New Jersey is a location in the United States from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Fiction
Marvel comics continuity
The Scorponok-led Decepticons built their Earth-based headquarters underneath a garbage dump in this New Jersey after the loss of both Ratbat's island ship and the Semper Tyrannis at the hands of the Underbase-powered Starscream. Ignuanus was sighted by humans wandering about in one of the state's swamps near the base, prompting both humans and the Off Road Patrol to come investigate. The Off Road team, along with the Sports Car Patrol, were later quite befuddled by the state's toll road system. King Con!
Later, the Autobots landed in the New Jersey swamps to surrender to Scorponok's forces, as a prelude to an alliance against Unicron. Surrender!
Scorponok's base was destroyed when Starscream and Shockwave attacked shortly thereafter, and the Transformers within had to escape via an exit through the murky waters surrounding the base, finding themselves stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey. A Decepticon-vs-Decepticon battle ensued, soon spilling over into Manhattan. ...All This and Civil War 2
The Transformers cartoon
The Decepticons set up a facility in the Pine Barrens of central New Jersey, intending to convert hundreds of stolen automobiles into drone warriors. The Autobot Tracks and his pal Raoul tracked them there by posing as a stolen car. Narrowly escaping destruction in the facility, Tracks fled into the wilderness, and was rescued by a squad of his fellow Autobots. A full team of Autobots led by Optimus Prime soon returned to the site and destroyed it, driving the Decepticons off. Make Tracks
