Decepticon Justice Division
- The Decepticon Justice Division is a group from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Decepticon Justice Division is a division that handles justice. And by justice, we mean "unmarked graves". Traitors and deserters to the Decepticon cause are targeted by these feared enforcers of Megatron's will. If the rumors are to be believed they always find their quarry and execute them in the messiest fashion possible to make an example of them. Some Decepticons would rather go offline than end up on the squad's hit list for being captured. Their usual killing fields are in the proximity of the planet Messatine, and they pursue targets in their spaceship the Peaceful Tyranny. The group's lineup regularly changes, but its five members always use the same five code-names: those of the the first five cities to fall to the Decepticons. Many members are known to have altmodes which incorporate torture devices.

The late and unlamented Crosscut was often mistaken for a Justice Division man, which he used to his advantage. Crosscut's Squadron X profile
Swerve once saw the Justice Division doing its dirty work. The shock rendered him speechless for six months, which was quite a feat for him. Life After the Big Bang
Unknown to the Decepticons, the Autobots had a mole within the Justice Division who leaked information to them. Usually this information would be the turncoats and traitors that the Division was hunting down, whom the Autobots could protect from justice in return for information. It was this agent that informed Springer and the Wreckers that any attempt to get near Garrus-9 was blown out of the sky with extreme prejudice. Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1 Bullets
In order to insure the safety of the Autobot medical facility of Delphi on the planet Messatine, deep within DJD territory, the facility's chief medical officer Pharma entered into a deal with the Division's leader. In return for their leaving Delphi be, Pharma would provide the leader with a constant supply of fresh transformation cogs from Delphi's dead, in order to feed his addiction to changing shape that caused him to constantly burn through cogs. With the monthly quota of cogs constantly rising, Pharma was forced into drastic action, seeking to escape the deal by shutting down the facility without implicating himself. To this end, he hired Decepticon nobodies Sonic and Boom to pose as Monoformers and seek asylum at Delphi, professing to be on the run from the DJD. Once inside, they detonated a viral soundbomb that infected Delphi with a corrosive plague that would be blamed on DJD chemical warfare. Life After the Big Bang How Ratchet Got His Hands Back
The DJD caught up with Black Shadow and brutally tortured him to death, with Tarn stating the war wasn't over until Megatron personally said it was over. They then targeted an unknown Decepticon on the planet Clemency, saying his fellows had the choice to give him up now and watch him die, or be killed themselves. Rules of Disengagement
