I feel the need for Speedia.

Velocitron, otherwise known as the Speed Planet, was colonized by a group of spacefaring, trailblazing Cybertronians aboard the starship Ogygia eons ago. Huge superhighways and racetracks crisscross the surface of this desert planet, patrolled by colossal cleaning and road repair drones.

Racing is the order of the day for the denizens of the Speed Planet, and if you're not a racer, working for a racer, or watching a race, then you're clearly not a Velocitronian. This is no planet for the slow-moving or bulky Cybertronians; everyone, from the enormous to the elderly transforms into some variety of high-powered racing vehicle. Even the slowest of Velocitronians can outrun most offworlders.

We believe in the wheel and the road.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:OverrideExiles|Override{{#if:Exiles|, Exiles|}}|}}

Fiction

Cybertron cartoon

Most of the globe was covered in seas of sand interspersed with rocky cliffs, though reportedly it had a "bayou" region that was a bit more swampy in nature. The Diablo Desert was part of an offroad race on Velocitron. It was a hazardous course wracked by sandstorms and a deadly "quicksand zone", whose vortices could appear without notice. Sand

The planet-spanning super-races, the Speedia 500 and the Planet Cup, were some of the most important events in Velocitronian society. So obsessed were the Velocitronians with speed that the winner of the Planet Cup would become the planet's ruler. Until the recent arrival of the Autobots and Decepticons from the forgotten world Cybertron, Override held court (the first and only female Velocitronian to do so), but she was defeated in an upset by the impetuous Hot Shot.

Velocitron, like its three sister planets Gigantion, Animatron, and Earth were threatened by the Unicron Singularity. Only the discovery of the planet's Cyber Planet Key, which over time had come to be used as the trophy for the Planet Cup race, could ensure its survival.

Velocitron was one of seven planets orbiting a dying yellow star an incredible distance away from Cybertron (to fly between the two without aid of a space bridge would take longer than the sum of Cybertronian history). The Velocitron system is about halfway out from the galactic core, in an area of space defined by a triad of star clusters. The star Velocitron circled was, on a planetary scale, near its end. The radiation emitted by the star created massive solar storms, severely disrupting communications on the planet.

During Cybertron's Golden Age, Velocitron was colonized by Transformers Exodus aboard the starship Ogygia and given its own miniature Well of All Sparks with a "torch". It was intended as a temporary project for racing enthusiasts, since the planet's scarce resources made long-term habitation impractical. When the Cosmic Rust plague resulted in the deactivation of every space bridge, the Velocitronians were stranded. With no way to re-establish contact with the rest of the galaxy, they slipped deeper and deeper into their speed obsession while they waited for a Prime to rescue them, using races to settle conflicts and shape politics. The Covenant of Primus

By the time Optimus Prime and his crew of Autobots aboard the Ark re-established contact with Velocitron, the Velocitronians had colonized the entire surface with a series of planet-spanning superhighways, with major cities built around nodal interchanges. While there were foundries, mines, factories and more, these were subordinated to the primacy of speed. The majority of the planet was re-engineered to provide a smooth ride. Few locations were spared this reconstruction and the Velocitronians showed little to no interest in those, limiting their maps entirely to the road systems. One area that remained natural is the southern magnetic pole, an area of jumbled sandy hills, windblown heights, and thin slot canyons where the ancient monolith that once served as a beacon for the local space bridge still stood, distorting space-time. The smooth, flat engineered surface of the planet, plains and desert allowed great windstorms to roar across the world, with little to ease or break their fury.

Velocitron's capital was the city of Delta, located at its equator. It also housed the racetrack dedicated to the Speedia, the great celebration-race which decided the most prominent citizens, and, on some occasions, even the political leaders of the planet. Velocitron's Transformers had a distinctive visual style to their construction, sporting exceptionally long limbs, elongated torsos, and streamlined bodies with aerodynamic armor. Optimus Prime noted that some had evolved into entirely new kinds of Transformer. Although built for speed, none of them could fly or transform into flying vehicles. Optimus Prime noted that the vast amount of resources spent on upgrading racers and racetracks may have contributed to Velocitron's resource shortage.

In order to rule the planet, Velocitron's leader must win the Speedia, Velocitron's foremost and most intense sporting event. Although rulers usually rule solo, the most recent race resulted in a tie, meaning that Override and Ransack were forced to grudgingly work together, although Ransack's desire to rule solo pushed the world to the brink of civil war. During the Autobot's time on the planet, Ransack finally made his play for power at the behest of "777" who had informed Ransack and his cadre of malcontents about the imminent arrival of Megatron. Velocitron finally collapsed into a violent civil war that was only exacerbated by the arrival of the Star Seekers and Megatron himself. Exiles
