Velocitron
Velocitron, otherwise known as the Speed Planet, was colonized by a group of spacefaring, trailblazing Cybertronians aboard the starship Ogygia eons ago. Racing is the order of the day for the denizens of the Speed Planet, and if you're not a racer or working for a racer or watching a race, you're not a Velocitronian.
The planet-spanning super-races the Speedia 500 and the Planet Cup are held on Velocitron, with the winner of the latter becoming the planet's ruler. Until the recent arrival of Autobots and Decepticons from Cybertron, Override held court (the first and only female Velocitronian to do so), but the leader of the planet was defeated in an upset by the impetuous Hot Shot.
The planet appears to be a primarily desert world, with most of the globe covered in seas of sand interspersed with rocky cliffs, though reportedly it has a "bayou" region that's a bit more swampy in nature. Huge superhighways and racetracks crisscross the surface, patrolled by colossal cleaning/repair drones.
Reportedly, Override has a private racetrack retreat roughly the size of Texas on Earth, which has been carefully manicured to her exacting specifications, with lush forests and more lining some of the most high-tech tracks on the entire planet.
Velocitron, like its three sister planets Gigantion, Jungle Planet, and Earth were threatened by the Unicron Singularity. Only the discovery of the planet's Cyber Planet Key, which over time had come to be used as the trophy for the Planet Cup race, could ensure its survival.
