    • Guadacanal is an island, part of the Solomon Islands archipelago in the southern Pacific Ocean, and was part of Japanese territory in World War II. When Starscream was kicked out of the Decepticon Base, he was cast out here, by Lazerbeak. There, Starscream found remnants of old WWII vehicles, and Starscream, muttering "I'll make my own army", started fixing them up. Later, with some personality componets he "borrowed" from the Decepticon Detention Center, he created the Combaticons.
    • Guadalcanal is the principal island in Guadalcanal Province of the Solomon Islands.
    • Guadalcanal (Isatabu) is a tropical island in the South-Western Pacific. The largest island in the formerly British and now independent Solomon Islands (Bougainville Island, which is far larger, was part of German New Guinea, administered by Australia from 1914 to 1975, and part of Papua New Guinea since that country's independence), it was discovered by the Spanish expedition of Álvaro de Mendaña in 1568. The name comes from Guadalcanal, a village in the province of Seville, in Andalusia, Spain, birthplace of Pedro de Ortega Valencia, a member of Mendaña's expedition.
