Velocitron
Velocitron, otherwise known as the Speed Planet, was colonized by a group of spacefaring, trailblazing Cybertronians aboard the starship Ogygia eons ago. A primarily desert planet, 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 and road repair drones.
Racing is the order of the day for the denizens of the Speed Planet, and if you're not a racer, working for a racer, or watching a race, then you're clearly not a Velocitronian. This is no planet for the slow-moving or bulky Cybertronians; everyone, from the enormous to the elderly transforms into some variety of high-powered racing vehicle. Even the slowest of Velocitronians can outrun most offworlders.
The planet-spanning super-races the Speedia 500 and the Planet Cup are some of the most important events in Velocitronian society. So obsessed are the Velocitronians with speed that the winner of the Planet Cup will become the planet's ruler. Until the recent arrival of the Autobots and Decepticons from the forgoten world Cybertron, Override held court (the first and only female Velocitronian to do so), but she was defeated in an upset by the impetuous Hot Shot.
Velocitron, like its three sister planets Gigantion, Animatron, 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.
Known Velocitronians
Excellion may or may not be a native Velocitronian. Blurr exists in a weird quantum state in which he is either Blurr or a Velocitronian.
The planet is also home to a race commentator and at least one marching band.
