- The Malcontents are a group of Transformers from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Though the appointment of Optimus and Megatron as co-leaders of Cybertron heralds a new era for the planet, one without conflict, not every Cybertronian agrees with the new political and societal system. Those who oppose the order are appropriately named the Malcontents. As head of the Defense Force, it is Megatron's task to make sure they do not pose a danger to the population, a task he readily latches onto. Because whatever actual menace the Malcontents are, having Cybertron need him to protect it against an identified enemy is a gateway to absolute power.

Four Malcontents had agreed to meet at Tyger Pax, information that made its way to Soundwave and from him to the rest of the Defense Force. Megatron personally led a unit to capture or, preferably, kill them. As by Megatron's wishes, the soldiers sharing his views made sure not one of the Malcontents survived, despite that none of them put up any resistance and instead begged to be spared.
Later that day, Megatron called Optimus to him to inform him of the increasing threat the Malcontents posed. Megatron demanded to be temporarily made sole leader of Cybertron in order to deal with them efficiently. Optimus accepted this change in hierarchy, though with hesitation.
