Corvicon

The Corvicons are a Decepticon subgroup from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Like some vast, kleptomaniacal bird!

Corvicons, also known as crow Decepticons or Crowcons, are compulsive thieves and hoarders, utterly single-minded in their pursuit of treasure, though this treasure can be anything from a super-valuable crystalline containment vessel to a discarded foil gum wrapper. The important thing is that it be shiny—the glitterier the better. Equipped with sharp talons and screechy, squawking voices, they are highly maneuverable in flight, and specalize in making swooping attacks to rake their enemies with their claws.

The criminals Filch, Boostwing, Jacknab, and Pilfer are Corvicons.

Fiction

A Minitron-controlled Grimlock identified Corvicons as habitual hoarders. True Colors

Filch was released in the wreck of the Autobot prison ship Alchemor and began to collect shiny objects from around the Crown City area to build a nest in a statue, downing power lines, interfering with traffic and generally being a nuisance. Denny Clay also ended up in her clutches, but Sideswipe and the Autobots were able to rescue him and return Filch to stasis. Collect 'Em All

Like some slightly less vast, kleptomanical bird.

Filch stole the Scavengebot Scuzzard from the Autobots, but when he started eating her base of operations in an amusement park, the two fought, and Bumblebee's Autobot team was able to recapture them both. Bumblebee Versus Scuzzard

Notes

[edit]
  • Corvids are, taxonomically speaking, the crows and their relatives; Corvicons' shiny-craving, thieving behavior is specifically associated with magpies, and their "swooping" attack pattern is reminicient of the Australian variety of same.
  • Corvicons are called by different names at different times in the series. Filch is identified as a Corvicon (in an ancillary book), but Boostwing and his brothers are "crow Decepticons" to the Autobots, while Russell Clay calls them "Crowcons". In addition, Boostwing's gang has prominent "beak" kibble on the front of their helmets that Filch lacks, and while Filch is significiantly larger than the Autobots, Boostwing and his brothers (despite matching Filch in silhouette) are only slightly larger than Strongarm.
