:''The Vehicons are a faction in the Transformers franchise, [[Beast Machines]].''<br />
[[Image:Vehicon symbol.png|frame|right|150px|Mindless. Obedient. Radioactive.]]<br />
<br />
Most '''Vehicon'''s are [[spark|sparkless]] drones with no innate sentience or [[spark]]. Each Vehicon drone is usually controlled either directly by [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], or by a single sentient [[Vehicon general]] of the same (or similar) design. After the loss of [[Tankor]] and [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]], their respective drones are apparently controlled by other generals.<br />
<br />
Vehicon drones are, in almost all cases, mindless cannon-fodder, blindly obedient, with no sense of self-preservation. However, on a few occasions [[Copter Drone]]s and [[Motorcycle Drone]]s have appeared to use emotive body language, shaking in apparent fear or pleading (wordlessly) not to be shot. These brief spurts of personality were probably just a stylistic choice by the director (to make the scene clearer), and not an indicator that the drones are more than drones. On one occasion a [[Tank Drone]] vocalizes with Tankor's voice, but this may have been an animation error {{storylink|The Weak Component}}.<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
In the [[Beast Machines (cartoon)|''Beast Machines'' cartoon continuity]], Megatron overthrows [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by overrunning it with thousands of Vehicon drones built from the recycled bodies of fallen, de-sparked Cybertron citizens.<br />
