Fiction
Dreamwave Comics continuity
Area 51 is a concealed base in the Nevada desert accessed via a concealed elevator. Unlike the real world, there is no surface facility. It is staffed by teams of engineers and scientists capable of analyzing, repairing and reverse-engineering <span style="background:black;">alien technology</span>. It is a 'clean' facility, requiring biological decontamination to enter the primary areas, a guard against <span style="background:black;">unwanted alien organisms</span>.
Area 51 was built shortly after the Transformers arrival on Earth to serve as secret headquarters of Nathaniel Faireborn's newly-founded Earth Defense Command. The end result of the E.D.C's reverse-engineering was the short-lived Project: Centurion.
Scourge was taken to EDC Headquarters after his capture, as was Devastator and the remains of Superion.
<span style="background:black;">Area 51 served as the production facility when Project: Centurion</span> was <span style="background:black;">restarted in 2004</span>.
