The '''Statue of Liberty''' is a large (even by [[Transformer]] standards) hollow statue depicting a crowned [[human]] female holding a torch and a stone tablet. It is located on Liberty Island off the coast of [[New York City]], and serves as an icon for both the city and the entire [[United States of America]].

Various humans strolling around the Statue of Liberty reacted in terror and fled as earth tremors shook the ground, the result of Megatron's [[Solar Needle]] piercing Earth's [[sun]]. {{storylink|Changing Gears}}

When the [[Autobot]]s developed the anti-rust chemical [[corrostop]], they planned to cover all of [[Earth]]'s monuments with it, starting with the Statue of Liberty. One of the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s initially mistook Lady Liberty for a "non-functioning old robot", but was quickly corrected.

The Autobots later needed some corrostop to halt an outbreak of [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] in their ranks, so they went to scrape some off the Statue of Liberty. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] didn't take kindly to hearing about this, and sent [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] to destroy the entire statue with the [[Lightning Bug]]. A battle broke out around the Statue of Liberty, which ended with the Autobots saving it, and by extension, themselves.  {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
When New York was blackmailed by Sixshot in 2011, the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] staked out the city from a vantage point atop the Statue of Liberty. They thought it looked a bit like [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
Inspired by [[Noah Acton|a vandalizing youth]], the [[Battlecharger]]s started spraying graffiti all over America's various landmarks. Their final target was the Statue of Liberty, which the two covered in the badly written message "HUMANS ARE WIMPS" before almost knocking the torch out of the statue's hand. The Battlechargers were taken out of action soon afterwards, but the cost of cleaning the statue was estimated to 50,000 dollars. Luckily, [[Donny Finkleberg]] had recently acquired such an amount of money, and donated it towards the restoration fund.  {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

===IDW comics continuity===

During the devastating battle in New York that saw the end of the short-lived Decepticon occupation, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] blew a hole straight through both [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and the Statue of Liberty.  {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

During the years of recovery, Lady Liberty was rebuilt, and it served to inspire [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] that perhaps the Autobots should become more democratic rather than operating under a military jurisdiction. {{storylink|Spotlight: Prowl}}

Then, a replica of the Statue of Liberty was the last eyesore that [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron's]] ship hit before it crash-landed in Las Vegas. {{storylink|The Transformers: Infestation issue 1}}

After hijacking Earth's [[Global Orbital Defense Satellite]], [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] demonstrated what would happen if the world didn't accept the Autobots as their new overlords by destroying the sword-holding robed statue with the satellite's beam.   {{storylink|Eye in the Sky}}
