Praxus is a city-state of Cybertron.
Fiction
Generation 1
It is one of the Tri-Peninsular Torus States.[1]
Dreamwave comics
- Locations
- The Assembly
- The Decepticon high command aerie
- The Helix Gardens
- Internment Camp Pi
One of its key locations was the Helix Gardens, where crystals were arranged in a beautiful manner to create a place of contemplation. It also hosted The Assembly, a "center of Autobot science, technology, art, philosophy and culture." Like so many others, Praxus went from shining metropolis to bombed-out wasteland during the course of the Great War. Praxus was the home of Prowl and Bluestreak.
Over the course of the war, the Decepticons devastated the city of Praxus. After the death of Sentinel Prime, Grimlock called Jazz, Prowl, and other Autobots to discuss the impending succession. Grimlock believed that the city served as a metaphor, about how the old ways were gone, and declared that Megatron had left them without options. He informed them that if the new Prime was not able to do what needed to be done, they would take over leadership of the Autobots... and if necessary, take out the new Prime.
What they got was Optimus Prime. The War Within #1 The Age of Wrath issue 2 The Age of Wrath issue 3 New World Order
Cybertron
The inhabitants of Jungle Planet have a card game they call Praxus Fold 'Em. One would reason that Praxus exists then, though whether the place is located on Jungle Planet or Cybertron is unclear. Brimstone's Cyber Key Code text
Live-action movies
If the Transformers RISK game is to be taken at face value, Praxus exists and lies inbetween the area where the smelting pool is located and Polyhex. The Launch Pad and Central City can be found some space aside from Praxus. Risk
Exodus novel
Praxus was a progressive state, its Helix Gardens a symbol of the Golden Age, and its Assembly was where scientists of Crystal City and Nova Cronum presented their findings. Many of its citiizens approved of Megatron's anti-caste system beliefs, but were disappointed by his militant direction, and feeling betrayed, he sent Seekers, Constructicons and Bruticus Maximus to attack. The Praxians threw in their support with the Autobots. With Praxus far from primary Decepticon territory, Megatron ran into the same supply problems as the Autobots normally did, and Praxus became the war's first stalemate. With thousands dead and the city ruined, Megatron conceeded defeat and his soldiers left.
It was at Praxus that Optimus Prime gained two indispensable allies in Ironhide and Prowl, and when Ratchet first entered the Covenant of Primus. Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron
Merchandise
- RISK TRANSFORMERS CYBERTRON Battle Edition (2007)
- Praxus is the purple rotatable zone on the board.
Notes
- Bluestreak's toy bio and Universe profile state that his home city was destroyed by Decepticons, with Universe adding that Bluestreak was the lone survivor, but neither give the city a name. Dreamwave filled the void by dubbing it Praxus for their continuity. Whether or not future continuities will keep to this or reassign Bluestreak's home to another location is yet to be seen.
