Vehicons

Vehicons (ビーコン, Bīkon) may be the cannon fodder of the Decepticons' army, the counterparts of the Autobots' Autotroopers and suffer from particularly poor marksmanship, but they do possess sweet alternate modes, be they sports cars, jets (a Seeker variant), helicopters, or tanks.

If they're not scrapped by an Autobot, they can be used for experimentation or even simply recycled for parts by a superior, but that's their lot in life, and by and large, they accept this. Their primary motivation is the thought that someday they might make a name for themselves —literally— and rise to the upper ranks. Thus they have a tendency to follow orders blindly, and are highly expendable.

They are also called Eradicons. It's a bit confusing.
