The Malto family used to live in Philadelphia until Dot's new job made them move to Witwicky. Robby hated being moved so far away from his friends to a place with so little internet reception. Robby attempted to bike his way back to Philie only for his sister, Mo, to follow him. A chance encounter with Arachnamechs, G.H.O.S.T. vehicles, and a mysterious cave gave Robby new reasons to stay in Witwicky.
Notes
- Philadelphia was Frankensteined by Michael Bay for Revenge of the Fallen. Its City Hall tower was repurposed as a building in Paris (with obligatory digitally-inserted Eiffel Tower, of course.) Portions of the University of Pennsylvania were used to represent Princeton University. Other filming locations include Laurel Hill Cemetery, where Optimus Prime meets with Sam, and the long-empty Eastern State Penitentiary, where Bumblebee, the twins and Sam hide out.
