The Villains of the Transformers

Heroes wouldn't be necessary if there are no Villains. Though they cause great havoc and trouble for the good guys, their contributions to make Transformer such a popular icon couldn't be measured. Of course, who will make the Autobots act as heroic if there are no wrongdoers to be sorted out?

1. Megatron

The exact opposite of Optimus Prime, Megatron was highly aggressive and a megalomaniac. According to his original tech spec, Megatron has no known weaknesses but this does not spare him from defeat at the hands of his enemies. For all his famed battle prowess and tactical ability, Megatron's overconfidence often causes him to overlook some vital strategic detail and lose the battle.

2. Starscream

It is a known fact that Starscream has the dearest ambition of overthrowing Megatron of the leadership of the Decepticons and due to his treachery and personality; he has become a fan favorite and one of the popular Transformer characters ever. Starscream believes that the Decepticons should rely more on guile and speed rather than brute destructive force to defeat the Autobots.

3. Scorponok

Scorponok’s primary alternate mode is the giant scorpion with claws that can crush mountains and a tail that fires deadly electric blasts. He likes causing destruction and misery and takes great pleasure in inflicting suffering as much as he could. His base mode is the Fasttrack, an armoured vehicle that can transform into a robot mode armed with twin photon cannons.

4. Shockwave

As the Decepticons' military operations commander, Shockwave's power is second only to
Megatron's. His actions are carried out with the cold, brutal clarity and perfection one would expect of a purely mechanical being — his way is not that of blood lust, like so many other Decepticons, but rather that of a scientist attempting to solve a problem.
