(Psst! Decepticon Heroes = Villains.)
The Decepticon Hall of Heroes is dominated by giant golden statues. Ten in total, they act as memorial markers for the tombs of prior Decepticon leaders.
The statues are of:[3]
Fiction
[edit]The Transformers cartoon
[edit]Starscream was (briefly) inaugurated leader of the Decepticons in the Hall of Heroes. Shortly thereafter, Galvatron (who had just blasted Starscream) was unanimously declared leader by the remaining Decepticons. The Transformers: The Movie
Notes
[edit]
- The wide shot of the Hall of Heroes (accidentally, going by the concept art) adds an extra statue between Ghoulon and Dery.
- "The Legacy of Unicron!" featured a similar place in the audience chamber within Shockwave's stronghold in 2008. By that time, a statue of Megatron had been added to the statues' numbers.
- Later, what appear to be the actual markers for Ghoulon, Bloodron, and Murdron show up in this audience chamber in "Space Pirates!"
- In early drafts of the movie script, an additional layer of meaning is given to the Hall of Heroes: it is where the Decepticons actually enshrine the disembodied Life Sparks of their deceased leaders, in transparent urns within the pedestals at the base of the hall's statues. Though this idea didn't make it through into the plot of the finished film, the visuals of the Hall of Heroes do retain a hint of the original intent—visible within the base of each statue is a small, flickering purple flame. In an early script draft, during a brawl for leadership, the other Decepticons accidentally destroy some of the statues, releasing the Life Sparks. The Sparks—and Megatron's own Life Spark, are found by Ingestor (the early script's version of Unicron) and used to create Galvatron and his minions.
