Megatron: "Megatron is the cold and heartless leader of the Decepticons. As a civil war over control of their planet with the Autobots exhausted the resources of their planet Cybertron, Megatron went and searched for the All Spark. His search lead him to Earth where he crashed in the Arctic for over 10,000 years. Megatron doesn't take an earthly form in his alternate mode but transformer into a Cybertonian jet and tank. He is armed with a powerful fusion cannon and can match Optimus Prime blow for blow though he will retreat when facing certain defeat".
Barricade: "Is the hunter/scout of the Decepticons, transforming into a Saleen S281E police car to easily hide among the humans as a symbol of authority. He wields spinning spikes known as blade wheels in his hands and uses them as close-combat striking weapons. He hates all Autobots but considers Bumblebee his rival".
Frenzy: "Is light weight small frame, is perfectly built for espionage. With only a small automatic weapon on each hand and CD-like shurikens that fire from his chest, Frenzy isn’t built for head-to-head combat. However, his lightening quick reflexes and ability to transform into a multitude of everyday items including a GPX boom box, a car radio and a cell phone enable him to blend in easily".

Blackout: "Blackout is fiercely loyal to Decepticon leader Megatron and transforms into a Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low IV helicopter. He is the largest of the Decepticons serving as transportation for his comrades and most often carries Scorponok on his back. In addition to the ability to generate EMP blasts, he is armed with a missile launcher, 2 arm-mounted Gatling cannons and 2 energy cannons. In close-quarter combat he can also detach and wield his tail rotor blades as a weapon".
Bonecrusher: "Bonecrusher hates and despises everything – Autobots, Decepticons, even himself. He follows Megatron not out of respect but of fear. He transforms into a Force Protection built Buffalo armored vehicle (MRAP). With wheels for feet, he “skates” instead runs and besides the machine guns in each arm, he touts an intimidating claw-like scoop at the end of a large telescopic arm which he can use to pull enemies closer with deadly force".
Brawl: "Is often described as “a very pissed off Decepticon” who is always looking for a fight – especially with an Autobot. He transforms into a M1 Abrams tank with a secondary dual turret. His heavy armor allows him to take large amounts of damage but he can dish it out even more with the largest arsenal of any other Transformer – 8 missile launchers (4 on each shoulder), a quad-mounted 37mm cannon on his right forearm and a small dual ripper blade combined with a Gatling gun on his left forearm".
Starscream: "Starscream is Megatron’s second in command – though if given the opportunity he would betray Megatron for a chance to lead the Decepticons. He rules the air as a F-22 Raptor but prefers subtlety and deception to out-and-out brute force. He prefers picking on opponents smaller than himself and fights them with a missile launcher and machine guns".
Dispensor: "Dispensor was created by the All Spark as Sam Witwicky fled from Megatron. In alternate mode he is a seemingly harmless Mountain Dew machine but in robot form he is deadly serving Death Dew Bombs from his can shooting arm cannons."
Nokia Robot: "Once a simple Nokia N93i cell phone but brought to life by energy from the All Spark, this guy is small but with his Gatling gun tail he packs a big punch."
Alice/Decepticon: "Alice is the only female on the Decepticon team and also the only one capable of looking like a human. She is a Pretender Bot and is designed for only one thing – infiltration. Besides being ultra-hot and seductive, she is also agile and strong. Her only weapon, aside from her “killer” good looks is a long articulated tongue she can use to bring her victims closer in for the kill."
The Constructicons
There are several members to the group of Decepticons known as the Constructicons. Some are used as fodder for repairing fallen comrades and others are massive enough to fight the Autobots on their own.
Kitchen-Bots
"When Sam Witwicky unknowing dropped a small fragment of the All Spark that had been tucked away in his jacket, it burned through his floor and brought to life several appliances in his kitchen – these are known as the Kitchen Bots. These bots are small, deadly and destructive but easily dispatched by Bumblebee’s plasma cannon."
Microcons/Reedman: "Microcons are the smallest of the Decepticons – travelling in large groups as tiny individual robots infiltrating even the tightest of spaces. When threatened however they all combine to form Reedman – a Decepticon so flat and razor thin that he appears almost invisible when viewed from certain angles."
Ravage: "Ravage is on of Soundwave’s “pets” and vaguely resembles the Earth form of a cat. He can carry Microcons in his mouth and is equipped with set of razor sharp teeth, spines down his back and an additional claw on the tip of his tail."
Sideways: "Is a coward plain and simple choosing to hide with allies bigger and stronger than himself for protection instead of fighting the Autobots. He would rather flee combat than fight them head on. While on Earth he hides in the shadow of Demolisher hoping to avoid confrontation altogether. His alternate mode is a silver Audi R8."
Soundwave: "Soundwave is the chief communications and intelligence officer for the Decepticons and is also Megatron’s most loyal servant. There isn't a communication or electronic device he can’t hack and his primary mode is in the form of satellite orbiting above Earth. He rarely is ever is involved in direct combat but not only spies on the Autobots but his own Decepticons as well, reporting any disloyal behavior directly to Megatron. Ravage and Laserbeak are considered to be his minions."
The Doctor: "The Doctor is the lead scientist and medic for the Decpeticons carrying out torturous, cruel and sadistic experiments and interrogations on his subjects. His alternate mode is a a microscope though he mainly carries out his activities in robot mode and allows the Insecticons to probe the minds of his unfortunate “patients”."
The Fallen: "The Fallen was one of the original Seven Primes but he developed a thirst for power and a callous attitude for other living beings besides himself. He tried to destroy planet Earth with the Solar Harvester (a machine that produces energon from the power of the Sun) which went against the Primes main rule – “Never destroy a planet with life.” For his defiant actions, the Primes banished him to deep space where he remained until Megatron brought him back to Earth. He has the ability to “warp” short distances and impales his enemies with a long Cybertronian spear."
THE DREADS
"The Dreads are a trio of Decepticons (lead by Crankcase) who transform into black Chevrolet Suburban emergency SUVs. While Crankcase and Crowbar have beastly, albeit humanoid, alternate forms, when not in vehicle form, Hatchet appears as a cybernetic lion".

Driller: "The driller was one of many native Cybertronian creatures, until it was domesticated by Shockwave prior to the destruction of Cybertron. Shockwave now commands the leviathan. Though the bot is never shown in full, appearing mostly as a series of wriggling robotic tentacles, the Driller does appear to have a “head” of sorts – fitted with bladed “teeth” as pictured in the image above."
Garbage Truck: "The Decepticon protoform came to Earth via the space bridge opened by Sentinel Prime then immediately scanned a nearby Waste Management garbage truck and fled the scene. Nothing else is known about it."
Igor: "First spotted at Megatron’s African camp, Igor is a small and disfigured Decepticon bootlicker. Igor’s combined portrayals in the Dark of the Moon novelization and early concept art could indicate that the character is actually Long Haul’s decapitated head. Unlike similarly-sized peons such as Wheelie and Brains, Igor lacks an alternate form and does not contribute to the overall war in any meaningful capacity – unless you count chewing on various items as a meaningful contribution."
SCALPELS: "These Decepticons serve the same basic function as the Doctor except instead of interrogating enemies they work in unison to repair their damaged comrades – usually with no appreciation. They have no discernible weapons systems or alternate mode."
Shockwave: "Shockwave is one of the Decepticon’s most brilliant minds as well as deadliest warriors – and is fiercely devoted to Megatron. In addition to taming the infamous Driller creature, Shockwave terrorizes the Autobot resistance fighters with an arm-mounted AstroMag Cannon – and ice cold dedication to his mission. The Decepticon has no alternate form in the film but transforms into a Cybertronian tank in the Hasbro toy line."
Watch-bot: "This unnamed Decepticon affixes itself to a host around the wrist and gives the appearance of a regular looking timepiece – however, once it has tapped into the central nervous system it can control its host as well as, observe and record any data the host sees and hears. Once it has finished gathering intelligence it drops off and scurries back to the Decepticon base to report."
