- Simfur is a location on Cybertron from the 2007 film continuity family.
Eons ago, the first inhabitants of Cybertron built a city for themselves around the site where they had found and kept the AllSpark. When they disappeared, their servants inherited the world and eventually turned the oldest of cities into the Simfur of modern times. Though the Transformers have forgotten much about their oldest past, Simfur remains the resting place of the AllSpark, which is kept under guard in a temple.
The city of Metrotitan is located near Simfur.

- Locations
The area of Simfur was home to the Cybertronian lifeforms created by the AllSpark. When The Fallen destroyed the rest of his kin, he was stopped from completing his goals by the only one escaping his attack and locked into his sarcophagus, leaving Cybertron devoid of Primes. In their absence, the Transformers took control of the planet and over time made the old settlement around the AllSpark their city of Simfur. Defiance #4
As head of the Science Division, Optimus led an investigation into abnormal depth readings received near the Simfur Temple. This led to the discovery of multiple broken artifacts that quickly were discovered to be somehow linked to the AllSpark. Megatron took an interest in the discoveries and came with Optimus to the excavation site just when the first whole artifact was unearthened. As the two argued about what to do with it, Cybertron came under attack from aliens. Megatron ordered the artifact to be brought to his quarters and took off to lead the Defense Force into battle.
Simfur particularly came under siege, and Megatron was forced to help out Cliffjumper and Bumblebee, who were put on guard duty at the Simfur Temple. Defiance #1 In the end, the Defense Force drove off the aliens and the members of the Science Division got to the cleanup work. While the rest recovered the corpses of the aliens left behind in battle and tended to the victims, Prowl and Jazz investigated the damages done to the temple, deducing from it that the aliens had been after the AllSpark. Megatron came to the same conclusion and, under the influence of the artifact that was in fact The Fallen's sarcophagus, ordered for Cybertron to ditch its defense-only principles and actively annihilate the threat. Optimus disapproved of this and held a speech at Simfur for the Science Division not to follow Megatron. Defiance #2 This obviously did not sit well with Megatron, but he let it pass until The Fallen informed him Optimus had made use of his absence to break into his quarters and investigate the sarcophagus. Believing Optimus was a threat to his power, Megatron sent the Security Force to arrest him and his associates at the excavation site. Defiance #3
Out of these and following events arose two factions of Transformers: (The Fallen's) Megatron's Decepticons and Optimus Prime's Autobots. Megatron spent a lot of his time trying to reclaim Simfur, and more in particular the AllSpark. When he finally managed to defeat the Autobot forces at Simfur, it turned out to be still for naught as Optimus had had the AllSpark relocated. Movie Prequel #2
Notes
- Chris Ryall named Simfur after, of course, writer Simon Furman. This sort of thing happens sometimes.[1]
