A character from the [[Transformers]] science fiction franchise.

[b]Devcon[/b] is an heroic [[Autobot]], a sentient [[alien]] [[robot]] bounty hunter that can transform into a blue long-range attack [[spacecraft]].

In Japan his name was changed to [b]Defcon[/b] (デフコン Defukon), a reference to the term DEFCON, an acronym related to a state of [[military]] alertness in the United States of America. Although unconfirmed, it is thought that, along with the embargo on the word "nuclear", the writers of the Generation 1 cartoon were not allowed to use the actual word in light of heightened Cold War tensions at the time, thus requiring a made-up soundalike word in the original American dub of the series.

Motto: [i]"I cannot allow any [[Decepticon]]s to escape, they must be stopped at all costs...!!!".[/i]
