The rest of the inhabitants of Cybertron treated the Badlands as a rubbish dump, but it served as a perfect hideout for Decepticons and other outlaws. Many Decepticons, including the Warlord Gutcruncher, had bases there. It was bisected by the Transmorpher Highway, which commuters used to get from one side to the other while keeping out of the filth. A Team Effort

Before the war against Shokaract, the Badlands were part of the territory of one of the old, proud city-states of Cybertron. It was destroyed by Shokaract's armies, which left it a ravaged infrastructure in a twisted, scarred landscape. On the flipside, underneath remained a labyrinthine sub-city, making the area an ideal refuge for those who opposed Shokaract's rule. Shokaract reacted on this by declaring the Badlands to be the training and proving ground for future Heralds.
One such future Herald, the Cub, one day searched the Badlands for his alpha target, the rebel known as the Veteran. Upon finding him, the two engaged in a savage battle from which the Cub did not emerge victorious, an event that eventually led to them merging into one being, Windrazor. Schism Because of the significance the Badlands thus held for them as the location of their first meeting, their two minds within Windrazor always opted to communicate within an imagination of the area.

The Badlands were located close to the core of Decepticon territory during the war, and as such, those Decepticons who rejected Autobot authority post-war had returned there, making the area dangerous to travel through. Unfortunately, Ironhide needed to do just that to get to and check in at the smelting plant. Cliffjumper agreed to escort him, which backfired when Tidal Wave attacked them, knocked out Cliffjumper and then used his life as leverage to force Ironhide to assist him in reactivating the seismic-shock warheads.

The Badlands were located on Cybertron's eastern hemisphere, below the Hydrax Plateau. This was where the lower castes worked in the mines and industrial cities of Kaon, Blaster City and Slaughter City, where gladiatorial combat began, and where Megatron created the Decepticons. Exodus
