'''Kalis''' refers to a city/region on the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
The [[Great War (G1)|war]] between the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] consumed the city, in common with the rest of Cybertron over the millions of years of the conflict. Vast numbers of dead bodies seem to have been left untended in the city, and the city itself is more or less a ruin.

There were two significant things about the city that made it worthy of note.

The first was that the city was positioned directly above a massive fusion reactor and propulsion engines that were the first stage of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s plan to rework Cybertron into a travelling battlestation and thus conquer the universe. The reactor's engines, if ever activated, would have destroyed Kalis.

The second was that the Autobot resistance on Cybertron, led by [[Emirate Xaaron]], chose Kalis as the site for [[Autobase (G1)|Autobase]] in the year 1987, after the failure of [[Operation: Volcano]] and the death of [[Impactor]].

These two aspects intertwined when the rogue Autobot scientist [[Flame (UK comic)|Flame]] attempted to rebuild and restart the reactor and the engines, using [[Zombie|reanimated robot corpses]] as his guards. Only the combined efforts of the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], and the undead Impactor prevented the catastrophe. {{storylink|City of Fear!|City of Fear!}} {{storylink|Legion of the Lost!|Legion of the Lost!}} {{storylink|Meltdown!|Meltdown!}}

Kalis bordered the Decepticon region of [[Tyrest]], and also contained a large-scale radio transmitter called the [[Baird Beaming Facility]].

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' comics===
[[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], [[Bugly]] and [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] were practicing [[Dark Science]] in Kalis when they were visited by [[The Fallen]] who recruited them to be his acolytes for the [[Unbinding]]. {{storylink|Fragmentation|Fragmentation}}

After the Border Wars, the Autobots, Decepticons, and Ultracons met to sign a peace treaty. [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] mentioned that it was largely an Autobot victory over Energon comvinced the logic commander and [[Ratbat (G1)| Ratbat]] to join forces with Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath issue 1|The Age of Wrath issue 1}}

===''Cybertron'' comic===
[[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] used to work at the Kalis Energon Refinery.

During the fight to stop the [[Unicron Singularity]], [[Vector Prime]] suspected that [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] might use the Energon Refinery to strengthen the black hole. Unfortunately, Ramjet's partner [[Thunderclash (Armada)|Thunderclash]] tricked [[Dark Scorponok]] into attacking the refinery. Vector Prime had to reactivate the autoguns while [[Safeguard (Cybertron)|Safeguard]] and [[Sentinel Maximus]] fought Scorponok. An [[Over-Run (Armada)|unseen force]] successfully reactivated the autoguns, but then Sentinel Maximus received an emergency transmission from [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. The attack on the refinery was a distraction so that Ramjet and [[Nemesis Prime (Universe 2003)|Nemesis Prime]] could enter the [[Spark|Spark Core]] Access tunnels with the intention of killing Primus, and resurrecting [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 3}} {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 4}}

==Notes==
* Kalis may be named after [[wikipedia:Kali|Kali]], a Hindu goddess associated with death and destruction, given the thrust of the Marvel UK story was dead corpses walking around.
