Your answer must be stated in the form of a massacre.

The Warworld is a vast, spherical Decepticon battle cruiser created by the Decepticons under the command of Bludgeon. Built from technology stolen, scavenged, and forcibly taken from a variety of alien sources, this patchwork ship is a force to be reckoned with, covered with armaments of all sizes, from small guns to the huge primary cannon whose lens dominates the front of the vessel.

Sometimes there are lots of it.

Man, I hope they impale that little ship on their giant bat'leth.

Bludgeon's purpose for creating the Warworld was as a ship for stealing energy and other resources throughout space (including those from the Jabbi-Ko, Karkan, and Szorian races). It was originally his flagship and host to his army of Decepticon clones.

When Megatron battled and destroyed Bludgeon, he took command of the ship, cargo and crew included. The Gathering Darkness The Warworld was involved in many Autobot conflicts.

Starscream stole the Matrix and used its power to combine himself with the Warworld. He reshaped its interior, battled Jhiaxus's troops, and tortured Megatron and Optimus Prime. Dark Shadows! But the Matrix's essence started to turn him from his evil ways. Starscream was so scared of becoming good that he did not put up any resistance when Optimus Prime and Megatron took the Matrix away from him. A Rage in Heaven!

Rebellion? There's not going to be any rebellion. Not if I can keep giving them fights - good ones. Enough to take their minds off their troubles.

Bludgeon's forces travelled in the Warworld to the planet Torkulon, where they eradicated the native population. Loose Ends, Part 3 Soundwave, the leader of Cybertron's "Neo-Decepticons" met with Bludgeon aboard the Warworld above Cresta Superior to witness a demonstration of the latter's new Blitz Engines as they... eradicated the native population. Destiny, Part One Following an agreement between the two Decepticon leaders, Bludgeon turned the Warworld towards Cybertron. Destiny, Part Two

Thanks to Soundwave, all of Cybertron's long-range scanners were out of commission so Cosmos, performing reconnaissance for the Autobots, was the first to notice the Warworld's arrival... and then it promptly obliterated him. Destiny, Part Three With the Blitz Engines running amok on Cybertron and the Warworld looming in the skies overhead, Perceptor quickly deduced Bludgeon's war machines were being powered powered by Matrix energy and so Kup and the Wreckers were dispatched to infiltrate the giant starship. Meanwhile, Bludgeon was persuaded to unleash some of the Warworld's ordnance on the planet below, selecting the Autobot hero Ultra Magnus as his primary target. Destiny, Part Four

After allowing his troops to join in the battle on Cybertron's surface, Bludgeon elected to take out the Wreckers aboard the Warworld himself, using his stealth and Metallikato skills. Pursuing Kup through its interior to the bridge, he was surprised by the emergence of Rodimus Prime from Zero Space and quickly bested by the Autobot leader, who threw him through the bridge window to fall to the planet below. Subsequently, the Warworld came under heavy fire from the Ark under the control of Starscream and Shockwave. As Rodimus Prime and the Wreckers evacuated the Warworld it exploded above Cybertron, eliciting cheers from the victorious Autobots below. Less Than Zero Destiny, Part Five

At some point in the Great War, the Decepticons had amassed a fleet of War Worlds. Rules of Disengagement A single ship of the class was regarded by Starscream as having enough firepower to destroy multiple planets. Stranger Eons Skullcruncher and Krok served together on one of them. Some Of My Best Friends Are Autobots The Autobots successfully bribed the notorious Phase Sixer Black Shadow half a billion Shanix to blow up the fleet, leading to his being wanted by the Decepticon Justice Division.

Later, aboard the Lost Light, Chromedome noted that Trailcutter's Nightmare Fuel could push a Warworld into hyperspace. An Intimate Beheading

The renegade Decepticon Deathsaurus used a stolen and rather grubby Warworld as the flagship of his fleet. The Permanent Revolution

The Space Knight Livia was familiar enough with Warworlds that she proposed the mysterious Unicron might be one. Our Darkest A number of Warworlds were employed by the Decepticon Vengeance Division in their failed attempt to destroy Unicron, Stranger Eons subsequently being warped into Unicron's service and acting as his heralds during his attack on Cybertron. Unlike the Worldburners and Worldsweepers however, the Warworlds were all destroyed. Our Finest

Notes

• The general look of the Warworld tended to change as the Generation 2 series progressed. In-fiction, this could be the result of its nature as a continuously growing patchwork of stolen alien technology. In reality, it's what you get when three very different artists depict a massive glob of sprawling machinery.
• The Warworld was used as the basis for a dice and card board game (of a fashion) called "Robots in Disguise Giant Battle Game", which was featured across two pages in issue 2 of the Fleetway book. The object of the game was to aid either the Autobots or Decepticons in capturing the heart of the Warworld. Kev F. Sutherland's rendering of the usually round vessel was highly angular and its customary colour scheme was somewhat altered.
• While not stated outright, Nemesis is depicted in the Legends manga to have been commissioned by Galvatron, a native of the Marvel-Generation 2-Alignment world, implying that Nemesis is a form of Warworld.
