The six most dangerous Decepticons.

The Decepticons are the main villains of Transformers, and the source calls them some of the best villains ever introduced in fiction. They're eager to take over the entire universe, relying on the most covert means possible if they can get what they want. Though Starscream and Shockwave are always ready to arrange, the materials reveal six lovers of pure energy no greater than any deception; however, these characters are described as being at their most dangerous when destroying almost anything you go through in order to approach their fate.

Megatron turns into the factor to lead the force.

Megatron is said to be the central figure of the Decepticons. He's one of those men with a secret power, who has used his powers to gain life many times over in countless battles and ultimately he wants only one thing:

The list also states that no single ideology was enough to keep the Decepticons in check. What they cared about most were his unyielding temper and incredible power, which demonstrated just how powerful he could be.

Megatron builds his name out of battles, forcing people to respect him. He then spends years killing various Prime Ones until he meets Optimus. Although other Decepticons are given more destructive powers depending on the time period, a source says that Megatronic's power is remarkably consistent throughout the universe.

The Trypticon makes the destruction seem like a force on the scale of an entire city.

Trypticon was created in response to the Autobots' construction of the Metroplex. The metropolis gave the robot power to become a city, and the Decepticons needed it themselves, according to one source.

As you'd expect from a robot of its size, Trypticon is incredibly powerful, which makes his destructive motives all the more fearsome. While other Decepticons have their own ambitions or want to help Megatron achieve her goals, tryptikon is different: he doesn't want to go through with the Autobots; he wants to wipe out everything in his path, whether it be Cybertronian.

Until Metropolis arrives, the best they can hope for is to allow Titan versus Titan combat. Like Megatron, other Decepticons' power levels depend on their universe; Trypticon has always been an ancient city and therefore one of the strongest and most dangerous deceptions around.

Scorponok is a fortress, a boxer and a potential threat to our leaders.

Scorponok has a fascinating history of detail. As one of the original handful of Cybertronians, he created for himself an enormous Transtector body and became Headmaster. With that Transtectors body, he joined the Decepticons and established himself as one of Galvatron's strongest allies.

In The Headmasters, Scorponok's transtector body is the size of a battleship and very similar to that of Autobot leader Fortress Maximus. He has been featured many times in combat with him, occasionally winning, as he is the opposite number of Fortress Maxim. His main asset was being able to take down and overthrow the warship version of Fortresses maxim by leverage, demonstrating JUST how much stronger he was than most Decepticons.

In the IDW universe, he is much closer to a normal-sized Cybertronian. However, he remains one of the best Decepticons and made history as his own gladiator at about the same time that Megatron did. He was powerful enough to take on Dinobots and kill Hot Rod without even trying.

Overlord is still finding ways to get stronger across the timelines.

In Transformers: Masterforce, the Overlords are actually a result of two people merging using the same transtector. They take over Decepticons as "ambassadors of destruction" and can fight on equal terms with God Ginrai several times.

Then, in the IDW cartoons, Overlord is one of Decepticon's brutal creatures. There he has a background as a boxer and gains victories over everyone he encounters except Megatron himself. As if that wasn't enough, he chooses to use Overlard for a special campaign which further boosts his power. The source says that he is basically unstoppable, passing through both Autobots and Deceptikons, and that the only person with a built-in way to stop him is MegaTron.

In the Transformers: Prime Wars trilogy, Overlord becomes a weapon of sorts for Megatronus. By wielding this power, he proves to be more powerful than Autobots such as Hot Rod and Mistress of Flame. He then uses the power given by the Megatrons to kill Decepticon synthesizer Menasor with his bare hands.

Liokaiser changed the balance of power in Transformers.

In Transformers: Victory, there is no guarantee that Deathsaurus will be able to recruit as many Decepticons. A source says most of the best Deception have left the series; however, everything changes rapidly when Liokaiser is introduced.

Liokaiser, a hybrid version of Breastforce, is one of the Decepticons' most powerful soldiers. Unlike many mergers, she does not struggle with being separated by different personalities and remains focused while merging. Even before several battles against Autobots in the world, her skills have improved to such an extent that she has become one of their most dangerous deceptionists.

Liokaiser was a skilled warrior and proved himself immediately in the battle against Star Saber, leader of the Autobots. He did his work quickly and almost surrendered to his friend God Ginrai. Later on, at Landcross, he showed superiority over any other Combiner, even establishing a hierarchy amongst his own kindreds. His talents and stealth capabilities in physical combat make him an enemy comparable to few Autobot rivals.

The Deathsaurus was less talked about, but it remained a global threat.

Deathsaurus is one of the few Decepticons to have taken over a Deception army, but people don't know much about him. He first appears in Transformers: Victory, where he takes charge as the new Emperor of Destruction against the Deceptions. With that, he decides to travel across the universe and threaten alien societies, all to create a power world for the Deception.

Even without the most powerful Decepticons to help him, Deathsaurus still poses a potential threat to planet Earth. Like Megatron, he sees Earth as a planet infested with Energon and is willing to send his crew into battle against mighty Autobots, which in turn means frequent encounters with Star Saber.

What does this mean for us today?

For readers, this list separates the Decepticons from more than a general evil army. It distinguishes conspirators such as Starscream and Shockwave from terrorists who rely solely on bodies, weapons, and strength. All six names also show how Transformers ability levels can continually change: Scorponok alternates between castle-sized Headmaster and regular-size gladiator, Overlord combines Masterforce threat with IDW monster, while Megatron and Trypticon are always dangerous in their own way.
