Paradron
Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAR : Paradron
Paradron was a fictional planet in the Transformers cartoon series. Appearing in the episode "Fight or Flee", Paradron was a colony world that closely resembled the Transformer homeworld of Cybertron. The planet was hidden behind a space vortex, and was settled by pacifist Autobots and they were led by Autobot triple changer Sandstorm seeking to escape the wars that plagued Cybertron. Unfortunately, the planet was discovered by Cyclonus and Scourge of the Decepticons. They informed Galvatron that the planet had a large resource of energy. Galvatron and the other Decepticons soon rejoined with Cyclonus and Scourge and then they took control of the planet and enslaved all Autobots except for Sandstorm who managed to escape but his ship's systems began to malfunction and he radioed for help. The Autobots heard it and later on Cybertron Sandstorm told them about Paradron. Rodimus Prime gave the order to put together a strike force but Blurr told them that the Decepticons knew that Sandstorm had escaped and they probably had a trap prepared, so they made use of a decoy ship to fool the Decepticons into thinking they had been obliterated by planetary defences. Later, the Autobots freed the Paradronians and Sandstorm managed to convice them to fight back. Rodimus Prime finally gave the order to destroy the planet but Sandstorm didn't want to do it. Rodimus told him if the Decepticons stayed on Paradron then every planet in the universe would be vulnerable. Ultra Magnus and Sandstorm then planted a bomb in the planet's energon core, Ultra Magnus commenting that the core was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen- and immediately telling Sandstorm to hand him the bomb. Galvatron tried to stop them from escaping, although they withdrew successfully. Galvatron called them cowards as they fled, but knowing that Ultra Magnus was not a coward he realised that something was wrong. He then ordered all Decepticons to abandon the planet. The Autobots were on a nearby asteroid and saw the Decepticons retreat as Paradron was obliterated. The citizens of Pardron were relocated to Cybertron, although they were never seen again in the series.
In the scripts contained on the third season DVD release, the Decepticons had been planning to construct a weapon on Paradron that would have been so powerful it could have obliterated Cybertron, leading to the Autobots' deciding to destroy the entire planet so quickly.
Paradron also appeared in the Dreamwave Productions "Micromasters" comic book mini-series.
