Predacon (RID)
| The name or term "Predacon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Predacon (disambiguation). |
- The Predacons are a faction of evil Cybertronians from the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
The Predacons are ruthless conquerers from the planet Cybertron, led by Megatron. When they reached Earth they found their old enemy Optimus Prime and his Autobots already there waiting for them. Megatron claims they ravaged many worlds in the past. How they managed this, since they arrived on Earth almost out of power and fairly hopelessly incompetent, is unknown. It is officially recorded [1] that Slapper, Gas Skunk, and Dark Scream's main quality is being good for a laugh.
Eventually Megatron also gained the Decepticon sub-group as troops and a strong rivalry developed between the militaristic Decepticons and the bumbling Predacons.
There is a governing body on Cybertron called the Predacon Council, who seem to have some authority over Megatron.

Megatron claims that he is the ruler of many worlds. Battle Protocol! The Predacon Council later sent Megatron and a team of Predacons to capture the might Autobot base Fortress Maximus. Surprise Attack! Using Transwarp cells Megatron used the Megastar to go get to Earth. But the ship was left farley energy depleted. To find energy to recharge the ship he captured Doctor Kenneth Onishi to tell him were he can find some. During the operation he was stoped by Optimus Prime and the Autobot Brothers. However he got away with Onishi. Battle Protocol!. The Predacons were a laughing stock untill Megatron found a ship with six Autobot stasis pods (which were all sent to find Fortress Maximus 60 years before Megatron). Megatron took them to an army base which he had them scan army vehicles. An thus a new faction called The Decpeticons were born. This had a bad afect on the Predacons as Megatron perfered them over the Preds. This afected Sky-Byte the most. The Decepticons much later The Decepticons betrayed Megatron but Megatron had them put back under there control. This gave the Preds good statis once again. Later when Megatron (now Galvatron) battle Fortress Maximus and they hid. After the final battle betwen Omega Prime and Galvatron, ULtra Magnus and Fortress Maximus took the Predacons and Deceptcions to the Asteroid prison colony

Notes
- According to the first Car Robots toy catalog, the Destrongers are "a rapidly evolved branch of the Destron race of Transformers, who as a whole are scattered across the whole universe and other dimensions". Evolution does not seem to have bred competence.
- The Japanese names of all the Destrongers begin with the letter G.
