Predacon (BT)


 * The Predacons are a faction from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Arising from the ashes of the Apocalypse World, the Predacons are, at least in part, descendants of the Decepticons. Some sources suggest that they were born from what remained of the original five Predacons. They exist as something of an underclass, appearing to be equals, but firmly under the Maximals in the social order. This has led many Predacons to hold bitter grudges against the Maximals.

Predacons tend to take reptilian or arthropod beast modes, although this is not a hard-and-fast rule. They can also turn into less-than-realistic sea creatures and military vehicles.

The adjective for "of or pertaining to the Predacons" is Predaconial, though it is extremely common to simply substitute 'Predacon'.

"You do not know the Predacons. We —- they live for the glory of conquest."
