	Nine million years ago, the [[Autobot High Command]] was keeping an eye on a nascent unorganized group of rogues called the Decepticons. However, open war erupted when the Decepticon movement became organized and conducted actions such as shooting down the ''[[Van De Graaff]]''. After saving the [[Matrix of Leadership\|precious cargo]] of the ''Van De Graaff'' from the Decepticons, the crew of the [[Eight Track (G1)\|Eight Track]], including [[Kup (G1)\|Kup]], was inducted into the newly formed [[Elite Guard]] to fight the Decepticons. {{storylink\|Wings of Honor}}		Nine million years ago, the [[Autobot High Command]] was keeping an eye on a nascent unorganized group of rogues called the Decepticons.

	Within 10 years of the war's commencement, the Decepticons were led by the [[Decepticon Warlord]]s.
