Cybertron is a giant metallic planet that is the homeworld of the Cybertronians, also known as the Transformers, a race of mechanical beings able to convert their physical forms between robot mode and various alt-modes. Fourth planet orbiting the star Hadean (alternatively known as Shaula of the Scorpius Constellation by Earthlings), Cybertron is a world that has the same size as Earth's neighbor Saturn. Composed almost entirely of metallic ore of varying properties, Cybertron possesses a light oxygen-based atmosphere that's suitable for the cooling needs of mechanical-based life, as well as most carbon-based lifeforms like Earthlings and Nebulons.

Cybertron's true origins remain unknown at the current time, but chronometric dating suggests that the planet was formed over 10 billion years ago. Cybertronian religious sects hold that Cybertron and the entirety of the Hadean System was divinely ordained by the Transformer creator-god Primus. However, archeological discoveries of ancient ruins within the Sea of Rust encouraged the idea that Cybertron was once the homeworld of a space-faring civilization of organic humanoids that are only known as "the Ancients" by their Cybertronian successors. It's heavily believed that the Ancients was responsible for creating Space Bridge technology, which is used by Transformers to move from one planet to another almost instantaneously without the need for a spacecraft, via a "short-cut" through the extradimensional realm of unspace.

Cybertron has four moons. The inner moons, Hecate and Artemis, are the largest of the four, while the outer moons, Selene and Cyberion, are smaller than their twins. Each moon has its own atmosphere and their density leads them to have a level of gravity similar to Cybertron itself. All four moons are home to the Minicon population and are considered states in their own right.

The interior of Cybertron is as poorly understood by existing scholars as the planet's origins. Underneath the surface is a complex system of tunnels and machinery that also plays home to the various subterranean creatures who have not seen the light in eons. Several of these tunnels occasionally lead to either the Plasma Energy Chamber, a reservoir of plasma energy that is used to create the bodies of Cybertronians, and Vector Sigma, the living supercomputer that grants sentience to new Cybertronians. At Cybertron's core is the Ignition Chamber, which once housed the AllSpark before it was moved to the Simfur Temple before the Autobot-Decepticon Great War and what legend says to be the resting place of Primus after his battle with Unicron.

Being a machine world, Cybertron is completely metallic, with varying landscapes and ecosystems. Large swaths of land that aren't inhabited by the futuristic cities of its intelligent inhabitants are untamed wilderness composed of vast metallic plains that go on as far as the eye can see, with mountains so tall that they can block out the sun. These continental places are separated by deep, jagged chasms that reach deep into the planet, the deepest being the Sonic Canyons. Cybertron has water, but not in great abundance and most of it is gathered in the planet's only body of water, the Mithril Sea. This is not to be confused with the Sea of Rust, which is an area of unstable planetary matter and molecular flux.

Cybertron's territory is traditionally broken into large, self-governing city-states that follow the lead of the head government based in Iacon. These city-states are:

Iacon [current planetary capital]

Crystal City [former planetary capital]
Nova Cronum
Praxus
Altihex
Tyger Pax
Protihex
Uraya
Rodion
Helex
Tesarus
Polyhex

Ambustus Minor
Thetacon
Metrotitan
Little Iacon
Technahar
Cybertropolis
Axiom Nexus
Last Spark
Hive City [abandoned Quintesson settlement]
Subterrania [abandoned Quintesson settlement]

The denizens of the planet Cybertron are among the most powerful and gifted lifeforms, mechanical or otherwise, in the known universe. Possessing the ability to convert their bodies into different forms for the purposes of disguise, warfare, infiltration, and countless other uses, their potential only limited by their imagination.

The Transformers are the dominant lifeform on this planet; intelligent mostly humanoid robotic beings who have quickly become the most advanced race on Cybertron. They live in city-states located across the planet, from the moderately swell regions in Iacon to the less mech-friendly Badlands that harbor some of the worst working conditions for a mechanoid there is. Thanks to their transformation ability, they have quickly adapted to Cybertron's ever-changing environment. Their main form of government is a planetary senate consisting of representatives from each city-state and the ruling Prime who oversees the planet's defenses.

Though Cybertron is inhabited mostly by its intelligent dominant citizens, the Transformers, other forms of life also exists in Cybertron's wilderness. Despite having little in the way of animal life, the mechanimals that roam the unpopulated areas of the planet are numerous and also have the ability to transform, which is a crucial element of Cybertronian life. These mechanimal species can range from the nimble Turbofoxes and equine Thunderhooves to the elegant Deatheagles, vicious Pneuma-lions and the Alloygators. Cybertron's mysterious underground network is also home to its fair share of critters, many very dangerous than the life above ground. Here, the infamously metal-eating parasitic Scraplets call the deep caves their home, often clashing with the semi-intelligent Insecticons and Arachnicons over territory.

The standard Cybertronian begins life as little more than an embryonic mass of partially formed circuits: a protoform. Protoforms are formed from living metal (also known as bio-chanic, protomatter, technomatter, sentio metallico, birth metal, cyber-matter, Sparked metal, elemental metal, and Transformium), the living metal of Cybertron. Newborn protoforms initially resemble simple geometric shapes such as circles or cones, although they develop more defined features related to their future alternate modes. Cybertronian protoforms are stored in stasis pods filled with a nutrient gel that nurtures and protects the fledgling circuits. Before protoforms were nurtured like this, all Cybertronian life spawned directly from Cybertronian itself, maturing from protoform to adult without the aid of machines.

NOTE: Transformers Beyond is a Generation 1 reboot fanfic series that collects large amounts of lore from multiple continuities, especially the Marvel and IDW comics, Transformers Animated, and the Aligned continuity, and blends them into a new story inspired by classic G1 mythos, utilizing evergreen character designs.
