Idk if u have time or care but may u explain to me about all of them?

Thier are a total of three predacons factions one being a conbiner the other being the guys who fight the maximals

[@nethmedi]

13... hahaha, mrnormalperson did three vids covering all the factions

[@Brickerbrack]

5:00 Wow, you got _all_ the Predacons confused. There are three different "kinds" of Predacons. The originals in G1 weren't a faction, but a team of Decepticons who combined into the gestalt Predaking. In the same timeline, hundreds of years later, we got the Predacons from Beast Wars, led by Megatron (named after the _other_ Megatron. Then the prehistoric beasts were from another timeline altogether, and while they _were_ led by Predaking, this one wasn't a combiner at all (the only known combiner from these Predacons formed Abominus, an homage to the G1 Terrorcons). 6:10 The Dinobots are a team of Autobots. And the story of Wheeljack creating them _only_ applies to the G1 cartoon; in every other iteration, they've been native Cybetronians like any other, who gained their dinosaur forms later (the specifics vary by timeline). And the story of the Beast is largely considered not to be canon; it was essentially a fancomic that got included with a DVD release, but never actually got _approved_ by anyone. The Dinobots did, however, later gain a _proper,_ less tortured, combiner form, called Volcanicus. 10:00 Again, the Constructicons, in all their forms, are a team of Decepticons rather than a distinct faction. 11:30 Glad you acknowledge the different timelines here, but then you get them confused again; in G1, they're a Decepticon combiner team that turn into mythical beasts. In Prime, they're Dark Energon zombies who have the same forms they had when alive. And when you give us the G1 Terrorcon roll call... where the heck did Cindersaur come from?! He's a flame-breathing Firecon, not a Terrorcon. And indeed the live action Terrorcons are completely unrelated to any other group by the same name. 12:45 "Combiners" is not a faction, it's an ability. 13:50 You nailed the Vehicons from Prime (though again, more a _type of Decepticon_ than an actual _faction),_ though there was a previous faction ruled by Megatron in the Beast Machines era. These Vehicons largely _were_ actual drones, remotely controlled by Megatron himself, though he later created a handful of sentient generals for more tactical flexibility; these were created by rehousing the sparks of "dead" Maximals and Predacons in new bodies and reprogramming their personalities to Megatron's liking.

[@scottm5616]

Rc is technically an OG they were in the OG transformers movie (animated version)

[@GreatChicken2]

- The combiners are not a faction in themselves. - The minicons are indeed their own faction, based on the Micromasters from the G1 continuity. - The omnicons from Energon are their own faction. They are like Jihaxus's group, breakaway, but they are less malevolent: a group of Autobots and Decepticons who left Cybertron in the midst of its civil war due to being sick of fighting, threw down trheir arms in commonality and went straight to mining. Like the Minicons they're very desired because they're very knowledgable in Energon conversion/extraction, so much so that we see a Signal Flare generate an Energon Crystal with pure solar energy. - In Cybertron / Galaxy Force, there are offshoots of Cybertronian civilization that are completely separate from Autobots and Decepticons and never knew of Cybertron until Prime and co visited them - on Velocitron the Planet of Speed, Gigantron the planet of giant non-gestalts, and the Jungle Planet that had something akin to the Predacons/Maximals except not quite. There were even ones on Earth who made a living as supernatural hunters and worked against the Decepticons separately. - The Quintessons are their own faction and you know it. Guilty or Innocent the result is always the same, and just because we never see them judge a Decepticon doesn't mean they won't.

[@Psyker_Unredactus]

The Minicons in Armada were pretty amazing. They were basically pure power and gave significant boosts to already powerful weapons, or created entirely new weapons. Some even had Combiner traits, like the Star Saber and the kids' Bot Trio. Armada also did the best representation of Starscream. His growth in the series is one of the best character stories ive ever seen.

But what about a group of unique transformers that have the ability to transform into anything. Heck, they can even combine into giant spaceships. However, they have a drawback either way their abilities because the more they transform, the more they struggle having their identity or something.

[@CommanderBohn]

No. Decepticons are not fascist. They simply think that conquest is good for Cybertron. Also they started out as saturday morning cartoon villains only to change with time into bots with honest to good intention of changing Cyberton for the better only to become something worse. Also Predacons are not what you described. The real Predacons were a combiner team of hunter-oriented Decepticons who could combine into Predaking. Due to their personalities aligning with each other, not only Predaking was the top most powerful combiner in the franchise, he was also one of the most mentally stable ones. Later Razorclaw, the leader of the Predacons, would re-use the name of his old team and create the Predacon faction that exists in the Beast Era. And no. Combiners are not a faction. They are a type of transformer. And also no. The Prime Vehicons are just an alternative version of the original Vehicons that appeared in that horrible Beast Wars sequel Beast Machines. Those were simple forcefully altered Cybertronians who had their sparks removed and turned into sparkless drones. And, and, please use actual footage when describing a faction. You used Beast Wars Maximal and Predacon shorts instead of actual comic book Mutant pics where they originated from. Yeah, I'm nitpicking hard. No, I will stay true to myself.
