'''Altihex''' borders [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], [[Kalis]], the [[Neutral Territories]], the [[Rust Sea]], the [[Tagan Heights]] and [[Uraya]]. It is a candidate for the city-states the [[Tri-Torus Loop]] leads to and home to most of Cybertron's deep-space research facilities.<ref>[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]</ref>

Bad things happen in Altihex.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
====Dreamwave ''Generation One'' comics====
[[Dreamwave timeline|8.2 million years ago]], not long after the death of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], the Decepticons launched an attack on Altihex. The Autobots fought back as well as they could while doing everything to get the [[Neutral|civilians]] evacuated. They suffered [[Overhaul (G1)|big losses]] during the battle, which was prolonged by a last group of about twenty civilians who refused to leave. They had hijacked one of the towers in Altihex to demonstrate against the war and convince both factions that they were all part of one race. In other words, they were sitting [[dynametal duck]]s for the Decepticon [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. The building was destroyed well before the Autobots could do anything to rescue the civilians, which on the other hand made their decision to retreat when it was reported that Decepticon reinforcements were approaching all the easier.

As Altihex was razed behind the fleeing Autobot forces, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] decided that [[Optimus Prime (G1)|whoever]] would succeed Sentinel Prime had to be willing and capable of turning the Autobot forces into an army that would do more than react, defend and retreat. That, or he had to take matters [[Helix Gardens|into his own hands]] to prevent all of Cybertron ending up like Altihex. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}}

{{note|In "[[Conflagration]]", the area of the battle against [[The Fallen]] and the [[Chaos Trinity]] is said to be Altihex by [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]. A few pages earlier, a narrative box indicated it to be [[Protihex]]. The following paragraph may thus describe events that have not taken place in Altihex.<br><br>Some two million years later during the [[Dark Ages]], the Decepticons under command of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] tracked the Chaos Trinity to Altihex and declared them under arrest for endangering the entire planet. Aided by the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]] and the [[Autobot]]s, the Decepticons defeated the Chaos Trinity. The temporary alliance followed the access shaft the Chaos Trinity had been guarding to a gate protecting the [[Well of All Sparks]]. On the other side, the captives of The Fallen had already taken measures to stop him. When the alliance finally got in, the threat had been dealt with and it was decided to seal up the gate again, this time with a lock for each faction so that whatever was in that room could not be misused by any of them. {{storylink|Conflagration}}}}

====''Classics''====
*'''Locations'''
**An underground energon refinery

Altihex possessed an energon processing plant which was mostly located belowground. Only one level, housing the administrative offices, was aboveground. Because of this setup, the refinery became lost during the war for several centuries, until it was rediscovered by the [[Mini-Con]]s trying to rebuild the planet for the return of the [[Autobot]]s. Soon after, the Mini-Con leader [[Modus Prime]] led an expedition to the energon processing plant. Comprising the expedition were the technical specialists of the [[Heavy Hauler Team]] and [[Urban Renewal Team]] and security chief [[Broadside (Classics)|Broadside]], with the [[Clear Skies Team]] keeping recon overhead. The goal of the expedition was to investigate if the refinery could be made functional again and if so, inventorize what had to be done to achieve that.

However, Broadside, [[Sledge (Classics)|Sledge]] and [[Wideload (Classics)|Wideload]] had other plans for Cybertron than most of their peers. To realize those plans, they had agreed to murder the others of the expedition and blame it on the Autobots. Only a few minutes had gone by of the Mini-Cons exploring the lower levels of the refinery and Modus Prime occasionally insta-repairing equipment, when the trio made their move, after which they blew up the plant to hide the evidence.

The Clear Skies Team immediately moved in to extinguish the flames and look for survivors as Mini-Cons in the vicinity swarmed to the disaster site. Broadside came out of the burning building first, carrying the corpse of Modus Prime. With the [[Night Rescue Team]] assisting the Clear Skies Team, both Sledge and Wideload were also "saved" from the inferno. The two Mini-Cons dragged a fake corpse decorated with an Autobot [[insignia]] with them, claiming the expedition had been ambushed. Broadside called for revenge, but changed his tune to promote caution when [[Strongarm (Classics)|another Mini-Con]] suggested that perhaps the Autobot had been driven mad by radiation or biomechanical parasites. Claiming they had to prevent themselves from getting infected, Broadside had the corpse taken out of anyone's reach before it could be further investigated. The Mini-Con crowd dispersed with mixed feelings shortly after. {{storylink|The New World}}

===''Cybertron''===
[[Armorhide (Cybertron)|Armorhide]] was a stand-up comedian who performed at the great hall in Altihex. A Decepticon raid destroyed his city while he was on tour, and he joined the Autobots to exact revenge. {{storylink|Cyber Key Codes|Armorhide's Cyber Key Code text}}

===Live-action film series===
If the [[Risk|''Transformers'' RISK]] game is to be taken at face value, Altihex exists and is surrounded by the area where the [[Smelting pool]] is located, [[Kolkular]], [[Kaon]] and has passage that leads to [[Moon Alpha Spaceport]]. {{storylink|Risk}}

===Shattered Glass===
Altihex was presumably the location of the [[Altihex Protoform Rehabilitation Complex]]. {{storylink|Blitzwing Bop}}

===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===
[[Image:WFCcomicConterrorism.jpg|thumb|]]
*'''Locations'''
**Altihex Casino

[[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] was at Altihex Casino, attending a performance by comedian [[Armorhide (WFC)|Armorhide]], when [[Decepticon]]s launched a bomb attack. Sentinel was taken to the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] by his bodyguard [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], whom he said would escort him to safety. He lied. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus}}
