Sigil of the Cybertronian Empire

The Cybertronians were a result of Decepticon experiments in Bio-Morphic Reproduction ("budding") ~4 million years ago on Cybertron. The Decepticons were able to rapidly expand their population using this method, but the newly created Transformers felt no attachment to Cybertron as a homeworld and (apparently en-masse) left to conquer other worlds.

In the modern era, the Cybertronian Empire has conquered many worlds, enslaving or exterminating the native population and cyberforming the planets to create 'little Cybertrons.' The Cybertronians consider themselves the "true" Decepticons, judging the Decepticons and Autobots they left behind as "evolutionary throwbacks."

Trivia

• The Cybertronian faction-symbol was also adopted by Bludgeon's Decepticon forces during their period of exile from Cybertron while operating outside of the Milky Way. It's possible the symbol has a common cultural meaning that would cause two disconnected groups of Decepticons expatriates to gravitate towards it. However it's far more likely that the Generation 2 faction symbols were mandated by Hasbro as no current toys used the original Decepticon symbol.
