'''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==

:''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 robot. Leading his men and the boy Mahfouz, they witnessed Epps nearly being crushed by the weapons platform before Fig saves 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 nearly killed 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 sends in two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from Strike Package Bravo, to which Lennox orders the men to laze the target for the the Air Force' radars to lock onto and fire upon. Unfortunately, the A-10s do no appreciable damage to the metal scorpion with Epps expressing disbelief that it could still be alive. Lennox suggested the biggest barrels the Air Force has: the 105 millimeter cannons of AC-130 Spectre gunship. This is signaled with a shout of [[Bring the rain|"Bring the rain!"]], pounding Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dived 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 studies the tail they salvaged from the battle scene. As the analyst described 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, to 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, no sooner had Lennox's men walked off the plane when [[Sector Seven|mysterious government agents]] pull up in black SUVs and order the Rangers to come with them.

After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], he and his unit meet with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]], and are taken to see [[Megatron (Movie)|the Iceman]]. After the Iceman began to thaw, Lennox and his unit headed for the armory, where they had 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 refuses to listen, until Lennox gets 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 don't take orders from people who don't exist. They won the standoff. Losing is really not an option for those guys. Lennox and his men subsequently escort 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, which the good robots totally triple teamed. 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 overtake 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]] gave him a ride home, where he was reunited with his wife and met his newborn daughter. It is unknown if he planned to remain with Lennox.

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

* 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.

Verity Carlo

Make no mistake; '''Verity Carlo''' is intelligent, nimble, resourceful, self-reliant and cunning. Problem is, she likes to think she’s tougher, smarter and has more guts than pretty much everyone else. It’s a good part of what allows her to maintain her rootless teen-aged existence hitch-hiking across the United States, living on theft and what little kindness she receives from strangers (although two mace sprays nestled in her backpack attest to how little she’s willing to trust said strangers).

Something happened to Verity when she was a child, though, something that hurt her so badly that she refuses to form a serious bond with anyone or show any sign of fear. It’s been with her so long that she abandoned several foster homes and (presumably) welcoming families when she was in her mid-teens. Because of that hurt Verity sees most people as marks, dupes or threats. Fear of getting hurt again keeps her moving when she maybe ought to settle down, and makes her abrasive and superior.

Whether it’ll get her killed one day is anyone’s guess…

While on the run, as usual, Verity had the (mis)fortune of stealing the palm computer of a [[Machination]] agent{{m-}}a computer she couldn't know mapped out secret [[Decepticon]] bases.

Hunter O'Nion

2008-01-26T21:00:31Z

67.186.57.171: /* IDW Comics continuity */

:''Hunter is a [[human]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Hunter_ONion.jpg|right|thumb|250px| Yeah, and the first part is "Hoon-Tear." Alright.]]
If you crossed ''Scooby-Doo's'' Shaggy with ''The X-Files''' Fox Mulder, '''Hunter O'Nion''' is who you'd get. With scruffy ginger hair, a green "Alien Death Ray" T-shirt and a VW Kombi van, you'd be forgiven for writing him off as some hippie slacker, but Hunter O'Nion (that's Oh-Nigh-On, not ''un-yun;'' he's a little sensitive about his last name) is really a modern-day questing knight. He runs the [[Mechatopia.com]] website, a repository for information about the presence of gigantic extraterrestrial mechanoids on Earth, and is willing to personally scour the back-roads of continental North America for further evidence.

If there's one problem with Hunter, it's that he's not the most sensitive of people; also, in his drive to uncover the truth, he can get very blunt and direct when someone who may know more than they let on gets evasive - even if that someone has good reason to dissemble.

A chance encounter with [[Verity Carlo]] in Arizona, though, gives him more than he could have wished for: Not only does he achieve personal contact with an actual alien robot in disguise, he's dropped right into the middle of a covert war. The question is, now that Hunter's found his proof, what will he do with it?

==Fiction==

===IDW Comics continuity===
{{ongoing}}
After picking up Verity Carlo in the North American desert, he was surprisingly thrust into the war between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s. After being rescued from a Decepticon assault by [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], he offered assistance to the Autobots in an..."unofficial" capacity, spying on an abandoned Decepticon base before it was destroyed by [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], under orders from [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Infiltration}}

After this mission, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] ordered that Hunter and the other humans be sent home. However, as the Autobots escorted them away from the Autobot base, a [[Machination]] assult team attacked. It appears that Hunter and [[Sunstreaker]] were killed by the Machination, but upon examination of Sunstreaker's husk, Rachet discovered that it was a fake.

Meanwhile, Hunter was being operated on by the Machination, his body becoming the host for mysterious implants. [[Dante]] presented Hunter to a pleased, mysterious, and damaged Transformer who ordered mass-production to begin. Dante, gesturing to a wall of headless Sunstreaker bodies, implied that Hunter may still play a role in the Machination's "new world order." {{storylink|Escalation}}

The Machination subjected Hunter to an extensive regimen of brainwashing, after which Dante was informed that the boy was a blank slate, an organic machine that they could do with as they wished. Quality control for this process was apparently lacking, as Hunter was able to retain his own thoughts through a mantra of useless science fiction trivia. Skulking unseen through the Machination facility, Hunter was surprised to discover the severed but still functioning head of Sunstreaker, begging him for death! {{storylink|Devastation}} Hunter then submitted himself to the process of becoming a Headmaster, which Sunstreaker warned would hurt. A lot. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4}}

'''Joe Colton''' uses his uncanny resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Chuck Norris|Chuck Norris]] to benefit mankind as the guy for whom the G.I. Joe team is named.

He was partners with Mike Power, who had a robotic arm and leg, which is more robotics than your average human has, but still much less than a Transformer.

Colton eventually teamed up with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], which was pretty cool. Chuck Norris never teamed up with Optimus Prime.

Starscream (Animated)

:''Starscream is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Starscreamanimated.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Specialist skills: backstabbing, aggressive negotiating, chin-stroking.]]

'''Starscream''' is easily as accomplished, powerful and deserving of leadership as Megatron. At least, that's what he thinks. Power-hungry and driven by jealousy, Starscream operates through three ideals: lying, manipulation and deception. And when all else fails, a bit of sabotage never goes astray. [[Megatron (Animated)|Wise bots]] are careful about turning their backs on Starscream, just in case it's the day he finally decides to shove in the knife.

He also has the most traitorous chin in the universe, other than Evil Ash. And doesn't believe in luck.

{{Quote|''Yes!'' Right then. Solemn face, solemn face.|Starscream about to tell the other Decepticons that he is the new leader|"[[Transform and Roll Out!]]"}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[Tom Kenny]] (US), ? (Japan)
{{spoiler|Transform and Roll Out!}}
Like [[Starscream (disambiguation)|others of his kind]], Starscream seeks to betray [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] and take over leadership of the Decepticons. This time, however, he's not afraid to plant bombs on his mighty leader. In the aftermath of the explosion, Starscream got so caught up in his own greatness that he didn't notice that his comrades abandoned him on a [[Nemesis (Animated)|ship]] hurtling towards an exploding space bridge.

Over the next fifty solar cycles, Starscream searched for the All Spark on his own, using the damaged ship as a base (and probably getting a few screws loose in his [[central processor]]). He later discovered that the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]] was on Earth and adopted a jet fighter as an alternate mode to search for it. When he revealed himself to the Autobots, he quickly thrashed each of them individually. Starscream mocked them, apparently assuming that the Autobots thought ''they'' had really defeated Megatron (whom he referred to as "the great Megatron" without sarcasm, so he seems to have at least a loathing respect for his leader's power). All too boastful of his cunning, Starscream boldly admitted that Megatron was already defeated by the bomb which Starscream himself had put on him. Despite being more powerful than the Autobots, Starscream failed to take the All Spark, partially because he [[Megatron (BW)|spent too much time gloating]]. [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] grabbed Starscream in midair, and they opened the All Spark, releasing a massive wave of energy. Optimus was killed by the energy surge (he got better), but Starscream's fate was unspecified. But he'll be back... {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

{{disambig3|Prowl}}
:''Prowl is an Autobot in the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image: AniProwlPromoModel.jpg|thumb|250px|right|True warriors must move like water. '''NINJA''' water.]]
Some people are team players, and some...well, aren't. '''Prowl''' falls into the latter category. A loner at heart, he has little interest in teamwork, something [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] finds extremely frustrating.

Prowl is an adept and agile one-on-one fighter who strikes swiftly and unseen with throwing stars and swords, and he feels cooperation with the [[Bumblebee (Animated)|loud]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|unsubtle]] Autobots around him would cramp his style. He uses an array of throwing weapons, such as cutting discs, that he can throw with high accuracy. These disks usually end up just ''bouncing'' off their targets instead of doing any real damage. He's the only [[Sideswipe (G1)|Autobot with a jetpack]], granting him limited flight. Despite Prowl's battle prowess, this unwillingness to work with his teammates causes problems.

Still, he's not without his redeeming features. He has a deep, deep fascination with organic lifeforms. His quarters on [[Earth]] is missing most of its ceiling, allowing him a permanent window into nature. In fact, he seems to have a deeper appreciation of his new surroundings than the [[human]]s who grew up with them. The phrase "stop and smell the roses" is a life truth for Prowl, and he can spend hours motionless, [[Beachcomber (G1)|watching the world play out around him]].

==Fiction==
===''Transformers: Animated'' cartoon===
{{ongoing}}
:''Voice actor: [[Jeff Bennett]] (US), ? (Japan)''
Prowl showed a lack of interest in both teamwork (as a loner type) and in the motivational (kinda long-winded) speeches of Optimus Prime.

Later, Prowl was watching a cat stalk a bird. He found it fascinating, but was aggravated when he was interrupted by human fans. Returning to base, he hid out in his Japanese-themed room, only to be interrupted by Prime and Bumblebee. Even worse, Sari threw a slumber party, pushing Prowl to the edge by the commotion. Ironically, when Megatron took over the factory, Prowl was able to show Bumblebee the value of stillness in battle, something the pair would work on later in a game of Twister. {{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}}

{{spoiler|Blast from the Past}}
In an attempt to get Bulkhead to be less bumbling and destructive, he tried to teach his comrade how to move with ninja-like grace as he did. It... did not go well. Bulkhead's effectiveness in battle was undermined until Prowl realised Bulkhead's approach had its place and encouraged him to "do what you do". He also sensed sparks within the [[Dinobots (Animated)|Dinobots]] and, unwilling to let them be destroyed, secretly hid them on a small island before they were melted down. As he explained to Bulkhead, "Just because something's big and lumbering and destructive, doesn't mean you give up on it." {{storylink|Blast from the Past}}

[[Image: AniProwlPromoModel.jpg|thumb|250px|right|True warriors must move like water. '''NINJA''' water.]]
Some people are team players, and some...well, aren't. '''Prowl''' falls into the latter category. A loner at heart, he has little interest in teamwork, something [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] finds extremely frustrating. Prowl is an adept and agile one-on-one fighter who strikes swiftly and unseen with throwing stars and swords, and he feels cooperation with the [[Bumblebee (Animated)|loud]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|unsubtle]] Autobots around him would cramp his style. Despite Prowl's battle prowess, this unwillingness to work with his teammates causes problems.

Still, he's not without his redeeming features. He has a deep, deep fascination with organic lifeforms. His quarters on [[Earth]] is missing most of its ceiling, allowing him a permanent window into nature. In fact, he seems to have a deeper appreciation of his new surroundings than the [[human]]s who grew up with them. The phrase "stop and smell the roses" is a life truth for Prowl, and he can spend hours motionless, [[Beachcomber (G1)|watching the world play out around him]].

==Abilities and powers==

Prowl's primary strengths are his agility, stealth, and speed. He uses an array of throwing weapons, such as cutting discs, that he can throw with high accuracy. These Disks, unfortunately, usually end up just ''bouncing'' off their targets instead of doing any real damage. In his room, a collection of samurai swords can be seen in the background. He is able to use any object as a weapon. He's also the only [[Sideswipe (G1)|Autobot with a jetpack]], granting him limited flight.

Prowl is also the only [[Sideswipe (G1)|Autobot with a jetpack]], though he has yet to threaten Starscream with having his nosecone shoved into his afterburners.
