	The '''second-in-command''' refers to a [[Transformer]] whose status is... well, second to the commander's. The specific title of the rank generally varies between factions, typically referring to a subcommander or a lieutenant.

For the [[Decepticon]]s and [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]]s, choosing a Second-in-Command is a tough decision; pick one too loyal, and everyone will ignore ~~him~~, pick one too bold, and the leader may find himself [[Scrap (slang)\|scrap]].

	The '''second-in-command''' refers to a [[Transformer]] whose status is... well, second to the commander's. The specific title of the rank generally varies between factions, ~~usually~~ a subcommander or a lieutenant. For the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Maximal]]s, the rank is overlooked, but it still receives [[Sub-Commander's Day\|its own holiday]]. For the [[Decepticon]]s and [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]]s, choosing a Second-in-Command is a tough decision; pick one too loyal, and everyone will ignore him, pick one too bold, and the leader may find himself [[Scrap (slang)\|scrap]].
