Through Vector Sigma, it is possible to program the Allspark to produce a custom-designed Transformer or indeed multiple Transformers. And there is no better example of this than the Decepticon supersoldiers. Described as a "perfect Decepticon race", these unflinching, unquestioning, and almost animalistic troops live only to serve their master, programmed with no desires of their own.

"Nobody expects the Decepticon inquisition!"
Cyberverse cartoon[]
During the Great War, Vector Sigma was seized by the Decepticons with Shockwave being tasked with hacking through its security. When Bumblebee was caught spying on the scientist, he was brought to Megatron revealed that he intended to have the Allspark produce him a new Decepticon race. Megatron Is My Hero
Some 66 million years later, after Starscream had stolen the Allspark, the Autobots, unaware of the Seeker's defection from the Decepticons, feared that Megatron would create his warriors, launching an assault on the Nemesis to seize the artifact. Dark Birth
Soon afterward, after the Ark had been destroyed by a laser snare, Battle For Cybertron I Megatron planned to fish the Allspark out of the wreckage and create his warriors only for it to be revealed that the Autobots had abandoned ship before the attack. Battle For Cybertron II The later destruction of Vector Sigma thoroughly undid any chance of Megatron creating his perfect soldiers. Battle For Cybertron IV
Alternate universe[]
- Voice actor: Ryan Nicolls (English)
In another reality, Megatron killed Optimus Prime in the early stages of the war and claimed the Matrix of Leadership for himself before he wiped away the Autobots. Once all resistance had been wiped away, Megatron created his perfect race of warriors and rid himself of the "unnecessary" Decepticons until only a handful remained, including Astrotrain and the Insecticons. The Other One
When the main timeline's Megatron broke into the Cybertron of this timeline and stole Megatron's Matrix, Megatron dispatched his supersoldiers to the other reality as an advance guard. Silent StrikeProving more than a match for the Autobots and Decepticons, they were defeated only by multiversal energy. A second wave was sent soon afterward but they were unceremoniously blasted into unspace by the native Megatron before Megatron X teleported in and reclaimed his Matrix. Before he could re-insert it into himself, the talisman was plucked by Bumblebee who flew off. Several supersoldiers teleported in to try and retrieve the artifact only to be tackled down by the native Cybertronians. The Other One
Following the death of Megatron X, the supersoldiers took revenge on his captor Astrotrain before infighting broke out among them due to their programmed need for dominance in the absence of a leader. One of them somehow developed a sense of individuality, named himself Tarn, and baited his battling brethren to the main reality in order to deceive the Autobots there into leading him to the Cortex Helm. The plan succeeded, and Tarn used the Helm to alter the supersoldiers' programming, making them loyal to him. Tarn used the supersoldiers to enforce his rule, hunting down any dissenters and forcing Optimus into a brutal deathsport against increasing numbers of supersoldiers. However, Optimus was rescued by the united forces of the Autobots and Decepticons, who battled the supersoldiers in an abandoned Cube arena. Though the supersoldiers gained the upper hand, the battle was ultimately brought to an end when Soundwave recovered the Helm and used it to reprogram the supersoldiers before destroying Tarn and himself. Thanks to Soundwave's reprogramming, the supersoldiers were given free will, leading them to decide to lay down their arms. Later, several supersoldiers were seen at Soundwave's wake, joining in a toast to his memory. The Perfect Decepticon
Notes[]
- The Decepticon supersoldiers are modeled after the original Tarn, the fanatic Megatron loyalist and leader of the Decepticon Justice Division from More than Meets the Eye.
