History
See also: Moped Army
The Decepticons were formed in 1997 by Simon King, Dan Webber Kastner, and Brennan Sang in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The Decepticons were the first branch of the Moped Army, and the subsequent greater organization of the Moped Army developed from the Kalamazoo branch.
Decepticon membership ebbs and flows, but has had more members founding and joining other branches than any other Moped Army branch. There have been over 130 members through the Decepticons in its 15 year history.
There are former members of the Decepticons now members of Peddy Cash, Mosquito Fleet, Creatures of the Loin, The Guns, Bourbon Bandits, Khz, Puddle Cutters, and the Ghost Riders.
Branch Organization
As of 2013 the D'cons have established a complete, formal charter.
Current captains are Dave Brzezicki and Nick Jobbitt. Required meetings for active members are held the first Wednesday of each month.
Moped BBQ

The Decepticons used to host the Moped BBQ rally, which, for many years, were some of the the largest moped rally in North America.
Hundreds of Moped Army members have descended upon on Kalamazoo to celebrate all that is moped. Races, parties, and long rides have regularly been on the agenda.
