So, I'm guessing that this is some sort of Cybertronian Alcatraz? That is awesome.

Makes me wonder what Animated Scorpinok would be: a science facility for potentially unethical experiments? Toxic waste storage, hence poisonous connotations of the name?

Looks like the perfect place to have some TFA style Sharkticons lurking around. What do you want to bet that those are the guards they're talking about? Either them or something along the lines of the Quint's Executioner bot and more gator styled Guard robots. All 3 variations would make for an awesome prison force and would look delightfully wicked done in TFA style.

Ha! I like that! If I were to write a story using this, I would think that the ultimate prison break-- would be to escape using the prison itself!!!

If it's a prison that is (presumeably) controlled by the Autobots, then they certainly chose odd colors based on their other buildings and structures. If however, it's a Decepticon prison to hold Autobots in, understandable. Either way, it looks very nice.

It's the former. The Autobots may control all of Cybertron, but Kaon was former Decepticon city-state. So if it existed before the Cons lost the Great War, it could still be there colored as it is on an Autobot-controlled Cybertron.

No. The cake is a lie.

No. It's the slammer. The Big House. The Cybertronian equivalent of Alcatraz. Megs gets locked up behind bars in this place. This facility is an Autobot-controlled prison.

An interesting tidbit: A lot of times, Warpath likes to make certain that any new arriving convicts to this prison arrive there in much worse shape than they were before they left from their trials at the Multi-Circuit Court.

Only if we'd get Warpath or Ironhide to show us the facility. Also, a Confirmation that all the convicts are safely in stasis lock. It'd be a SLAG of a day for the Elite Guard if the 'Cons and traitors took the prison under control with civilians as hostages.

Well, in season 4, Megatron was just going to jettison the entire prison city of Kaon completely off of Planet Cybertron, launching it to Earth where he'd use it as his new headquarters.

I thought that was Kaon.

Trypticon Prison is located within Kaon. The whole city is used as a prison, but Trypticon is the heart of it all (metaphorically speaking).

Yeah, the AllSpark Almanac books are really handy when it comes to this sort of non-show Animated info.

Got'em both online for Christmas. Best gifts I received last year. These two books are simply epic!

If that's all so, then it would be possible for Megs and the D'Cons to TURN it into a gigantic transformer.

Please, let's not go there. Then they'd have to do the same for the Metroplex and Fortress Maximus. Keeping it as an ordinary prison building is a new, creative, and ingenious take on the Trypticon concept, without rehashing old concepts that have been done to death.

I just looked the picture more closely and it seemed like it was raining. Could it be the Traditional Cybertronian Acidic Rain?

Likely. Though, was there any doubt that it wasn't?
