Mount Lomas

Mount Lomas is the scenic crown on Dolphin Bay's metaphorical phallus of tropical beauty. None of this mattered to the Decepticons, who chose Mount Lomas as the site for a secret base.

In the process of hollowing out hidden chambers within the mountain and constructing an underwater access to the bay, the Constructicons discovered the properties of the Black Coral, and the base's construction was re-directed, turning the base into a lab and a processing plant to extract the coral's power.

Fiction

Dinobots Strike Back

Strange electro-magnetic waves off the coast of Dolphin Bay, combined with earlier Decepticon sightings, brought Skids and Bumblebee to Dolphin Bay to investigate in Wheeljack's mini-sub. Sludge accompanied them.

They discovered the Decepticons' plan for the Black Coral. When Bumblebee became trapped on the floor of the bay, Skids used the sub's computer to communicate with the dolphins, who rescued Bumblebee.

Subsequently:

• Sludge collapsed the lab by creating crashing waves that cracked the seaside wall.
• The Autobots staged a full assault on Mount Lomas to attack the Decepticons before the power plant was completed.

Optimus Prime dueled Megatron atop Mount Lomas, and tricked Rumble into causing an earthquake, which caused Mount Lomas to crumble. Dinobots Strike Back
