'''The Forge''' is an illegal [[gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial arena]] within the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] city-state of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]. It is within this arena that [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] rose to prominence and began organizing the insurrection that became the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]].

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
The Forge is where Megatron trained the majority of the [[Decepticon]]s, as well as applying extensive physical and psychological conditioning, bodily modification, and [[branding]], all under the heavily bribed nose of [[Xeon|Emirate Xeon]]. It's here that [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] met [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|The War Within Preview}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
The Forge was originally an illegal gladiatorial arena deep within Kaon, but once [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] and his forces started to close in, the locations of the fights were changed each time, with the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] building the arena on an ad-hoc basis. They were also seen using a portable [[smelting pool]] (actually [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]]) to melt down an [[empty]] for the foundation. It is unclear if each of these arenas were designated "The Forge" in turn or if that appellation was unique to the original arena. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}
