Editing Foreston

The planet '''Foreston''' (フォレストン ''Foresuton'') is home to an ancient facility for constructing [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] bodies.

==Fiction==
===''Masterpiece'' toy bios===
After expelling their [[Quintesson]] creators from the planet, the robotic inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] sought to give themselves new bodies of their own design, and an underground facility was established on Foreston to develop these frames. While the "second generation" project started well, the [[Diadem]] facility where the body frames were being tested suffered an attack by a faction named [[Regiment]], who devastated the installation and stole a large supply of bodies. The project subsequently faltered and was forgotten entirely during [[Great War (G1)|Cybertron's civil war]], but the plant on Foreston never received a stop order, and its automated systems thus spent millions of years continuing to produce and improve "G2" bodies. 

Unfortunately, the process ''also'' gave life to a [[Swarm (G2)|swarm]] of strange, formless prototypes, which proceeded to burst its way out of the facility to the surface. Some time afterwards, a party of [[Autobot]]s arrived at the factory, bypassing the plant's ancient security systems thanks to [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]'s status as a senator. Although concerned about the escaped swarm, the team successfully claimed the facility's technology, which was used to grant [[Sideswipe (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sideswipe]] a G2 upgrade {{storylink|Crosscut (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Crosscut profile}} and later, to restore the form of the marooned interdimensional traveller [[Burn Out (Diaclone)|Burn Out]]. {{storylink|Burn Out (Diaclone)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Dia Burn Out profile}}

==Notes==
* While the extent of the in-universe connection (if any) is currently unclear, Foreston's name and role in providing "G2 upgrades" are a reference to [[forestonite]], an esoteric energy source first mentioned in [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)#Transformers: G-2|Japanese ''G-2'' fiction]] and later depicted in stories from [[Fun Publications]] as the mechanism by which many characters were upgraded into their ''Generation 2'' forms.
