Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon

After the battle against Unicron, the Autobots successfully drove away all the Decepticons occupying Cybertron. With Galvatron missing, the Decepticons became directionless and chose to seek refuge on the burned-out world of Chaar.

The Decepticons nearly starved to death on the wasteland of a planet, until Cyclonus and Scourge successfully retrieved Galvatron from his resting place on Thrull. Reinvigorated, the Decepticons gradually transformed the planet into a suitable place to live, with cities and battle stations.

Trivia

• Chaar (possibly with a different spelling) is also the name of a volcanic ash world in the computer game <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcraft" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Starcraft">Starcraft</a>, which the villains of the game, an insectoid species called the Zerg, use as an intergalactic hideout. Makes you wonder if Blizzard's programmers are G1 fans?
