Noisemaze (dimension)
| This article is about the dimension from Generation 1. For the Galaxy Force character, see Sideways (Armada). |
- The Noisemaze is a dimension from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Mesothulas created the Noisemaze to be the ultimate form of incarceration. A portal doorway leads a prisoner within a "small pocket dimension assembled from harvested matter-gaps in the fabric of our universe." There, the prisoner is mentally destabilized, losing all sense of self as their senses are overloaded. It's... not a pleasant place. Lots of screaming.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
The Noisemaze's conception was a joint effort between Mesothulas and Prowl. While the two agreed to can the project in favor of the less brutal punishment of spark extraction, Mesothulas was too enamored with the idea to abandon it, and so completed it in secret. When it was finished, Mesothulas gleefully presented the portal to Prowl as a gift. This proved to be the last straw for Prowl, who'd been having second thoughts about their partnership and the various creations that had come of it. Mesothulas thus became the Noisemaze's first prisoner, hurled through the portal when Prowl destroyed his laboratory and all evidence of their collaboration.
Fortunately for Mesothulas, he'd installed a personal jumpgate into his body for this exact contingency. Unfortunately for Mesothulas, the Noisemaze's debilitating effects meant that it took centuries for him to remember it was there, and even longer to gather enough strength to activate it.
Much later, Mesothulas returned, now calling himself Tarantulas after the bio-disguise he now wore. Insulated from the Noisemaze by his new body, Tarantulas turned it into his new base of operations, and built a citadel at its center where he could continue his research. Sins of the Wreckers #3
