There are so many variations of [[insignia]] across the breadth of the [[Transformers brand]] that it might be a fool's errand to try and list them all — but we are those fools!

While many of these insignia, such as that of the [[Wreckers]], are used in multiple [[continuity|continuities]] or [[continuity family|families]], others, such as the [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]] insignia, are confined to [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|only one]].

{{TOC|limit=3}}
==Factions==
===Autobots===
In the real world, the Autobot insignia was derived from the head of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s toy.

Its in-universe origin varies: in [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] it was applied by the [[Quintesson]]s to their "consumer good" creations, while in [[Marvel Comics continuity]] it is seemingly based on the [[Last Autobot]]. In [[2005 IDW continuity]] it was "created" by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who claimed it to be the face of [[Primus]], as part of an ontological paradox.

===Decepticons===
In the real world, the Decepticon insignia was based on [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s toy head. In the 1980s the crest of the symbol usually had a "squared-off" bottom, while modern portrayals generally have the crest pointed at the base.

Its origin in-universe is generally less-explored than that of the Autobots. In the [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] it was a symbol applied to the Quintessons' "military hardware", while in the [[live-action film series]], [[Aligned continuity family]], and ''[[Transformers One (film)|One]]'', it is based on the face of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]].

There are so many variations of [[insignia]] across the breadth of the [[Transformers brand]] that it might be a fool's errand to try and list them all — but we are those fools!

While many of these insignia, such as that of the [[Wreckers]], are used in multiple [[continuity|continuities]] or [[continuity family|families]], others, such as the [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]] insignia, are confined to [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|only one]].

{{TOC|limit=3}}
==Factions==
===Autobots===
In the real world, the Autobot insignia was derived from the head of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s toy.

Its in-universe origin varies: in [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] it was applied by the [[Quintesson]]s to their "consumer good" creations, while in [[Marvel Comics continuity]] it is seemingly based on the [[Last Autobot]]. In [[2005 IDW continuity]] it was "created" by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who claimed it to be the face of [[Primus]], as part of an ontological paradox.

File:Live action Autobot insignia.png|'''Autobot''' ''([[Live-action film series|live-action film]])'' The biggest change is that the tops of the eye sockets, horizontal in the G1 symbol, tip down towards the middle in the Movie symbol.

File:War Within Autobot Symbol.png|An early war Autobot insignia variant used in ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]. 
</gallery>

===Decepticons===
In the real world, the Decepticon insignia was based on [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s toy head. In the 1980s the crest of the symbol usually had a "squared-off" bottom, while modern portrayals generally have the crest pointed at the base.

Its origin in-universe is generally less-explored than that of the Autobots. In the [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] it was a symbol applied to the Quintessons' "military hardware", while in the [[live-action film series]], [[Aligned continuity family]], and ''[[Transformers One (film)|One]]'', it is based on the face of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]].

;''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''
Each playable Autobot has a Generation-1 style insignia next to their name on the character select screen, combining details of the classic Autobot symbol and the character's head (in Grimlock's case, his beast mode head). These symbols also serve as icons for certain character-related achievements. Other characters from the game also receive their own insignia as achievement icons.
