Cybertron Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Cybertron is the Japanese term for the Autobots; in Japan, the planet from which they originate is referred to as Seibertron

In the popular cartoon series "Transformers", including its various reincarnations throughout the 1980s and 1990s (and now into the 21st Century) in Japan and America, Cybertron is the homeworld of the Autobots, primary protagonists of the series, and Decepticons, primary antagonists.

In the comic book storyline (Marvel and more recently Dreamwave) Cybertron was formed when the benevolent deity, Primus, trapped both himself and his immortal foe, Unicron, in planetiods. While Unicron psionically shaped his planetoid into a mechanical world that could transform into a monstrous robot form, Primus instead turned himself into a metal world, which he populated with a race of robotic beings that would become the Transformers.

Meanwhile, in the cartoon continuity, the planet was used by the Quintessons, malevolent beings with five faces, to manufacture commercially-sold robots that would rebel and become the Transformers we know. Noted artifacts of legend on the planet include Vector Sigma, the mega computer that gives Transformers life, and the Plasma Energy Chamber, the forge that the original Quintesson robots were created in, charged with destructive plasma energy.

Cybertron was all but destroyed in the Japanese series Transformers: Headmasters episode 8, after the Predacons plant bombs in Vector Sigma’s chamber in a “Scorched Cybertron” attack.

Outside the Japanese storylines, Cybertron was never destroyed, but it was heavily decimated by Unicron when he appeared in orbit.

The capital of Cybertron is the Iacon Hub City and serves as the base of operations for the Autobots. Other cities are Kaon (the Decepticon capital), Perihex, Antihex, and Uraya.

Cybertron has two moons, names unknown, that in the later days of the great war served as bases for the Autobots during the planetwide Decepticon occupation. These moons were consumed by Unicron in the Earth Year 2005. The destruction of Unicron at the hands of Rodimus Prime weilding the Autobot Matrix of Leadership gave Cybertron a new satellite: Unicron's head.

Cybertron itself is the size of Saturn by some sources, though by other sources it is a planetoid smaller than Earth. It has a labyrinthine series of tunnels and caverns inside. Cybertronian gravity is roughly the same as Earth. The moons orbiting the planet however are much denser, lending to a gravity equal to that of Cybertron.

Some Major Events in Cybertronian History

• Golden Age of Cybertron; Guardian Robots police the peace, Energon is abundant.
• The creation of Megatron (the first Transformer with robot-mode flight capablities) begins the war anew.
• Four million years ago, the severe energy depletion the war causes forces the Autobots to voyage in search of new planets with new energy sources.
• 1984 - Cybertron is transported into the Milky Way galaxy by the Decepticons' space bridge
• At some point prior to 2005, the Decepticon achieve total domination of the planet. The Autobots are forced off it.
• In 2005, the arrival and subsequent defeat of Unicron allows the Autobots to reclaim the planet.

• Megatron establishes the politically dissident faction, the Decepticons, who invent transformation technology and wage war on the Autobots, who fight back by copying the tech
• The ferocity of the war knocks Cybertron is knocked out of its orbit.
• Cybertron drifts into the path of an asteroid belt - the Autobots pilot their craft, the Ark, out to blast a safe path through
• 1991 - Unicron attacks Cybertron
• In the wake of Unicron's destruction, the planet appears to be disintegrating, but in fact reshapes and renews itself.

• Megatron returns with an army of 'air warrior' clones, courtesy of the Quintessons, bringing about an age of internment.
• Four million years ago, the Autobots search for new planets in hopes of renewing Cybertron's depleted energy resources
• Planetwide stasis lock, known as "The Great Shutdown"
• Shockwave revives, experiments on Transformers, brings Cybertron back online and plans to invade Earth
