Arising from the ashes of the Great War, the Predacons are, at least in part, descendants of the Decepticons. Some sources suggest that they were born from what remained of the original five Predacons.[1] By order of the Pax Cybertronia, they exist as something of an underclass, appearing to be equals, but firmly under the Maximals in the social order. This has led many Predacons to hold bitter grudges against the Maximals.
Predacons tend to take reptilian, amphibian or invertebrate (either mollusk or arthropod) beast modes, although this is not a hard-and-fast rule, as some choose to become mammals and, especially in the case of Megatron, dinosaurs. They can also turn into sea creatures, mythic creatures and military vehicles.
There's no appereances of minibots on the serie, but there are things than says than the minibots exists, making they same role than in G1 Tranformers and other series.
The adjective for "of or pertaining to the Predacons" is Predaconial,[2] though it is extremely common to simply substitute 'Predacon'.
