Styx

One of the best Decepticon prisons in the galaxy and it gets beaten by a computer program.

A small ice and snow-covered moon orbiting Charon, a vast gas giant, is home to the Decepticon penal colony called Styx. Of all such installations it is the harshest and most brutal. Prisoners sent to Styx have a short life-expectancy and may be better off for that. The penal colony is said to be impregnable.

Gutcruncher was stationed there for a time, before he was on Banzaitron's team.
