The Autobot Orbital Command Hub is the central base of Autobot operations in their galactic war against the Decepticons. A massive space station, it orbits the planet Opulus.[1]
It is on the Hub that Autobots unassigned to warfront planets are stationed, waiting on-hand in the event that they'll be needed. From these Autobots a crew can be assembled quickly to man one of the Arks.
Due to the pan-galactic nature of the war, the Autobots also use regional command hubs. Spotlight: Cyclonus

[edit]2005 IDW continuity
[edit]A priority pulsewave from Earth reached Optimus Prime on the Hub Stormbringer #1 just moments before a message buoy was received from the Calabi-Yau. He gathered Autobots from the Hub to crew the Ark-27 and left for Cybertron. Stormbringer #2
With Prime on Earth, Silverbolt became Operational Commander. A salvaged Blaster, having been presumed dead, arrived at the Hub and carried out a galaxy-wide broadcast to Autobot forces in order to draw out his attempted assassin. Spotlight: Blaster
When the Decepticons initiated a major offensive, the Command Hub was cut off from communicating with other Autobots, and may have come under attack. Lost & Found
