Locations
35 worlds, cities, ships and structures. From the metal canyons of Cybertron to the wreck of the Ark, from Quintessa to Unicron himself. Every entry carries its full history, the episodes it appears in, and a straight answer on where the name actually comes from.
Worth knowing before you browse
A lot of what fans call “G1 Cybertron geography” is not actually G1. Kaon, Vos, Tarn, Praxus and most of the Rust Sea detail come from Marvel reference books or from novels and games written decades later and retrofitted onto the original continuity. Kaon is never spoken aloud in the cartoon. We say so on each entry rather than presenting later canon as original.
