Styx

Styx is a Decepticon penal colony from the Generation 1 continuity family.

One of the best Decepticon prisons in the galaxy and it gets beaten by a computer program.

A small ice and snow-covered moon orbiting a vast gas giant is home to the Decepticon penal colony called Styx. Of all such installations it is the harshest and most brutal. Prisoners sent to Styx have a short life-expectancy and may be better off for that. The penal colony is said to be impregnable.

Gutcruncher was stationed there for a time, before he was on Banzaitron's team. He was later almost deactivated by the Monstructor Six when they were stolen from Garrus-9 and reactivated by Jhiaxus.
