Lookout Mountain

Lookout Mountain is a mountain overlooking Autobot City on Earth. The mountain previously featured an artificial observation deck. Hot Rod claims you can see everything from Lookout Mountain, within the usual constraints of a round planet. This may (or may not) include such sights as seeing seven states from Rock City, Ruby Falls, the world's steepest incline railway, and the final or temporary resting place of Brawn. At the very least, it is apparently an ideal point from which to watch shuttles approaching Autobot City.

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

In the year 2005, the main mountain road was blocked off (possibly for repair) by a team of Autobots overseen by Kup. Hot Rod crashed through their blockade and drove up the mountain road to the artificial observation point.

After Daniel Witwicky noticed Decepticons aboard an incoming shuttle and Hot Rod fired on it, the Decepticons retaliated, blowing the observation point to smithereens. The Transformers: The Movie

Notes

• There are several Lookout Mountains within the continental United States. Which, if any, of these is the "Lookout Mountain" that appeared in The Movie is unclear. The pop-up commentary on the 20th Anniversary DVD states that this "Lookout Mountain" is in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In actuality, that Lookout Mountain is a plateau, with the northernmost point (as well as most of the tourist attractions and the city of Lookout Mountain, GA) just outside Chattanooga, with the majority being located in Georgia and Alabama.
