Eukaris (also called the Jungle Planet) is an arboreal and verdant Cybertronian colony inhabited by animal-formed Transformers.
History[]
Origins[]
Following the end of the War of the Primes, transformers with animal modes began facing discrimination from other Cybertronians. Onyx Prime and many of his followers led a colonization expedition aboard their titan Chela, where they landed on a jungle world that the first wave of colonists would dub "Eukaris". As they settled the planet, Chela's personal hot spot ignited, giving rise to a new civilization of animal-formed transformers, which were content to peacefully coexist with Eukaris's indigenous life-forms.
Over time, Eukarian society developed into a series of tribes, divided along the lines of their animal modes; like the other colonies, they developed a zealous culture which venerated the Thirteen, and the lineage of the Primes, as deities. They remembered Onyx as a benevolent protector, and some groups, such as the arachnid Fateweavers, claimed to be the prophets of the Prime, preaching his messages of unity and peaceful coexistence to the other tribes.
Shockwave seeded Eukaris with samples of Ore-11 as part of his Regenesis project, which affected the planet's Energon reserves. The inhabitants, as a result, were greatly enhanced on a molecular level, giving them an enhanced physiology. Animatronian scientists collected samples and used them to advance their transformation to adapt organic disguises of animals on alien worlds.

Notes[]
- The demonym for the inhabitants of Eukaris is Eukarian.
- Eukaris mostly draws elements, references, and inspirations from the Beast Wars franchise.
- Eukarians have a more advanced form of transformation than Cybertronians; when scanning an organic lifeform, they gain synthetic bio-disguises which can render their energy signatures undetected.
- Most Eukarians are named based on their animal modes (Examples include Cheetor, Waspinator, etc.), but is not the case for some, such as Optimus Primal, Megatron, etc.
- Eukaris is one of many names for the "Jungle Planet", as it was never given a proper name since its first appearance in Transformers: Cybertron.
- Lord Caesar chose the name Eukaris, as it was his favorite and that it had references and inspirations drawn from Beast Wars.
