This article is about the team of meddling do-gooders. For the roving band of stone-cold killers, see Mayhem Attack Squad.
- The Mayhem Suppression Squad is a Decepticon subgroup in the Shattered Expectations version of the Shattered Glass portion of the Timelines continuity family. All of the character links are to their Bad Guy-version-selves, because they're the ones that actually have any characterization.

[edit] Trivia
- Each and every single member of the Mayhem Suppression Squad is a Good-Alternate-Universe-Doppelganger of a previous Fun Publications exclusive character. Since they're Bad Guys in all the regular versions of their "real" continuities, they're Good Guys in Shattered Expectations.
- Deathsaurus's color scheme is based on Victory's Star Saber. His pose is also identical to Bludgeon's on the third page of "Tales of Earth Part One" from the Generation 2 comic.
- Bug Bite is basically his normal self, with Good Guy Insignia Color Red replacing his Bad Guy Insignia Color Purple. And an eyepatch. And a mustache. And a British speech pattern. His pose is lifted from Sideswipe's first appearance in Generation 2 #1, "War Without End!".
- Thundercracker is in a Classics Seeker body with his Action Master color scheme.
- Dirge is based on Games of Deception Dirge, wearing a Pretender Shell based on Descent into Evil Dirge. He is colored yellow as an homage to Beast Wars II Thrust, while his Shell's color scheme is inspired by Descent into Evil Chromia. The shell's pose is also a lift from "Tales of Earth Part One", this time from Octopunch. (Yes, he's a quintuple homage.)
- Laserbeak's color scheme is similar to Armada Laserbeak's.
