- The Toraxxis mega-refinery is a facility from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Located in the remote Toraxxis Plains of Cybertron, the Toraxxis mega-refinery is one of the planet's largest sources of energon, having an output of 8 billion megaliters of energy per production cycle. Bafflingly, it's got very poor security for such an important location: at night, the entire refinery is protected only by its permacrete walls and a single guard in control of a group of sentry drones.

With Cybertron suffering from a massive energon shortage early in the war, the Toraxxis mega-refinery was the last major energy source remaining on the planet. Hired by an unnamed client, the Dynobots broke into the refinery to rob it of energon, killing the overconfident guard in the process. Wreckage Just as they were finishing up, however, Scorponok arrived with his Decepticons, having planned to capture the Toraxxis mega-refinery to power the Decepticon army and force their enemies to fight over the few scraps of energon they could find. In response, Grimlock triggered the refinery's alarms, alerting the Autobots to the attack. Faces of Darkness Grimlock defeated Scorponok within the facility's interiors only to be threatened with arrest by Optimus Prime, who saw his Dynobots as a threat. Desperate, the Dynobot leader threatened to deactivate the refinery's fusion-regulator, which would overload the fusion-core and destroy Toraxxis and everything around it. He was talked out of it by Prime, only for Scorponok to mock his compassion and leap upon the regulator, deactivating it in his stead. Rage The resulting explosion could be seen from space and not only killed thousands of Cybertronians, but also robbed Cybertron of a vital source of energon, forcing many more to abandon their planet.
