Cybertropolis Maximal Data Archive

The Cybertropolis Maximal Data Archive is one of the many archives on Cybertron. It has data on where other things are stored and more statues than you can shake a stick at. As the name suggests, it is located in Cybertropolis.

Fiction

Theft of the Golden Disk

As part of a plan of Cryotek's to steal the Golden Disk, Megatron, "Dinobot" and Dirge attacked the central branch of the Cybertropolis Maximal Data Archive. Cutting a way through the wall, they intended to walk down the hallway in front of them until Dirge spotted a standard security web, which he surmised would be a problem. Megatron contacted Team Alpha at Maximal Power Station B4-Y with the order to shut down the Archive's energy supply immediately.

It took a little while, but eventually the security grid went down and the Predacons moved in before emergency power would be activated. While Dirge kept guard outside, "Dinobot" went in first, knocking out a guard in a large hall filled with statues. He and Megatron entered the vault containing the Data-Con Cryotek had asked for. While "Dinobot" planted a timebomb, Megatron uploaded the data and transmitted it to "Tarantulas" in order to triplecross his boss. The duo then fled the Archive, running right into a Maximal Command Security Force squad. Sending off Dirge with an empty Data-Con (but for a tracking bug), Megatron and "Dinobot" fought off the security forces and proceeded to the location of the Golden Disk. Theft of the Golden Disk

Notes

• As said before, the Archive is loaded with statues. Among them are:
  • A statue of Optimus Prime adorns the Archive's exterior.
  • Among the statues in the hall are ones of Antagony and Jhiaxus.
  • Also in the hall are statues representing a Cyber Planet Key and the Matrix.
  • Outside again, a statue of Icepick's Pretender shell is on display.
• As Cybertropolis is a successor to Iacon, this facility may be a successor to the Hall of Records that appeared in the Generation 1 cartoon.
• In the Beast Machines cartoon, Cybertropolis has a facility named the Cybertron Archives. Any relationship to this archive is unknown.
• The Cybertropolis Maximal Data Archive was renamed the "Hall of Records" for Waspinator's Hall of Fame bio.
• In the 2021 Beast Wars comic, Megatron's crew instead steals the Golden Disk from an unnamed research center operated by the Wheeljack Ministry of Science.
