United States of America

(Redirected from America)
Insert obligatory “freedom of all sentient beings” joke.
A map of the United States of America.

The United States of America (also called Region 1) is a nation-state on the planet Earth, and one of the world's largest countries both in land area and population. It is considered to be one of the world's two "superpowers," along with its rival, the Soviet Union (or Russia). The American government is headed by a president. Interaction between that government and Transformers operating on Earth is a near inevitability in most dimensions of the multiverse, although whether that relationship is friendly, adversarial, or somewhere in between varies.

Also, they spell things funny and their [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}NTSC|{{#if:DVDs|DVDs|NTSC}}]] won't play on our DVD players. Spooky.

States

[edit]

The United States of America consists of at least 50 "states", plus various territories, special districts, protectorates, hangers-on, puppet dictatorships and an astonishing number of [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Banana republic|{{#if:||Banana republic}}]]s.

Unlike Cybertronian City-states, the divisions of the United States are semi-independent administrative zones existing under an umbrella government, which may in turn have smaller cities within them, which may in turn contain "boroughs" (a sort of township), populated by very tiny humans.

The capital of the country is the District of Columbia, which is not part of any state.

Government

[edit]

The government of the United States is divided between three branches—the Executive Branch (consisting of the President, Vice President, Cabinet, and assorted officials), the Judicial Branch (the Supreme Court and all district and federal courts below them), and the Legislative Branch (Congress, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate). The individual powers of these branches within the government are outlined in the United States Constitution, but the powers of one branch are countered by a series of checks and balances. One example of this practice is that either house of Congress can propose, write, and approve a bill which the President may or may not sign into law and which the Supreme Court may or may not declare valid under the Constitution.

Needless to say, this can get confusing.

Fiction

Marvel Comics continuity

[edit]

Marvel The Transformers comics

[edit]
Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.

Not long after awakening on Earth, the Autobots sought to forge an alliance with the human authorities. They contacted the U.S. Government asking for a meeting with the President of the United States to discuss matters. Their offer was accepted and Optimus Prime, Prowl, and Warpath traveled to Washington, D.C. to visit the White House.

Unfortunately Soundwave intercepted a human communication giving details of the meeting. Unwilling to risk an Autobot-Human alliance, Megatron activated the Insecticons<ref>This clashes somewhat with later continuity when the Insecticons are shown to be on Cybertron.</ref> and sent them to Washington to sabotage the talks.

The Insecticons attacked at just the moment that Optimus Prime and the President met. They attempted to discredit the Autobots by pledging to destroy in the name of Optimus Prime. They then headed for the city and began to cause mindless destruction

Horrified, Optimus Prime led Prowl and Warpath in a counter attack that eventually drove the Insecticons away. Prime then decided that the humans would never believe that the Insecticons were not Autobots and left Washington to go back to the Ark.

The President meanwhile was initially convinced that the Autobots had been set up and allowed them to deal with the Insecticons themselves. When the Autobots then failed to return, the President concluded that he had made a mistake and misjudged the Autobots’ good intentions. He vowed never to make that mistake again.

After this the Autobots’ relations with the U.S. Government continued to deteriorate. The Government assigned the shadowy organization Triple-I to find a way to protect the public from the Transformer threat. Triple-I engaged the Transformers on a number of occasions, although it was usually the Autobots who came off worse.

Over time tensions seemed to ease, mainly due to the efforts of G.B. Blackrock who on several occasions attempted to convince the authorities of the truth of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict.

This ultimately seemed to meet with some success leading to Blackrock forming the Neo-Knights, a group of superhumans that the President then sent to attack a battling Shockwave and Scorponok just before they were transported back to Cybertron by Primus. As this led to most Transformers being removed from the planet, tensions were finally eased.

Wings Universe

[edit]

The second generation Transformer Clench was born in a cyberfactory in the U.S. state of Texas. Although he was designed to be a security 'bot, Clench had other ideas. Less than 10 minutes after coming online, he had demolished the facility he was born in and set off on one of the most atrocious criminal careers in history. Following the addition of the Non-Biological Entity Citizenship Amendment to the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Constitution of the United States|{{#if:U.S. Constitution|U.S. Constitution|Constitution of the United States}}]], Clench was simultaneously declared a citizen and number one on the most wanted list.

2005 IDW continuity

[edit]

The United States had a secret intelligence organization named Skywatch, who investigated alien incidents and potential threats. In 1985, after discovering one such alien, they had their budget increased Spotlight: Soundwave—despite the Pentagon and National Security Council seemingly being completely unaware that robotic aliens were operating on American soil. Devastation #3 We all knew security agencies have rivalries and don't like talking to each other, but damn.

A year after the initial contact, America was hit with a devastating Decepticon attack. New York City was seized and the United States Military humiliated, and then a few days later four other cities came under simultaneous attack - one of which was Washington, D.C, which saw the death of the President.

Beast Wars cartoon

[edit]

Millions of years ago, the Autobot starship Ark was shot down in a space battle with the Decepticon flagship Nemesis and crashed into the side of a volcano, in a region that would one day become North America. The Agenda (Part III)

Much, much later in 1977, the United States' National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) launched the Voyager probes exploration probes. These primitive, unmanned spacecraft carried golden disks depicting humans, the approximate location of Earth in space as well as containing imaging and audio data on Earth and its inhabitants. When the Autobots and Decepticons on the Ark awoke and resumed the Great War, the Decepticon leader Megatron somehow managed to capture one of the probes and encoded a message within for any descendants. The message was a desperate gamble: should the Decepticons fail to defeat the Autobots, their descendants must use the then-emerging transwarp technology to go back to the past and eliminate Optimus Prime as he slumbered on the Ark in stasis lock. The Agenda (Part 2)

Years in the future, a rogue Predacon general named Megatron stole the Golden Disk and travelled back in time, though he was loath to follow his namesake's instructions, preferring keep that plan as a last resort. Meanwhile, he used the information on the Golden Disk to destroy the valley where the meddlesome humanity was purported to have evolved from. This act of genocide was prevented by the heroic former Predacon Dinobot, who gave his life to protect the valley, and all-but destroy the Disc. Code of Hero

Titan movie comic

[edit]

In an alternate timeline where Megatron won the battle of Mission City, the United States Armed Forces all got beaten up, and the Decepticons ruled America. Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1

The Decepticons were overthrown by the Autobots, but many cities are left devastated. The previous President is presumed dead, the Georgia town Savannah is the site of a large medical shelter for refugees, and NATO has military command. New President Theodore Allen has been sworn in; let's hope he's not the pawn of an alien robot jet, eh? Aftermath Part 1 Aftermath Part 2

The Decepticons carried on a deliberate policy of infrastructure destruction Dark Spark that climaxed in six hundred square miles of southern U.S. soil being taken over as a Decepticon nation. They loved it, the humans left it. Return to Cybertron: Part 4

The Decepticons would go on to launch punitive attacks and a diplomatic assault to get the U.S. government to boot the Autobots out. Revolution Part 1 The day after this was done, the Decepticons swarmed across the Eastern seaboard, overrunning cities like Baltimore while their pet President kept the military from taking action. The Decepticons would've conquered half the country within a few hours if Stockade hadn't taken control of a third of their drones and started a Decepticon Civil War on US soil, halting the advance.
