Axiom Nexus

This article is about the city of grudging peace and relative harmony. For the human weapon of death and destruction, see Axiom Gun.

Axiom Nexus is a city from the TransTech continuity.

A city "unlike any other in the multiverse", provided Alex Milne doesn't do any other cityscapes.

In one of the oldest dimensions in the multiverse, one Cybertronian city, Axiom Nexus, is a hub for travelers from other dimensions. According to New Arrivals Coordinator Silverbolt, it is a city "unlike any other in the multiverse". The city maintains its relative harmony through a strict principal of "Dux non Intruitus": all Megatrons, Primes, miscellaneous other faction leaders, and MacGuffins from other universes are considered illegal... although this hasn't stopped some from bending the rules, and more than a few sneaky offworlders have managed to circumvent the ban.

Some travelers arrive here by their own design. Others, however, arrive by accident, and must be processed and given identification bolts. These "offworlders" are seen as inferior throwbacks by many of the proud and technologically-advanced TransTechs, and permission to travel outside the borders of Axiom Nexus to the rest of its native Cybertron is granted to a very scant few. As such, its inhabitants have a culture all their own, composed of markets and gangs and ... well, a lot of markets and gangs.

Notable locations within Axiom Nexus include:

• The Blue Deployer, a seedy bar run by the equally-seedy Cryotek
• Widow's Cafe Cybertronian, a resting spot for the downtrodden run by Crystal Widow
• Swindle, Swindle & Swindle, a black market parts shop run by a trio of Swindles
• The Heap, a subterranean landscape of dumped dimensional detritus buried outside the reach of the law

Fiction

Axiom Nexus: Giving characters their first fictional appearances since 2008.

20,000 years ago, a hive of temporally-displaced Waruders arrived in Axiom Nexus from the Cymond cluster. They spent the next few millennia building up their numbers while secretly feeding off of the planet's Cybertronium. Cybertron's Most Wanted

The first Offworlders arrived in Axiom Nexus purely by accident, owing to Nexus 208.0 Epsilon's unique position in the multiverse.

The Caretaker, a supercomputer created by Vector Sigma, sent Breakaway, Landquake, and Skyfall across dimensions to where a fourth member of their group was located. This destination was Axiom Nexus, where the trio were greeted by Silverbolt and Security Administration Officer Cheetor. While the trio got an explanation of their location in the multiverse, they were escorted into a commons area to be "processed". There, they met Alpha Trion, who began to introduce them to the outworlder culture of Axiom Nexus—but even as he guided them through their new digs, they were stalked and attacked by unknown assailants.

Meanwhile, Jackpot and Hubcap ran from police. Framed for the murder of anti-TransTech rabble-rouser Gutcruncher, they were eventually absolved of all charges thanks to an unwitting taped confession from Cryotek's thug, Black Shadow. Gone Too Far

Soon after the Waruder invasion, Axiom Nexus began losing contact with probes and, eventually, entire outposts; its influence had been reduced to just six popular cartoons and films main clusters. The entire armed forces were called up and placed on maximum alert. Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist
