Broadwater Metal Works - Transformers Wiki
Broadwater Metal Works[1] is an abandoned steel[2] foundry located in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, not far from Princeton University.
Its interior is large enough to allow 30'0 plus robots to do acrobatics inside while fighting each other. Handy.
Fiction
Revenge of the Fallen
Following his resurrection, Megatron presented himself to the Fallen to explain that he had allowed the AllSpark to be destroyed. The Fallen revealed that the Cube had been destroyed, while the knowledge of the AllSpark had instead been transferred to Sam Witwicky, the human who had destroyed Megatron and the cube. With Sam's mind, the Decepticons would be able to locate the Matrix of Leadership, the key needed to activate the Star Harvester which would destroy Earth's sun and form Energon. Before they could do that, Megatron would have to kill Optimus Prime, the last of the Dynasty of Primes and the only one who could defeat the Fallen. Knowing that Optimus and the Autobots would protect the boy, Megatron ordered him captured.
When Alice failed to capture the boy at his college, Grindor was dispatched to capture him. Grindor managed to capture the vehicle carrying Sam, his girlfriend Mikaela, and his roommate Leo. Carrying the car to the Broadwater Metal Works foundry where Megatron, Starscream, and the Doctor were waiting, Grindor released the van while still in the air, sending the car plummeting down to the hard floor of the abandoned foundry. Fortunately, no one inside was harmed. Once Starscream cut the van in half, Megatron threw the boy down a flight of stairs and held him down while the Doctor performed some rather invasive scans. Sam lay there, obviously in discomfort as Scalpel invaded his brain. It confirmed the Fallen's claims that the knowledge was within Sam's mind, and the Doctor declared that they would need Sam's brain on the table (Chop chop!).
As the Doctor prepared to cut Sam's head open, Optimus Prime jumped through the ceiling, just as Bumblebee burst through the wall. As the smaller Autobot opened fire on Starscream, Optimus concentrated on Megatron, then began firing on both Megatron and Starscream. The Prime's furious assault damaged the foundry within, causing Starscream to retreat and Megatron to blasted out of the building. Optimus then fled the foundry with Sam, while Bumblebee took Mikaela and Leo. Revenge of the Fallen
