'''Africa''' is one of [[Earth]]'s largest continents, second only to [[Asia]]. Most of north Africa is covered in the massive [[Sahara|Sahara Desert]], and contains countries such as [[Egypt]] and the [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya]]. In contrast, the middle of Africa has plenty of deep jungles and rainforests, and is where you can find [[Kenya]]. Southern Africa, which has a fairly varied terrain, contains [[Zambia]], [[Namibia]], [[Angola]] and [[South Africa]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
The [[Decepticon]]s set up a [[Solar Needle]] somewhere in the center of Africa. En route to stop this plot, the [[Autobot]]s had to shoot a lot of vegetation out of the way. {{storylink|Changing Gears}}

The [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya]] was located on the northern Mediterranean coast of Africa. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon====
The Decepticons used bombs to force wild animals in Kenya into stampeding. They were eventually stopped by the Autobots. {{storylink|Panic! Protect the Wild Animals!!}}

===Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic===
The Decepticons invaded North Africa, leading to intense fighting. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}}

===''Generation 2'' Annual===
After planting a spaceship on [[Table Mountain]] in Africa, the Autobots tricked the Decepticons into entering it, after which the Autobots shot the vessel into space. {{storylink|Day of the Decepticons}}

===''Beast Wars'' cartoon===
The [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]] and [[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]] appeared to have crash-landed somewhere in Africa at the beginning of the Beast Wars. The [[Maximal|Maximals']] alternate forms were all native to the continent; [[Cheetor (BW)|cheetahs]], [[Rhinox (BW)|rhinos]], [[Rattrap (BW)|rats]] are all found there, and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|gorillas]] are exclusive to Africa. Likewise, the [[human|human race]] emerged from Africa, making it the likely candidate for the location of the valley which the Predacons attacked in their first attempt to change history. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}

However, since both the Maximals and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] were capable of relatively quick long-distance travel {{storylink|Fallen Comrades}} {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}}, it is not entirely clear where all events of the Beast Wars took place.

===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
[[Vector Prime]] and the kids traveled to an area in the [[Sahara|Sahara desert]] in search of the [[Omega Lock]]; they were then pursued by [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. The Lock turned out to be a fake. {{storylink|Time (episode)|Time}}

===Live-action film series===
====''The Veiled Threat''====
After a sighting of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] in Zambia, [[NEST]] sent a team of Autobots to investigate. Battles with the Decepticons ensued. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

====IDW movie comics====
{{locationstub}}

====Titan ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comic====
Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]] held both a NEST maximum security prison and the 2010 [[World Cup]]. By law of narrative, the Decepticons broke free of the prison at the same time the cup final was taking place, causing mayhem and forcing the Autobots to let the Decepticons leave. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}}

====Toy bios====
An injured (presumably due to damage wrought to him by the [[Rail gun|rail gun]]) [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] was last seen hiding in the African disaster zone.<ref>The most wanted Decepticons Devastator card</ref>

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
[[File:DOTM-Decepticons-campsite.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The official Decepticon camping trip was not off to a rousing start; Starscream had already stolen all the marshmallows and blamed it on Soundwave.]]

Weakened after his defeat at the hands of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the death of [[The Fallen]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] escaped with Starscream, [[Igor]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to [[Namibia]], Africa, where he and the remnants of his army operated from a makeshift camp in secret. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}
