Kentucky

Kentucky (mmm, tasty) is one of the eastern states in the United States of America, primarily known for being the home of Fort Knox.

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

Trypticon stole Fort Knox under Octane's direction, using the vast amount of gold inside to get Abdul Fakkadi, the leader of the small nation of Carbombya (yes, we know), to shelter the duo in his nation longer. They proceeded to steal some other buildings for Fakkadi as well, although the Autobots interfered with the theft of the Kremlin.

Though the Autobot investigation went awry at first, they eventually put two and two together and tracked down Octane and Trypticon.
