Badlands (Cybertron)

The Badlands is a location on Cybertron in the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Badlands is the region under domain of Kaon. During the reign of Shokaract, the proud city-state was destroyed by his armies. The remaining 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.
