Shadowzone (dimension)
| This article is about the dimension. For the episode in which it debuted, see Shadowzone (episode). |
- The Shadowzone is a location from the Prime cartoon portion of the Aligned continuity family.
The Shadowzone is an alternate dimension outside the main reality. Its existence means that anyone trapped within it is unable to interact with normal space as they are out of phase and seemingly encased in a limited amount of space.
Fiction
Prime cartoon
During a battle against Starscream, the activation of two simultaneous GroundBridges led to the portals feeding off each other at the same moment. Thus, Miko Nakadai, Jack Darby, Raf Esquivel, the Terrorcon Skyquake, and Starscream's severed arm got caught in the resulting explosion which catapulted all of them into a Shadowzone. Whilst Optimus Prime and the Autobots searched for their human friends, Jack managed to alert them of being trapped in an alternate dimension by sending a text to Miko's phone, which was left at the Autobot base. This allowed Ratchet to open a portal with the GroundBridge to allow the three humans to escape the Shadowzone, along with Skyquake's hand which had been chasing them. This left the trapped and undead Skyquake the remaining occupant of the Shadowzone. Shadowzone
Starscream later mentioned that Skyquake was likely still trapped in the Shadowzone while under a cortical psychic patch interrogation session, much to Dreadwing's shock. Patch
After Soundwave GroundBridged the Wreckers off the bridge of the Nemesis, Jack and Miko, the latter in the Apex Armor, boarded the ship. Soundwave attempted a repeat performance, giving Raf the opportunity to open a second GroundBridge, recreating the original accident and trapping the unwitting Decepticon in the Shadowzone. Deadlock

While repairing a GroundBridge, Fixit accidentally caused it to malfunction and open a portal to the Shadowzone. Soundwave emerged, and after trashing Team Bee he threw Bumblebee into the realm. Remembering what had happened last time, Bumblebee managed to contact Fixit via radio. From there, the other team members were able to get Soundwave to accidentally overlap his GroundBridge portals, opening another rift and allowing Bumblebee to return. Soundwave and Laserbeak were summarily defeated and thrown back into their prison. Portals
