Transformers Prime did something similar, but did it much better:
According to Megatron, the name "Decepticons" was originally derogatory, given to them by the opposing faction to mock them. They later outright adopted it as a badge of honor, turning a negative into a positive. Granted, it's Megatron, but we have no evidence he was lying here.
Think "teabagger"
It's megatron.
Prime showed that Megatron started as a freedom fighter who got drunk off the power of becoming the new tyrant after he and Optimus overthrew the unjust rulers of Cybertron. It was the whole "I didn't actually want justice, I just wanted a turn to be the dictator" mindset. As such, he maintained that the Decepticons were still the underdogs even as they were terrorizing the innocent. A very liberal motivation for a villain, honestly.
His eventual fate at the end of Prime was really cool too. I'd elaborate, but I can't find any way to spoiler tag here....
