- Crisis of conscience? Cowardice? Or greed perhaps? There are many reasons a bot could leave their own faction. Lets go through as many as possible, including Sixshot, Drift, Sunstreaker, and many more.
I will put a BONUS VERSION up for my members - with all the bots I couldn't fit in there, including Wasp, the Combaticons, and more - Check out memberships here:

Tarn didn’t burn out his T-Cog on the regular from Nucleon, he’s addicted to transforming. He transforms so much his cog quits working.
It's a combination of the two. Nucleon does attack Tcogs. It's like smoking cigarettes while also running a marathon. Twice the wear.
@@dragon_os5153 Not in IDW, I don’t think.
@@dragon_os5153 hi dude how are you
So basically he likes spanking it too much
Sort of off-topic, but I’m not over it: I’ll never forgive IDW for having ratchet die of- what was basically, yes, ‘old age’. Especially not when there’s canonically bots much older.
I don’t agree with what idw did but not for your explanation. We all know no bot is the same for a variety of reason which includes a range of different things from size, power, abilities and life span it’s not unreasonable to assume some sparks snuff out long before others.
Hell even in real life no one dies at the same age. My grandmother was 75 when she passed due to complications of old age including a battle with dementia, no one’s going to stand here and say that’s an early death yet the proven oldest person to ever live reached the age of 122 and lived alone unassisted for the first 110 years of her life. She lived 161% of the life my grandmother did if we transfer that to the lives of cybertronians who can potentially live millions of years ‘normal’ cybertronians (without special sparks or abilities that extend their life ie Starscreams immortal spark) could live almost twice as long as other near identical bots without being unnatural or strange. To us hundreds of millions of years sounds like a ridiculous amount of time, to a transformers it’s nothing. Best comparison is dog years to the extreme where we’re the dogs
@@elcactusdelamuerte506 hi dude how are you
Rachet let himself die to avoid paying child support.
@@dangerousdays2052 hi dude how are you
Armada Wheeljack, Cyberverse Wildwheel, IDW Gnaw, IDW Nova Prime are a few more I could think of that switched factions.
Nova never switched sides
Nova didn't switch sides
So that's why we haven't gotten a new Octane toy since Titans Return...
So what’s why? I didn’t hear anything about not being able to make a new toy. Can you please elaborate?
When it comes to double agents you forgot Longarm, aka "Shockwave" from animated.
Where's Armada Starscream...
No Megatronus? I mean, deflecting from the original primes and killing some should be enough to be on this list
Yeah this should have been on there
I think this list is moreso Autobots and Decepticons, which the 13 primes aren’t. Yes Megatronus is technically the first decepticon, but he didn’t switch to them, he created them later on
@@blasecascadeanimation4671 but is he not still a decepticon?
@@wx5677 semantics, at the time the Decepticons and Autobots weren’t separate factions, if we’re going by the regard that Megatronus betrayed the primes then they all turned on each other so
Scrumptious Transformers lore.
Autobots becoming Decepticons is far rarer than the opposite and I'd like to see it happen more often.
Six Shots it´s the most important Transformer that switched sides, without him there wouldn´t be an arc of redemption in Transformers
Drift in Cyberverse was a reverse. He started out as an Autobot, but turned into a Deception as a double agent.
no he start as a decepticon, faked wanting to join the autobots and then reviled his true allegiance and tried to steal the allspark
He didn't switch he was just a reverse punch/counterpunch
@@pama1040 hi dude how are you
@@angeliqueramos1816 I'm good
Scavenger from Armada was one that was spying the cons for the bots.
in the dub, apparently he just didn't like how things were on the cons especially after sideways joined so defected.
In Dreamwave comics, Grimlock sided with Megatron, saying he was tired of fighting to protect the humans, who just used them all in the end anyway. He actually gave Optimus a whole speech right on the battlefield before they all tore into each other. Optimus was shocked to see him on Megatrons side.
Damn Slack must have been estatic about this.
There was also Wasp from Transformers Animated. He was accused of being a spy and then later embraced his new identity as a decepticon.
Sad story
you forgot Carnivac, the original Decepticon turncoat from the Marvel UK. Also I want to say the Combaticons should cost, they were locked up in a stockade for some reason.
They did turn traitor in the Wings universe
Lets be honest he had a bad day, lost his team after being sent against Galv and Megs.Also Springer is a charismatic f*cker. Note also that In the future timeline, the Protectorbots did start a new civil war when they backed Magnus over Springer.
@@larrychilders6599 hi dude how are you
@@ar12ketchup7 I'm good
@@larrychilders6599that is great Entrapta but can I ask you something please
That Sunstreaker betrayal was a diabolical piece of work! I think it gets top spot!
If you're going to do a worst toys video, you could do an entire section dedicated to those with gold plastic syndrome
Beast Machines had its problems, but like it or not it was the final chapter of G1.
My local TV stations never showed Beast Wars, but did show Beast Machines, for some reason. So I knew nothing of Beast Wars going into Primal, Cheetor, Rattrap, etc. on Cybertron fighting Megatron and his Vehicons. I thought the show was okay, especially when it started incorporating G1 elements like Vector Sigma as The Oracle, the Key to Vector Sigma, and the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber.
Like it or not. No it's not ... they tried to be original and it was forced and flopped.
But keep pushing your fantasies on others ...
@@UnitronOneIt literally was? It was a direct sequel to Beast Wars and incorporated multiple elements from the original G1 cartoon. Beast Wars and Beast Machines are a part of G1, the same way G2 is. You can dislike it all you want, I do too, but that doesn’t change the facts.
@@magnusprime962 "iT LiTErRaLlY wAS?" ...
You clearly weren't an 80's kid ... cause an 80's Transformers fan laughed and wheeped at the same time seeing Beast Wars!
Blackarcnia and silverbolt from beast wars ?
Silverbolt was a Maximal Protoform who's reprogramming didn't take proper hold. ...oh, wait. Beast Machines is a thing. Forgot for a second.
@@Starcat5its ok you can forget about it
@@Starcat5 hi dude how are you
knockout was very mean to Starscream at at the end… i mean the poor guy just saw an army of terrorcon/predacons and freaking unicorn possessing his old masters body and he just wanted to get of the planet as fast as possible…
and then he’s so worried that he tells knockout to “shut up” and that’s all it takes for knockout to turn on him 😢
The UK marvel comics had Autobot scientist Flame who tried to finish Megatron's plan of constructing engines that could move Cybertron just to prove that it could be done. He also created a signal that turns any dead transformers into his army of zombies.
The UK marvel comics had the Decepticon double agent Triton who would be the last Decepticon alive. He made the Autobots officers argue to the point that one of them were killed but afterwards he was killed in the argument that would escalate into another war. The Autobots too busy fighting to notice that the blast that killed Triton also caused Triton's Decepticon symbol to be revealed.
You managed to forget Carnivac! His defection during the UK comic run was the stuff of legend (and badassery)!
The autobots get a point of suspicion for Framer. I mean why send a autobot medic into a con filled area alone
*Pharma
@@Sacrefiied my bad. But the point still stands
@@oceanthegachaalphadragon3548 True tho.
@@Sacrefiied hi dude how are you
honestly its common, just ask the italians
21:38 - so much so that he switches 4 times in the show: the premiere, an episode where he switches back to the 'Cons so he can steal Megatron's golden disc before switching back, and then his reanimation as Dinobot 2.
_Beast Wars_ also had Silverbolt (conscientious objector) and Black Arachnia (Transmetal 2 poisoning/for love), for the record.
Fun vid. Looking forward to your Starscream vid.
Drift from Cyberverse was seen defwcting from the decepticons in one of Bumblebee's flashbacks, but ends actually a double agent and dying after a fight with Hotrod.
A transformers video and typically I'm late 😂 big ups MR normal u make my shits an hour journey 😂
Say, anyone have an opinion on every time humanity has battled the Autobots? There’s of course single occasions such as when the Decepticons trick humanity in the G1 Cartoon to think the Autobots are actually evil as well as when MECH used Nemesis Prime to pit the military against the Autobots in the Aligned Continuity. Also there are the times when the Joes first encounter the Transformers.
But then there are the more large scale fights. In the Marvel Comics, the government forms an organization called RAAT that assumes there are no factions and that all robots are the enemy. Humanity ironically keeps getting in the way of the Autobots when they’re protecting them until the Decepticons tell RAAT themselves that there are two sides in the war. Then there’s the movies where despite the Autobots and NEST working together for years, the world turns against the Autobots after Chicago. Granted in Age of Extinction, everyone assumes Cemetery Wind is only going after Decepticons due to the Autobots going underground, but the TRF clearly doesn’t give a damn about factions. It takes the threat of Cybertron for the two sides to work together again. Earthspark has GHOST play nice with the Autobots, but actually plan to wipe out all Transformers. Thankfully not every member is on board and some help out the Autobots and Decepticons in the final battle.
And then there is IDW. They give humanity some sympathetic reasons for their distrust such as how the Decepticons actually ran rampant across Earth for some time and Optimus Prime annexing Earth into the Council of Worlds without talking with the planet, but not every reason holds up. There’s Jazz killing a cop which ignores the fact the cop was holding a group of Autobots at gunpoint or that the EDC sides with the Decepticons after they learn Megatron became an Autobot despite the fact it was the Autobots that saved Earth from the Decepticons. Earth eventually joins the Council of Worlds willingly, but we never see the Transformers make any progress in changing the minds of humanity until Soundwave cries for Mainframe’s death in the Unicron arc. It’s like a switch was flipped on Transformer-Earth relations because of Unicron instead of the Transformers winning over humanity. What really annoys me is that in First Strike, humans invade Cybertron to commit genocide. G.I.Joe follows this group to stop them only to be detained by Starscream who thinks all humans are a threat. Marissa Faireborn counters by pointing out not all humans are against Cybertron and Scarlett is frustrated that politics are putting Cybertron at risk, but no one points out the irony of the situation, of how this is pretty much what the Autobots undergo on Earth thanks to the Decepticons. Seriously, missed opportunity to show the similarities between Cybertronians and Humans. Usually Optimus is trying to convince his Autobots that they share traits with Organics, but it feels like he has to do the opposite in the IDW Comics.
LET'S GOOO! NEW EPISODE!!
pretty much Benedict Arnold
grimlock from robots in disguise started out as a con
At 3:46 ok Octain........ Where do I sign up as a camera man
NO NO NO NO NO!
No what
Maybe you should make a video on Decepticons reacting to Megatron becoming an Autobot, imagine some of them being dismayed, furious, disappointed, and not to mention resentful as well!!
Heck I would even say some ‘cons would be questioning his decision to do so!!!
I think Grimlock was originally a Decepticon in Dreamwave War Within
Okay in my opinion, the worst transformer toy to ever be made would be the Star Wars Crossover Millennium Falcon. This is because of the brownish material it was made from was so brittle that if you were to move it at all it would shatter into a million pieces. Thanks for the awesome video! I loved it! My favorite turncoat in the video would probably be Deadlock/Drift. Really cool story.
Damn…Shows the autobots can be just as if not worse than the decepticons
And how there are a surprising amount of decepticons that actuallly have a conscious and doubt that what they’re doing is the right thing or know that there cause has been corrupted to the point of being a shell of what it once was.
Technically Dreadwing from Prime betrayed the Decepticons when he game Optimus the forge then went back to the ship to off Starscream for what happened to Skyquake...when Megatron killed him.
And before anyone says it doesnt count he literally says "betraying my kind isnt the same as joining yours". So he went neutral kinda
Dude would love a video exclusively on the DJD and their worst kills, your videos are so good lol
You should do a video on the most expensive/rare toys... I'd love that
Damned Punch/ Counter Punch
You forgot about Blitzwing, who in the G1 S3 episode where Galvatron found out that there was no Decepticon Matrix, switched sides to save Cybertron
G1 grimlock and the dynobot defected to the decepticons for an episode! Grimlock sludge and slag. Then swoop and sludge had to fight them!
Clouder from Masterforce should be included in this video... and basically along with the most Destron in that series.
There was also Wheeljack from Transformers Armada. Maybe Scavenger and Starscream from that same series; but I'm not sure if Scavenger was a traitor or a double agent kind of situation while Starscream was either betrayed or abandoned by the Decepticons and joined up with the Autobots.
Scavenger was revealed to be Optimus Prime's double agent in the episode "Conspiracy"
@@LiamDyC True but he'd qualify as a traitor from the Decepticon perspective
I was hoping for a video like this
I’ve watched most of every Transformers media, and somehow they don’t have Deadlock(they might have and never noticed) in ANY of them. This my first time hearing about him and he’s a real Decepticon through and through. Imagine if Megatron gave this bot the reigns😂😂😂 he would redefine the term for terror
In RID 2015, it was mentioned that that version of Drift used to be a Decepticon named Deadlock
This one is the backstabber in chief.
The most least forgotten one I believe is inferno during energon one the episodes he turns to a decepticon
Everything you said about why Megatron defected in Earthspark was wrong. He did not defect because of the Terrans--he defected long before the Terrans were born because Optimus Prime (and Dorothy Malto) convinced him somehow.
The time Starscream became warworld with the help of the Matrix in Marvel Generation 2
Impactor was a Hero at the End.
Sunstreaker didn’t redeemed himself. That blunder got millions of autobots killed. The whole Garrus-9 incident; his fault. He just wanted to die out of cowardice.
And believing Starscream? Not a smart decision.
3:15 - The Netherlands mentioned. 🇳🇱
No, we don't live in medieval buildings.
You sure know how to save the best for last
Off topic, but thundercracker no shits given
Where can we find some of these comics? So many stories I've never seen or heard of...I want to get caught up...especially the Sunstreaker story.
Bro Diamond having glasses really made me remember my girlfriend who dumped me
I remember Octane was supposed to be Blitzwing. Blitzwing was the one who originally turn but Hasbro wanted to introduce the new Octane figure so in the series, Blitzwing was replaced by Octane.
Prime Dreadwing, Airachnid, Starscream, Knockout, Hardshell (and all the insecticons), Breakdown, and Optimus... Are all turncoats and traitors in some way or another.
Wait, Transformers has canonical gay marriage? Time to pick up some comics~
Please allow me to elucidate; James Roberts was playing with cack Latin. "Conjunx endura" literally means joined together for a long time (not in a naughty way). I'm still not sure if it's a Combiners joke as James declined to comment at last year's TFN. Interestingly, if you examine the couples in the IDW stories, there's a scpetic/believer; one who remembers everything/one who deliberately forgets; a reckless/sensible; and an introvert/extrovert.
Besides, the Cybertronians are created directly by their god and don't... er... remember the face Optimus pulled in Animated when Sari explained where babies come from? I'll just deliberately overlook IDW Scorponok and The Firstborn, because that was a bit complicated, k?
Always has. Ngl I thought Wheeljack and Ratchet were married in G1
How does pharma end up? Is he killed, marooned, imprisoned? I've seen a bunch of videos where he's talked about but not how his story ends.
I would say transformer 5 the last night is one he forgot but I think it's best we leave that one out
Wheel jack joined the cons in the 2003 series
6:15 I still wonder how cog didn’t die from that
Legends manga is unhinged
No !!! I was late
Thundercracker ❤
0:30 I huh out loud
I clicked on the time stamp and i didn't realize my earbuds weren't still connected, my whole family was in the living room with me 😰
I think grimlock switch sides in the dreamwave comics
what about tailgate? he wanted to be a Decepticon then an Autobot
18:39 no context needed
No cybertron sideways or energon inferno?
Minor Question What Happens to Pacific Rim We Are almost half way through the year and you haven’t made a single Pacific Rim Video
Would nemesis prime from the Netflix series count as a traitor
idk if bot was corn addict
G1 grim lock
…… why is Octane a gooner in G1????
Thundercracker’
15th🎉❤
😑👌
Ih
WTF Octane?! 😂
That's so freaking random and i kinda hate it.
These random cuts with you screaming aren’t as funny as you think.
