Fiction

[edit]
The volcanoes of the Kamchatka Peninsula were targeted by Decepticon leader Scorponok as part of his plan to crack the Earth in half by causing every volcano on the Pacific Ring of Fire to simultaneously erupt. It was on Kamchatka that the Autobots caught up to Scorponok and battle erupted, but Autobot leader Fortress could do little in the fight, since his battleship was depleted of energy. The tables turned when Scorponok hurled Fortress's battleship into the molten heart of one of the peninsula's volcanoes, allowing him to absorb some of the energy from its magma, repowering the ship and allowing Fortress to combine with it into Fortress Maximus. At that moment, Chromedome arrived from Athenia with the news that he had deduced the location of Scorponok's weak spot—the Decepticon insignia on his chest—and Fortress Maximus ended the battle by puncturing it with his Master Sword and forcing the Decepticons to retreat.

Prime cartoon
[edit]
Requiring a Transformer, MECH used an energon signal to lure Bulkhead and Breakdown to the deserted Kamchatka Peninsula, long since abandoned by humans following a volcanic eruption there twenty years prior. The two enemies fought in a ghost town until Breakdown prevailed and was set upon by Silas's men. They took him to a nearby abandoned rail tunnel where they had set up a makeshift base and set about dismantling him. The Autobots turned up and began searching the town. In the courtyard of a large building, they found Breakdown's right eye, which turned out to be the lure for a MECH bomb. Bulkhead, meanwhile, located the MECH base in the tunnel and busted Breakdown out. A battle ensued between MECH and the two Transformers, which ended when Starscream arrived to chase the humans off, and then Prime's team arrived to do the same to the Decepticons.
