Montrose Island

From Transformers Wiki

Watch out for the Others!

Montrose Island is aCaribbean island with a resort town composed mainly of hotels on one end. As a geothermal attraction, the island has hot springs in which hotel guests may relax. The volcano itself is dormant, but in the event of an eruption, hotel workers are instructed to direct guests to the nearest safe area.

Fiction

2001Robots in Disguise cartoon

The three beastPredacons were sent withSky-Byte andScourge as escorts to dig under the island for energy.T-AI detected their presence there, andOptimus Prime and theSpychangers went to the island, where they tussled with Sky-Byte, Scourge andRuination. Unfortunately, the digging of the three Predacons caused the volcano to become active, and the Autobots scrambled to try and save thehumans on the island as well as fight off their foes. Optimus used his Blizzard Storm attack to freeze the rising lava, but was only able to stop it for eight minutes. Once the cap melted, Ruination intentionally breached the crater wall, causing an eruption of lava. The Spychangers were able to act quickly, using theirInferno Blast move to carve a trench and direct the flow away from the resort. The three Predacons also narrowly escaped being fried by the lava.

The island was later reviewed by Optimus among several locations that the Predacons had previously attacked, believing that the Predacons had been pointed to it by information obtained fromDoctor Onishi.Sky-Byte Saves the Day
