Lithone was located only a half a quadrant away from Cybertron before Unicron devoured it. After Kranix had informed Optimus Prime of the Chaos Bringer's threat, the Prime invited the Lithone to join the Autobots, noting that he could not only offer knowledge of Unicron but preserve his planet's culture.

Ask Vector Prime

In some realities, Lithone was turned into a tainted world, reformatted by the Great Destroyer and bestowed with a vestige of Kranix's intellect, then sent out into the universe to look for more worlds its master could devour. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/09

Games

Transformers: Devastation

Lithone was one of the planets that underwent cyberforming by the crew of the Proudstar; part of the process was injecting raw Ore-13 into the planet's core. Later, after sabotaging the ship, Kranix used a shuttle to try and return to Lithone, which he believed should have been sufficiently formed by then and noting that it was the last planet where he'd felt truly proud of their mission. Devastation

Notes

• Per an April 1986 draft of the script to The Transformers: The Movie, Lithone was originally to be known as "the planet of marble", and populated by creatures of living rock. Hence, we can safely conclude that its name derives from the Greek word lithos, meaning "rock".
• To further add to the nebulous issue of Unicron's overall scale, Unicron ate Lithone in a manner similar to how he devoured both of Cybertron's moons, whereas he had to transform into Robot Mode to attempt an attack on Cybertron. This suggests that Lithone's overall size, despite being populated by lifeforms the size of the average Cybertronian, was similar in scale to Cybertron's moons.
