The List

The List is a very, very bad thing to be on.

Being on The List means that you are an Autobot, Decepticon or former Decepticon who has in one way or another stymied the grand plans of Megatron and thus can expect a visit from the Decepticon Justice Division, during which you will experience an excruciatingly painful death. The only reason you aren't dead yet is because they haven't made it to your name on The List... though the fact that you're on it may only become apparent a few moments after the D.J.D. arrives.

Many rank-and-file Decepticons believe the D.J.D. just makes it up as they go, as they've shown no compunction with killing targets of opportunity (or really anyone who gets in their way) and just what it takes to get on The List in the first place can be incredibly cryptic and stupid to the common 'Con. But while the D.J.D. doesn't mind deviating from its strict linear order, The List does exist, and once you're on it the only way you'll get off without dying horribly is at the whim of the Division or on orders from Megatron himself.

Names on The List

• Starscream — Was on an earlier version of The List for unknown crimes, though it's probably not hard to guess what they were and why he was Listed. He was later removed for reasons unknown. An Axe to Break the Ice
• Black Shadow — Executed by the D.J.D. for accepting a bribe from the Autobots to destroy a fleet of Warworlds. Rules of Disengagement
• Fulcrum — Survived a K-Con bombing mission. Believed dead by the D.J.D. following his apparent suicide on Clemency. Who's Afraid of the DJD?
• Krok, Crankcase, Misfire and Spinister — Aided Fulcrum on Clemency. Left alive in order to pursue Overlord's quantum duplicate.
• Grimlock — Rejoined the Autobots after a short stint as a Decepticon. Losing him angered Megatron personally, and he told the D.J.D. to move him up the List. This sort of thing has only happened twice that we know of. The Ties That Bind
