>>8016638>I've never read IDW but I've heard of the DJDs, they sound lameMegatron puts together a team of maximum edgelord psyschopaths, trains them how to hunt and torture people, and sets them loose to go hunt down important targets and defecting Decepticons. They take out important people, and they become a very real "legend" that scares the shit out of people and keeps them in line.
Megatron eventually regrets putting them together because he realizes how bad of a fucking idea it was to get a bunch of roided up teenagers that like to torture small animals and then putting them on your payroll. They cause way more harm than good and he loses complete control of them. Besides killing team moral among the Decepticons because most of them find the DJD to be horrific and awful in every way possible, even mindless killers go "Yeah I kill people for fun, but at least Im not skinning people alive, making people eat their own brains, and burning people alive so I can laugh about it later like the DJD do."
