The planet Cybertron as depicted in Beast Machines.


Cybertron is the home planet of the Transformer race, and the main setting of all CTHS's shenanigans.

It's home to many different cities and metalscapes, and has a culture all its own.

The Cybertron in the CTHS universe is somewhere in between Earth's moon and Mars in terms of size, putting it in the ballpark of about 3000 miles in diameter, resulting in a somewhat naturally weak gravitational pull. Fortunately, giant alien robots are clever creatures, and they've not only figured out how to amend this, but also strengthen the pull enough to keep two small satellites (Tau and Upsilon) in its orbit.

History

Cybertronian Origin

For being a race of walking computers, it's quite surprising to find that the inhabitants of Cybertron don't really know how they came to be. "Where did we come from?" has been a question that many generations of scientists and historians have been trying to answer, and despite their best efforts, clues seem to be few and far between. However, even with little factual evidence to point in any one direction, the one thing experts can agree on is that they had to come about by one of three means: evolution, mortal engineering, or divine engineering. Evolution is the least likely. There is nothing to support this theory, especially considering that evolution has only been observed in biological creatures with far shorter lifespans. As for the last two, there is just as much evidence to support them as evolution; the only difference is that there doesn't seem to be anything to contradict either theory.

Cybertronian Government

Cybertron has been, for countless generations, ruled by a leader called a Prime. He (or she) is elected by a mandate from the masses via popular majority. Elections for a new Prime occur once every 40 stellar cycles, and they may retain their position in office for no more than 5 terms. To offset what could potentially be a disastrous situation, the power of the Prime is balanced by a second body called The Council. The members of the council are ancient, non-transforming robots, shrouded in secrecy and ritual. They are said to have a seat until they die or retire, but there has not been a death or retirement of a council member so long as anyone can remember.
