Badlands (Cybertron)

The Badlands is a location on Cybertron in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Badlands is what remained after Shokaract's armies destroyed one of Cybertron's city-states. The ravaged infrastructure of the area hides a labyrinthine sub-city underneath, making the region an ideal refuge for those who oppose Shokaract's rule. Shokaract, in turn, uses it as training and proving ground for future Heralds.
