Lincoln is a city, and the home of Rad, Carlos, Alexis, Billy, and Fred during the Autobot/Decepticon War. It may or may not be the same place as Science City.
Fiction
Armada cartoon
The city of Lincoln was built at the foot and into the side of Mount Astrogate. Landmarks included the Cosmoscope Research Center where Rad's parents worked, Lincoln Middle School, and the mountain itself, which contained a series of caves leading to the ruins of an alien ship. First Encounter The ship would go on to serve as the Autobots' base, and the human children could travel there and back via their Mini-Con companions. Base It was close enough to Central City one could travel between the two by bus. Runaway
Dreamwave Armada comic
At some point, the children were living in Lincoln. They were in the Black Hills, with Rad crashing his bike into the lake after a failed stunt. Optimus Prime and Hot Shot appeared, discussing with the children that they must leave in order to prevent more damage to the planet. Just as Sparkplug was about to object, he received a distress call from the Air Defense Mini-Con Team requesting help escaping from Megatron. Armada #6
Notes
- Lincoln Middle School is named as such in the first episode of the Armada cartoon, with Rad also remarking that they live in the High Desert (meaning they could be in the state of California, Oregon, or New Mexico). However, this geographic information only appears in the English dub of the episode, not the original Japanese, so it's unclear at what stage of production it was introduced, or even if "Lincoln" is actually the name of the town—maybe they named the school after this guy!
- During Chris Sarracini's initial tenure on the Dreamwave Armada comic—which used several non-final story elements differing from the cartoon, such as Seth and Sid—it is established that kids live in "Science City". When Simon Furman took over with issue #6, several changes were made in an apparent attempt to maintain consistency with the cartoon: the kids are now said to be living in Lincoln, South Dakota (maybe they moved?).
- However, in issue #11, Lincoln is instead said to be in Nebraska! Furman stuck with this for his run on the Panini Armada comic, consistently presenting it as a Nebraskan city. Hey, there's lots of Lincolns in America, maybe they moved again.
