In response to a prompt: "In thought, memory, or feeling, what is or was your favourite place on Cybertron?"
 


What is my favourite place on Cybertron.. That’s a tough question to answer for myself, but honestly the answer really is smack in front of me. There is a place I often think of as my “retreat” or “getaway” within my headspace. I guess that I hadn’t really considered it such until now that I think about it.

It’s a high tower of strong Iaconian architecture. The gold rails rolling down in the unmistakable style of the era predating Cybertron’s civil war. I can only guess the tower would have also existed in Iacon’s upper city, but my memory of the place is fuzzy outside of its immediate perimeter. I can only imagine the significance of this place either coming from my early years spent in the illustrious city filled to the brim with Cybertron’s elite.. or of a time much later after those who forbid me the privilege of it were gone and dealt with.

Of course there was also Maccadam’s Old Oil House. I spent quite a bit of my free time there as well; another place to get away from it all and forget myself for how long I could. I had friends then. Or maybe just the one. A short red fella named Grid. We shared some good times there, and some bad ones. Mostly mediocre from what little shaninx we had to spend. This was after I had been moved to Vos, when I started to crave the sweet empty feeling high grade had to offer.

It’s difficult to settle my thoughts on one singular “favourite place” now. I really don’t have “one”, but a handful of meaningful locations that have stuck with me. Like the tunnels of Kaon, now those hold a special little crevice in my spark. They were secret of course, a labyrinth of haphazard structures built beneath the slum city-state. It made it so easy to get places unnoticed, to move and operate in the dark. It’s where I met Megatron and found the Decepticon cause.

I’ll stop myself there before I get too wisped away in thought. These places are my “top 3” favorites of Cybertron, and hold significantly to my life as cybertronian. If I could ever go back to them, I would in a spark rotation.
