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

Generation 1



  • Unicron


  • Quintesson


  • Ancient Autobot


  • Ancient Decepticon


  • Ancient Autobot/Decepticon

(Dreamwave continuity)


  • War Within Autobot


  • War Within Decepticon


  • 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 addition to the original offerings.)


  • Decepticon (cartoon)

(In the G1 cartoon the usual 3D detailing of the symbol was interpreted as a third spike in the center of the crest)


  • Optimus


  • Malignus


  • EDC


  • Wreckers

G.I. Joe Crossovers

  • Cobra
  • G.I. Joe
  • Decepticon/Cobra


Generation 2

  • Cybertron Federation
  • Autobot (G2)

(The G2 Autobot symbol seems clearly based on Optimus Prime. In the Comic Continuity this change may have occured since the Last Autobot had come and gone.)

  • Decepticon (G2)
  • Cybertronian


Beast Era

  • Arachnoid
  • Maximal
  • BM Maximal
  • Predacon
  • Seacon Space Pirate
