An '''Energon Harvester''' was used by the Ancients to harvest [[energon]]. As energon flows in the bodies of all [[Transformer]]s, the Harvester can be a deadly weapon in [[Decepticon]] hands.

==Fiction==
===''Prime'' cartoon===
When the Autobots detected an energon vein in [[Greece]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] went to investigate. There they spotted a painting of a god wielding the Energon Harvester and figured one must be on Earth. Bulkhead encountered [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] at the construction site, which meant the Decepticons also knew about the Harvester. After some online searching, [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] found an identical orb in a museum, which [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] confirmed to be genuine.

[[Image:Soundwaveandenergonharvester.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Now I claim your sun!"]]

[[Team Prime]] surrounded the museum, while [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] [[GroundBridge|GroundBridge]]d the children into the museum to steal the Harvester. But [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and Breakdown attacked the Autobots, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] snatched the Harvester from the kids, and Miko was arrested. Bulkhead deduced [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] would return to Greece to harvest the untapped energon source. Starscream had already demonstrated its power by absorbing the life from a [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]] and was harvesting the energon when Bulkhead arrived. The Decepticon attempted to use it to kill Bulkhead, but he grabbed onto it, causing it to overload. Bulkhead threw the Harvester into the air, where it safely exploded.

Later, [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] gave a replica of the Harvester (made by Ratchet) to the museum and got Miko out of trouble with the [[Museum security guard|security guard]]. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

==Notes==
*In ''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron'', the Energon Harvester is a shotgun-like weapon that siphons energon from targets and utilizes that energon to repair its user.

:''Metroplex is an [[Autobot]] [[city-bot]] from the [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:MetroplexFOC.png|thumb|right|300px|Bite my colossal metal ass!]]
'''Metroplex''' is a gigantic [[Autobot]] whose [[alternate mode|alt-mode]] is a city. In other words, don't piss him off.

== Games ==
=== ''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron'' ===
{{voiceactor|[[Fred Tatasciore]]}}
Metroplex had been lying dormant in what would become Autobot City for thousands of years, and inadvertedly became a part of the battlefield when [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] attacked the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]. After pulling a switch or two, Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] observed the interior of Metroplex constantly shifting and transforming to accomadate him. After using a turret to help fight the Decepticons, Optimus found himself herded to a mysterious bright light by the shifting interior. Sensing a Cybertronian prescence, Optimus desperately ordered the entity to help the Autobots in their time of need. After a final switch, an entire city began to transform into an immense, powerful Autobot - Metroplex, who had heeded the call of the [[Prime (rank)|Last Prime]].

Metroplex's prescence on the battlefield proved invaluable to the struggling Autobots. The titan easily wiped out much of the Decepticon army, including the deadliest of foes such as tanks. Metroplex would launch a devastating air strike on whatever target Optimus marked for destruction, and the colossus was able to wipe out Megatron's equally massive guns that were giving the Autobots a hard time. However, just as he was to destroy the last of the towers, it shot Metroplex point blank in the chest, felling the mighty giant. Fearing for the worst, Optimus pushed on, but was captured by the Decepticons, and brought to Megatron, who mocked and berated the helpless Autobot leader.

However, the villain [[Dark Designs|gloated too much]], and Metroplex revealed his survival by ominously approaching from the back of Megatron's base. After breaching - alright we'll be honest, crushing - the walls of the base, the Decepticons were quick to back away from the huge threat, but Megatron ordered them to stand their ground. It was at this point that Metroplex had enough of the tyrant, and crushed him several times with his enormous fist, killing Megatron to the shock of the Decepticons, who were soon led in a retreat by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. Unfortunately, the Energon used to fuel Metroplex and the Autobots' defense of Autobot City drained their supply, preventing the Ark from being launched. Still, Optimus was glad to have an ally like Metroplex on their side.

Days later, after the Autobots located another source of Energon - only for it to be halved thanks to the Decepticons - Metroplex offered to sacrifice his life, donating the Energon inside him to give the Ark enough juice to launch. Optimus protested, but Metroplex had made his choice. Connecting his Spark to the Ark's fuel tanks, there was enough Energon to launch the ship. The heroic titan collapsed for a final time, but was happy to see the Autobots finally leaving Cybertron, and in his dying moments, Metroplex's last words were, [['Til all are one|"'Til all are one."]]

Optimus sadly swore that Metroplex's sacrifice would not be in vain.

==Notes==
* Metroplex's head is available in ''Fall of Cybertron'' multiplayer as a Tyrant-type (?!) component for [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]]-class characters.
*In the second chapter of Fall of Cybertron, Metroplex can be seen in his alternate form at the ''very'' beginning of the level.

One of Kaon's notable features was a series of underground [[gladiatorial combat]]s run by [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]...until Megatron killed him and took over the games as a method of recruiting gladiators into the Decepticon army. After being freed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], the Decepticons launched an attack on Kaon and took control of the city, using it as their base to direct the [[Great War (G1)|campaign]] against the [[Autobot]]s. {{storylink|The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin}} As the first city to fall to the Decepticons, Kaon marked the beginning of the [[Fall of the First Five Cities]]. {{storylink|Life After the Big Bang}}

Kaon is the Decepticons' capital city and home to a massive prison complex where Autobot captives, including Autobot leader Zeta Prime, are held. Megatron put Soundwave in command of the Kaon Prison Complex. The prisoners there are loaded onto Decepticon Dropships. The dropships transport the prisoners from any battlefield to Kaon Prison, where they are either escorted to cells, executed, or sent to 'recycling', where the prisoners are thrown into a strong current and crushed in a masher. The city houses huge industrial buildings, which may include weapons manufacturing, or experimental labs.

During the Decepticons' assault of Iacon, Soundwave raided an Autobot outpost, taking several prisoners and most of the outpost's energon supply. When Optimus and his team arrived, Soundwave spotted them and ordered a duo of rocket troopers to attack and destroy them, while he and the other Decepticons left in a dropship for Kaon with the energon and prisoners. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

Galactic transport

{{picsneeded}}
:''Galactic transports are a type of spaceship from the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
'''Galactic transports''' were used by the [[Autobot]]s to evacuate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

==Games==
===''Transformers: War For Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3)===
After learning that the [[core]] was corrupted, and Cybertron could no longer sustain life, [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] ordered the evacuation of Cybertron by all Autobots. Several galactic transports were seen taking off into space, but [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]], in his cannon mode, began to destroy the fleeing vessels. Optimus ordered [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] and his [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]] squadrons to take the gun offline so that the ships could continue their journey. The Autobots kept the rest of their transports grounded until the threat was destroyed, an action that prompted Megatron. After Trypticon was thought defeated, the rest of the galactic transports safely took off from the planet. Optimus Prime then announced to the remaining Autobots that he had commissioned a new galactic transport for them, an ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'', for their evacuation and journey through the stars. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

==="Transformers: Fall of Cybertron" (Xbox 360/PS3)===
Megatron blamed Optimus Prime for the shutdown of Cybertron, and launched a ruthless assault on the ruins of Iacon, with a main objective to destroy the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]. Powerful warp cannons were mounted onto the destroyed buildings of the city, and began firing on the Autobot vessel. However, Optimus was able to destroy the cannons with the help of the newly activated [[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex), leaving the Ark unharmed but without a sufficient energon supply to fuel it. Later, Metroplex insisted that his own energon be utilized to launch the Ark to a space portal, reported by [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] to be the work of [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]. However, Megatron pursued the Autobots in [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], who was now permanently offline and locked in his new alt-mode, the Nemesis. But, the portal was rapidly becoming unstable and sucked both ships into it.

==Notes==
*In the Nintendo DS version of ''War for Cybertron'', the ships used to evacuate Cybertron were referred to as "arks".
*According to Megatron, galactic transports were originally designed as "cargo haulers."

*'''Cybertron Primus''' (Supreme, 2006)

:Yep, it was still there when the toy was released months later in the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

*'''Creator Primus''' (Supreme 2010)

==Merchandise==
* '''Transformers Monopoly''' (2007)
: Kaon replaces Virginia Ave in this version of the game.

* '''RISK TRANSFORMERS CYBERTRON Battle Edition''' (2007)
: Kaon is one of the purple zones on the board.

==Notes==
*Kaon's fortress capitol Kolkular was first non-[[canon]]ically mentioned in the short story "[[Alignment]]".
*In the December 2009 issue of ''GameInformer'', Kaon is incorrectly spelled as '''Chaon'''.
*It seems likely that [[Megatron's castle]], a building that has only appeared in the ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye| More than Meets the Eye]]'' series, is located in Kaon.

===Foreign names===
:*'''Japanese:''' '''Kaon''' (ケイオン, ''Keion'')
