Primal Basilica

The Primal Basilica is a location from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Primal Basilica on Cybertron serves as a place where the bodies of Matrix of Leadership holders are interned. The site is heavily guarded, as a fleet of Sky Spies provide security surveillance, and gluometric particles coat the air, scrambling onboard guidance systems and causing any ships to crash in a 25-mile radius. In addition, the Basilica's perimeter is guarded by the elite Triorian Guard.
