- Megatron, the Decepticon leader. Killed and thrown into the Laurentian Abyss, he is resurrected as a Cybertronian tank. He was voiced by Hugo Weaving in the first film.
- Starscream, the air commander who flew into space at the end of the previous film. Orci confirmed he will have more dialogue. He transformed into an F-22 Raptor and was voiced by Charlie Adler. Mowry stated Starscream differs from his 1980s incarnation because "His motivations are more for the species. He's definitely at odds with what Prime and Megatron have been doing. He thinks that they’ve both been consumed with greed, for their own selfish reasons, but as he finds out, his plans start to fall through as he’s kind of becoming overwhelmed with the same greed that they had."
- Soundwave, Megatron's most loyal lieutenant. He transforms into a Cybertronian satellite. The concept artists also designed an Earth form of a Chevrolet Silverado for him to upgrade into, which Orci stated was dropped. In the 1980s toyline, Soundwave was a tape deck. The filmmakers had tried to work him into the first film twice, and these roles eventually evolved into Blackout (a MH-53 Pave Low helicopter) and Frenzy (who changed into a CD Player and later into a mobile phone). The latter character was particularly thought to be too different from the original.
- Barricade, a Saleen S281 police car, will return after disappearing in the first film. Jess Harnell voiced him in the first film.
- An Audi R8.
- The Constructicons, several construction vehicles who can combine into a single robot. This single robot was named Devastator in the 1980s toyline, but this name was mistakenly given to Brawl in the first film. The name Bonecrusher, who was one of the Constructicons in the 1980s and Transformers: Energon, was also used for a Decepticon killed in the first film. Orci stated during writing neither character will be resurrected though.
