<p>202.143.135.244: </p> <hr /> <div>:''The rail gun is a [[human]] weapon in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series|live-action]] [[continuity family]].''<br /> [[Image:ROTF rail gun.jpg|thumb|right|350px|About the only thing S7 did right.]]<br /> Based on studies of [[Megatron (Movie)|N.B.E.-1]] by [[Sector Seven]], the '''rail gun''' is an advanced anti-[[Transformer|N.B.E.]] weapon which fires a high density metal projectile at Mach Seven, currently used only in secret trials by the [[United States Navy]].<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> <br /> ===''Revenge of the Fallen''=== <br /> After realizing that [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] was trying to get to the [[solar harvester]] inside the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], [[Seymour Simmons]] took a radio from a downed [[Jordan]]ian helicopter and managed to contact the ''U.S.S. John C. Stennis''. Speaking with [[L.M. Wilder|Captain Wilder]], Simmons informed the Captain of Devastator's presence, and said that the rail gun would be the only weapon capable of taking out Devastator. After Wilder said that the rail gun's existence was classified, Simmons screamed not to talk to him about classified and told him to relay a ready order to the properly equipped ship. Wilder contacted the ''U.S.S. Kidd'' and got them linked to Simmons frequency. After Simmons relayed the coordinates, the personnel on the ''Kidd'' aimed and fired the rail gun. The weapon struck Devastator and instantly severed his right arm, causing him to lose his balance and fall from the top of the pyramid to his death below. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> * The specifics about the rail gun being based on studies of Megatron comes from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|novelization]]. <br /> * In the novel, the rail gun was located on the ''Zumwalt'', not the ''Kidd''. Additionally, Wilder was captain of the ''Theodore Roosevelt'', not the ''John C. Stennis''.<br /> * Rail guns are totally real, and their existence is [http://www.military.com/features/0,15240,160195,00.html not at all a secret]. A model as advanced as the one in ''ROTF'' is still many years beyond current technology, however.<br /> * The [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]] adapted the idea of the rail gun into the [[Axiom Gun]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Revenge of the Fallen]]<br /> [[Category:Weapons]]</div>
