- Dancitron is a location from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Fiction
The Transformers cartoon
It was also a front for some kind of a Decepticon plot, courtesy of Starscream and Soundwave. They used Soundwave's abilities to hypnotize patrons into building something large and mysterious. (How the housewives and businessmen that got hyp-mo-tised got to Dancitron in the first place is unknown.) As luck would have it, Raoul discovered that the hypnotism could be broken by getting its victims slightly wet once, forever immunizing the victim.
Dancitron was later destroyed as a result of a battle between Soundwave and Blaster, when the latter used the trumpet-speakers from the comically huge speaker system to boost his volume up to eleven. Hundred. Eleven hundred.
It wasn't a very good plan. Auto-Bop

The Dancitron was an event advertised in the Detroit Powell Press. Bands at that venue included Cold Slither, The Electric Insects, Dingos Ate My Baby, and many more. The AllSpark Almanac
Notes
- The name seems a likely reference to the real-life NYC club Danceteria.
Foreign names
