The Jekka Amphitheatre is located in the Decepticon stronghold of Tyrest. It was once used as a venue for the prestigious State Games but following the outbreak of war it fell into vorns of disuse until it was reopened by an alliance between the alien Zabra and the Firecons. The ongoing war allows the Decepticons to provide Zabra with a ready supply of prisoners to pit against his champion Hooligan, while Zabra's offworld audience offers the Decepticons a stream of commerce and income.
