No, Tron is just evil. In and of itsrlf. Anyone who watche sit deserves a mercy execution.

And they don't all end in Tron.

The almost complete list of Decepticon leaders...

Present time...

Megatron
Shockwave
Lord Straxus (cybertron leader)
Scorponok
Ratbat (yes. Ratbat. One of Soundwave's tapes. Don't laugh, it was an American comic writers idea...)
Thunderwing (big Mega Pretender bloke)

Generation 2:

Tank Megatron
Lord Jiaxus (I think, not sure on this one)

And future timeline from 2005 onwards...
Megatron
Galvatron
Shockwave
Soundwave (yay!)

You forgot Bludgeon. And didn't Death's Head make Cyclonus and Scourge leaders in the future timeline?

BTW, the correct spelling is Jhiaxus. Anyone who guesses where that name comes from gets a prize.

I know, so I can't say. It has got something to do with the G2 comic only running for 12 issues.

Yeah, Cyc & Scourge were future leaders for a while. A short while.

Well, when I think of the TFs I just use the cartoons as my sources. To me the comics kinda went into a non-canonical direction after #24 (US). Everything after that makes no sense with the cartoons. They contradict each other.

Anyone remember how they felt the day after Rich Mullins died?

That's correct. The comics and cartoon follow their own separate chronologies. They're both canon by themselves.

I know it's a stupid question but.....
what does "canon" mean?

"Execute"

It's just a fancy term for something that officially happened. Take Star Trek for example. Canon is the TV Shows and the movies (some people exclude V and VI). Non-canon is all the books out.

Same thing with Transformers, except each medium has its own canon/non-canon stuff. Things in the cartoon didn't necessarily happen in the comics, although there are some parallels.

Garak: Interesting. You saved the day by destroying the world.
Bashir: I bet they didn't teach you that in the Obsidian Order.

-Deep Space Nine, "Our Man Bashir."

Frank, m'man, you know two sources that oppose each other can't both be canon!

Yes they are. The cartoon and comic have nothing to do with each other, except they use similar characters.

But Frank; the cartoon was strickly watched over by Hasbro. They left the comics go off on their own.

IT's just the cartoons were the more watched over thing; they were what Hasbro really wanted!

I doubt it, and why would it matter?

And the comics (the Simon Furman-written comics) were SOOO much cooler anyway. People died, people were reborn, Wheelie only ever appeared in ONE story ever, Ultra Magnus wasn't a big suck looser, Rodimus Prime didn't spend all his time going 'I'm crap, I'm crap, I'm not as good as Optimus' and when Galvatron went insane, rather than just ineffectually beating up his own troops, he tried to exterminate the entire Transformer race, and came pretty close to succeeding.

So Nyah.

It must be said though, that Rodimus Prime wasn't a patch on Optimus. Maybe if he'd been taller, or had a cool block over his mouth that wiggled hyptonically when he talked....

An unborn scream burst in my stomach,
and spread like cold mercury through my chest.
I covered my face with my hands, but kept looking through my fingers.
"Write that down!", he told the stick.
"Is visibly destroyed, yet unable to turn away".
