Ruby Crystal Mines of Burma



The Ruby Crystal Mines of Burma are a place where (presumably) Burmese humans mine ruby crystals containing great and unexplained power. Soundwave alleges that the rubies in the mine are enough to power the entire planet of Cybertron, yet the 'Earth humans' merely use the crystals for decoration and jewelry. Foolish flesh creatures!

Trivia

 * Sparkplug Witwicky claims to have once worked in the mines. He sure gets around.


 * Burma happens to look a lot like North America.


 * Based on the evidence presented in this episode, any one of the rubies we humans wear as jewelry could be from Burma, and thus are liable to explode at any moment. So when your spouse asks why you didn't get them rubies for Valentine's Day, say you're doing them a favor.
