[[File:Axiomnexus.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|A city "unlike any other in the multiverse", provided Alex Milne doesn't do any other cityscapes.]]
In one of the [[Nexus 208.0 Epsilon|oldest dimensions]] in the [[multiverse]], one [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]ian city, '''Axiom Nexus''', is a hub for travelers from other dimensions. According to New Arrivals Coordinator [[Silverbolt (TransTech)|Silverbolt]], it is a city "unlike any other in the multiverse". The city maintains its relative harmony through strict adherence to the principle of "Dux non Intruitus": all [[Megatron (disambiguation)|Megatron]]s, [[Prime (disambiguation)|Prime]]s, miscellaneous other faction leaders, and [[:Category:MacGuffins|MacGuffins]] from other universes are considered illegal<ref>"[[Bee in the City]]"</ref>... although this hasn't stopped [[Optimus Prime (TransTech)|some]] from [[Convoy (group)|bending the rules]], and more than a few [[Megatron (BW)|sneaky]] [[Megatron (Movie)#TransTech|off]][[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|worlders]] have managed to circumvent the ban.

Some travelers arrive here by their own design. Others, however, arrive by accident, and must be processed and given [[identification bolt]]s. These "offworlders" are seen as inferior throwbacks by many of the proud and technologically-advanced TransTechs, and permission to travel outside the borders of Axiom Nexus to the rest of its native Cybertron is granted to a very scant few. As such, its inhabitants have a culture all their own, composed of markets and gangs and ... well, a lot of markets and gangs.

Notable locations within Axiom Nexus include:

*[[The Blue Deployer]], a seedy bar run by the equally-seedy [[Cryotek (TransTech)|Cryotek]]
*[[Widow's Cafe Cybertronian]], a resting spot for the downtrodden run by [[Crystal Widow]]
*[[Swindle, Swindle and Swindle]], a black market parts shop run by a trio of [[Swindle (G1)|Swindles]]
*The [[Heap]], a subterranean landscape of dumped dimensional detritus buried outside the reach of the law

20,000 years ago, a hive of temporally-displaced [[Waruder]]s arrived in Axiom Nexus from a universe in the [[Cymond]] Cluster. They spent the next few millennia building up their numbers while secretly feeding off of the planet's [[Cybertonium]]. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

The first Offworlders arrived in Axiom Nexus purely by accident, owing to Nexus 208.0 Epsilon's unique position in the multiverse. {{Storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

[[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]] and [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] ran from police. Framed for the murder of anti-TransTech rabble-rouser [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]], they were eventually absolved of all charges thanks to an unwitting taped confession from Cryotek's thug, [[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]]. {{storylink|Gone Too Far}}

The [[Caretaker]], a supercomputer created by [[Vector Sigma]], sent [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], and [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] across dimensions to where a fourth member of their group was located. This destination was Axiom Nexus, where the trio were greeted by Silverbolt and Security Administration Officer [[Cheetor (TransTech)|Cheetor]]. While the trio got an explanation of their location in the multiverse, they were escorted into a commons area to be "processed". There, they met [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]], who began to introduce them to the outworlder culture of Axiom Nexus—but even as he guided them through their new digs, they were stalked and attacked by unknown assailants. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 1}}

{{locationstub|{{storylink|Withered Hope}} {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 2}} {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 3}} {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 4}} {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 5}} {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 6}} {{storylink|I, Lowtech}}}}

The Waruders then emerged from hibernation en masse, and the interaction of their venom with the planet's Global Net caused a surge that shut down almost all TransTechs. Fortunately, the combined efforts of the [[Diaclone (faction)|Diaclone]], [[Megatron (Movie)|C-81]]'s criminal gang, and some OZSA agents put an end to the invasion. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

Soon after the Waruder invasion, Axiom Nexus began losing contact with probes and, eventually, entire outposts; its influence had been reduced to just six <strike>popular cartoons and films</strike> main clusters. The entire armed forces were called up and placed on maximum alert. A week later, it leaked out that contact had been lost with [[Viron]] too. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist}} This was followed by [[Tyran]] at 0783, 28 September 2015 ([[Quadwal]] time), causing cracks in the government: High Commander [[Megatron (TransTech)|Megatron]] called for a state of war to be declared, only to be turned down by the [[High Senate]] and angrily argued about it in front of reporters. {{storylink|Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter}} The [[Malgus]] cluster was the next to go on 8 October 2015 Quadwal time. {{storylink|Axiom Nexus News Editor}}

The ''official'' line from Senators like [[Ratbat (TransTech)|Ratbat]] was that this was probably just a temporary issue, even as the government covered up the loss of [[Aurex]] on 9 October Quadwal time. While holding a party to celebrate the constant discovery of (fragmentary) Kappa realities, Ratbat accidentally let slip that Aurex had gone dark. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist}}

Shockwave's R&D facility was bombed ten days later. {{storylink|Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter}} ([[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]] admitted it was him but the authorities didn't initially notice, and a few days later he fled the city before they could catch him.) {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric}} Soon after that, the offworld zones fell into violence and chaos as the inhabitants realized they might never go home; the Convoy had to be sent to quell unrest. Rook called the phenomenon "the [[Shroud]]" on the day that [[Hammerstrike (BM)|Hammerstrike]] (one of [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Trion]]'s bodyhackers gone native) hacked the broadcast and proved that [[Uniend]] was now cut off and the Senate had covered it up. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist}}

By 29 October Quadwal time, Axiom Nexus had lost contact with Primax but briefly regained contact with a Gargent base. High Chancellor Optimus Prime and Director Shockwave announced in a press conference that the universal walls had strengthened, rather than the universes lost, and while travel would be possible it was greatly harder and would require new tech. As much of the city's technology involved dimensional phasing in some way, blackouts and unreliable machinery would be standard for a long while; offworlders could not be sent home but Axiom Nexus would expedite the visas of space-worthy bots so they could leave the planet. Prime appealed to Axion Nexus's proud history of adaptation and called for all factions to come together to handle the crisis.

Subsequently, the newly-returned [[Vector Prime]], now a more or less mundane non-singularity Transcendent Technomorph, was asked by the government to participate in continuing efforts to regain Axiom Nexus's transdimensional sphere of influence. The authorities had identified the nine points in their universe where the multiversal walls were thinnest between Nexus 208.0 Epsilon and the nine most prominent <strike>''Transformers'' media</strike> foundational universal streams. With his rare physiology, knowledge of physics, and experience with organics, Vector Prime was assigned to go undercover on [[Nebulos]], posing as a factory in order to monitor and attempt contact with [[Primax 984.0 Gamma]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

On New Year's Eve 2016, Axiom Nexus suddenly was rocked by news that Megatron had finally punched through the Shroud and found multiple universes had been ''erased'': [[Primax 308.0 Zeta]], [[Aurex 503.21 Gamma]], [[Gargent 1084.29 Alpha]], [[Iocus 214.24 Kappa]], [[Primax 1003.30 Kappa]]... even [[Viron 901.8 Alpha]]. This escalated to the entire [[Aurex]] cluster winking out.

Soon, the Nexus reality was the only cluster left in existence.

Then [[Waspinator (TransTech)|Waspinator]] called in to say actually no, he'd been wrong, Rhinox had just been turning off monitoring screens. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist|31/12/2016, Rook - Axiom Nexus News}}

However these events would turn out, Axiom Nexus still existed 10,000 years into the future, when [[Heinrad (TransTech)|Heinrad]] would be called into the present day. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist}}

[[File:Cyb ep8 little match girl.jpg|thumb|Aw, geez. I should read something else to cheer me up. ..."''Where the Red Fern Grows''"? That's perfect, I love dogs!]]
"'''The Little Match Girl'''" is a sad story.
