Talk:Tranquility

Location

Okay, we seem to have conflicting sources on Tranquility's location. I was under the impression it was in California, yet it appears to be in Nevada. I also remember something about the Autobots license plates being Californian. So...-- SFH 01:14, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's a border town that's in two states at once. I lived in a place like that for two years. --M Sipher 01:28, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Except our map that indicates it is in California, indicates it is in northern California, where the only possible other state it could be in is Oregon. Even then, it looks just a bit too far away from the border. --Sntint 02:09, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The map location comes from the cell phone game-- and was probably chosen by their developers with a dart, not out of actual knowledge. The map it came from doesn't even have state borders- it's so close to Oregon it could even be Oregon.

Nevada is weird- but it's from the Topwhatever guide Furman's doing. while Furman's grasp of American geography and conceptualization of the distances involves is notoriously bad (States are not as close together as counties!) it has the virtue of being official, explicit, and workable with the whole border-town thing. (And thus Nevada is probably the location and future contributions to the fiction will use.) -Derik 18:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

NOTE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tranquillity,_CA. There is a town named 'Tranquility' in California, it is just misspelled! And it has a High School called Tranquillity High School.71.248.131.166 03:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)Anonymous.

Image hasn't fully updated yet, so you'll have to click on it.

I took a look at the Glu game (as the map file from the game wasn't shown on this page), and it appears that the custom map on this page is based on an inaccurate screenshot that was taken mid-animation. The ACTUAL location marked on the in-game map appears to be the REAL Tranquillity, CA mentioned by the above anon-user. I replaced the game screenshot with a more accurate one, but I didn't want to mess with the custom map for a few reasons, but the movie location doesn't really share anything in common with the real Tranquillity (including the spelling), so this was probably just a case of the people who made the mobile game googling "Tranquility California" and finding the real location, with no input from anyone who actually worked on the movie. So the map probably would just need to be removed rather than updated. --Dinobot Scorn (talk) 22:20, 28 December 2025 (EST)
