Destrons

In the Japanese continuity, the Destrons are the arch enemies of the Cybertrons. They correspond directly to the North American and European Decepticons.

Cartoon Bio (Japan):

All events of the Decepticons in the US cartoon apply here as well except for the Rebirth series which is not part of Japanese continuity.

Galvatron led in 2010 instead of 2006. In 2011 Galvatron remained leader of the Destrons, but with his new minions the Headmasters (Wipe, Skull, Weirdwolf and Megazarak) his lease on life was only a day at a time. Galvatron had a brush with death when the Destrons blew up Seibertron after being unable to get Seibertonuron, a new super dense metal. Megazarak became temporary leader and during his coronation Galvatron returned and resumed his role as Destron leader. But Galvatron met his untimely demise in that same year in a battle in the arctic where poor old Galvatron was buried under tons of ice never to be heard from again. Megazarak soon took the reins of leadership and was swiftly defeated by Fortress Maximus and his band of Cybertrons.

In 2012 (date not clearly stated) on Earth, a force of Earth Cybertrons comprising Godmasters, Headmasters, and Pretenders combatted a team of Destrons led by Overlord, who was working for the mysterious Devil Z. But later, Black Zarak came from space and took up leadership of the Destrons. He eventually merged with Devil Z, but was defeated by God Jinrai and his Cybertrons.

In 2025, Deathsaurus was the next recorded leader, with his "Space Fortress", a giant space station able to destroy planets. Star Saber, Cybertron leader, defeated Deathsaurus and trapped his Space Fortress in the intergalactic dust. Deathsaurus then attacked Earth many times for Energon so he could get enough power to free his space fortress. Once he did, he planned on destroying Earth. Deathsaurus was badly wounded by Star Saber's sword; nonetheless, he set the fortress on a collision course with the Earth and escaped out the airlock. Victory Saber saved the Earth seconds after.

Violenjiger soon resurrected many deceased Destrons, and led them on a quest to obtain the Cybertron Zodiac. Violenjiger finally got hold of the Zodiac, but was then defeated by Dai Atlas and killed. Dark Nova then resurrected Megatron and rebuilt him into Super Megatron, who terrorized the universe. Super Megatron then was killed by Star Convoy and the Battlestars.

But since then Megastorm and Galvatron have taken up leadership to lead the new generation of Destrons in the Beast Wars!
