:''The Breastforce are a [[Decepticon]] subgroup from the [[Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of [[Generation 1]].''

The '''Breastforce''' (tee hee!) are [[Deathsaurus]]'s elite troopers, and next to the [[Dinoforce]], his '''only''' troopers. The Breastforce comprises some of the most vile Decepticons imaginable, from murderous back-stabbers to incarcerated convicts. Each one has a '''Breast Animal''', a partner formed from their titular breastplate armor that can act as an autonomous fighting unit or hand-held blaster. Don't let the name fool you, the Breastforce is full of valuable assets.

<small>(giggle)</small>

The Breastforce consist of:

*[[Deathsaurus]], the [[Emperor of Destruction]] and dragon-thing.
*[[Leozack]], Deathsaurus' second-in-command and Grumman F-14D "Tomcat" fighter jet.
*[[Drillhorn]], the tunnelling machine.
*[[Gaihawk]], the MAPO MiG-29 "Fulcrum" fighter jet.
*[[Hellbat]], the Dassault Rafale fighter jet.
*[[Jarugar]], the Baja buggy.
*[[Killbison]], the Gepard anti-aircraft tank.
*[[Deathcobra]], the Mi-24 Hind assault helicopter.

Leozack, Drillhorn, Gaihawk, Hellbat, Jarugar and Killbison can combine to form the warrior [[Liokaiser]]. Among Liokaiser's abilities is the ability to fight while invisible. (Deathcobra had the capability, but was never able to utilize it.)

==Fiction==
===Victory cartoon===
Unlike the rest of the Decepticon sub-groups, not all of the Breastforce was introduced at once. At first, it was just Leozack. Then Drillhorn, Jarugar and Killbison came in, then Hellbat, then they broke Gaihawk out of prison. Although they were able to handle most of the Autobots, despite their teamwork, they could never defeat [[Star Saber]]. They almost managed it when they first formed Liokaiser. Only [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]]'s arrival saved Star Saber, but even the two of them were only barely able to stop Liokaiser. Liokaiser remained a huge threat to Autobots, but he eventually met his match with [[Victory Saber]]. At the end of series, when Star Saber and [[Victory Leo]] were attacking Deathsaurus's space fortress, Liokaiser appeared to fight them in space. Victory Leo took on Liokaiser and killed him by throwing him into the main cannon of the fortress.

:''Deathsaurus is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Deathsaurus1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Spell it right or you're kickbanned, buster.]]

'''Deathsaurus''' is a savage and cruel dictator, yet he's oddly fond of [[human]] children. (Not [[Kiss Players|that way]].)

The Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction]], he bears a bitter grudge against [[Autobot]] [[Supreme Commander]], [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]]. He prefers to lead his warriors from a distance, though engages in battle when necessary. Much like a Bond villain, he'll gladly tell you his plan before leaving you unsupervised in a delayed-result death trap. That said, he is ferociously powerful, and has come disturbingly close to victory on several occasions. He even pulled the trigger in an attack that would have killed a helpless Star Saber, only to find he'd transfered too much energy to his fortress and the damn gun didn't work. The gun's designer was later found impaled on a church spire.

He commands the [[Decepticon Space City]]. Deathsaurus is a [[Breastforce]] warrior, meaning he has two detachable breastplates which can transform into the [[Tigerbreast]] and [[Eaglebreast]], respectively.

:''Japanese name'': '''Deszaras''' (デスザラス de-su-za-ra-su)
:''English-Malay dub name'': '''Deathsanras'''

==Fiction==
===''Victory'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Takeshi Aono]] (Japanese)

Years ago, striving to become the Decepticons' new [[Emperor of Destruction]], Deathsaurus created a gigantic battle fortress capable of destroying planets, but an attack by the young [[Autobot]] commander [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] saw the fortress de-powered and trapped within a region of space known as the [[Dark Nebula]]. This began the enmity between Star Saber and Deathsaurus, and as both combatants rose through the ranks of their respective armies, Deathsaurus vowed to eventually liberate his fortress and use it to destroy Star Saber.

[[Image:Deszaras1.jpg|left|thumb|Only way I could be more evil would be with a twisty [[Facial hair|mustache]].]]

After the conclusion of the [[Masterforce|Masterforce war]] on Earth, Deathsaurus set his sights on the planet's vast energy sources, and, from his command post on the Decepticons' starcraft the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'', he directed his troops, the [[Breastforce]] and [[Dinoforce]] in attacks on the planet. Deathsaurus rarely dirtied his own hands, entering battle only rarely, and only when there was a chance that he could confront Star Saber directly, such as there was when he led the Breastforce in raiding the electrical energy of American subway systems. This led him to be the object of great contempt from Breastforce sub-leader [[Leozack]], who schemed against Deathsaurus, but systematically failed to succeed in his numerous ploys, either as a result of his own incompetence or the counter-scheming of his subordinate, [[Hellbat]], who sought to overthrow both him and Deathsaurus. Deathsaurus was no fool, however, and remained perpetually aware of Leozack's plans—when the time came, he thrashed the Breastforcer in combat and forced him to swear utter loyalty to him.

[[Image:DeathsaurusAnime1.jpg|right|thumb|Form Blazing Sword!]]

While Star Saber was on the planet [[Micro]], Deathsaurus returned to the Dark Nebula to investigate the possibility of reactivating his fortress; he did not have enough energy, but was at least able to confirm that the fortress was in functional order and could be reactivated when the time came. Unfortunately for him, having expended what energy he had to confirm this, he was unable to finish Star Saber when he engaged him in battle in space on the return trip. Later, back on Earth, Deathsaurus lured Star Saber into a trap in the desert, where he attacked with the power of the [[Living Metal-Destroying Cannon]].

The weapon almost finished Star Saber off until [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]] intervened and was left at death's door instead, but when he was reconstructed as [[Victory Leo]] and combined with Star Saber to form [[Victory Saber]], they were able to thwart Deathsaurus's plan to bombard Earth with missiles.

[[Image:Deszaras2.jpg|left|thumb|What is he overcompensating for, we wonder.]]

Discovering that the sunken continent of [[Atlantis]] contained enough raw energy to re-energize his fortress, Deathsaurus ransacked the ancient ruins and abandoned the Dinoforce to their fate as the ''Thunder Arrow'' shot off into space to fulfill his evil plan. With the fortress active and headed directly for Earth, even Victory Saber could not stand up to its power, but a resentful Dinosaur Force supplied information on the fortress's weak spot to Star Saber's adopted human son, [[Jean Minakaze|Jean]], who used his own [[Illumina II|personal mech]] to enter the fortress and strike at this vulnerability. As he did so, Deathsaurus and Star Saber engaged in a vicious battle, during which Deathsaurus lost an eye, and was eventually stopped when Star Saber broke his sword off in the villain's chest. Gushing fuel and fluid, Deathsaurus vowed to have the last laugh as he set the crippled fortress on a collision course with Earth and blew himself out an airlock, vowing to return again and again. But, as his body drifted off into space, no sign of life was visible from the conquered emperor. Victory Saber subsequently destroyed the fortress, but Deathsaurus was not heard from again.

===''Victory'' manga===
[[Image:Kingsaurus.jpg|right|thumb|The mighty King Zaras. Mighty.]]

As a parallel to Star Saber's adoption of [[Jean Minakaze|Jean]], Deathsaurus had a "son" of his own, a human boy named [[Solon Kitakaze]]. Solon's mother was killed during a Decepticon attack on Earth, and Deathsaurus "adopted" the boy, turning him into a cyborg and raising him to believe that he was his son. Solon had frequent clashes with Jean, whose school he began attending, which often degenerated into "my dad can beat up your dad"-style arguments as their "fathers" battled. At one point, Deathsaurus even attempted to bribe Jean into joining the Decepticons with toys, games, candy and cash.

Solon had his own battle armour and often rode Deathsaurus's Breastars as steeds, but when Victory Leo and Star Saber merged into Victory Saber, Deathsaurus sought a way to increase his own power in a similar fashion and crafted a Transformer-sized mech for Solon named [[King Solon]], with which he was able to combine, forming [[King Zaras]]. However, in the midst of this battle, Solon discovered the truth about his mother, and his distraction allowed Victory Saber to destroy the King Solon mecha. Deathsaurus fled, abandoning Solon, who accepted his earthly heritage and joined the Autobots.

During the final battle, as Deathsaurus's fortress attacks the Earth, it is he who battles Star Saber in space ''(unlike the animated series, in which Liokaiser takes this role)''. Leozack, then, is able to take his treachery to the ultimate extreme by turning the fortress's power on Deathsaurus, and Deathsaurus cripples the craft with his cannon as Star Saber takes Leozack down. Then, the wounded Deathsaurus reveals the true reason he has quested to liberate the fortress from the Dark Nebula{{m-}}it is home to the Decepticons' families and civilians. As the shocked Autobots discover this, they meet Deathsaurus's wife, [[Esmeryl]] and Deathsaurus and Star Saber then make peace, shaking hands and vowing to work together for the betterment of the Transformer race.

===Descent into Evil===
[[Image:Deathsaurustimelines.jpg|left|thumb|Deathsaurus orchestrates the rise of a New Decepticon Empire, or NAMBLA.]]

Using a clone lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]], Deathsaurus wished to revive the fading [[Decepticon Empire]] with a vast [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] army. After the first batch of [[Virulent Clone|clones]] was completed, his operation was interrupted by a team of [[Autobot]] commandos under the command of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. Deathsaurus overpowered and captured the first wave himself, and soon faced Ironhide one-on-one, while [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] attempted to rescue the fallen Autobots. Due to the assistance of Tripredacus Agent [[Flamewar]], these two were defeated and captured as well.

They woke up bound inside Deathsaurus' clone lab. The Emperor of Destruction appeared on a television screen, declaring that his use for the lab was completed and was prepared to detonate it remotely with the Autobots inside. Unfortunately for Deathsaurus, the Autobot espionage agent [[Ricochet (Descent into Evil)|Ricochet]] not only freed the Autobots before the explosion occurred, but also seeded the remaining clones with a virus, leaving Deathsaurus with nothing to show for his work.

==Toys==
===Victory===
* '''Deszaras''' (Large Breastforce, 1989)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-336'''
**''Accessories'': Tail/shield, rifle, Tigerbreast & Eaglebreast "Breast Animals"

: The original Deathsaurus toy transformed into a nondescript dragon-lizard thing with wings (or giant mutant space chicken) that doesn't really look like anything except ugly. Unusually for post-Generation 1 toys, he has [[die-cast]]-metal feet in beast mode.

: In robot mode, both of his [[Breast Animal]] components can be slotted inside his spring-loaded chest (or ''kaiju''-mode back) to form his elaborate torso armor; Eaglebreast must go in first, then Tigerbreast added on top. Both Breast Animals can also become hand-held weapons. He is armed with a light blue laser rifle {{m-}} which, despite what the boxart and cartoon would have you believe, does ''not'' have a removable flail{{m-}} and a large shield constructed out of his tail that can mount on either bicep.

===Timelines===
* '''Descent into Evil''' (multi-pack, 2005)
**''Accessories'': 2 hilts, 2 sword-blade/missiles

[[Image:Deathsaurusbotcontoy.jpg|left|thumb|If you squint, he could still be [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]].]]

: Part of the [[BotCon 2005]] "Descent into Evil" boxset, Deathsaurus is a blue and black [[retool]] of ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' version of [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron/Galvatron]]. He comes with a pair of swords that can launch their blade-missiles through a pressure-launch mechanism, as well as combine at their bottom ends to form a large double-blade weapon. The blade-missiles are rounded off [[for safety reasons]] like the other [[Hasbro]] uses of the mold.

: His head is a new sculpt based on Deathsaurus's appearance in the ''Victory'' anime (though Deathsaurus's face seems to be copied from Megatron's). Deathsaurus's mold was originally a ten-changer, though the "gargoyle"/bat mode was neutered for this release due to the dropping of the bat snout piece, required to give his new head enough space inside his chest cavity for other modes. He still retains the other nine modes (robot, dragster, jet, two-headed dragon, hand, mammoth, hydrofoil, one-headed dragon, and winged griffin). His tail-piece was removed for in-box storage, but easily popped back on since it's on a ball-and-socket joint.

==Merchandise==
===Super Figure Collection===
* '''Deszaras''' (2002)
[[Image:SFCAct7Deszaras.jpg|left|thumb|100px|It was cold. I dressed in layers.]]

: Deathsaurus was released in Act 7 of the Takara [[Super Collection Figure]] line as a non-transforming PVC with a funky pose and limited posability. Two pieces came per case of 12 PVCs, one in full-color and one in pewter-finish. He also came with a clear-plastic stand, and the pewter version came with one piece to add to wave-mate [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] to turn him into [[Victory Saber]]. (This add-on piece could also be either full-color or pewter-finish.)

: A limited chase version (shown here) features his inner Breastforce member, Eaglebreast, rather than the normal version's Tigerbreast.

[[Image:Deathsauruspin.jpg|thumb|75px|Deathstickus]]

* '''Deathsaurus pin''' (2005)

: The first 100 BotCon 2005 Primus-package preregistrants received an exclusive Deathsaurus pin as part of their registration package.

==Trivia==
* Deathsaurus's name is the source of a long-lasting argument. The phonetic Japanese reading of the name is: "De-su-za-ra-su". This is represented in English on his toy packaging and tech specs as "Deszaras." English-speaking fans would long debate the "proper" [[romanization]] of the name, interpreting it as Deszaras, Deathzaras, Deathsaurus, Death Czarus, Def Zarce, Deaths 'R' Us, Debt Source, Darth Sass, Death's Arse and god knows what else. "Deathsaurus" had a tendency to be the most popular and well-known (on account of it actually ''meaning'' something), which led to it being used on the character's first official Western toy, making it his official American name. However, it is unlikely that this was supposed to be the actual name for the character—were his name "saurus", then it would be rendered as "sa-u-ru-su" or "za-u-ru-su" in Japanese, rather than "za-ra-su"—and that his name was genuinely intended to be the word, "Deszaras", which resembles the pattern for naming of [[Wikipedia:Kaiju|Kaiju]] monsters (see below). The character appears with the "Deszaras" name on the Region 2 ''Transformers: Victory'' DVD boxset.

:Anyway, if you plan on insisting his name is "Deszaras", please learn to spell it.

* While often called a dragon or occasionally a griffin (or a giant chicken), Deathsaurus is most likely styled after traditional Japanese "kaiju", such as [[Godzilla]] or Rodan. Hence, the Kaiju-esque name, "Deszaras".

* His Japanese name (Deszaras) is spelled really closely to the Hungarian phrase for "so shitty" and also the equivalent to "bugger me", which in turn, if taken literally, means "to crap oneself in the pants". Whichever phrase we look at, the incident nevertheless caused a lot of joy in the Hungarian fan community.

* In Dreamwave's [[The Route of All Evil|''Generation One'' #10]], Deathsaurus was seen as a statue representing an ancient transformer, together with [[Dai Atlas]].

* The original Deathsaurus mold was redecoed into the non-living "Red Geist" mech for [[Takara]]'s ''[[Brave|Brave of Legend Da Garn]]'' toyline, which lacked the Eaglebreast partner. Although the character design in the television show for the line was significantly modified from that of Deathsaurus, including replacing Tigerbreast's tiger mode with a jet mode, the Red Geist toy itself was not retooled.

William Lennox

124.168.81.170:

: ''William Lennox is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:lennox-slide-shoot.jpg|right|thumb|250px|YOU DISHONOR MY FAMILY!]]

'''William Lennox''' is a Captain in the [[United States Military|United States Army Rangers]], stationed at [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]]. A young, yet capable officer, Lennox has the friendship and trust of the men under his command.

He has a [[Sarah Lennox|wife]] and a newborn daughter [[United States|back home]].

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[Josh Duhamel]]

[[Image:Movie_Lennox_Scorponoktail.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Yeah, real good work watching your commander's back, all you guys standin' in the background.]]

Returning back to SOCCENT after a mission behind enemy lines, Lennox's men discussed what they were going to do once they got home to the States. As usual, [[Jorge Figueroa|Fig]] talked about his mom's cooking in Spanish, [[Robert Epps|Epps]] commented that he'll never accept a dinner invitation to Fig's house and [[Sergeant Donnelly|Donnelly]] reminisced about flat beer, cold hot dogs and baseball on weekends. When asked about what he wanted to do, Lennox replied that he only wanted to hold his baby girl for the first time, to which his men teased him for his sappy sentiment.

After their CV-22 Ospreys touched down, Lennox was writing a report when local boy [[Mahfouz]] visited him carrying a bag of water. Soon afterwards, he talked to his wife Sarah and their daughter on the satellite video phone. Lennox declared that their daughter was so cute that he just wanted to chew on her cheeks, and that they both made one good looking kid. To his delight, Sarah told him their girl has his laugh, though he wondered if she had merely farted. Around the same time as a [[Blackout (Movie)|mysterious MH-53 Pave Low]] helicopter had landed on the base, his connection to Sarah became distorted, and he tried to tell her that he'll be home soon as the transmission was cut.

Suddenly, the base was under attack as the helicopter somehow transformed into a giant walking weapons platform. Leading his men and the boy Mahfouz, they witnessed Epps nearly being crushed by the weapons platform before Fig saved him by firing a sabot from his grenade launcher into the 'chest' of the weapon. With Epps in tow, Lennox's unit escaped as the robot laid waste to SOCCENT, leaving no survivors.

The next morning, after making their way through the desert, the men discussed the past night's events, with Epps expressing his belief that the weapon, whatever it was, looked right back at him as he was taking its photograph. Lennox determined that no matter what, they had to get the information back to [[the Pentagon]], and asked Mahfouz to lead them to his village where they could find a telephone line. Unknown to them, [[Scorponok (Movie)|a second robot]], a mechanical scorpion, was listening to their conversation and stalking them. As they neared the outskirts of the village, a metal spiked tail rose out of the sand and was about to kill Lennox when Epps fired at it, saving his life. Unfortunately, the giant scorpion killed top kick Donnelly and the men ran for their lives to relative cover of the village.

Ordering the men to form a defensive perimeter, Lennox followed Mahfouz to his father [[Akram]]'s house, the latter of whom provided him with a cell phone. As the others fought off Scorponok, Lennox attempted to call for help from the Pentagon, but had more than a little trouble with the operator who demanded a credit card despite the life-and-death situation he was in. After successfully searching for Epps's credit card in one of the latter's many back pockets, Lennox successfully contacted the Pentagon, but not before the operator tried to get him to sign onto a Premium Plus World Service Gold Package. He'll never use that company again.

[[Image:Movie_LennoxEpps_backpockets.jpg|right|thumb|250px|10: LEFT CHEEK!
20: GOTO 10]]

The Pentagon sent in two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from Strike Package Bravo. Lennox ordered the men to light up the target for the the Air Force' radars to lock onto and fire upon. Unfortunately, the A-10s did no appreciable damage to the metal scorpion, with Epps expressing disbelief that it could still be alive. With the call of [[Bring the rain|"Bring the rain!"]], Lennox suggested the biggest barrels the Air Force had: the 105 millimeter cannons of AC-130 Spectre gunship. The cannonade pounded Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dove into the sand, but not before leaving part of its damaged tail behind. Lennox and Epps ran to check on Fig, who had been struck by one of the scorpion's missiles.

En-route back to the America, the team studied the tail segment they salvaged from the battle scene. An analyst observeded that it seemed to be covered in a [[Self-regenerating molecular armor]]. Lennox pointed out where a sabot round had burned right through. Turning to Epps's expertise, he asked if it was correct that sabot rounds had a 6000 degree magnesium burn, which Epps said was true. As Lennox ordered Epps to tell command to load sabot rounds on all their gunships, the tail suddenly came to life and narrowly missed impaling them. Epps angrily berated the analyst for telling them it was dead; Lennox ordered them to strap the tail down, while concluding that the technology behind it was 'wicked'. Touching down at Nellis Air Force Base, Lennox's men had barely walked off the plane when [[Sector Seven|mysterious government agents]] pulled up in black SUVs and ordered the Rangers to come with them.

After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], Lennox and his unit meet with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]], and were taken to see [[Megatron (Movie)|the Iceman]]. After the Iceman began to thaw, Lennox and his unit headed for the armory, where they were having a special on forty mm sabot rounds.

When [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] asked [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] to free [[Bumblebee (Movie)|a good robot]], Simmons refused to listen, until Lennox got him to cooperate by putting a gun to his chest, resulting in a Mexican standoff between his unit and Sector Seven. Simmons ordered him to release him, but Lennox told Simmons he and his men didn't take orders from people who didn't exist. They won the standoff (losing really isn't an option for those guys.) Lennox and his men subsequently escorted Sam and the car to [[Mission City]], meeting [[Autobot|other good robot]]s en route.

After arriving in Mission City, they were attacked by a [[Seeker|fighter jet]] which [[Ironhide (Movie)|some truck]] called "[[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]". Later, [[Brawl (Movie)|a tank]] started shelling them, until the good robots totally triple teamed it. Lennox and his men engaged the tank, but it just wouldn't die. Telling Sam to take the [[All Spark]] to a building to be evacuated, Lennox and his team engaged the tank thing, which began to overpower them. It was only with the help of the the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the Camaro]] and [[Mikaela Banes|some girl]] that they were able to kill the thing.

Later, Lennox and his men went to assist [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in his fight with Megatron. During the battle, that helicopter which attacked the base in Qatar arrived and went to help his boss. Lennox totally killed it dead by the time-honored method of:

* Getting on a motorcycle
* Jumping off the motorcycle as it slams into the enemy
* Sliding under his opponent.
* Shooting them in the [[gearbox]] with sabot rounds until they are dead.
* Going "woo-hoo", "yee-ha", or another exclamation of success.

His final action in the battle of Mission City was to shoot a sabot round in the chest of Megatron, offering an opening to Sam to ram the All Spark in his chest, thus allowing the victory. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

After the deaths of the [[Decepticon]]s, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] <s>[[Samuel James Witwicky|rode him ho]]-OH GOD NO</s> gave him a ride home, where he was reunited with his wife and met his newborn daughter.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie_Figueroa_cutscene.jpg|thumb|right|200px|By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be ''avenged!'']]

* A later scene where Lennox comforts the dying Figueroa was cut from the theatrical release of the film, but briefly seen in the December 2006 trailer. The scene survived in both [[Transformers: The Movie (novel)|the novelization]] and the [[Transformers: The Junior Novel|children's novelization]] where (despite many changes made to tone down descriptions of violence against ''robots'') he still died. Go fig!

* Early scripts give Lennox's rank as Sergeant.

* Lennox is given the nickname "Wild Bill" in the novelization. Whether this was a deliberate reference to the G.I.Joe character remains unknown.

* Josh Duhamel's left foot was injured by a piece of fake shrapnel during filming.<ref>Duhamel made fun of his minor injury during the Second Life Virtual Press Conference (the shrapnel was made of ''cork'' and it cut his ''pinky'') explaining that he wasn't allowed to do his own stunts.</ref>
[[Image:Movie_ScreenBattles_Sector7figures.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Hey! It's me! Lennox!]]
* [[Transformers: The Movie (novel)|The novelization]] reveals that Lennox's daughter's name is Annabelle.

* The '''Capture of Bumblebee''' set from the "Screen Battles" packs features what appear to be two [[Sector Seven]] soldiers, but one of them is obviously Lennox painted in Sector Seven colors.

As usual, [[Jorge Figueroa|Fig]] talked about his mom's cooking in Spanish, [[Robert Epps|Epps]] commented that he'll never accept a dinner invitation to Fig's house and [[Sergeant Donnelly|Donnelly]] reminisced about flat beer, cold hot dogs and baseball on weekends. When asked about what he wanted to do, Lennox replied that he only wanted to hold his baby girl for the first time, to which his men teased him for his sappy sentiment.

After their CV-22 Ospreys touched down, Lennox was writing a report when local boy [[Mahfouz]] visited him carrying a bag of water. Soon afterwards, he talked to his wife Sarah and their daughter on the satellite video phone. Lennox declared that their daughter was so cute that he just wanted to chew on her cheeks, and that they both made one good looking kid. To his delight, Sarah told him their girl has his laugh, though he wondered if she had merely farted. Around the same time as a [[Blackout (Movie)|mysterious MH-53 Pave Low]] helicopter had landed on the base, his connection to Sarah became distorted, and he tried to tell her that he'll be home soon as the transmission was cut.

Suddenly, the base was under attack as the helicopter somehow transformed into a giant walking weapons platform. Leading his men and the boy Mahfouz, they witnessed Epps nearly being crushed by the weapons platform before Fig saved him by firing a sabot from his grenade launcher into the 'chest' of the weapon. With Epps in tow, Lennox's unit escaped as the robot laid waste to SOCCENT, leaving no survivors.

The next morning, after making their way through the desert, the men discussed the past night's events, with Epps expressing his belief that the weapon, whatever it was, looked right back at him as he was taking its photograph. Lennox determined that no matter what, they had to get the information back to [[the Pentagon]], and asked Mahfouz to lead them to his village where they could find a telephone line. Unknown to them, [[Scorponok (Movie)|a second robot]], a mechanical scorpion, was listening to their conversation and stalking them. As they neared the outskirts of the village, a metal spiked tail rose out of the sand and was about to kill Lennox when Epps fired at it, saving his life. Unfortunately, the giant scorpion killed top kick Donnelly and the men ran for their lives to relative cover of the village.

Ordering the men to form a defensive perimeter, Lennox followed Mahfouz to his father [[Akram]]'s house, the latter of whom provided him with a cell phone. As the others fought off Scorponok, Lennox attempted to call for help from the Pentagon, but had more than a little trouble with the operator who demanded a credit card despite the life-and-death situation he was in. After successfully searching for Epps's credit card in one of the latter's many back pockets, Lennox successfully contacted the Pentagon, but not before the operator tried to get him to sign onto a Premium Plus World Service Gold Package. He'll never use that company again.

[[Image:Movie_LennoxEpps_backpockets.jpg|right|thumb|250px|10: LEFT CHEEK!
20: GOTO 10]]

The Pentagon sent in two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from Strike Package Bravo. Lennox ordered the men to light up the target for the the Air Force' radars to lock onto and fire upon. Unfortunately, the A-10s did no appreciable damage to the metal scorpion, with Epps expressing disbelief that it could still be alive. With the call of [[Bring the rain|"Bring the rain!"]], Lennox suggested the biggest barrels the Air Force had: the 105 millimeter cannons of AC-130 Spectre gunship. The cannonade pounded Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dove into the sand, but not before leaving part of its damaged tail behind. Lennox and Epps ran to check on Fig, who had been struck by one of the scorpion's missiles.

En-route back to the America, the team studied the tail segment they salvaged from the battle scene. An analyst observeded that it seemed to be covered in a [[Self-regenerating molecular armor]]. Lennox pointed out where a sabot round had burned right through. Turning to Epps's expertise, he asked if it was correct that sabot rounds had a 6000 degree magnesium burn, which Epps said was true. As Lennox ordered Epps to tell command to load sabot rounds on all their gunships, the tail suddenly came to life and narrowly missed impaling them. Epps angrily berated the analyst for telling them it was dead; Lennox ordered them to strap the tail down, while concluding that the technology behind it was 'wicked'. Touching down at Nellis Air Force Base, Lennox's men had barely walked off the plane when [[Sector Seven|mysterious government agents]] pulled up in black SUVs and ordered the Rangers to come with them.

After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], Lennox and his unit meet with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]], and were taken to see [[Megatron (Movie)|the Iceman]]. After the Iceman began to thaw, Lennox and his unit headed for the armory, where they were having a special on forty mm sabot rounds.

When [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] asked [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] to free [[Bumblebee (Movie)|a good robot]], Simmons refused to listen, until Lennox got him to cooperate by putting a gun to his chest, resulting in a Mexican standoff between his unit and Sector Seven. Simmons ordered him to release him, but Lennox told Simmons he and his men didn't take orders from people who didn't exist. They won the standoff (losing really isn't an option for those guys.) Lennox and his men subsequently escorted Sam and the car to [[Mission City]], meeting [[Autobot|other good robot]]s en route.

After arriving in Mission City, they were attacked by a [[Seeker|fighter jet]] which [[Ironhide (Movie)|some truck]] called "[[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]". Later, [[Brawl (Movie)|a tank]] started shelling them, until the good robots totally triple teamed it. Lennox and his men engaged the tank, but it just wouldn't die. Telling Sam to take the [[All Spark]] to a building to be evacuated, Lennox and his team engaged the tank thing, which began to overpower them. It was only with the help of the the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the Camaro]] and [[Mikaela Banes|some girl]] that they were able to kill the thing.

Later, Lennox and his men went to assist [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in his fight with Megatron. During the battle, that helicopter which attacked the base in Qatar arrived and went to help his boss. Lennox totally killed it dead by the time-honored method of:

* Getting on a motorcycle
* Jumping off the motorcycle as it slams into the enemy
* Sliding under his opponent.
* Shooting them in the [[gearbox]] with sabot rounds until they are dead.
* Going "woo-hoo", "yee-ha", or another exclamation of success.

His final action in the battle of Mission City was to shoot a sabot round in the chest of Megatron, offering an opening to Sam to ram the All Spark in his chest, thus allowing the victory. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

After the deaths of the [[Decepticon]]s, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] <s>rode him ho-OH GOD NO</s> gave him a ride home, where he was reunited with his wife and met his newborn daughter.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie_Figueroa_cutscene.jpg|thumb|right|200px|By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be ''avenged!'']]

* A later scene where Lennox comforts the dying Figueroa was cut from the theatrical release of the film, but briefly seen in the December 2006 trailer. The scene survived in both [[Transformers: The Movie (novel)|the novelization]] and the [[Transformers: The Junior Novel|children's novelization]] where (despite many changes made to tone down descriptions of violence against ''robots'') he still died. Go fig!

* Early scripts give Lennox's rank as Sergeant.

* Lennox is given the nickname "Wild Bill" in the novelization. Whether this was a deliberate reference to the G.I.Joe character remains unknown.

* Josh Duhamel's left foot was injured by a piece of fake shrapnel during filming.<ref>Duhamel made fun of his minor injury during the Second Life Virtual Press Conference (the shrapnel was made of ''cork'' and it cut his ''pinky'') explaining that he wasn't allowed to do his own stunts.</ref>
[[Image:Movie_ScreenBattles_Sector7figures.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Hey! It's me! Lennox!]]
* [[Transformers: The Movie (novel)|The novelization]] reveals that Lennox's daughter's name is Annabelle.

* The '''Capture of Bumblebee''' set from the "Screen Battles" packs features what appear to be two [[Sector Seven]] soldiers, but one of them is obviously Lennox painted in Sector Seven colors.

Mikaela Banes

2008-06-09T07:48:15Z

124.168.81.170:

{{picsneeded|Alternate universe "Twilight" Mikaela.}}

: ''Mikaela is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie_MikaelaBanes.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Dull surprise|Dull surprise!]]]]

'''Mikaela Banes''' is a high school student. A beauty with brains, a penchant for fixing cars; no wonder [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] kindly offered <s>to ride her home</s> to give her a ride home in [[Bumblebee (Movie)|his new car]].

She does not seem to mind making out on top of an alien car while [[Autobot|other alien car]]s watch. Kinky.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007) movie===
:''Actor:'' [[Megan Fox]] (English) [[Kanako Toujô]] (Japanese-language dub voice)

[[Image:Movie_Mikaela_carfix.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Mikaela fails to find an enchilada of freedom under [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee's]] hood.]]

Mikaela learned how to fix cars from her father, a long-time car thief who has presumably been single for some time. When he couldn't find a babysitter, he'd bring young Mikaela along, and she learned his trade. She hid her automotive knowledge from her boyfriends, for fear that they will be insecure around a girl who knows more about cars than they do.

She went to school with Sam Witwicky since first grade, but had failed to notice him at all during that entire time. After a spat with her boyfriend [[Trent DeMarco|Trent]], she dumped him, and Sam gave her a ride home in his new car. When the car suffered engine trouble, she took a look at the engine and was very impressed with the layout. Sam was more impressed with her. After Sam drove her home, Mikaela asked him if he thought she was "shallow", to which Sam awkwardly replied that he thought that there was "more than meets the eye...with...you."

[[Image:Movie_Mikaela_Sam_Frenzy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Slasher film with a twist: Girl wields chainsaw against maniac alien monster!]]

The next day, Mikaela was having lunch with her friends when Sam passed by on his mother's bike, saying that his car was following him. Concerned, she followed him on her moped, but just as she caught up, Sam knocked her off. Angry, she demanded to know what his problem was...at which point [[Barricade (Movie)|a monster cop car]] came charging out from under the bridge where Sam had just been. Sam's Camaro knocked the monster down and then urged them to get in. After a hectic chase, the two teens arrived at a deserted chemical plant, where the Camaro [[Transformation|transformed]] into a [[Transformer|giant robot]]. However, the monster unleashed [[Frenzy (Movie)|a spastic abomination]] that went after Sam and pantsed him. Heading to an abandoned tool shed, Mikaela found a power saw and attacked the smaller robot, decapitating it. Mikaela then watched with trepidation as Sam tried to communicate with his now-bipedal car, learning that it could only speak through the radio and that it was an alien who had summoned others of its kind to [[Earth]]. Mikaela remained unsure about re-entering the vehicle, but then Sam asked her a simple question: "Fifty years from now, when you're looking back at your life, don't you wanna say you had the guts to get into the car?" Mikaela reluctantly agreed...unaware that the decapitated robot had slipped into her purse.

She still refused to sit in the driver's seat, as the car was driving, so Sam argued that since he had the only other seatbelt, she should sit in his lap. Safety first, after all. Mikaela agreed, then admitted that it was a smooth move on Sam's part. She then asked why the car turned back into a piece-of-crap Camaro if it was such a super-advanced robot. Insulted, the car forced the two teens out, only to return moments later as a sleek and shiny 2009 model. The car then took them to a local observatory, where they could see four meteors entering Earth's atmosphere. Mikaela instinctively reached for Sam's hand as this spectacle took place. The Camaro then brought them to an abandoned alley, where four more cars joined them, then transformed into robots. After inquiring Sam's identity, the lead robot introduced himself as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], the [[Prime (rank)|leader]] of the [[Autobot]]s, a race of sentient robots from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Prime introduced [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], his first lieutenant; [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], his weapons expert; [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], their medical officer (who revealed that Sam's pheromone levels indicated that he wanted to mate with Mikaela, something that embarrassed both teens); and identified the Camaro as Bumblebee, Sam's guardian. When Mikaela asked their intentions, Optimus explained their mission to find the [[All Spark]], the betrayal of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s, and how [[Archibald Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]] played a role in finding their target.

[[Image:Movie Mikaela Prime's hand.JPG|left|thumb|250px|Now THAT'S home delivery!]]

Heading to Sam's house, Mikaela was told to stay and watch the Autobots, though they eventually headed to Sam's backyard and proceeded to cause some havoc. Losing patience with Sam's inability to locate the glasses within a couple of minutes, Optimus gave Mikaela a boost up through Sam's window so she could help. Further difficulties arose when Ratchet accidentally hit some powerlines, causing a blackout. The blackout and their shuffling around attracted the unwanted attention of [[Ronald Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], and Mikaela hid before they came in. This led to some awkward conversation as Sam tried to explain what was going on, until Mikaela finally stood up, revealing her presence as a "<strike>girlfriend</strike>" "a friend" of Sam's. This genuinely delighted his parents, and his mother rather awkwardly apologized for their family discussion. Mikaela commented that she thought Mrs. Witwicky was nice.

When [[Sector Seven]] forcibly detained Mikaela and Sam's family, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] revealed that she had a police record, confirmed that she was hot, and threatened her father's upcoming parole hearing. This strategy nearly made Mikaela cry...until Optimus Prime ripped off the roof of their SUV and <s>made Agent Simmons his bitch</s> demanded that the agents get out of the car and release the two teens. After the Autobots rescued the pair, Sam expressed misgivings about Mikaela's history. She huffily confided to him that her record stemmed from her refusal to turn her father over to the authorities. Sector Seven soon recaptured both teenagers (along with Bumblebee) and brought them to [[Hoover Dam]]. There Sam negotiated with Simmons to have Mikaela's criminal record expunged as part of his reward for helping Sector Seven with the information he had about the Transformers. Mikaela was pleased with and grateful for Sam's change in attitude toward her.

Inside Hoover Dam, the teens, along [[John Keller|Defense Secretary Keller]], [[Maggie Madsen|two]] [[Glen Whitmann|hackers]], and [[William Lennox|some]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]], were shown the frozen body of [[N.B.E.-1]], which Sam and Mikaela recognized as Megatron, as well as a demonstration of the All Spark. However, the robot hiding in Mikaela's purse had slipped away and contacted the other Decepticons. Sam, with some help from one of the soldiers, managed to convince Sector Seven to release Bumblebee, who reformatted the cube.

[[Image:Movie_Mikaela_Bumblebee_deadBrawl.jpg|thumb|250px|Bumblebee totally checks out Mikaela's butt—er, the destruction he caused. Yeah, that's it.]]

They group fled to [[Mission City]], soon joined by the Autobots. During the Decepticon attack at Mission City, Bumblebee was injured by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and Mikaela strapped the injured Bumblebee to an abandoned tow truck. Sam told her to get Bumblebee (and herself) away from the battle, while he took the All Spark to a building to be extracted by the military. They left, but Mikaela was soon overcome with guilt and frustration for having left. Looking at Bumblebee, the injured robot gave a simple nod, and Mikaela decided to go back. She drove the tow truck backwards through the battle while Bumblebee shot at [[Brawl (Movie)|the tank]], destroying the Decepticon.

After the death of Megatron, Sam and Mikaela began dating, even making out on Bumblebee while the Autobots watched. That's kinky. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

===Transformers: The Game===
:''Voice Actor: [[Megan Fox]]''

She totally understands the [[Megatron (Movie)|frozen nemesis]], [[All Spark|robot lifeforce]], and magic [[glasses]] parts, but she still has trouble understanding why the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|super scout]] turns into a beater. Women.

===Titan Magazine===
In an alternate reality, the Decepticons won, and Mikaela is part of the resistance. She's an experienced veteran of guerilla warfare and partnered with Bumblebee, who was an old friend by this point. She still grieves over Sam's death.

She wears tight, body-hugging black spy clothes, including leather gloves and long boots. Hawt.

She and Bumblebee raided a Decepticon facility (the former [[Sector 7]] base) to rescue Optimus Prime, Earth's last hope{{m-}}only to find him frozen and offline—and to attract Megatron's attention. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9}} While the tyrant hunted Bumblebee, Mikaela tried to thaw out Optimus with guidance from [[Tom Banachek]]. Unfortunately, [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] was watching her... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10}} ...and when he shot at her, she immediately dodged and grabbed a fire-axe, ''this'' time intending to finish him for good. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11}} He managed to dodge her every attack and smack her backwards into the liquid nitrogen tanks, but she appears to have wanted this: she dodged his finishing blow, letting him shatter the tank (freezing him to death in the process) while she escaped the area with a really cool slide under the door. Phase One was now complete and Optimus Prime was thawing out.

Phase Two involved entering a restricted area of the base with Tom's help and finding what appears to be a small [[All Spark]] replica... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12}}

John Keller

{{picsneeded}}
:''John Keller is a [[human]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Johnkeller.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Keller sidesteps comedy gold by not being the Vice President.]]

'''John Keller''' is [[Wikipedia:United States Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]] of the [[United States of America]]. He not only seems to pretty much run the country while the [[President of the United States]] binges on Ding-Dongs, but he's also rather handy with a shotgun.

He doesn't want to hear any of this [[Transformer|alien robot]] crap.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[Jon Voight]] (English) [[Minoru Hirano]] (Japanese-language dub voice)

After the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] was attacked by [[Blackout (Movie)|unknown hostiles]], Keller led a briefing on what they knew to a group of [[The Pentagon|Pentagon]]-computer technicians, informing them that someone had tried to hack the Defense Network during the attack. Later, when [[Air Force One]] was hacked by [[Frenzy (Movie)|another unknown hostile]], he ordered the President to be placed in the Presidential bunker.

When he was briefed on the possible countries that were capable of such hacks, [[Maggie Madsen]], who had led the team which discovered the second hack, inflormed him that those countries were incapable of such work. When she suggested that it might be a living organism behind it, Keller told her to find some evidence, or shut up. However, he was later informed that survivors of the base attack were under attack by a hostile. When the Pentagon received video feed, they saw that the hostile was [[Scorponok (Movie)|a never before seen creature]]. After the creature was driven off, Keller ordered the men to be returned to the states and debriefed.

Later, a virus which had been uploaded by the second hacker led to a global communications shutdown. During that time, [[Tom Banachek]] arrived from [[Sector Seven]], an organization Keller had never heard of, with orders from the President to brief Keller. Taking him to the briefing room, Banachek showed Keller images of the [[Mars]] [[Beagle 2 Rover]]. Officially, the rover had crashed and been lost. Unofficially, thirteen seconds of information had been sent before the rover had been destroyed by a [[Decepticon|humanoid creature]]. Visibly horrified, Keller was then shown a picture of the Mars alien, as Banachek then compared that with images of the "weapons platform" the SOCCENT survivors had taken before their retreat. When Keller asked if the planet was under threat of invasion, Banachek told him to look out at the static filled screens. Keller ordered the dispatched naval fleets to be returned somehow, and had Madsen brought with him as his advisor, along with ''her'' advisor [[Glen Whitmann]].

Taken to [[Hoover Dam]], Keller met with [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]], CO of the SOCCENT survivors, and informed him that they were doing their best to load all gunships with sabot rounds. Going inside, he was shocked to see a frozen [[N.B.E.-1]], and was very upset that he had never been informed about it. This was made even worse when [[Samuel James Witwicky|some kid]] told them that N.B.E.-1, whose real name was [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], was the harbringer of death and planned to turn all of Earth's machines to conquer the galaxy with some device called the [[All Spark]]. During a demonstration of the All Spark's power, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] brought Glen's Nokia produced cellphone [[Nokia robot|to life]], commenting that the Japanese were skilled inventors. When Maggie commented that Nokia was from Finland, Keller reminded her that Simmons was a strange man.

After [[Starscream (Movie)|a Decepticon]] attacked the Dam and Megatron began to unthaw, Keller accompanied the others to the armory. During the standoff between Agent Simmons and Captain Lennox over releasing [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the kid's Camaro]], Keller advised Simmons to listen to Lennox. After the Camaro shrank the All Spark, Keller, Simmons, Maggie, and Glen went to the archives room, where they attempted to send out a radio signal to support the soldiers taking the cube to [[Mission City]]. Sadly, the radio had no microphones, but Glen attempted to connect a computer to the radio. Their efforts were interrupted by a spastic little abomination that had hacked Air Force One. Keller provided cover fire with an old shotgun while Glen worked. Fortunately, the spastic abomination killed itself with one of its own razors. After contact was made, Keller used his authorization codes to send air support to Mission City.

After the Decepticons were destroyed, Keller informed the military that Sector Seven was to be shutdown, and that the Decepticon corpses were to be dropped in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], which Keller said was the deepest place on the planet.
