Gobotron

Gobotron is a planet from the GoBots continuity family.

Gobotron is Primus's incarnation for the universal streams labelled Gargent. One would be unsurprised to know that the planet is home to transforming machines who are having a civil war, but these guys are actually the cyborg GoBots, with the Guardians' police force protecting from the constant Renegade insurgencies. It is known for its abundance of moons, including a prison moon, a knowledge moon, a fortress moon, a picnic moon, a spa moon, the moon of fire, the moon of shadows, four industrial moons (Zeta 1-Zeta 4), a communication moon (that Cy-Kill once stole for 48 hours), and a few unnamed others. The capital city is Gobotolis, which is protected by the Gobotron Fortress.

Fiction

Timelines

When a Cataclysm began to threaten the very existence of the universe, the inhabitants of Gobotron ceased their conflict, united with Earth, and held an emergency summit. It was decided to send a combined team to the 22nd Level, the dimension causing the disaster, and try to reverse the damage. Withered Hope

In universal stream Gargent 984.08 Alpha, Gobotron is the body of Primus. It was menaced by the Unicron of this universe, who had taken a body with an organic brain a la the GoBots themselves. Unicron would, somehow, get kicked out into another universe. The AllSpark Almanac II

The Evil One, this reality's version of Megatronus Prime, nearly destroyed Gobotron with the Dark Heart. He was eventually trapped under the Nazca Lines on Earth.

Later, the Renegades arose as a faction that, according to Cy-Kill sought to overthrow the unjust reign of the Guardians. Unwilling to concede defeat, the Guardians destroyed their planet with an asteroid strike. This necessitated the surviving population place their minds inside robotic bodies, called GoBots. The war for the planet continued to this day.

Gobotron had a prison moon. Cy-Kill intentionally got himself captured so as to free the Renegades inside. Later, Gunnyr and Bug Bite were held here and also freed by Cy-Kill.

In a different reality, a fake attack on Gobotron lured nearly all Guardians off Earth, leaving it undefended when the Renegades enacted an Embargo Field and prompting them to call on their extra-dimensional allies, the Spy Changers. Ask Vector Prime
