Sector Seven

132.185.240.122: /* History */

'''Sector 7''' is a secret government agency. It is so secret, it has its own [http://www.sectorseven.org/ secret website]. It's sooo secret it requires a retinal scan if you tip the password wrong, or a page refresh in last resort. Sector seven is so seeecret that they have to use mundane video or obviousless advertisement to transmit their passwords. It's so secreeet no one knows how is made their building's last two levels, not even the janitor.

They study psychopathic robots and analyze strange messages sent from space by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|cowboys]].

==History==
{{spoiler}}

Sector Seven has been around for a long time, and certianly, an existing group has been around since before Sam Witwicky's Grandfather encountered the [[Mega-Man]] underneath the arctic ice.

Interestingly, even this older version of Sector Seven has a number of interesting artifiacts in their collection. These include pictures and a skull from a "triclops" life form of some kind, a severed bestial arm in a jar (possibly from a version of the Beast Wars, although the sketch is difficult to make out and mechanics maynot be part of it) and what could possibly be a fragment of the [[Golden-Disk]] - What this could potentially spell out for cross-continuity development is most intriguing.

It was founded by seven guys. A pizza boy got inside, once.

*'''1969''' - Sector 7, headed by [[Walter Simmons]] (known internally as "The Old Man"), attempted the first test flight of an [[Ice Man|Megatron (Movie)]] derived spacecraft ([[Ghost 1]]) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside a likewise mysterious [[Allspark|"alien cube"]]. Signs seemed to point to Sector 7 begining to shift from being a secret US millitary opperation to a non-millitary-alliegned deep "black ops" program.<ref>The [[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday]] novel by Allan Dead Foster.</ref>

==Real World==

The Sector Seven website is an [[wikipedia:Alternate reality game|alternate reality game]] website. As time has gone on, there have been different passwords that open up different and more advanced areas of the website. The various story elements so far include:

*An experiment on the Allspark itself that created a lifeform that almost escaped. The Allspark was used on low-power but the resulting life-form's near escape and murder of a Sector Seven scientist means these experiemnts on the Allspark have been put on hold.

*Scientists within Sector Seven arguing with the military that contact should be made with "NBE Two" (Optimus Prime) to form an Alliance. The military is refusing to listen to such suggestions.

*A mysterious "Agent X" is hacking their system and 'leaking' the information to us. Agent X could be a rogue Sector Seven member as he insinuates, but the popular theory is that he is a Decpeticon; possibly Barricade or Frenzy.

*Actual email addresses exist and fans are bombarding the addresses. Some have received replies along the lines of "Keep watching" and "Follow The Cube."

*There have been four passwords thus far, but the second was removed after an apparent "hack" by Agent X. As time goes on, the site will presumably reveal more content and plot line surrounding the movie.

*The casting of [[Hugo Weaving]] as Megatron was "revealed" through the website. [[Sector 7]] agent H. Weaving convinced [[Steven Spielberg|S.S.]], [[Michael Bay|M.B.]], [[Roberto Orci|R.O.]], and [[Alex Kurtzman|A.K.]] to put him in charge of the "[[Megatron (Movie)|Megaman]] issue." {{storylink|Sector 7#Real World|Sector 7 ARG}}

''In the Sector 7 ARG, [[Transformers (2007)]] and all related fiction, materials, and promotional materials are actually a [[counter-information campaign]], designed to discredit leaks and cover up the existance of [[N.B.E.]]s by presenting the facts about them as fictional events. It is suggested that [[Generation 1]] was a similar campaign.''
