Wastelands

The Wastelands is an area on Cybertron from the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Wastelands is an uninhabited area on Cybertron. The ravages of war have left it a power-depleted dead zone, where unexploded mines and other leftover dangers await their unfinished business. Still, its unappealing nature has made it a popular hideout for various groups of Cybertronians that have an interest in staying far away from the conventions of society.

The Mini-Con Zapmaster had been living in the Wastelands on the southern hemisphere of Cybertron for most of his life and the daily struggle for survival he experienced there had formed him into a fearless and merciless fighter. So when once he stumbled upon a lone bulk dwelling aimlessly through the Wastelands, he tried to rob him. This bulk, however, was Thundercracker, who had recently deserted from the Decepticon ranks. He took Zapmaster out with ease, but chose not to kill him out of respect for his courage and subsequently teamed up with him. Zapmaster's More Than Meets The Eye profile Thundercracker set up base with his new companion in the Wastelands for a time, then returned with him to Cyber City.

Notes

• Due to its war-related origins, the Wastelands were not detailed in Transformers: The Ultimate Guide. Therefore, the exact location of the area is not clear cut, but for all intents and purposes seems to be in the northern hemisphere. It is possible that for Thundercracker's and Zapmaster's More Than Meets The Eye entries, the Wastelands were mistaken for the Badlands, an area The Ultimate Guide indicated to be located in the southern hemisphere.
