- This article is about the Robots In Disguise (2001) Predacon (RID) subgroup. For the faction that appears in most continuities, see Decepticon.
The Decepticons, also known as the Vehicons, were once a ship crew of Autobots who were in protoform statis within a Stasis Pod each, that is until Megatron and his lackeys stole the pods and had them and their occupants scan available vehicles; during which Megatron would infuse his own Spark energy into each of them to change their programming to the side of evil and creating a brand new faction.
