Sonic Canyons
The Sonic Canyons are located on the southern side of Cybertron. The deafening sound of the planet's underground machinery wells up from their depths and loudly echoes up to the surface. The noise in turn causes a constant deluge of scrap metal to come tumbling down, making the canyons' direct environment particularly inhospitable.[1] Nonetheless, densely populated settlements have risen, and the Transformers living there, such as the Autobot Siren, [2] have adapted perfectly. Among the rest of the population, the people of this heavily industrialized section of Cybertron are characterized by their toughness, their no-nonsense attitude and their loud, loud voices.[3]
Few are aware the Sonic Canyons function as Primus' sensory organs. Their resonating structures allow him to collect data from across the galaxy, which is then processed into a more meaningful format by the Vector Sigma supercomputer.[4]
