The '''Rite of the Deceptibrand'''<ref>''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|The AllSpark Almanac]]''</ref> is a ritual that is used by the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] and involves [[branding]] their symbol into a new [[Transformer]] after an oath of loyalty is given. The branding is not exactly a painless procedure.<br />

==Fiction==<br />
===Animated continuity===<br />
Once the [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicons]] had proven their use, [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] allowed them to undergo the Rite of the Deceptibrand to make them true Decepticons. The oath went as follows:<br />
<br />
''I pledge my unquestioning loyalty to Megatron and the Decepticon cause.''<br />
''I shall devote my spark to achieving our goal of a Decepticon controlled Cybertron, by any means necessary.''<br />
''And annihilate all who have driven us from our rightful homeworld.''<br />
''Surrender is not an option.''<br />
<br />
[[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] and [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]] recited the oath of loyalty, in response to which Megatron branded them with the Decepticon insignia. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
* During the Rite, the Constructicons also changed color, from a yellow-gray scheme to the traditional green-purple. Whether this is part of the Rite ''per se'' is unknown.<br />
