Actually it's not stupid... it's probably THE most obvious thing about TF's since 1984! Maybe you all were being sarcastic, I don't know. | |

#15 | | Lone wolf Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 130 | The root word for Decepticons is "deception" because:
- its obvious;
- it means: "designed to deceive or mislead either deliberately or inadvertently";
- the concept that Autobots transform as a means of camouflage while the Decepticons transform as a mean of deception so to stab enemies in the back is just awesome. | |

And (to state the obvious) before the '07 movie's deeper explanation, Autobots were called Autobots because they turned into autos.
I like Deceptive Converters. Another possibility could be Deceptive Robotic Commandos, suggesting the military origin of the Decepticons. | |
