Marvel Comics

Generation 1

When the Autobot contingent led by Fortress Maximus arrived from Nebulos to Earth, they sought contact with the Autobots of Earth who were aboard the Ark, led at that point by the Dinobot Grimlock. Instead of marshaling their forces, their first meeting degenerated into a duel over leadership under the Autobot Code of Combat, with the Moon picked as a neutral location. As Grimlock faced off against the injured Fortress Maximus's proxy Blaster, the Ratbat led Decepticons ambushed the Autobots. While the combined efforts of the Autobots allowed them to defeat their attackers, the Ark was crippled and with Steelhaven having left to rebuild Optimus Prime, both groups were trapped on Earth's satellite.Totaled!

In a bout of extreme emo-ness depression brought on by the death of Ratchet, Optimus Prime ordered the Ark landed on the Moon to allow him walk and brood alone there. Yesterday's Heroes!

In an attempt to hijack Earth's airwaves and cripple the Humans ability to communicate with each other, Megatron had a base built on the Moon. After Blaster and Cosmos were captured, Blaster sent music over Megatron's transmissions let the Autobots learn where they were. After driving off the Decepticons, Blaster commandeered the base to use it to hang. Blaster Blues

Later, the Autobots and the Decepticons were fighting on the Moon when a mysterious voice summoned Sky Lynx, Trypticon, the Dinobots, the Predacons, the Terrorcons, and the animal form cassettes to battle Tornadron. Call of the Primitives

Armada

The Mini-Con ship, Exodus, crash landed on the Moon, scattering its stasis-locked passengers all over Earth. Later, the Decepticons would set up a base inside the derelict ship from where they would teleport to various locations on Earth to search for the Mini-Cons.

Alexis, Carlos and Rad would later end up on the Moon when they were accidently teleported there during a fight. Apparently, by 2010 the moon has a breathable atmosphere but no other alterations or terraforming, as the kids are able to move about and talk, despite the fact that they should have asphixiated within minutes.
