Trypticon (Movie)

It's a great place, all it needs is a pool and we're set.

The city of Trypticon is the capital of Cybertron. It's remained surprisingly intact during the war, considering the Decepticons have claimed it as their headquarters.

Fiction

IDW movie comics

Within a day after the revival of the AllSpark, Sentinel Prime informed Optimus of his wish to see him take the role of ruler of their reunited planet and asked him to travel to Trypticon with him to make it official. Foundation #1 Optimus declined because he believed he could help Cybertron flourish in ways better suited to his skills. Sentinel Prime accepted his decision, suggesting that Optimus and Megatron would become co-rulers of Cybertron instead, which Optimus did agree to. Had Megatron not overheard the entire conversation and felt decidedly betrayed, that would've been a good arrangement. But for the time being, Megatron kept quiet about his discovery.

Three solar cycles later, Cybertron was officially declared unified at Trypticon, where the Cybertronian population had gathered on Sentinel Prime's invitation. Trypticon was declared the new capital of the planet, followed by the appointment of Optimus as head of the Science Division and Megatron as head of the Defense Force. Foundation #2 Megatron set up office in Trypticon, but it's unknown if Optimus did so too.

Ironhide and Starscream had an appointment with Megatron, but Starscream was held up near the Eshems Nebula by a scoutship of a hostile alien fleet. When he finally got to Trypticon, Ratchet patched his minor injuries and Ironhide pulled him along to Megatron's office. Optimus was present when he arrived, discussing the latest findings of the Science Division with Megatron, but ended it so the two arrivals could report on Defense Force activity. Interest piqued by Optimus's report, Megatron travelled to the excavation site near Simfur and arrived just when the Science Division found the first whole specimen of ancient artifacts that had been littered around the site. As Megatron and Optimus argued over what to do with, the aliens of the Eshems Nebula attacked. Megatron ordered the Science Division to dig up the artifact and bring it to his quarters in Trypticon, where it would be safe. Optimus reluctantly obeyed the order.

Once the battle was as good as won and Megatron had sustained some bad injuries, he dragged himself back to his quarters, feeling the artifact call to him. Defiance #1 When he had recovered, the artifact spoke to him, revealing itself to be The Fallen, one of the original Primes. The Fallen promised Megatron power if he would serve him and Megatron accepted greedily. When shortly after Optimus knocked on Megatron's doors to talk about the nature of the alien assault, Megatron ordered him to get his Science Division in gear and prepare to eradicate the threat of the aliens. Optimus opposed the idea, believing it went against Cybertron's ideals to actively seek combat, but Megatron refused to hear his arguments. And because the crisis Cybertron currently was in granted him hierarchical superiority over Optimus, he didn't have to either. Later that day, Megatron held his pre-battle rallying speech at Trypticon for all who were willing to fight. Then they took off to the Eshems Nebula, while those that had decided against fighting went to work on repairing what damage the aliens had caused with their assault.

Optimus made use of Megatron's absence to get into his quarters and find out what was causing his recent aggressive behavior. Defiance #2 He found the artifact Megatron had confiscated earlier in a far better condition than in which it had been handed to him, but before he could take a better look, Prowl warned him Megatron was on his way back. And naturally, when Megatron returned to his quarters, The Fallen told him all about Optimus's trespassing. Megatron decided it was time to dispose of Optimus before his former friend would dispose of him and arranged for him and his followers to be assassinated at Metrotitan. The plot did not yield the desired results, but later that night at Trypticon, Megatron could use the battered state in which his soldiers returned as "evidence" that Optimus and his kind were out to destroy the Defense Force. He asked his followers to join him in a greater quest, to deny Cybertronian society such as it was and become the warriors they were once more. Under loud cheering, Megatron announced that now they were a new faction, the Decepticons! Defiance #3 Foundation #3

• According to The Reign of Starscream trade paperback, one draft of the script had the replica AllSpark accidentally turn the city into a huge frikkin' robot.
