• War for Cybertron

The War for Cybertron Trilogy toyline uses a series of military insignia to denote each Autobot and Decepticon characters' position within their armies; while each faction has unique designs for their insignia, they follow a common system.

Each insignia consists of three parts: the division (ground, air, sea, or space); the unit (infantry, recon/intelligence/espionage, medical, engineering/applied sciences, special ops/black ops, artillery/weapons, or transport); and the rank (private/raider, sergeant, specialist, captain, major, or general).

A hierarchy of the Autobot and Decepticon militaries, alongside out-of-universe development history, can be found here.

Notes

• A significant portion of War for Cybertron Trilogy toys did not receive a military insignia. More information can be found on the main page.
• An early version of the Decepticon insignia placed the division symbol within the center of the insignia and the unit around the outside top, similar to the Autobot insignia. A development image from Hasbro Pulse shows a Decepticon medical unit symbol under this framework, seen to the right.
