Predacon

The Predacons are usually depicted as antagonists in the fictional universes of the ''Transformers'' storyline and related comics and cartoons. Usually, they have a relation to the Decepticons, the more prominent antagonists of the series, be they a subgroup, their successors, or even their creators. They are the enemies of the Maximals and even sometimes their predecessors, the Autobots, depending on the continuity. The villains take many forms, and have many different origins and stories across the numerous different Transformers media, but in almost all incarnations, they are led by a character who is either Megatron (the original or an entirely separate character who took his name), or Predaking, an ancient Predacon leader. They are typically represented by the facial insignia they all wear. In the Japanese version of the franchise, the Predacons are called Destrons or Animatrons ((日本語:デストロン) ''Desutoron''). The one exception to this naming convention is ''Car Robots'', where the overall name of the ''Robots in Disguise'' villain faction is Destronger.
==Transformers: Generation 1==

In the original series, the Predacons (the ''Animatrons'' in Japan) are a team of five fearsome Decepticon hunters, able to transform into wild beasts and combine their bodies and minds into the giant robot, Predaking.
The original team includes:
* Razorclaw - The leader of the Predacons. He transforms into a lion. Razorclaw forms the head, massive torso & thighs of Predaking. Razorclaw despises the unnecessary expenditure of energy and resources. He is preternaturally patient, always waiting for the best moment to strike. Voiced by Joe Leahy.
* Rampage - He transforms into a tiger. Rampage forms the right arm of Predaking. He is a little more than a raging psychopath, in a constant state of anger that leaves even the other Predacons afraid of him. Thankfully, there is one way of keeping Rampage under control for he is easily distracted by mindless television entertainment. Voiced by Laurie Faso.
* Divebomb - He transforms into an eagle. Divebomb forms the left arm of Predaking and his wings also become Predaking's wings. He is a loner by nature. Divebomb only combines with his teammates when he has no other option. On his own, he amuses himself by destroying objects from the air for the sheer joy of it. Voiced by Laurie Faso.
* Tantrum - He transforms into a bull. Tantrum forms the left lower leg of Predaking. Tantrum is the fueler of the Predacons, always using brute force to see things through, even when it is not called for. In reality, he has severe anger problems and releases his anger by destroying anything unlucky enough to get in his way. Voiced by Philip L. Clarke.
* Headstrong - He transforms into an Indian rhinoceros. Headstrong forms the right lower leg of Predaking. He is unbelievably stubborn and does not take advice from anyone. However, Headstrong is probably the weakest of the team and extremely insecure about it. Voiced by Ron Feinberg.
Released in 1986, the Predacons became a popular seller, and came in two variants - entirely plastic, and with die-cast metal parts, the latter version being the most sought after. Unlike the other combiners released that year, Predaking was substantially larger and did ''not'' follow the same basic so-called "Scramble City" design which allowed his component limbs to be swapped freely; each arm and leg could be interchanged with each other, but an arm could not form a leg, and vice versa. Illustrating this point are the various depictions of Predaking's limb arrangement - his instructions and toy box art depict Divebomb as the left arm, Rampage the right arm, Headstrong the left leg and Tantrum the right, while his cartoon and comic book appearances perform a straight swap of this.
Although most of the combiners are little more than lumbering brutes who use sheer force to obliterate their enemies, Predaking is different. Where some of the other combiners have trouble thinking due to the mismatched minds of their components, all the Predacons are focused on the thrill of the hunt. Because of this, Predaking moves with increased speed and grace rare for a being his size, merely reacting to threats rather than actually thinking about it, no matter how small. He seems to act almost on pure instinct, which often manifests as sheer overpowering brutality. As a warrior, he has no equal. As a weapon, there is no defense against him. However, despite this, he suffers many defeats in the animated series (often called on to defeat very large and powerful enemies) as well as in the Marvel comics.
As seen later in the ''Beast Wars'' toyline and animated series, the Predacons are descendants of the Decepticons with new smaller, more energy-efficient bodies. Though the Decepticons and Predacons share many similarities, several important differences exist, such as leadership and ideals: for example, choosing a pretense of peace with the Maximals rather than maintain a war at all costs. It is not completely known as to how the faction gained predominance over all the other various Decepticon factions, although the comic book miniseries ''Beast Wars: The Gathering'' has provided hints that their heritage may be found in the original combiner team Predacons, hints confirmed by the subsequent ''Timelines: Dawn of Futures Past'', which confirmed that Razorclaw, Divebomb and the other Predacons had been working behind the scenes. Due to the similarity in circumstances between Megatron, Ravage and the Tripredacus Council and Kurtz, Willard and the American's presence in Vietnam in the film ''Apocalypse Now'' the writers of Beast Wars used the classic line, "Terminate, with extreme prejudice" in the similar context.
