Fiction
Revenge of the Fallen film
When Wheelie told Sam Witwicky, Mikaela Banes, Seymour Simmons, and Leo Spitz about the Seekers, he told them where to find the ancient Transformers. The closest one was in Washington, D.C., in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The trip brought back memories for Simmons (he always wanted to be an astronaut). As part of their plan to do their search uninterrupted, Leo distracted the guards by claiming that the restrooms were out of toilet paper, then tazing one who followed him...also tazing himself. Simmons managed to down another four guards, and the human quartet went to work. They managed to find that the SR-71 Blackbird in the museum was the Seeker in question. Reactivating him with the AllSpark shard Sam had, it turned out to be Jetfire, who had not aged very well and damaged a good portion of the museum while trying to get his bearings.
Trivia
- Revenge of the Fallen does some rather serious failures in geography with regards to the Smithsonian. What was actually displayed in the movie was the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, which is administered by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, but is a separate building. Additionally, when Jetfire wanders outside, what is actually shown is the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group in Tuscon, Arizona. The novelization makes the distinction about the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy center being a separate facility administered by the Smithsonian, but the film itself does not.
