Decepticon Crypt

Save Tookie!

The Decepticon Crypt is located beneath the surface of Cybertron. It is the place where the Decepticons either lay the remains of their dead to rest, or simply honor their fallen comrades with markers bearing their likeness.

The requirements for being honored in this manner are anyone's guess, considering the known markers.

The figures inside the Crypt include:

• Megatron
• Thundercracker
• Starscream's legs
• Prophetic dead Decepticon
• Bloodron
• Floron
• Murdron

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

While being chased by Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps, Octane stumbled into the Decepticon Crypt quite by accident. Within the Crypt he attempted to hide from his pursuers, and was met by the disembodied spirit of Starscream. Starscream's Ghost

Notes

• You can actually pin-down more or less precisely when certain markers were added to the crypt, as the window of opportunity for their construction was fairly slim. With Megatron and Thundercracker being included, that would seem to indicate their markers were built sometime during the events of The Transformers: The Movie, after they were thrown out of Astrotrain but before they returned during Starscream's coronation as Galvatron and Scourge and were still considered "dead". Likewise, Starscream's marker had to have been constructed after he was killed during his coronation, but before the Autobots drove the Decepticons from Cybertron by the end of the film.
• The statue of Starscream's legs is a possible reference to the real-life [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Boot Monument|{{#if:||Boot Monument}}]] honoring Benedict Arnold. He was an American Revolution general who, like Starscream, was generally treacherous to his fellow troops prior to defecting but was nonetheless honored by the monument for his service.
