Chapter 13 - Decepticons: The "bad guys" in Transformers race
DECEPTICONS believe in total domination of the universe and the acquisition of power…and they will exploit anyone and anything that stands in their way. The Decepticons exhibit typical gang behavior, and each member's loyalty is to himself first.
MEGATRON is the ruthless leader of the DECEPTICONS and the primary villain in the “Transformers” saga. His vehicle - a Jet, Tank or Blaster. Megatron is one of the Transformers robots, giving him the ability to modify his body's structure into other objects, the original and most common "alternate mode" being a gun.
He was the sworn opponent of Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, when the civil war erupted again.
Eventually, the war drained Cybertron of most of its energy, necessitating that both factions seek out new worlds and new sources of power. Megatron and his elite forces pursued the Autobots' craft (the Ark) in their star cruiser and attacked and boarded the craft, causing it to crash on prehistoric Earth, entombing all on the ship in emergency stasis as it crashed into a dormant volcano.

STARSCREAM's intelligence and skill assured him the position of the Decepticons' second-in-command. Sly and ruthless but highly capable. Starscream makes no secret of the fact that he wants to replace Megatron as leader of the Decepticons.
The Decepticons left Cybertron following the Autobots, and crashed into Earth.While departing the Ark and leaving the Autobots for dead, Starscream fired upon the ship, unwittingly causing the Autobots to be reactivated.
BRAWL is an ornery Decepticon, one of MEGATRON'S loyal henchmen, who is always ready for battle. His machine is a tank which has a distinctive three-barrel turret. While Brawl is something of a loudmouth, he is only telling the truth about his abilities.Brawl has an extremely short temper, provoking bursts of uncontrollable fury that render him berserk in battle.
Brawl is built for one thing, and on thing alone - destruction. His programming has been gripped, for as long as he can remember, by a rage so deep and so hot that he feels little else. The only thing that allows him a few moments of happiness is the fury of combat. There is nothing so sweet to him as the thunderous noise of his shells bursting against the armor of a faltering Autobot.
Brawl is heavily armed, with a Gatling gun, claws and twin missile launchers.
