In one of the [[Nexus 208.0 Epsilon|oldest dimensions]] in the [[multiverse]], one [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian 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 a strict principal 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)|offworlders]] 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 & 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 [[Cybertronium]]. {{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.''

[[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}}

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]] tried to take implicit credit. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric}}) Soon after that, the offworld zones fell into violence and chaos as the inhabitants realised they might never go home; the Convoy had to be sent to quell unrest. Rook called the phenomenon "[[the Shroud]]" on the day that a [[Cybershark|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}}

Axiom Nexus was one of the locations on Cybertron used as battle arena by car-type Bot Shots. It looked just like [[Cybertropolis]]. {{storylink|Bot Shots Battle Game!}}
