Fiction
IDW Generation 1 comics
In 1984, Bludgeon and his team of Decepticons established a base inside Mount St. Helens during their attempts to gather Ultra-Energon for Thunderwing's revival. When they were done, Bludgeon tried to erase the evidence (and Soundwave) by tossing a plasma-density charge into the volcano's molten lava, triggering an eruption which destroyed the base. One year later, the human organization Skywatch excavated the mountain and found Laserbeak and Ravage. Spotlight: Soundwave
Notes
- In reality, the eruption of Mount St. Helens happened in 1980, and served as inspiration for the fictional Mount St. Hilary, where the Ark crashed in many Generation 1 stories. An exception is the Japanese "Beast Wars Universe" guidebook, which claims that the Ark crashed in Mount St. Helens.
