K-Class
- K-Class Decepticons are suicide bombers from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family
While it has been said that any Autobot who joins the Wreckers is not merely willing to die for his cause, but is actively seeking to bring about his own violent demise ahead of time, any Decepticon who volunteers to be re-engineered into the K-Class has this complex on steroids.
Known as K-Cons and organised into K-Squads, the K-Class are outright kamikaze - re-engineered to transform into bombs with powerful, tightly-integrated, explosive warheads to match, they have a life expectancy measured in nano-kliks once they jump from their launch point and auto-transform into bomb mode, detonating on impact. Consequently, while some K-Class are simply super-enthusiastic Decepticons willing to give their life for the cause, conscription of prisoners into K-Squads is not unheard-of, recruiting prisoners languishing in Decepticon penal colonies such as Styx.
Due to the nature of their combat style, K-Class Decepticons are widely known for their fearlessness, to say the least, and receive a level of respect from most other Decepticons.
Known K-Cons include:
