| The Iacon 5000 was Cybertron's top racing event, with [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] among the contestants, with a 500-mile circuit lapped 50 times. The Decepticons decided to add some 'spice' to it and now the winner is whoever is ''least'' damaged at the end.<ref>[[Source:Darn 'n' Blast#Issue 326|Darn 'n' Blast, issue 326]]</ref>

| |
| The Iacon 5000 was a city-wide race officiated by [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]] happening all across Iacon City on a self-forming track full of twists, turns, drops, and obstacles. The competition was as dangerous as it was prestigious – kicking or ramming other racers off the track were acceptable tactics, and [[Injured Racer|injuries]] were common. Miners were given the day off work on the day of the race so they could watch as well. [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]] roped himself and [[Megatron (One)|D-16]] into joining the race unannounced as it began, with the aim of showing all of Cybertron that miners were also capable of more than just menial labor. They almost succeeded in this seemingly impossible endeavor, approaching the finish line ahead of all other racers, but lost their near-victory when Orion went back to help an injured D-16 in the hopes of passing the finish line together. The pair were swiftly overtaken by [[Chromia (One)|Chromia]], who was announced winner... and seconds later, everyone else behind her. However, their efforts did not go unnoticed. Inspired by two of their own going toe to toe against the best racers of Iacon, the miners managed to achieve a 150% quota on their very next shift – an achievement that led Sentinel to commend the duo and promise them handsome rewards, though [[Darkwing (One)|things didn't go as planned.]] {{storylink|Transformers One (film)|One}}
