'''Asia''' is [[Earth]]'s largest continent. It is also the most diverse continent on the planet, encompassing all climate types and varieties of people. Asia is sometimes subdivided into the Far East (containing [[Burma]], [[China]], [[Indonesia]], [[Japan]], [[North Korea|North]] and [[South Korea]], [[Singapore]], [[Taiwan]], the [[Philippines]] and [[Vietnam]]), the [[Middle East]] ([[Iran]], [[Iraq]], [[Israel]], [[Jordan]], [[Turkey]] (partly in Europe), [[Qatar]]), Southern Asia ([[Afghanistan]], [[India]], [[Pakistan]]), and Northen Asia ([[Russia]]).

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
Burma was a location of [[ruby crystal]]s. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 2}}

Indonesia was the home of the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] before being reintroduced to the Decepticons. {{storylink|A Plague of Insecticons}} [[Chumley|Lord Chumley]] also liked to hunt there. {{storylink|Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target}}

In [[1943]], Japan and the [[United States of America|United States]] fought in [[Guadalcanal]] as part of WWII. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}} Forty-two years later, Japanese scientist [[Doctor Fujiyama the Famous Scientist|Dr. Fujiyama]] built [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]]. {{storylink|Enter the Nightbird}} Later that year, Japan was menaced by [[Kremzeek]], a Decepticon-created electrical creature who severely damaged the electronics manufacturing industry there. {{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

Some time in 2006 (2010 in the Japanese continuity), the Decepticons mounted a series of nonsensical attacks on Japan. [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] and [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] attacked [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] in the Sea of Japan, upsetting local fishermen, while [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] attempted to ram a bullet train, and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] fought [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] outside a dojo. Despite the able Autobot defense, the extensive damage caused the furious [[Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]] to turn into a racial stereotype.

After questioning his fitness for leadership (and managing to lose the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in a surprise attack), [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] learned from the dojo sensei the lesson that he who deserts his obligations is already defeated. Later, a Matrix-mutated [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]] attacked a major Japanese city. Giant robots just can't stay away from the place. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

Prince [[Jumal]], of the Iranian royal family, was deposed by [[Ali (Sunbow)|Ali]], a man working with the Decepticons in an attempt to take over the world. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

A solar power plant off the [[Malabar Coast]] in India was attacked by Decepticons as a diversion. {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 1}} Twenty years later, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] stole the [[Taj Mahal]] but pinned the theft on [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. As it turned out, the Taj Mahal had been taken by Trypticon to [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]], and the Autobots were later able to return it. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

2022-06-17T15:44:59Z

Former2005:

The '''Middle East''' is a term for the various desert countries situated in the meeting point between the [[Africa]]n and [[Asia]]n continents. Countries located there include [[Egypt]], [[Jordan]], [[Iran]], [[Iraq]], [[Israel]], [[Turkey]] (partly in Europe), [[Qatar]], and [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]]. The area is noted for its high concentration of [[oil]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
The Decepticons collaborated with [[Ali (Sunbow)|an usurper]] in an unnamed nation in stealing a number of planes, intending to use them to create a drone army to seize the region's [[oil]] fields and [[Giant Purple Griffin|a big frikkin' griffin robot]] to do... something. The [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] and [[Jumal|Prince Jumal]] thwarted this brilliant plan. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

In 2005, [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] hid out in Carbombya. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

Later, [[Octane]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] went to hide in Carbombya and use its oil, with Octane planning to use the refueled Trypticon against [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], while providing (bad) coastal defence of the nation to keep the Carbombyans sweet. Eventually, Carbombya's ruler [[Abdul Fakkadi (G1)|Abdul Fakkadi]] started getting the Decepticons to ''steal famous buildings'' for him ''to create a tourist trade''. When other Decepticons turned up and simply took over the country, Fakkadi had to call in the Autobots, who made him promise to never ally with the Decepticons again. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon====
The Decepticon [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmasters]] attacked a Middle Eastern [[oil refinery]] to lure the Autobots into a trap. It worked! (But the trap didn't) {{storylink|Overlord - Terror of the Chōkon Tornado}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
====Two for the Price of One====
[[NATO]] carried a peacekeeping operation in Carbombya, under the command of [[Joseph Bergstrum]]. {{storylink|Two for the Price of One}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
Thundercracker and Skywarp, disguised as American F-22 jets, took out the El Jira power plant in an unspecified nation, as part of the Decepticon strategy of provoking human conflicts. {{storylink|Escalation issue 2}}

===Live-action film series continuity===
====''Transformers'' film====
The American [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] was an early target, being assaulted by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] who hacked its data and wiped out the entire base. A few surviving soldiers under [[William Lennox]] and local civilian [[Mahfouz]] were hunted down by [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], almost being exterminated (along with a local village) before reinforcements [[Bring the rain|brought the rain]].

Scorponok was still there after the destruction of the [[AllSpark]], {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}} but he later ended up in [[Egypt]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

====IDW movie comics====
The Decepticons landed in Afghanistan, destroying a military convoy and assaulting [[Bargam Airbase]] while looking for information on Megatron. [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] was offlined and captured by the humans here. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

Decepticon reinforcement [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]] made his landing in the Middle East. He scanned his alternate mode at a nearby US air base before destroying it.{{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

====Titan movie comics====
[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and a US Army Ranger team combed the Qatar deserts for Scorponok. The Decepticon managed to hack into Ironhide and make him attack the soldiers for a bit, but they eventually exterminated him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 8|Scorpion Sting}}

====Toy bios====
A not-actually-dead [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] escaped to the Middle East and converted himself to solar power. He now lies in wait, attacking human convoys and armoured columns... well, because he ''can'', basically. {{storylink|Brawl (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Deep Desert Brawl}}

At the same time, an abandoned Scorponok is trying to hide out in the empty deserts, but is being grimly pursued by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Scorponok (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Legends Scorponok}}

==Games==
====Transformers The Game====
Blackout and Scorponok attacked a SOCCENT Forward Base in Qatar and had a massive battle, only for it to turn out to be ''completely pointless''. So they went home again.

====Transformers: Decepticons====
Once ''again'' Qatar is attacked, with [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Create-A-Bot]] leading Blackout and Brawl in a massive assault on human forces there. Create-A-Bot took on the human troops and Brawl held off reinforcenments, while Blackout, under fire, hacked data from buildings and took out satellites. Then they fought off Autobots and won! HIGH SCORE! {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons}}

Turkey

2022-06-17T15:43:13Z

Former2005:

'''Turkey''' is a country linking southern [[Europe]] to western [[Asia]]. Its capital is [[Istanbul]].

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
Millions of years ago a Cybertronian weather-controlling machine crashed on Earth, landing in Asia. When [[human]]s dug it up in the 14th century and exposed it to Earth's atmosphere, the machine's power core caused weather disasters, so a Persian seer had it encased in a protective gold and bejeweled shell, then buried this newly-dubbed "[[Pearl of Bahoudin]]" in the [[Galata Valley]] next to the [[Alibey River]]. In [[1985]], the [[Autobot]]s joined the [[Europa 2000]] race from [[France]] to Turkey. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] anticipated their arrival in Turkey, and muscled the expertise out of both [[Abdul Ben-F'aisal]] and [[Teranova|Professor Teranova]] in order to find and extract the Pearl. He attempted to use its weather-control powers against the Autobots, but failed. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}

===''Energon'' comic===
[[Kicker]] and the [[Omnicon]]s battled against [[Mirage (Energon)|Mirage]], [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]], and [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]] over the control of an [[energon]] well beneath the [[Black Sea]] in Turkey. The good guys won. {{storylink|Multiplicity}} {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}} {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}}

==Notes==
*In [[2022]], the Republic of Turkey officially rebranded their English name to the Turkish endonym '''Türkiye''', though this has yet to be reflected in any ''Transformers'' fiction.
