Strongest Decepticons....

Well as per the rules of their faction the strongest shall lead. So ....
Megatron
Shockwave
Galvatron
bludgeon
Overlord
Deszaras
violence jiger
gigtron
thunderwing
scoropnok


Now outside of them

Sixshot
trypticon
Straxus

Maybe galvatron II? Since the first was bad enough?

I like your way of thinking! Maybe they are the TF equivalent to omega-class mutants; each with their own unique (world-ending) powers.

I have to believe that each one of them would satisfy Phase Six objectives in their own individualized ways, as power and personality dictate.

Exactly. Of course 2 out of 3 Phase Sixers so far have just been powerhouses, and as far as we know, there aren't any others... but I thought it might be cool if Black Shadow subverted planets through manipulation and sabotage, rather than scorched earth tactics like Sixshot. But who knows?

Here's a question... if Megatron had an override keyword for Sixshot, did he have one for Overlord too? Or was Sixshot just the most powerful of the bunch, so he needed one?

zmog

Unicron

I think the answer is "sort of."

Sixshot was built with actual input from Megatron to be a weapon.

Overlord predates Megatron, or is at least a sometime peer. He has immense power but also a penetrating intellect. Megatron couldn't implement a true failsafe but he had Shockwave infect him with that "Achilles virus" so that if he turned on Megatron, he wouldn't be able to fight effectively.

Black Shadow, who knows, he's just a cool plot hook. However I would think that there's no point at all in infiltrating a phase-six planet. He's got to be a powerhouse.

Megatron/Galvatron
Starscream
Soundwave
Sixshot
Cyclonus
Shockwave
Dreadwing
Terradive
Skorponok
Mindwipe
Devil-Z
Deathsaurus

Unicron is not a Decepticon

Lugnut. If he weren't stupidly loyal to Megatron, he'd frag Megatron with no effort.

Overlord predates megs? Have i been away from the comics that long?

Well, basing it off of the IDW stuff (which I am in love with) Shockwave, Sixshot, Thunderwing, Overlord, Galvatron, and maybe even Blackshadow (I think he was one of the other phase-sixers).
