Paradron
Paradron is an Autobot colony initially hidden away from the wars that plagued Cybertron.
Fiction
The Transformers cartoon
Paradron was a lost Autobot colony accessible through a space vortex. It was discovered when Cyclonus and Scourge fled through the hole from the Aerialbots. Upon arriving, the Decepticons found that the Autobots which inhabited the planet were complete pacifists of the worst sort, and easily conquered them.
Enslaved by the Decepticons, a handful of Paradron's Autobots, led by Sandstorm, contacted Cybertron looking for help. The Autobots, under the command of Rodimus Prime, sought to liberate the planet, but found it impossible to retake. Rather than risk such an energy-rich planet falling into the hands of the Decepticons, the planet was evacuated and Ultra Magnus detonated its energon core, destroying it.
The survivors of Paradron were relocated to Cybertron, where Rodimus Prime hoped that they would learn that their freedoms had to be defended in order to be kept. Fight or Flee
Dreamwave Generation 1 comics
Paradron was attacked by a Decepticon unit led by Skystalker, who massacred most of its population. Countdown and Groundshaker followed him and defeated him near the planet's core. Strangely, they found that the inhabitants of Paradron were nigh-identical to those of Cybertron, and an ancient Transformer insignia was seen adorning a door. Destined for Nothing Though the two worlds had no known history of communicating with each other, Countdown would discover a Golden Disk on Paradron, containing what was apparently a wealth of Cybertronian information, including an accurate prediction of the evolution of Micromaster technology.

The AllSpark Almanac
Paradron was a world in the Autobot Commonwealth. It was conquered by Decepticons early in the Great War, and though resistance cells were formed, they were brutally dealt with. During the Autobots' planet-hopping campaign to liberate their planets, Paradron was destroyed as a part of the Energon Wars subconflict. The AllSpark Almanac II
Wings Universe
Early in the Great War, a ship containing Landshark, Sprocket, and a couple of medics left Cybertron for another planet. En route, they named their new home Paradron after a word from old literature meaning "peace". Battle Lines, Part 6
Notes
- In Japan, a same-character redeco of Arcee was released as a special exclusive during the Super Link line, labeled as "Paradron Type" Arcee, and in colors that recalled the Paradron Medic. The fictional implications as to what "Paradron" means within the Unicron Trilogy are incredibly vague at best.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Paradron (パラドロン Paradoron)
