The Decepticons are a fictional faction of sentient robots in the Transformers multimedia franchise. Serving as the main antagonists in the franchise, their goals include conquering their fictional homeworld planet Cybertron, defeating the Autobots, and achieving universal domination.

==Description== The Decepticons are the primary antagonistic faction of the Transformers franchise and are usually identified by red or yellow eyes and a purple, face-like insignia on their chests or shoulders. Unlike their more civilian-oriented nemeses, the franchise protagonist Autobots, Decepticons almost always transform into military hardware, such as military aircraft, military vehicles, and ground combat vehicles, though there are instances of Decepticons that transform into construction vehicles, luxury cars, sports cars, and even smaller-than-human-sized household objects like cameras and cassette players. While their factional goal is ostensibly to protect their homeworld, Cybertron, at all costs, this has resulted in a faction bent on conquest, plundering, and genocide in practice, and the Decepticons are anything but united in purpose.
