Darkmount is an ancient fortress on Cybertron, the capitol of Decepticon-controlled Polyhex. It was built long ago around the caldera of a great magma plume welling up from the center of Cybertron. For a period of time during the Great War it was the seat of power for Lord Straxus, who fed dissenters to the smelting pool, a cauldron of magma which sat menacingly in Darkmount's shadow.[1] The smelting pool empties through ducts into a canyon which Darkmount overlooks.[2]

To keep the Decepticons from using the new Space Bridge, Blaster's group of resistance fighters, led by Perceptor, orchestrated a siege on Darkmount.
