- The "Giant Purple Griffin" is a piece of Decepticon technology from 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.
Fiction

During an operation in the Middle East, the Decepticons helped local malcontents secretly overthrow the legitimate ruler of an unnamed nation in exchange for oil. As part of this operation, the Decepticons used a Giant Purple Griffin. It was unclear exactly what Megatron planned to do with the Giant Purple Griffin (aside from the obvious "conquest"), as it was destroyed by the Aerialbots before he was able to put it to good use.
