Help Wanted

Ok, I'm doing a little fan fic but am a tad out of touch/forgetful at the moment...simple question to the house:

Who were the original G1 Decepticons that came to Earth as a result of the Ark's forced crash?

So far I've got:

Megs
Soundwave & the cassettes
The Seekers

Were there any others?

Reflector, if memory serves, was also in the original grouping.

And there were HOW many Autobots in comparison?? Not exactly what I'd class as a fair fight but then 'cons never fight fair. Nice to know I'd got them pretty much all covered. *Breathes a sigh of relief*

Thx U 2!

Not enough. Those pansies couldn't not defeat the Decepticons, even if they outnumber them at least 3 to 1....

It always got me that the Autobots always outnumbered the Decepticons (toy wise at least), but could never win the war. Those Decepticons are crafty little suckers.

Hmmm, by my calculations it was 18 autobots Vs 10 Deceps...

You gotta give the 'bots their due for a valiant effort though even if they did get their mechanised behinds kicked to the dark side of Cybertron 9/10 times...*Grinz*

He speaks the truth. 11 cars (Ironhide, Jazz, Prowl, Bluestreak, Mirage, Hound, Ratchet, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, Trailbreaker), 6 minis (Brawn, Windcharger, Bumblebee, Gears, Huffer, Cliffjumper), and Optimus Prime.

No I don't! With certain execeptions, the autobots were imperialistic, goody-two-shoes morons.

The decepticons normally got help from some radom jets the animators would add in. I remember one scene where ther is 5 jets for example.

It's worth knowing that despite an 18 [possibly 19 - Red] to 10 advantage, and the help of Peter Parker, the Autobots had their backsides handed to them, and needed a late save from Sparkplug Witwicky, which was sadly undone by the staggering entrance of The Greatest Decepticon Leader Ever.

Incidentally, I was intending to crack a joke with regards to the 'bots getting their behinds bashed

I just came upon the "Autobots are imperialistic" post. Amusing.
