Paradron


 * Paradron is a planet in the TFU and "Shattered Glass" universes.

Paradron is an Autobot colony hidden away from the wars that plagued Cybertron.

Mainstream Universe
Paradron was a lost Autobot colony accessible through a space vortex. The Autobots who inhabited the planet are complete pacifists.

One of Paradron's Autobots, Sandstorm, became bored with the eternal tranquility of Paradron, and left the colony, seeking adventure. Returning to Cybertron, he found action a-plenty, and was quickly recruited by the Wreckers.

Shattered Glass
In the Shattered Glass universe, Paradron is a barren rock, devoid of energy, usual materials, or technology. When Emperor Prime launched his attack across Cybertron, many Autobots, Decepticons, and neutrals fled the planet. Some hid on Paradron, thinking its strategic uselessness would allow them to escape Prime's attention. They were wrong.

Prime launched an attack, predominantly to prove that no one was beyond his grasp. Arriving on Paradron, he ordered an immediate, unconditional surrender to all hiding their. The cowardly Sandstorm immediately surrendered, begging Prime for forgiveness. After several weeks in the Agonizing Rehabilitation Chamber, Sandstorm's life was spared; every other resident of Paradron was slain, and their tiny colony razed to the ground.

It was during this mission that Ultra Magnus attempted his coup against Emperor Prime. It was foiled thanks to the intervention of Jetfire), and Prime marooned Magnus on Paradron, leaving him with a tiny supply of fuel, his pistol, and one energy-charge should Magnus decide to kill himself when his energon ran out.

When Prime returned to Cybertron, he flung rebel ringleader Alpha Trion into his own partially-contructed Stellar Spanner. Rebel minions Blurr and Hound he spared, sentencing them to extensive torture in the Agonizing Rehabilitation Chambers and stripping them of their Elite Guard status, but otherwise allowing them to live for now.
