The '''Pax Cybertronia''' was the unilateral peace accord signed after the [[Autobot|Autobots]] defeated the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] in the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. Little is known about how it came into existence, but it is known that [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] played an incredibly significant role in making it happen.{{fact}}

==Accords of surrender==
When the Decepticons surrendered at the end of the Great War, terms were drawn up to keep the peace until a formal treaty could be written. Any Autobot or Decepticon criminals acting outside of this agreement was a fair target for military action.

Under the accords, the Predacon alliance was subject to such strict economic sanctions, the production of new [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Protoform|protoforms]] slowed to a bare trickle, and the [[Tripredacus Council]] feared that any overt confrontation with the Maximals could doom their entire race to extinction. During this period the Tripredacus Council began aggressively undermining the actions of Predacon rebels, hoping to shield them from destruction by the [[Maximal Imperium]] so that they might live to fight another day. This, combined with the original surrender, permanently soured the Council's reputation among their fellow Predacons, leading many to consider them self-interested opportunists and traitors to the Predacon cause.

The accords were in effect for 50 [[Stellar cycle|Stellar cycles]] before they were succeeded by the Pax Cybertronia. {{storylink|The Razor's Edge|The Razor's Edge}}

==Fiction==
===Beast Wars===
According to the known terms, it places the Decepticons (and later their descendants the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]) at great disadvantage, with the Autobots (and later the [[Maximal|Maximals]]) firmly in control. It kept the peace on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], while keeping much information away from the [[Transformer|Transformers]] about their ancestors.

Leading up to the [[Beast Era]], powerful factions within the [[Predacon Alliance]] such as the [[Tripredacus Council]] want to continue to [[Cold War (history)|build up their resources]] under the restrictions placed on them by the Pax Cybertronia before a new campaign of conquest. This is a major point of contention between the leadership of the Alliance and sub-factions that would prefer action today.

When arresting Predacon rebels, Tripredacus agents invoke the Pax Cybertronia. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}}

==Notes==
*The Pax Cybertronia appears to be based on the [[wikipedia:Pax Romana|Pax Romana]].
*The reluctance of the Predacons and their subservient role in the new world is also somewhat reminiscent of a [[Wikipedia:Weimar Republic|post-WWI Germany]], which was forced to pay excessive reparations and was restricted in its weapons development, or to the modern [[Wikipedia:Neo-Confederate|Neo-Confederate]] movement in response to the conclusion of the American Civil War.
*[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron's]] comment on the Predacons merely "biding their time", that and the covert schemes of the Tripredacus Council, shows evidence of them treating the era as a [[Wikipedia:Secret Wars (disambiguation)|secretive]], [[Wikipedia:Undeclared war|undeclared]] [[Wikipedia:Cold war (general term)|cold war]].
