One of the universals across pretty much all Transformers continuities has been the use of Faction Symbols to differentiate members of respective factions, and sometimes even sub-factions within armies.

  • Quintesson


  • Ancient Autobot


  • Ancient Decepticon


  • Ancient Autobot/Decepticon

(Dreamwave continuity)

  • Autobot

(In G1 Comic continuity the Autobot symbol was based on the face of the Last Autobot. In the G1 Cartoon it was derived from the Quintesson slave brand) )


  • Decepticon (toy & comic)

(It seems likely the Decepticon symbol was originaly based on the head of Soundwave. This jives with evidence that Megatron was a late adition to the line.)

  • G.I. Joe
