Editing High Council Tower

:''The High Council Tower is a location from the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]] [[continuity family]].''
The '''High Council Tower''' is located in [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]] and is where the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] would meet. The Tower's foundations were built on the supercomputer [[Teletraan-1]] and the dormant [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]. The Council met in a chamber shaped like a [[spark]], which the thirteen Councilors would enter through thirteen doors and stand at a slightly curved row of podiums, and from the viewing area on the floor rose several balconies.

==Fiction==
With the anti-[[caste system|caste]] sentiment turned violent and [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] missing, [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] convinced the High Councilors to let them hear what the movement's leaders, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]] had to say. [[Halogen]] was the hearing's moderator and stood in the central podium. In front of the packed balconies, Orion and Megatron fended off accusations from Halogen, [[Contrail]], [[Ratbat (Prime)|Ratbat]], [[Drivetrain]] and [[Sigil]]. Orion implored the High Council appoint a new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] to lead Cybertron into a new [[Golden Age]]. He was unaware Alpha Trion had suggested to them that Orion was the Prime foretold in the [[Covenant of Primus]], and they unanimously voted him in as Optimus Prime, and told him to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

Incensed and believing their friendship was a ploy by Optimus for power, Megatron assassinated Halogen. Optimus ordered the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] stand down and spare his friend. Megatron ordered his followers, which turned out to include Contrail and Ratbat, to leave, and the civil war between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s began. Optimus neglected to use the Council Chamber as his headquarters, opting for a reading room in the [[Hall of Records]] instead.

In the final stages of the war, Megatron returned to the High Council Tower, but this time to its foundations, seeking access to [[Teletraan-1]] so he could take the [[Plasma energy]] Chamber and use it to corrupt the [[Core]] with [[Dark Energon]]. [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] took the necessary [[Code Key]] of Power from the Hall of Justice, scaring off some young Autobots who alerted Optimus to their presence. However, Teletraan-1 ordered Omega Supreme to fly the Chamber to safety, and in the cause of his awakening and launch the Tower collapsed. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}
