	Though replacements for the Autobot and Decepticon insignia were introduced for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)\|Transformers: Generation 2]]'', with the G2 Autobot symbol being based on the face of [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]], they failed to catch on. When the [[Transformers brand]] was reimagined in the mid-1990s as ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)\|Beast Wars]]'', entirely new insignia were created for the new heroic and villainous factions, the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]], though these were not based on any specific toy or design; rather, they reflected the mammalian and insectoid memberships of these factions. Over the next decade or so, new symbols were designed for [[Blentron\|various]] [[Vehicon (BM)\|new]] [[Mini-Con\|factions]] [[~~Wrecker~~\|and subgroups]], with a wide variety of stylistic influences.

	For the 2007 [[Transformers (film)\|live action ''Transformers'' movie]], the famous Autobot and Decepticon insignia were given a redesign, with the most obvious changes being the eyes — the tops of the Autobot symbol's eyes were slanted slightly down, and the Decepticon symbol's eyes were shrunk and changed from triangles to diamonds. The implementation of these redesigns is inconsistent, as while the redesigned insignia are typically used by movie tie-ins with everything else using the classic designs, "mix ups" of the symbols frequently happen; infamously, [[Bumblebee (Movie)\|Bumblebee]], the breakout character of the movie franchise, wears the classic version of the Autobot insignia on his forehead crest.

	The First Face was, up until the outbreak of the war, considered the closest thing Cybertron had to a universal symbol, held in high regard by the [[High Priests of K'th Kinsere]], the Ignition Cults and the Circuit Sects.

	In the primitive age that followed the departure of Knights, the [[Thirteen]] came to power. One of their number, the bestial [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Onyx Prime]], marked the occasion by commissioning the "First Face" — supposedly based of [[Metrotitan (~~Zone~~)\|Metrotitan]]'s description of [[Primus]]'s likeness, but in reality, one of the many ontological paradoxes he had dedicated himself to invoking. {{storylink\|Origin Myths}} {{storylink\|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named\|The First Who Was Named}}		In the primitive age that followed the departure of Knights, the [[Thirteen]] came to power.

	The First Face was, up until the outbreak of the war, considered the closest thing Cybertron had to a universal symbol, held in high regard by the [[High Priests of K'th Kinsere]], the Ignition Cults and the Circuit Sects. Whenever the Cybertronian race was moved by significant unrest, the face would appear, often designed in subtle ways that historians would use to mark the transition from one epoch to the next. During [[Zeta Prime]]'s rule as Prime, the symbol was co-opted for the nascent Autobot faction. {{storylink\|Omega's Conundrum}}		The First Face was, up until the outbreak of the war, considered the closest thing Cybertron had to a universal symbol, held in high regard by the [[High Priests of K'th Kinsere]], the Ignition Cults and the Circuit Sects.
