The Decepticons, or Decepts, were a Brooklyn street gang active from the mid-1980s into the early 1990s. Originating as a bond of "brotherhood" and naming themselves after the main antagonists of the Transformers franchise, the gang soon escalated into one of the most notable gangs of their era, noted for their flash-mob style attacks and muggings.
