Predacon (Transformers)

Predacons are a subspecies of savage animalistic Cybertronians from the planet Cybertron.

Biology
While also being a subgroup of Decepticons, Predacons consider themselves a species unto themselves.

Anatomy
Predacons share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, except they transform into savage robotic animals.

Powers and abilities
Predacons share many of the same abilities as other Cybertronians.

Select Predacons can combine to form a combiner known as Predaking.

Weaknesses
Unlike other Cybertronians, Predacons possess lower intelligence and high psychological problems as a side-effect of their creation.

Culture and society
Compared to the Terrorcons, Predacons have a better sense of loyalty. Though they are often found working for the Decepticons, they are actually commanded by the Quintessons.

History
The Predacons are generally creations of the Quintessons, sometimes through cooperation with the Decepticons. Regardless, they would not achieve the same intelligence as other Cybertronians. This error was caused either by being created without the aid of Vector Sigma.
