Ki-Aleta

This article is about the planet from Generation 1. For the Autobot stronghold from the live-action film series, see Ky-Alexia.

Ki-Aleta is not the most hospitable of worlds. Storms charged with ionic energy run loose on its barren silicon steppes, creating interference that renders scanning equipment practically useless.

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

In the years prior to the Great War, Ki-Aleta was home to Omega Guardians. After becoming on speaking terms with the aliens, Senator Shockwave came to believe that an artifact in their possession, the Magnificence, was in fact one of the legendary Knights of Cybertron, theorizing that the Knights had once stopped off at Ki-Aleta with the wisest of them staying behind to study. The Omega Guardians eventually "ascended" but left the Magnificence buried in the Omega Bunker guarded by fearsome drones named after themselves. The Ties That Bind

During the Great War, Hot Rod led a team of Autobots to Ki-Aleta in search of the Magnificence, and located it inside the Omega Bunker on the planet's surface. Spotlight: Hot Rod While the team was betrayed by Dealer, Hot Rod escaped with the Magnificence and hid it on top of a giant rock formation before leaving the planet. Many years later, he and Dealer returned to Ki-Aleta to retrieve the artifact. After using it to learn of Dealer's betrayal, Spotlight: Doubledealer Hot Rod then took the Magnificence off-world and had it sent to Garrus-9 for safekeeping. The Ties That Bind
