Dear Lord Galvatron, could you give us more information on Galvatron III's panopticon please?
When Galvatron the Triple-Eye conquered Cybertron, he had Crystal City rebuilt as the Panopticon, each sliver of crystal being reshaped into mirrors. There was no place where a prisoner could be out of their own sight, out of sight of the other prisoners. Constant self-observation alone is usually enough to disturb even the most narcissistic of bots, but more potent yet is the constant fear of appearing out of control to one's peers.
Bots who failed to maintain perfect order were taken to Crypticon, the saurian interrogation city/morgue. Over time, the bodies of the criminals were re-smelted into reflective mirrors to coat more and more of Cybertron's surface until my Panopticon covered the world, a shining metal eye in the heavens.
Galvatron III's alt mode is a cannon-shaped telescope, randomly observing every portion of the planet's surface and constantly receiving data from Refraktor Sweeps. Scratch the Data Tracker, who leads them, continually reviews surveillance footage. Criminals detected by Scratch are sent to face judgement at the hands of my loyal lieutenant, Cycl-Ops—giving Galvatron time to expand his gaze to other worlds suitable for conquest.
