Fiction
Dreamwave Comics continuity
The Forge is shown to be where Megatron trained the majority of the Decepticons, as well as applying extensive physical and psychological conditioning, bodily modification, and branding, all under the heavily bribed nose of Emirate Xeon. It's here that Grimlock met Starscream. It's also rumored that the repeated abuse seared a few new subroutines into Starcream's fetish processors.
IDW Comics continuity
In this continuity, the Forge is originally shown to be an illegal gladitorial arena deep within Kaon, however once Prowl and his foces start to close in the locations of the fights is changed each time, with the Constructicons building the arena on an ad-hoc basis. They were also seen using a portable smelting pool to melt down an empty for the foundation. It is unclear if each of these arenas were deignated "The Forge" in turn or if that designation was unique to the original arena. Megatron Origin, Part 2
