The '''Hoover Dam''' (originally known as '''Boulder Dam''' <ref>http://www.vegas.com/attractions/outside_lasvegas/hooverdam.html</ref>) is a large dam located in the [[United States of America]], right on the {{w|Colorado River}}. It provides power to six states.

In response, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] sent the newly built [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] to hinder the Decepticons.

Hoover Dam was the location of [[Area 52 (Movie)|Area 52]], a secret [[Sector Seven]] base. {{storylink|Transformers Coloring and Activity Book and Crayons}}

====''Transformers'' film====
After the discovery of the [[AllSpark]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|N.B.E.-1]], the 31st [[President of the United States]], [[Herbert Hoover]], had Hoover Dam built around the AllSpark. The dam was constructed with concrete that was four football fields thick, which was "a perfect way to hide its energy from being detected by anyone or any [[Decepticon|alien species]] on the outside".

[[Tom Banachek]], a head figure in [[Sector Seven]], brought Defense Secretary [[John Keller]] to Hoover Dam after informing him of the Transformers' existence. Banachek led Keller, [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Mikaela Banes]], [[Maggie Madsen]] and [[Glen Whitmann]] to see N.B.E.-1, or Megatron. Banachek explained how [[Archibald Witwicky|Sam's great-great grandfather]] had discovered Megatron, and later showed the group the AllSpark. Unfortunately, [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] had posed as Mikaela's cell phone, allowing him to infiltrate the Dam and discover the AllSpark and Megatron's location. Frenzy informed [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], telling him that their prizes were there. As Starscream mobilized all the Decepticons on [[Earth]], Frenzy set about releasing his master. He went and killed a few technicians, letting him screw with the cryo-stasis machines that kept Megatron entombed. At the same time, Starscream destroyed the power lines outside, allowing the Decepticon leader to escape.

Sam, [[William Lennox]], and Keller convince Banachek and [[Seymour Simmons]] to release [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], who had been captured and experimented on at Hoover Dam, so that he can get the AllSpark to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Bumblebee converts the AllSpark into a smaller state for transportation to [[Mission City]]. As Megatron and Starscream went to assist the rest of the Decepticons in securing the AllSpark, Frenzy remained at the dam to tie up any loose ends. When Simmons, Keller, Maggie, and Glenn ran to an ancient storage room to try and get a Morse Code message to the Air Force via shortwave radio, Frenzy followed. While Glen jury-rigged outdated machinery to send the messages, Simmons and Keller tried to shoot the diminutive Decepticon. Frenzy entered the room via the air ducts and fought the humans with his machine guns and [[shuriken|flying blades]]. One blade, however, ricocheted madly across the room and killed Frenzy. {{storylink|Transformers (film)}}
====Titan movie comics====
In an alternate timeline where Megatron won the battle of Mission City, Megatron used the former Sector Seven base as a prison for Optimus Prime—who he had frozen, for he was petty. A tunnel link to the dam could be accessed in [[Denver]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} A ferocious running battle eventually saw Optimus rescued and Megatron dead. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

====IDW movie comics====
One of [[Herbert Hoover]]'s main goals in office was to construct the Boulder Dam as a permanent base to keep the AllSpark. That's why they renamed it after him! {{storylink|Irreplaceable|Field Notes from John Barber #2}}

===''Sector 7 Adventures: The Battle at Half Dome'' comic===
Sector Seven ordered [[Danny Bell|Agent Bell]] and his squad to transport troop platoon to the Igloo beneath Hoover Dam, though Bell was under orders not to let his squad know they were actually carrying a reverse-engineered Decepticon weapon. Despite an attack by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] incapacitating Bell and forcing [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] to deploy the device to save the squad, the cargo eventually reached its destination. There, [[Tom Banachek|Director Banacheck]] loops Simmons in on the facility's real purpose: detaining the frozen Megatron. {{storylink|Sector 7 Adventures: The Battle at Half Dome}}

==Trivia==
* In July, 2022, a fire broke out at Hoover Dam. The fact it happened almost exactly 25 years after the release of the 2007 film causing many jokes across the net that [[Megatron (Movie)| Megatron]] was breaking out again? Already funny enough. The cause being discovered to be a ''transformer'' acting up and exploding? Hilarious. Thankfully the damage was minimal and no one was hurt.

Great Pyramid of Giza

2026-02-13T17:43:01Z

Tarbtano: /* Trivia */

[[File:Rotf t2 egyptpyramids.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
The '''Great Pyramid of Giza''' it the massive [[pyramid]] located in [[Egypt]]. Although said to be the tomb of Pharaoh {{w|Khufu}}, that's really just what they want you to believe.

Who are "they"? It depends.

==Fiction==
===''The Headmasters'' cartoon===
{{locationstub}}

===Live-action film series===
====IDW ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics====
After the horrific battle which saw the death of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] at the hands of [[The Fallen]], the humans began to build the pyramid over the [[Star Harvester|great machine]] they had built. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie====
[[File:ROTF Megatron on pyramid.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Hey, I can see Starscream's house from here. *fires*]]

Thousands of years later, The Fallen sent the Decepticons to Earth to capture [[Sam Witwicky]], the human boy who now possessed the knowledge and power contained within the [[AllSpark]]. It was hoped that the boy's knowledge would lead them to the lost [[Matrix of Leadership]], which could activate the Star Harvester and revitalise the dying Cybertronian race.

[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] flew atop the pyramid, surveying the area as [[NEST]]/[[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]] forces prepared for [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]]. When Megatron gave the order to attack, the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s arrived, combined into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and began clambering from a quarry onto the pyramid, while Megatron fended off a [[Jordan]]ian Royal Air Force helicopter. It crashed near former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], who used their radio to contact the [[United States Navy]] for assistance. Devastator climbed to the pyramid's peak and began sucking up the stones, uncovering the [[Star Harvester]] within.

Although the [[USS Kidd|USS ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], the harvester was exposed and The Fallen activated it with the Matrix of Leadership. The [[United States military]] unleashed everything it had in the area, but they were no match for The Fallen's awesome telekinetic powers, and only a blast from [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], using parts donated by the late [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], destroyed the harvester, taking part of the pyramid with it. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

====''The Last Knight'' film====
When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] made contact with Earth, part of the metallic planet scraped across Giza, destroying the Great Pyramid in the process. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
The Great Pyramid of Giza was completed circa [[2560 BC]]. {{storylink|Crisis Intervention|Revolutionaries #1 timeline}}

==Trivia==
* The idea of a pyramid in Egypt being tied in with extraterrestrials seems to reference the real-world psuedoscience concept called the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_astronauts Ancient Astronaut Theory]. The (often racist) conspiracy theories holds that aliens/Atlanteans/interdimensional beings/whatever-else was responsible for building the pyramids and other great monuments instead of, you know, the people who actually lived in the locations of said monuments. Ironically enough, nothing in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' media implies Cybertronians had anything to do with actually building this particular pyramid or any others. This implies the native Egyptians really did build the pyramids in the context of the story, albiet with the extra caveat of not only constructing it for entombing purposes but to also hide the harvester.
