	When Cybertron was restored, the Sea of Rust was transformed into a habitable landscape for Cybertronians. It was the scene of a battle between [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)\|Ultra Magnus]], [[Smokescreen (Prime)\|Smokescreen]], [[Darksteel (Prime)\|Darksteel]] and [[Skylynx (Prime)\|Skylynx]]. That battle resulted in Magnus being gravely wounded. Much later, after [[Bumblebee (WFC)\|Bumblebee]] told Predaking of their existence, the Predacon leader searched the Sea of Rust for his two new brethren, using his flame breath as a beacon to attract them. However the beacon instead drew in a [[Unicron/Aligned\|Unicron]]-possessed Megatron and Predaking, having previously been betrayed by Megatron, fought him but was defeated. {{storylink\|Predacons Rising (Prime)\|Predacons Rising}}		When Cybertron was restored, the Sea of Rust was transformed into a habitable landscape for Cybertronians.

	The region that would come to be known as the Sea of Rust was the wasteland left when the [[Crystal City]] collapsed beneath the surface of Cybertron soon after the launch of [[Ark (G1)\|Nova Prime's Ark]] six million years ago. {{storylink\|Primus: All Good Things\|All Good Things}} {{storylink\|An Uneventful Night}} After two million years, it had become known as the '''Rust Spot''', a several-hundred mile wide region packed with hazards that included nuclear winds, [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]], [[Slicer (group)\|Slicers]], mist that corrodes your body while also disrupting your navigation systems. Most Cybertronians avoided the place, but a network of tunnels beneath the surface afforded those who absolutely had to pass through it safe passage.

	Around four million years ago, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Orion Pax]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)\|Nightbeat]] were sent into the Rust spot to perform a hostage exchange with [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]]'s [[Decepticon]]s, exchanging [[Rack'n'Ruin (G1)\|Rack'n'Ruin]] for Pax's old friend [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]]. The pair were guided by [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]], foremost expert on the unmappable region. After fending off an attack by Slicers near the [[Tesk Crater]], the trio were taken to the Decepticons' base in the underground tunnels, where Bludgeon revealed that the reason he'd picked the Rust Spot as the stage of the exchange was so that he could trap and capture Alpha Trion. {{storylink\|Omega's Conundrum}} Bludgeon's subsequent attempt to execute Orion Pax accidentally led a commuter shuttle to crash in the Rust Spot, stranding [[Hoist (G1)\|Hoist]] in the wastelands for an extended period of time. {{storylink\|The Waiting Game\|Spotlight: Hoist}}		Around four million years ago, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Orion Pax]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)\|Nightbeat]] were sent into the Rust spot to perform a hostage exchange with [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]]'s [[Decepticon]]s, exchanging [[Rack'n'Ruin (G1)\|Rack'n'Ruin]] for Pax's old friend [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]].

	After obtaining the [[Omega Key]]s, Megatron went to the Sea of Rust to find the [[Omega Lock]]. He and his men were attacked by the [[Autobot]]s, who reclaimed the Keys and managed to locate the accompanying Lock. {{storylink\|Regeneration (Prime)\|Regeneration}} After getting the keys back, Megatron activated the lock and restored a nearby building with it. Then [[Optimus Prime (WFC)\|Optimus Prime]] hit the lock with the [[Star Saber (~~Prima~~)\|Star Saber]], exploding it and devastating the immediate area. {{storylink\|Darkest Hour (episode)\|Darkest Hour}}		After obtaining the [[Omega Key]]s, Megatron went to the Sea of Rust to find the [[Omega Lock]].

	The region that would come to be known as the Sea of Rust was the wasteland left when the [[Crystal City]] collapsed beneath the surface of Cybertron soon after the launch of [[Ark (G1)\|Nova Prime's Ark]] six million years ago. {{storylink\|Primus: All Good Things\|All Good Things}} {{storylink\|An Uneventful Night}} After two million years, it had become known as the '''Rust Spot''', a several-hundred mile wide region packed with hazards that included nuclear winds, [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]], [[Slicer (group)\|Slicers]], mist that corrodes your body while also disrupting your navigation systems. Most Cybertronians avoided the place, but a network of tunnels beneath the surface afforded those who absolutely had to pass through it safe passage. The Rust Spot was within driving distance of [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]], and also quite close to [[Peptex]]. {{storylink\|Omega's Conundrum}} {{storylink\|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange\|Lagrange}}		The region that would come to be known as the Sea of Rust was the wasteland left when the [[Crystal City]] collapsed beneath the surface of Cybertron soon after the launch of [[Ark (G1)\|Nova Prime's Ark]] six million years ago. {{storylink\|Primus: All Good Things\|All Good Things}} {{storylink\|An Uneventful Night}} After two million years, it had become known as the '''Rust Spot''', a several-hundred mile wide region packed with hazards that included nuclear winds, [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]], [[Slicer (group)\|Slicers]], mist that corrodes your body while also disrupting your navigation systems.

	Around four million years ago, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Orion Pax]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)\|Nightbeat]] were sent into the Rust spot to perform a hostage exchange with [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]]'s [[Decepticon]]s, exchanging [[Rack'n'Ruin (G1)\|Rack'n'Ruin]] for Pax's old friend [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]]. The pair were guided by [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]], foremost expert on the unmappable region. After fending off an attack by Slicers near the [[Tesk Crater]], the trio were taken to the Decepticons' base in the underground tunnels, where Bludgeon revealed that the reason he'd picked the Rust Spot as the stage of the exchange was so that he could trap and capture Alpha Trion. {{storylink\|Omega's Conundrum}} Bludgeon's subsequent attempt to execute Orion Pax accidentally led a commuter shuttle to crash in the Rust Spot, stranding [[Hoist (G1)\|Hoist]] in the wastelands for an extended period of time. {{storylink\|The Waiting Game\|Spotlight: Hoist}}		Around four million years ago, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Orion Pax]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)\|Nightbeat]] were sent into the Rust spot to perform a hostage exchange with [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]]'s [[Decepticon]]s, exchanging [[Rack'n'Ruin (G1)\|Rack'n'Ruin]] for Pax's old friend [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]].

	The chaotic conditions of the Rust Spot were calmed when Cybertron was reverted to its primordial state by [[Vector Sigma]]. Unbeknownst to anyone on Cybertron, around the time of Crystal City's destruction, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]] had planted his regenerative [[Ore-14]] beneath the city, which caused the city to reconstruct itself beneath the surface of the reborn planet, where the Rust Spot had been. {{storylink\|Shockwaves}} {{storylink\|Primus: All Good Things\|All Good Things}} Shockwave then used the city as his staging base as he attempted to enact the "Dark Cybertron" prophecy, but he was foiled by interference from Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]], which caused the entire city to collapse into a miniature singularity that now floated in the middle of the Rust Sea. {{storylink\|Dark Cybertron (IDW)\|Dark Cybertron}} {{storylink\|The World of Tomorrow}} The singularity played havoc local atmospheric patterns, recreating the hazardous conditions of the Rust Spot of the past, {{storylink\|The Transformers: Redemption\|Redemption}} and leading modern Cybertronians to give the area a new name: the Sea of Rust. {{storylink\|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange\|Lagrange}}		The chaotic conditions of the Rust Spot were calmed when Cybertron was reverted to its primordial state by [[Vector Sigma]].
