And Bringing Up The Rear...

Phew! Just got the last few stragglers of Decepticons up on Flickr. These include my very favorite Soundwave with his minions (see above) and all the group shots.

Are you intimidated? I'm intimidated.

Decepticon Invasion Third Wave

The third wave of  Decepticons is up on Flickr! We have even started breaking them down into sets to make viewing a little easier for everyone. This wave particularly showcased the combiner sets.

And Unicron, of course.

Oh, yeah. We went there.

Decepticon Invasion Second Wave

The second wave of Decepticons is up on Flickr! Here we have all those Barricades and Megatrons. Yikes!

Find them all here.

Decepticon Invasion First Wave

Finally, the invasion begins! Got the first wave of Decepticons up on Flickr, and may I just say that there are way too many Starscreams. View them here. Two more waves will follow so get ready!

Today Is A Good Day To Talk About Decepticons

I cannot be called a Transformers geek. I have enjoyed the new movies, the old movie, and a few of the G1 episodes, but I don't have vast amounts of knowledge on the canon of the show. So my understanding of what makes Decepticons Decepticons is that Autobots were the default mode of mechanical alien beings and then a group of evil-minded mechanical alien beings broke away from the Autobots and became the Decepticons because their unifying purpose is to be anti-Autobot. I could be wrong. Please don't hurt me.

Decepticins have these characteristics:

1. They enjoy destruction/don't care about the consequences of their actions, and
2. They have cooler vehicle (and often even robot) modes than the Autobots

I am not making this up. Soundwave - way cooler than Blaster. Devastator - way cooler than Ultra-Magnus. Even Starscream - much as I hate to admit this considering what an annoying character he is - is cooler than Blurr. And Unicron just beats all.

This said, there are a few pics up on Flicker of Decepticon vehicle modes. Check them out here.

Decepticons, Assemble!

Stayed up so late last night trying to get Decepticon photos done that I passed out before I could post. In the middle of photographing everyone in vehicle mode, Derrick and I decided that when we take the robot mode photos we should splice them together with the vehicle mode photos. This means we can't post onto Flickr until we take some robot mode pictures, which requires Derrick transforming them into robot mode. In the meantime, I have gotten up early and fought to get on the Internet so that I can bring you this, the first Decepticon group portrait. Enjoy!
