Kaon is a dirty city. No fault of its own, really. It’s an industrial center, and the smelting pools fill the atmosphere with a foul, oily smoke that leaves traces on everything. Not the most pleasant of places to live.
Even less pleasant of a place to die.
Considering how many Decepticons and Decepticon sympathizers frequent the city, you’d think the Enforcers would have an increased presence. That they’d keep crime down while focusing on political dissidents.
They don’t. When there’s a group of them together, the Enforcers show up and throw their weight around, but they do nothing to handle crimes. Especially not murders. That’s when mechs call me. I don’t have a badge. Not Autobot, not Decepticon, not Enforcer.
I never drop a case, I don’t care how powerful the perpetrator is, I always find the truth.
I love world-building and I have tons of headcanons that have nothing to do with anything but are just funny and cool things I’d like to add. This post is about a sub-genre of Cybertronian novels that I named “gladiator romance”, where true love is priceless and the object of the hero’s affection has nothing else to give.
@agatharights said: Kaon apparently still has Trypticon Prison and a still-active gladiatoral ring…which is…curious.
I forgot about Trypticon Prison. (Which is a bad move on the Autobot Council’s part honestly. “Let’s keep all of our enemies in their home! Ah ha! They’ll never escape now! This will never bite us in the bumper!”)
And yes… the gladiatorial ring is very curious…
I wonder who these “gladiators” are… especially so close to the Prison…
And I wonder who exactly approves of this…
I was gonna say “I think they just use it for like general sports and autobots now” but oh jeeze.
…listen, I think what’s important is that we can all agree that Kaon is a scrapheap no matter what.
No they do not. Not only did they exile all the Decepticons, but anytime they find one, they get thrown into the ruins of their former capital and are forced to watch Gladiator fights.
The Allspark only knows who exactly these gladiator are. Probably a couple of strong, “heroic” Autobots to represent the power of the Autobot Commonwealth, but possibly some unruly Decepticon prisoners.
