New Kaon

This article is about the planet from Animated. For the fortress from Prime which is also sometimes called New Kaon, see Darkmount (Earth). For a list of other meanings, see Kaon (disambiguation).

Situated on the far galactic rim away from Autobot interference, the Decepticon refugee colony of New Kaon is ideal for coordinating the scattered cells of Decepticons left in the wake of Megatron's disappearance. It serves as the capital world of the Decepticon Empire, albeit a very unimpressive one.

New Kaon was a densely populated planet on the outer rim of the galaxy, and the capital of the Decepticon Empire following the destruction of Unicron. The planet rose to prominence immediately after Megatron disappeared, and Blitzwing invited every Decepticon emigrated to the planet to hold a wake for their leader; when Unicron attacked Cybertron, many Decepticons fled their homeworld and emigrated to New Kaon, and worked together to build New Kaon into a city planet modelled after the slums of old Cybertron.

Notes

• The name "Pyrovar" originates in the unofficial text story "Alignment", in which a planet of that name was similarly made the capital world of a displaced Decepticon army (albeit named "New Cybertron").
