Associated characters
Mayor
Newly elected, the bespectacled mayor of Central City won the bitterly contested 1986 election against his rival, the influential businessman Shawn Berger. And no wonder, as his office appears to have wide-reaching powers beyond that of a typical mayor, such as forcing alien robots to leave Earth on the flimsiest of evidence.
The mayor easily mixes up his speeches.
Shawn Berger
A powerful and unscrupulous businessman, Berger runs Berger, Inc., a large company that operates a major commercial television network and a rocket launchpad in Central City. Greedy and power-hungry, what Berger desires most is to be mayor and have the adulation of the masses. He is known to make demagogue-styled impassioned rants on television while sitting in front of an American flag. How very topical.
Produce-thrower
This moustachioed man threw tomatoes at Optimus Prime immediately after watching Berger's supposedly damning evidence of the Autobots' duplicity. He demanded that the Autobots 'go home!' It is unknown whether he had already purchased the produce prior to the Autobot Day parade, or he purchased them after watching Berger's footage specifically for the purpose of throwing them in indignant anger.
Notable locations
City Hall
This imposing edifice of burecratic opulence impresses even the vain Sunstreaker in its majestic brown colour.
Berger, Inc. building
Standing in Central City's business district, the Berger, Inc. building rises not-very high above the other skyscrapers surrounding it. Berger's poorly-decorated office is located on the seventh of nine floors.
Fake Solar Plant
This faux solar power plant was donated by Shawn Berger after losing the election, in a scheme to lure the Decepticons into attacking the plant. The inoperative plant hid Berger's private army tanks, which were supposed to defeat the Decepticons in battle, humiliate the real mayor and win Berger his much-cherished adulation of the masses. Unfortunately, they didn't, it didn't and he didn't.
Oil refinery
The lazy workers of this oil refinery don't bother turning up until it is well into the daylight hours, allowing fake Autobots to steal the oil right out of the tanks.
