Located just outside the Great Dome in Iacon, the Kimia Facility once aided the Autobot war effort with cutting-edge scientific research and weapons development. While much of their work was entirely in the realm of the theoretical, they regardless managed to develop mature technologies at a sufficient rate to keep the Autobot forces well-equipped. Often their creations were field-tested by the Wreckers commando team. In addition to being a place for inventing weapons, Kimia Facility was itself a weapon -— if needed the entire station could be transformed into an enormous particle cannon.
