Acid Wastes
The Acid Wastes span most of the Stanix region in south-west Cybertron. They are a blasted, unforgiving landscape; contaminated by neutronic fallout, wracked by earthquakes, freak weather conditions, and of course acid rain.
The neutronic fallout in the Acid Wastes can produce severe allergic reactions in some Transformers.
