'''Alice''' is the kind of girl you ''wish'' you met in college. She's pretty, has... ''prominent'' mammalian characteristics, is incredibly forward about what she wants, and lives next door to [[Leo Spitz]] and [[Sam Witwicky]] in [[Hamilton Hall]]. She's ''really'' interested in Sam. It's a bit suspicious, really; maybe she's just pretending?

:''Actor:'' [[Isabel Lucas]]
Leo pointed out Alice to Sam as he was moving into the dorms at [[Princeton University]]. Leo explained to Sam that he had a thing for the bounteously endowed blonde, and he wanted to make sure Sam knew it so he didn't steal her away. Later that night, Leo had dragged Sam to a fraternity party, where the wayward Witwicky became engrossed in writing [[Cyberglyphics]] symbols in the cake frosting. This caught Alice's eye, and she decided she simply ''had'' to strike up a conversation with the boy who'd just accidentally stuck chocolate frosting in his ear. Though Sam protested against her rather forceful advances, she ignored his pleas until her attempt at seduction was interrupted by the timely arrival of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] on the fraternity house's lawn. Sam appeared grateful for the reprieve until Alice invited herself for a ride. Bumblebee tried his best to monkey-wrench her attempts at conversation with Sam during the ride, but eventually got frustrated and went the expedient route of dousing her in antifreeze. Alice got out and left in a huff.

Later on, Alice made her way to Sam's dorm room to talk to him without the meddling yellow one around. En route she was engaged by Leo, who again proclaimed his desires for her and offered her a meat-laden pizza. She icily ignored him, finding the true object of her desires when the dorm room's door was opened to reveal Sam, who had covered every flat surface in it with Cyberglyphic symbols. Leo, figuring out what was to come next, asked if he could at least watch. Alice summarily shut the door in his face. Once again giving Sam the hard-sell, she forced him onto the bed and began probing his oral region with her tongue. Meanwhile, an entirely different probing appendage snaked out from beneath her skirt. Stealthily retracting the metallic tentacle when [[Mikaela Banes]] burst in, Alice waited until the human had left, and then proceeded to extrude it again and wrap it about Sam's neck, closing off his windpipe. Mikaela returned, hearing Sam's strangled cries, and dislodged Alice by throwing the toolbox containing [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] at her. Leo returned at this point, only to flee as Alice transformed into a robotic war machine!

Alice chased the trio out of the dorm, and through the campus library where she destroyed several shelves with energy blasts, eventually firing wide and blasting a hole in the library wall. Her quarry fled through the opening and Mikaela hotwired a car. Catching up with them, Alice leaped onto the hood and tried to get at Sam by smashing through the windshield. Mikaela tried to shake Alice off by driving, but had no luck until she rammed the car, and thus the Decepticon infiltrator, into a lamp post. Mikaela sped off, making sure to grind what was left of Alice under the car's tires on the way. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

After Alice kicked Leo out of his own dorm room so she could seduce Sam, he watched some TV with his buddies [[Sharsky]] and [[Fassbinder]]. While flipping through channels, they came across an advertisement featuring an animatronic Alice from ''Alice in Wonderland'' which had an uncanny resemblance to their classmate Alice. Leo went back to the dorm room to tell Sam there was something weird about his new girlfriend, but she had already revealed herself. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation}} {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (novel)}}

{{note|This event was not mentioned in the film, except for the very last bit where Leo showed up at the door and started to say something about Alice but was interrupted. Also, she survives in the comic adaptation, where she gets knocked aside by the car, instead of being smashed into a lamp post by it.}}

==Notes==
* Alice having an outer organic form is an homage for the fans to the [[Pretender|Pretenders]].<ref><tt>"Hmm… I'll give you an exclusive here. There is a Pretender. I'm going to get killed for saying that."</tt> ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], [http://movies.ign.com/articles/944/944836p1.html Transformers 2 Rumor Confirmed], IGN.com</ref>
* When Alice reveals her robotty bits, her human flesh sort of folds away, presumably taking her clothing along with it, as when she reappears in human form, she's still fully dressed. On the other hand, she clearly changed clothes throughout the course of the film, which poses some, ah, interesting questions.
* While in robot mode, the tip of her tongue stays "organic". It's really disturbing.
* One of only two known Transformers to have a [[Sari Sumdac|human altmode]]. Oddly, both are female.
* Some stunts for Alice were done by stuntwoman [[Tarah Paige]].

'''Processor-over-matter''' is an advanced cyber-ninja technique that allows the ninja-bot to [[Jedi|manipulate his surroundings]] using a supreme state of mental concentration.

==Fiction==
===Transformers Animated===
The martial arts master [[Yoketron]] is the foremost expert on this technique, and he was able to pass on the basics to [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] before he was killed.{{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

Prowl had little success with the technique for the most part, only showing the first glimmering of it when he used it to escape from [[stasis cuffs]].{{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}} This revelation proved fleeting, and subsequent attempts met with mixed success. {{storylink|TransWarped}} Prowl eventually achieved mastery of this technique after he learned [[Lockdown|who]] had been Yoketron's murderer. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}
