Before the war against Shokaract, the Badlands were part of the territory of one of the old, proud city-states of Cybertron. It was destroyed by Shokaract's armies, which left it a ravaged infrastructure in a twisted, scarred landscape. On the flipside, underneath remained a labyrinthine sub-city, making the area an ideal refuge for those who opposed Shokaract's rule. Shokaract reacted on this by declaring the Badlands training and proving ground for future Heralds.
One such future Herald, the Cub, one day searched the Badlands for his alpha target, the rebel known as the Veteran. Upon finding him, the two engaged in a savage battle that the Cub did not emerge victorious out of, an event that eventually led to them merging into one being, Windrazor. Schism Because of the significance the Badlands thus held for them as the location of their first meeting, their two minds within Windrazor always opted to communicate within an imagination of the area.

The Badlands are located close to the core of Decepticon territory during the war and as such, those Decepticons that rejected Autobot authority post-war had returned there, making the area dangerous to travel through. Unfortunately, Ironhide needed to do just that to get to and check in at the smelting plant. Cliffjumper agreed to escort him, which backfired when Tidal Wave attacked them, knocked out Cliffjumper and then used his life as leverage to force Ironhide to assist him in reactivating the seismic-shock warheads.
