- The Decepticon Crypt is a location on Cybertron in the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Decepticon Crypt is located beneath the surface of Cybertron. It is the place where the Decepticons either lay the remains of their dead to rest, or simply honor their fallen comrades with markers bearing their likeness.
Fiction
Animated continuity
While being chased by Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps, Octane stumbled into the Decepticon Crypt quite by accident. Within the Crypt he attempted to hide from his pursuers and was met by the disembodied spirit of Starscream.
Markers within the Crypt
A large statue of Megatron hovers over the entrance to the Crypt. Megatron's statue was either built before the arrival of Galvatron at Starscream's coronation or indicates that the Decepticons view those who have been reformatted as "dead".
Thundercracker's marker can be seen prominantly in the Crypt.
Starscream's marker is represented by only a pair of legs, oddly. It is possible that construction of his marker was halted when Unicron attacked Cybertron shortly after his death and never completed due to the Decepticons being driven from the planet.
Enscribed upon Bloodron's marker is a terrible prophecy: "Death comes to anyone who hides behind my marker". Jerk.
