Before being associated with the Decepticons, Kaon was already a harsh city. An industrial zone, overpopulated and marginalized, it concentrated a population deprived of political power and recognition.

- Strong social pressure.
- A feeling of abandonment by the elites.
Unlike prestigious cities like Iacon or Praxus, Kaon embodied the dark side of Cybertronian society.
