'''Cyberforming''' is the process of converting a planet into an environment hospitable to mechanical lifeforms, particularly [[Cybertronian]]s. It can be performed rapidly through devices capable of converting organic matter to technological matter, such as the [[Key to Vector Sigma]]. It can also be performed manually in a much more gradual process, such as that performed by the Cybertronian Empire in the construction of the [[Hub]].

==Beast Machines==
In the Beast Machines cartoon, the [[Oracle]] revealed that even [[Cybertron]] itself was not originally technological, but was cyberformed under the direction of the [[Quintessons]].<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

Hub (G2)

2007-07-28T15:31:43Z

207.121.52.21: Might as well give it a page.

:''The Hub is a location in the [[Generation 2]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family''

'''The Hub''' was the seat of power of the [[Cybertronian|Cybertronian Empire]]. A powerful planet-spanning network of [[cyberforming|cyberformed]] structures, it housed the [[Decepticon]] progenitor known as the [[Liege Maximo]]. Inhabiting it were a wide variety of mechanical organisms, beings that might have once been Decepticons, but had been advanced to the point of having multiple forms and reduced to a hive mentality, little more than extensions of the Liege Maximo's will.

==Alignment==
The Hub had long been performing a complex operation through successive iterations, its accuracy improving as planets were added to the network. The goal of this operation was to allow the Liege Maximo to ascend to the realm of the [[Unicron|Dark Gods]]. At a critical moment this operation was disrupted on two fronts by a small group of Autobots led by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and an alliance of Decepticons and Autobots led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and a resurrected [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Megatron actually managed to wound his ancestor before perishing, which caused the Liege Maximo to panic and attempt to enter the portal prematurely. It collapsed, destroying him. The resolution of this threat led to the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]].{{storylink|Alignment}}

Cybertronian

207.121.52.21: Clarifying a little.

{{Template:Disambig3|Cybertronian}}

:''The Cybertronians are a faction in the [[Generation 2]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. They're sometimes refered to as '''Second Generation Decepticons''' or some variation thereon.''

[[Image:Cybertronian.png|thumb|The emblem of the Cybertronian Empire. They're not Decepticons, honest.]]
The '''Cybertronians''' were a result of [[Decepticon]] rediscovery of [[Reproduction#Budding|Bio-Morphic Reproduction]] ("budding") ~4 million years ago on Cybertron. The Decepticons were able to rapidly expand their population using this method.

These new Decepticons left Cybertron in the hands of [[Straxus|petty warlords unfit for the future empire]] and took to the stars to conquer other worlds.

In the modern era, the '''Cybertronian Empire''' has adopted an aggressively expansionist stance. They claim to have advanced their society beyond the need for war, but hold little regard for non-Cybertronian lifeforms. Under the cause of improving the quality of life for their citizens, they have conquered many worlds, enslaving or exterminating the native population and [[cyberforming]] the planets to create "little Cybertrons."

This was apparently under the direction of the Decepticon progenitor known as the [[Liege Maximo]], who rules them from the planet-spanning structure known as the [[Hub]], which harnesses the networked power of the cyberformed planets. The construction of this network was later revealed to be part of a gambit by the Liege Maximo to ascend to the plane of the [[Unicron|Dark Gods]].

==Physiology==

The new Transformers created by budding felt little or no emotional attachment to Cybertron. In fact, they felt little at all. Primus' plan had shut down reproduction via budding at the intended point and the more these new Decepticons reproduced after that the more thinly his life force was streatched between them, the more they "watered down the line" to use Megatron's phrasing, leading them to be "born" less and less emotional and more and more robotic in nature.

They have a tendency towards a uniform color scheme of light green and silver. Many of the smaller troops must combine in pairs to form one alternate mode (This may possibly be a symptom of their degenerating "genetic" line).

==Decepticon or Cybertronian?==
Many citizens of the Cybertronian Empire have long since forgotten the terms "Autobot" and "Decepticon" in the millennia since leaving their birthworld. However their forebears are remembered bitterly by individuals such as Liege Centuro [[Jhiaxus]]. By his reckoning the Empire are the "true" Decepticons, having achieved the inborn Decepticon imperative of galactic conquest. He judges the Decepticons and Autobots they left behind as "evolutionary throwbacks." However, given Jhiaxus' former barbarism, he might be projecting his own issues onto his forebears.

==Trivia==
*The Cybertronian faction-symbol was also adopted by [[Bludgeon|Bludgeon's]] Decepticon forces during their period of exile from Cybertron while operating outside of the Milky Way. It's possible the symbol has a common cultural meaning that would cause two disconnected groups of Decepticons expatriates to gravitate towards it. (However, in a real world sense, it's likely that the Generation 2 faction symbols were mandated by Hasbro as no current toys used the original Decepticon symbol.)

'''Sam Witwicky''' is 16 and he needs a car. Quick, call [[Bernie Mac]]!

==Fiction==
===''Official Movie Prequel'' comics===
At age twelve, Sam's father presents him with the heirlooms of his ancestor [[Archibald Witwicky]]. Sam is not impressed and makes googly eyes with the arctic explorer's glasses.

Years later, Sam discovers the concept of riding around in cars to cruise for chicks. He looks to his box of priceless historical artifacts, and his thoughts turn to eBay...

==Trivia==
*Sam was not given the nickname "[[Spike Witwicky|Spike]]", nor [[Ron Witwicky|his father ]] the nickname "[[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]," because unlike their G1 counterparts the movie characters are not oil rig workers or mechanics. Earlier drafts of the script did have Sam earning the nickname "Spike" another way, but this was dropped before the script was finalized.

207.121.52.21: /* Armada */

:''Dualor is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

The leader of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], '''Dualor''' might very well be one of the most dangerous Mini-Cons ever. Not so much for his physical attributes, which are admittedly impressive. But Dualor is a ''staunch'' believer in Mini-Con independance, loathing all "[[bulk]]s", be they [[Decepticon]] or [[Autobot]]. He will lie, coerce, bully, and flat-out kidnap others into his cause. And there is nothing he's not willing to sacrifice... even other Mini-Cons, whether they signed up for his vision of how things should be or not. If innocents must suffer and die for his cause, well, so be it.

People like this need watching. Perferably from a distance, behind a barrier of some kind.

''Japanese name'': '''Duster'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

====Armada====
Prior to the war, Dualor was a resident of [[Mini-con Village C52]]. Dualar always longed to assert himself, but [[Rollbar (Armada)|Rollbar's]] level-headed leadership never gave him a chance.<ref>Dualor's MtMtE entry, and a flashback to [[Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10]]</ref>

{{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada#10 (bks)|float=right}}
Dualor was captured alongside his fellow residents when [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] broke through the village's defenses. After their escape craft crashed on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Dualor finally found himself in the position of responsibility he'd long craved, founding the [[Mini-Con Militia]] and building the concealed [[Mini-con Fortress Base]], using the constant threat of future Decepticon aggression to build a stable, regimented society which he rules with his fellow members of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team|Destruction Team]] [[Buzzsaw (Armada)|Buzzsaw]] and [[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drillbit]]

{{Storylink|Armada (Dreamwave comic)#Volume_2:_Fortress|Fortress|float=right}}
When the Mini-Cons on Earth awakened one million years later, Dualor was prepared to take drastic action to de-escalate the situation. He sent an [[Mini-con Ark|Ark]] to Earth, involuntarily drawing many of the planet's Mini-cons to him via an override signal.

The moon base is prepared for any possible Decepticon invasion, with massive ammunition stockpiles. The Mini-Con militia is less keen on the idea of fighting the Autobots (Buzz Saw even admired Optimus Prime,) nut Dualor fears that they have grown too dependent on Mini-Con augmentation to be trusted> He secretly places the Autobots' human ally [[Rad White|Rad]] (who had stowed away on the Ark) in an orbital mine to dissuade [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime's]] approach.

[[Leader-1|Leader-1]] subsequently attacked Dualor and his teammates in order to take over the Fortress' control center in a bid to destroy [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. The attempt was unsuccessful, but resulted in the incapacitated Destruction Team falling into Megatron's clutches.

{{Storylink|Fire & Ice|float=right}}
Megatron discovers the Destruction Team has installed a [[feedback failsafe]] to prevent them from being used against their will again, but Dualor is willing to make a deal; they'll give Megatron pure unfettered power with no afterburn in exchange for a bigger say in what's going on around here. Megatron accepts, and then designates that Cyclonus will be using the powerup, instead of him.

Predictably, Dualor lied. The Destruction team channels too much energy into Cyclonus, causing him to overhead and go crazy(er) while on a million to [[Alaska]]. For this MEgatron consigns them to the [[Punishment Cube]], used for disciplining naughty Mini-Cons.

{{Storylink|The End|Armada#18|float=right}}
Dualor and his teammates Buzz Saw and Drill Bit wre not among the Decepticon Mini-Cons released for the final battle with [[Unicron]]. Megatron is vague on their fate, simply saying that they are "better off without them." ''None of the Destruction Team were ever seen again.''

*'''Destruction Mini-Con Team''' (Basic, 2002/2003)

He can also be attached to the underside of the ''Armada'' Cyclonus mold, interacting with the Decepticon’s gear-wheel rotor system.

: This mold was also used to make [[Ascentor]] and [[Zapmap]].

*'''Sandstorm & Cannon with Destruction Micron''' (Multi-pack, 2003)

: In Japan, the Destruction Team was available both as an individual Team, and in a multi-pack with Cyclonus.

*'''Destruction Microns X-Dimension''' (Basic, 2003)
:''Japanese ID number'': '''MM-09'''

: A limited-edition (yet still standard retail) [[redeco]] of the Destruction Team was released in Japan. The entire team was given an orange and gray color scheme.

*'''Duster Undergrove Edition''' (Mini-Con, 2003)

: [[Exclusive]] to Ito Yokaido stores in Japan, one member of the "Undergrove Edition" Destruction Team was given at random to customers who bought ''Micron Legend'' product in January (or until they ran out of them).

*'''Duster White Micron''' (Mini-Con, 2003)

: In April, Japanese "TF Station" affiliate stores gave out solid-white versions of the Destruction Team as part of the "Golden Week" holiday. These pieces were made with the intent of being "paint your own" versions.

*'''Duster Space Galaxy Edition''' (Mini-Con pack-in, 2003)

: In May, Jusco stores in Japan got in special versions of [[Optimus Prime (Armada) #|Convoy Super Mode]] that contained one member of the "Space Galaxy Edition" Destruction Team per box... but the bonus Mini-Cons were blind-packed inside the boxes. As such, this version of the Team is among the most expensive of the promotional Mini-Cons on the secondary market.

*'''Road Wrecker Mini-Con Team''' (Basic, 2003)

: Late in the ''Armada'' line, a redeco of the Destruction Team was put out under a new Team name (but as the same individual characters). This version is primarily green with gray parts.

*'''Blurr with Incinerator and Bonus Mini-Con''' (Bonus pack, 2003)
*'''Sideways with Rook & Crosswise and Bonus Mini-Con''' (Bonus pack, 2003)

: In November of 2003, US Toys "R" Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for ''less'' than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys "R" Us' post-Thanksgiving-day sale. Each of the Destruction Team Mini-Cons could come packaged with either [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] or [[Sideways]].

===Energon===
*'''Road Wrecker Mini-Con Team & Night Attack Mini-Con Team'''

: An unaltered version of the Road Wrecker Team was released as part of an ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]''-series "Mini-Con 6-pack" with the [[Night Attack Mini-Con Team]].

==Trivia==
* The name "Dualor" shows up as one of the sponsor-labels on ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Decepticharge]].
* A team of mis-colored Mini-cons based on the Destruction Team in the first two issues of Dreamwave's Armada comic is apparently '''not''' the real Destruction Team, this trio was left behind on Cybertron when everyone else escaped, and never seen again.

*'''Road Wrecker Mini-Con Team''' (Basic, 2003)

: Late in the ''Armada'' line, a redeco of the Destruction Team was put out under a new Team name (but as the same individual characters). This version is primarily green with gray parts.

*'''Blurr with Incinerator and Bonus Mini-Con''' (Bonus pack, 2003)
*'''Sideways with Rook & Crosswise and Bonus Mini-Con''' (Bonus pack, 2003)

: In November of 2003, US Toys "R" Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for ''less'' than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys "R" Us' post-Thanksgiving-day sale. Each of the Destruction Team Mini-Cons could come packaged with either [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] or [[Sideways]].

===Energon===
*'''Road Wrecker Mini-Con Team & Night Attack Mini-Con Team'''

: An unaltered version of the Road Wrecker Team was released as part of an ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]''-series "Mini-Con 6-pack" with the [[Night Attack Mini-Con Team]].

==Trivia==
* The name "Dualor" shows up as one of the sponsor-labels on ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Decepticharge]].
* A team of mis-colored Mini-cons based on the Destruction Team in the first two issues of Dreamwave's Armada comic is apparently '''not''' the real Destruction Team, this trio was left behind on Cybertron when everyone else escaped, and never seen again.
