Quite simply, before the Bloods and Crips made their journey from the West Coast to New York, there were the Decepticons. If you were older than eight years old and living in New York City in the late 1980s, chances are you know about the Decepticons gang, a smash-and-grab band of thugs who ruled Brooklyn, instilling fear from subway trains to street corners to project hallways.
