Africa
From Transformers Wiki
Africa is one of Earth's largest continents, second only to Asia. Most of north Africa is covered in the massive Sahara Desert, and contains countries such as Egypt and the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya. In contrast, the middle of Africa has plenty of deep jungles and rainforests, and is where you can find Kenya and the island nation Madagascar. Southern Africa, which has a fairly varied terrain, contains Zambia, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Angola and South Africa.

Beast Wars cartoon
The Axalon and Darksyde appeared to have crash-landed somewhere in Africa at the beginning of the Beast Wars. The Maximals' alternate forms were all native to the continent; cheetahs, rhinos, rats are all found there, and gorillas are exclusive to Africa. Likewise, the human race emerged from Africa, making it the likely candidate for the location of the valley which the Predacons attacked in their first attempt to change history. Code of Hero
However, since both the Maximals and Predacons were capable of relatively quick long-distance travel Fallen Comrades The Agenda (Part III), it is not entirely clear where all events of the Beast Wars took place.
