TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED SERIES / CARTOONS

Episode Died In: Fight or Flee

Bio: Paradron was the planet in which the Autobot triple-changer, Sandstorm and his race of Autobots lived for millions of years after the great war between the Autobots and Decepticons began on Cybertron. Sandstorm and his men retreated to the planet due to the fact that they did not believe in fighting and wanted nothing to do with the war. Paradron is a planet rich in energon. It's just too bad that it is a planet controlled by "a bunch of sissy Autobots".

Cause of Death: Eventually, Paradron was discovered by Galvatron and the Decepticons. The Decepticons easily took control of the planet since the Autobots there did not want to fight for it. However, Sandstorm managed to escape and find the Autobots on Cybertron to help him. The Autobots were losing the fight against the Decepticons, so instead of losing Paradron to the Decepticons and risking them using the planet to conquer the universe, Rodimus Prime ordered Ultra Magnus and Sandstrom to plant explosives in the planet's energon core and destroy the planet. The Autobots did so and Paradron was destroyed. Sandstrom and his race of Autobots then moved to Cybertron with the others afterwards.
