- Genericons are a Decepticon sub-faction from the 2005 IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Genericons are Decepticon cannon fodder used on the frontlines, distinguished from regular Decepticon soldiers by a color variance in their faction symbols: they have yet to go through the Rite of the Deceptibrand and get their proper badges. The name is a derogatory term coined by the Autobots[1] but adopted by the Decepticons as well.

Two Genericons named Sonic and Boom were hired by Pharma to infiltrate the Autobot medical facility of Delphi by claiming to be members of the Militant Monoform Movement on the run from the Decepticon Justice Division. Professing they were suffering from pain as a result of a branched spark that proximity to one another would lessen, the pair ensured they were placed in the same cell, where they were able to combine into their alternate mode as a sonic weapon and unleash a blast of weaponized sound formulated by Pharma that caused any Cybertronian who heard it to begin corroding from within. The sonic infection swept the facility, but when Ratchet, Drift, and Pipes arrived to investigate, Pharma freed the Genericons and ordered them to kill them. Unfortunately for Sonic and Boom, First Aid chose this moment to successfully reawaken Fortress Maximus from a years-long coma, and the fighting-mad Autobot proceeded to brutally murder the two Decepticons.
