- The Corvicons are a Decepticon subgroup from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Corvicons, also known as crow Decepticons or Crowcons, are compulsive thieves and hoarders, utterly single-minded in their pursuit of treasure, though this treasure can be anything from a super-valuable crystalline containment vessel to a discarded foil gum wrapper. The important thing is that it be shiny—the glitterier the better. Equipped with sharp talons and screechy, squawking voices, they are highly maneuverable in flight, and specalize in making swooping attacks to rake their enemies with their claws.
The criminal Filch is a Corvicon.
Fiction
2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon
Filch was released in the wreck of the Autobot prison ship Alchemor and began to collect shiny objects from around the Crown City area to build a nest in a statue, downing power lines, interfering with traffic and generally being a nuisance. Denny Clay also ended up in her clutches, but Sideswipe and the Autobots were able to rescue him and return Filch to stasis. Collect 'Em All
2015 Robots in Disguise books

Notes
- Corvids are, taxonomically speaking, the crows and their relatives; Corvicons' shiny-craving, thieving behavior is specifically associated with magpies, and their "swooping" attack pattern is reminicient of the Australian variety of same.
- Corvicons are called by different names at different times in the show. Filch is referred to as a Corvicon, but Boostwing and his brothers are "crow Decepticons" to the Autobots, while Russell Clay calls them "Crowcons".
