Let’s face it, the Decepticons had way cooler names than the do goody Autobots. I mean, the name Decepticons is great in itself. So to coincide with the release of Revenge Of The Fallen (which I will see and probably not enjoy just like the first movie), here is my Top 5 list of Transformers baddies’ names. I never watched any Transformers cartoons past the 1986 movie so I only included characters that I actually know.

5. Bonecrusher
- wikipedia entry – Mean name, and a Constructicon to boot. He also gave Optimus a run for his money in the 2007 film albeit in the end, his head got skewered by Prime’s sword(!)
4. Scrourge
- wikipedia entry – Evil sounding name, nuff said.
3. Cyclonus
- wikipedia entry – I love hearing Orson “Unicron” Welles say his name when he was being ‘transformed’ from either Skywarp or Bombshell.
2. Starscream
- wikipedia entry – Love him or hate him, Starscream was a great name and an even more interesting character.
1. Devastator
- wikipedia entry – Most awesome name ever. Practically the only Decepticon the Autobots ran away from. I sure hope he’s meaner than he looks in the new movie. Click here to see what he OUGHT TO really look like in the movies.
