Iacon, the majestic capital of Cybertron before the all-out war. Iacon: political center and symbol of stability
Iacon was not just a megacity. It concentrated the institutions, assemblies, and major decisions of Cybertron.
- Seat of civil power.
- Global administrative center.
- A city designed to last forever.
Where other cities embodied industry or research, Iacon embodied continuity.
The fall of Iacon marks the end of the illusion of Cybertronian stability. When war reaches the heart of Cybertron
When war breaks out, Iacon becomes an obvious target. Destroying it would strike at the very idea of a united Cybertron.
- Collapse of central power.
- The end of institutional neutrality.
- The capital was transformed into a battlefield.
From that moment on, the war no longer concerns just factions… but an entire civilization.
Iacon in Autobot memory
For the Autobots, Iacon represents what needed to be protected.
- An order based on law.
- A society before radicalization.
- A possible future, now lost.
Leaders like Optimus Prime still bear the symbolic weight of this fall: defending the universe, after failing to protect their own capital.
Iacon as a strategic Decepticon target
For the Decepticons, Iacon's value was not only military.
- Destroy the symbol of order.
- To prove that nothing is untouchable.
- To impose the law of the strongest.
Figures like Megatron understood that taking down Iacon meant shattering the very idea of legitimacy.
