Neutral Territories

With war being the most secure factor in Cybertron's long history, one would almost forget "neutral" doesn't have to refer to the absence of an insignia. The Neutral Territories are called as they are because the domain serves as a free settlement zone and trading quadrant to the Cybertronian population. The area is bordered by Uraya, Altihex, Kalis and possibly Protihex, Praxus or both.

Dreamwave Generation One continuity
As the Border Wars commenced, Shockwave agreed to discuss suspicions of outside manipulation of all factions with Jetfire if he'd accept to meet him in the Neutral Territories. He did, but before they could put their gathered data to use, they were attacked by the members of the Chaos Trinity. Shockwave was soon defeated and Jetfire subdued to be brought to The Fallen. Despite the success, Bludgeon expressed disappointment Grimlock, another of their targets, hadn't shown up as he had planned by leaking information of Jetfire's unauthorized meeting with Shockwave to the LSC commander. Grimlock, who had been delayed by his Dinobot teammates, revealed himself then as he opened attack on the Chaos Trinity. When he was done with them, rather than helping Jetfire, he attacked him too as he still considered him a traitor.

Before he could finish Jetfire, The Fallen entered the battlefield and took him out. Taking the unconscious bodies of Jetfire and Grimlock with him, the Fallen ordered the Chaos Trinity to get their act together and move to Iacon to get the next target.

2005 IDW continuity
At the start of the war, a number of neutrals, among which Pyro, tried to find refuge in the Neutral Territories, but they were ambushed on their way there by the Decepticons. News of a convoy of refugees in the Neutral Territories (possibly the same group) distracted Optimus Prime during a campaign in the Manganese Mountains, causing him to mistake the maker of his ion blaster for someone else.

Live-action film series
The Neutral Territories exist and are surrounded by the area where the Decagon is located, the Tagon Heights, Tarn, the area of the Plasma Energy Chamber and Protihex.
