- The "Giant Purple Griffin" is a piece of Decepticon technology in the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Giant Purple Griffin was one of the original Megatron's most awesomely ridiculous creations: a giant flying building shaped like a Griffin. The Giant Purple Griffin had a mane of prehensile tentacles that could be used to grasp at opponents.
The name, "Giant Purple Griffin", is fan-created, as neither Megatron nor any other character ever referred to the device with a proper name, calling it simply "the fortress" or "the griffin". Many fans also refer to it as the Big Blue Griffin, 'cuz, hey, alliteration.
