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.


Generation 1

  • Unicron
  • Quintesson
  • Ancient Autobot
  • Ancient Decepticon
  • Ancient Autobot/Decepticon(Dreamwave)
  • 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 adition to the line.)

  • 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

  • Seibertron 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

  • Arachnoid
  • Maximal
  • BM Maximal
