NEW IACON
The capital city-sate of Cybertron. Planetary Capital during the days when Cybertron was ruled by the Overlords, Iacon was the largest and most powerful state on the planet before the Civil War began. Ruled by a council of elders, headed by a High Chancellor, Iacon was the center of Autobot resistance to the Decepticons until it fell to the warlord Trannis one million years after the Ark crashed on Earth. Rebuilt after the war during the Beastie Era as New Iacon only to fall under attack from the Destructicons. Now is being rebuilt by the Autobots.
POLYHEX
Capital sate of Decepticon ruled Cybertron. Darkmount serves as the high command center of the state once ruled by Lord Straxus. Darkmount is nothing more then a ruined castle fulled with old Decepticon information and traps.
TARN AND VOS
Tarn was a powerful militaristic city-state ruled by Shockwave and was Iacon’s main rival prior to the War. Vos was similar in nature but ruled by a military junta whose figurehead was Starscream. Both cities were destroyed in a brief but vicious war that began with Vosian agents blowing up Tarn’s main power station. This was intended to start an Tarn-Iacon war but the agents were discovered while planting false evidence. The two cities launched proton missiles (Cybertron’s doomsday weapon) and were utterly destroyed. The survivors of Tarn together with their Vosian enemies were forged into the Decepticon army by Tarn’s champion gladiator Megatron.
During the Beastie era the two states were rebuilt only to fall during the invasion. Both contained Maximal populations and now are under reconstruction.
SONIC CANYONS
The Sonic Canyons of southern Cybertron, a dangerous environment, where the deafening sound of underground machinery wells up from below and loudly echoes among the canyon walls, causing a constant deluge of scrap metal to come tumbling down.
BOLTAX TEMPLE
The Underbase, a powerful source of knowledge and power was being sought by Optimus Prime just as the Cybertronian Civil War was starting. The Underbase was owned by a robot named Boltax. This building, which was on fire, and said to be Boltax himself who had converted himself into a giant containment vessel to store the vast energies of the Underbase, supposedly held all of Cybertron's knowledge, and it was heavily guarded including molten mercury mine fields, cable jungles, and collapsing floors. The Underbase was launched into space and lost to Cybertron, but within the Temple there are still some pieces of knowledge and wisdom that remain for those skillful enough to decypher its cryptik writings.
SOLUXITY
An old abandon Autobot Stronghold thought to be destroyed in the Unicron attack....
RENEGADE BASE
The mysterious base that was found when the Renegades escaped the first attacks of the invasion. It is still unknown what it was used for in its early days, a basement was discovered where there laid hundreds of smashed Transformers, which has now been clear up. The base remains hidden to Autobot and Destructicon forces hundreds of feet underground while a fake Renegade base is up top. The base has access to Cybertron's tunnel system.
KAON
Kaon, a southern polar state also know as the badlands of Cybertron. Now used as prison grounds for ex-military forces for its desolite climate.
CRYSTAL CITY
The once beautiful city that Omega Supreme, the famous Guardian robot (Omega Sentinal) guarded until the Constructicons destroyed it. It was rebuilt during the Beast era only to be destroyed during a Destructicon raid a$$isted by Destructicon controled Guardian robots. No reconstruction plans have come forth, it now serves as a black market.
KALIS
Once a great city of Cybertron. Merchants would come from far and wide to sell their wares to the inhabitants of this beautiful city. Then the original Megatron unleashed ne of his most fiendish plots; activating great rocket engines beneath the city itself, designed to propel Cybertron through the stars as a mobile war world.
The resulting explosion and devastation left the city streets a charred remainder of their former self. The outbreak of full scale was prevented any damage control crew to come and see to saving lives or repairing the ma$$ damage and the city was left for dead, and that’s precisely what it became.
The ruined streets are shrouded in perpetual darkness now and rumours fly of unnatural things that walk the city, ghosts of the Cybertronians that once lived there. There was a report by some Autobots who encountered a rebel scientist in Kalis towards the end of the Great War but they were unsubstantiated claims and buried in the Autobot records.
What is left of the vast city still stands to this day, unchanged from millions of years and even the great upgrade. Of all the rumours and claims only one thing is for certain, only the foolishly brave or insane would venture into the city of the dead.

TOXIC SLUGDE SWAMPS
A festering liquid ma$$ of land. That’s how many who have seen the seemingly endless swamp would describe it. The end result of a attempt to drain one of Cybertrons’ smaller oceans for redevelopment during the golden age left the area a mess. Some tried to settle there and there is still evidence of small settlements in the swamp, but sadly no inhabitants have ever been found to this day.
Few Transformers know the swamps well enough to accurately negotiate them and many loose their way to become another victim of the quagmire or its monstrous inhabitants.
The organics within Cybertron have not aided the swamp, vicious looking thorned plants sprout from the waters and line the broads like barbed wire. It is said that beneath the murky green liquid lies the bodies of a million years worth of victims and the only reason you would not instantly sink yourself is because you walk their carca$$es like stepping-stones.

TYREST QUADRANT
Contains the city Jekka and Jekka Amphitheatre. Suffered little damage during the invasion.[/glow]
