Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist

Denny's Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist is a business from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Denny Clay's Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist is a sprawling section of land outside Crown City, though most other people simply refer to it as a scrapyard. It holds a vast collection of what most people might regard as junk, but what Denny regards as highly valuable memorabilia and antique collectibles. Lately it also contains the remains of a crashed Autobot prison ship, and a number of stasis pods containing recaptured Decepticons.

Pilot (Part 1) The Decepticon Underbite, attracted by the temptation of food, entered the scrapyard pursued by Bumblebee's team of Autobots.

Unbeknownst to the other Autobots, Fixit had been adding hidden laser weapons to the scrapyard, which were activated when Denny accidentally reactivated Fixit's guard programming. The Trouble with Fixit Steeljaw and his team were able to briefly take over the scrapyard, bypassing the defense system and setting up a subsonic field to prevent the Autobots from re-entering. Eventually the Autobots were able to get Jetstorm and Slipstream inside to turn the field off, and retook the scrapyard. Lockout

Fixit put the scrapyard on lockdown while the Autobots were out on a mission, however Fracture managed to gain entry by tricking Russell with a hologram of Hank.

Mighty Big Trouble

A massive attack on the part of Steeljaw and his pack forced the Autobots to abandon the scrapyard, instead taking up residence in the nearby cave system. Exiles Denny and Sideswipe eventually undertook a stealth mission to the scrapyard so they could retrieve some belongings. Collateral Damage With the immediate threat from the Decepticons quelled, the Autobots returned to the scrapyard permanently, though not without Underbite escaping and eating a chunk of the GroundBridge. Something He Ate Wingcode invaded the scrapyard by air while Fixit had the security system powered down for maintenance.
