Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Decepticon High Command appeared exclusively in the UK portion of the Marvel Comics continuity.

After Megatron disappeared on Earth, the War-Lord Trannis took control of the Decepticon army. Trannis conquered most of Cybertron and destroyed Iacon, forcing the Autobots underground. In time Trannis grew complacent and some Decepticons had the opinion that he was insufficiently aggressive. The Decepticon High Command made plans to oust him, but the Wreckers beat them to it when they assassinated him. Cybertron: The Middle Years!

Decepticon High Command decreed that the Transformers Annual 1989 was anti-Decepticon and sent the Firecons to Earth to incinerate every copy. Transformers Annual 1989
