Serving as a waypoint between the bases on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s moons, '''''Trypticon Station''''' was captured by the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s early in the war, and ultimately held by the Decepticons once [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] had fully recruited the aerial forces that occupied it. Subsequently [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] performed extensive upgrades to the station, including granting it an array of [[spark]]s, and guided it to sentience as the Decepticon '''Trypticon'''. In pursuit of the escaping [[Autobot]]s, Shockwave's final upgrade to Trypticon was revealed, its ability to transform into the interstellar warship known as the '''''Nemesis'''''.

Prior to the war, ''Trypticon Station'' was used for research that could not be conducted planetside, including the first forays into sequestering the [[Dark Energon]] that had resulted from [[Unicron]]'s attack on the planet. Its security was seen to by the Seeker caste, which allowed [[Air Commander]] [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] knowledge of its secrets. As a result, he ordered his forces to occupy it after the capture of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]], as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Megatron and his growing Decepticon army.

During one of Starscream's absences, Megatron decided he tired of negotiations and took ''Trypticon Station'' by force. Upon Starscream's return to the station, Megatron pressed the Seeker and ultimately gained access to the facility's research on Dark Energon. However as the supplies of the substance from the initial harvest were slender, he required the means to transfer large quantities of  [[energon (fuel)|energon]] to the station so that they could be converted into the rarer resource. As Trypticon Station was configured to receive fuel from the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] in [[Crystal City]], the Decepticons were able to transfer an initial supply, but not nearly enough for the ravenous rate at which they were consuming Dark Energon. This was eventually remedied by Megatron's capture of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], which provided a nearly unlimited source of fuel directly from Cybertron's core.

After a team led by [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] ventured into the planet's core to cut off the transfer, Megatron decided to switch tactics. Allowing Shockwave to apply the experimental knowledge he had gleaned over the course of the war, Trypticon was granted life and sentience, including the ability to shape its corridors into a dizzying array of defense drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicon]]s.

Ultimately a team of Autobots aboard the ''[[Eight Track]]'' found a gap in the station's external defenses, and managed to venture within and knock the behemoth from orbit. Victory was brief however, as Trypticon revealed a robot form and crawled from the wreckage planetside. Though initially the [[Wrecker]]s and [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] were tasked with keeping the gargantuan Decepticon away from the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'' launch, this proved to be in vain as Megatron boarded Trypticon along with a hand-picked crew of the Decepticon elite. Transforming into a ''Nemesis''-class battleship, Trypticon pursued the ''Ark'' to, and subsequently through, the last remaining functional [[space bridge]] in Cybertronian orbit. As the ''Ark'' emerged in unknown space, the ''Nemesis'' was nowhere within sensor range. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron|Exodus}}
