Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

Shortly after the Decepticon arrival on Earth, Megatron led his troops to Sherman dam in an attempt to gather energy. He easily captured the facility from it's human operators, and sent Rumble to create more energy for the dam's generators by using his pile drivers to make a tidal wave. The other Decepticons then made Energon Cubes from the energy before the waves began to tear the dam apart. Optimus Prime and the Autobots attempted to stop them, but were defeated. As the Decepticons fled, the dam broke. More Than Meets the Eye, Part 2

Sherman Dam had big ceilings and platforms built perfectly for robots the size of cars. This was fortunate.
