- The Hall of Heroes is a location on Cybertron in the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Decepticon Hall of Heroes<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> is filled with statues of fallen Decepticon leaders. <sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1" title="">[2]</a></sup>
(Psst! Decepticon Heroes = Villains.)
Fiction
The Transformers: The Movie
Starscream was (briefly) inaugurated leader of the Decepticons in the Hall of Heroes. Shortly thereafter, Galvatron (who had just blasted Starscream) was unanimously declared leader by the remaining Decepticons. TFTM
Marvel Comics UK
In the unimaginably distant future of 2008, a chamber in Decepticon Headquarters on Cybertron included the statues from the Hall of Heroes (or possibly replicas,) and Soundwave used this room to brief his troops before an all-out assault. Space Pirates!, Part 3
Figures
The Decepticon Hall of Heroes is dominated by giant golden statues. Ten in total, they act as memorial markers for the tombs of prior Decepticon leaders. The names of the seven figures seen clearly in the finished movie are known.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2" title="">[3]</a></sup>
Positions given are from the outside of the Hall of Heroes looking towards the throne.
Outer statues
Two statues stand on platforms just outside the Hall.
(The outer statues are named for <small>(and by)</small> movie designer Floro Dery.)
Floron<br /> Floron is the outer statue on the right side of the Hall. His left hand ends in an axe, his right hand ends in a blaster.
Floron also guards the entryway to the Decepticon Crypt, but he is on the left there.
Dery<br /> Dery is the outer statue on the left side of the hall. He carries a blaster and wears a jetpack.
In Floro Dery's design drawing, Dery-the-statue has a giant tail, similar to a lobster. This is less visible in the final film.
Left side
Ghoulon<br /> Ghoulon is the outermost figure on the left; he is a hulking figure with seemingly mottled, decaying outer skin.
Murdron<br /> Murdron is the second-outermost figure on the left. He has a lean, whiplike figure and carries a gun in his right hand.
Note: There was debate as to Murdron's correct name, as his label in the production art is very squinty. However, when contacted about it, Floro Dery confirmed the name as "Murdron".
<span id="Bloodron"></span>Bloodron<br /> Bloodron is the second-innermost figure on the left. He has sharp fangs. Though he wears a cape and a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickie" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Dickie">dickie</a>, Bloodron does not have a silly hat.
Devron<br /> Devron is the innermost figure on the left. He has prominent horns and wings, and he wears a loincloth rwar!
Right side
Only the first figure on this side is clearly seen.
Gladiaron<br /> Gladiaron is the outermost figure on the right side. He has a bulky body and a large protective helmet.
Trivia/Errors
- The wide shot of the Hall of heroes accidentally adds an extra set of statues to the inner hall.
- The Marvel UK comics featured a similar place in the audience chamber within Shockwave's stronghold in 2008. By that time, a statue of Megatron had been added to the statues' numbers. The Legacy of Unicron! Part 2
- Later, what appear to be the actual markers for Ghoulon, Bloodron, and Murdron show up in this audience chamber. Space Pirates! Part 3
