Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''NEST''' (Either '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers'''<ref>''[[The Veiled Threat]].''</ref>, '''Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty'''<ref>''[[The Last Prime]].''</ref> or '''Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Team'''<ref>''[http://www.lgnest.com/ LG promotional tie-in website].''</ref>) was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. Though originally an [[United States of America|American]]-Autobot military alliance, it soon expanded to include armed forces from the [[United Kingdom]] and other nations.

Approximately one month after the events in [[Mission City]], Sector Seven inadvertently reactivated the [[Decepticon]] [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] and simultaneously attracted the attention of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and the subsequent battle leveled Sector Seven's [[Nevada]] bunker, costing dozens of lives. [[John Keller|Secretary of Defense Keller]] immediately terminated the clandestine group's operations upon learning of the incident.

In the aftermath, Captain Lennox tried to convince his dubious and hostile superiors at the [[Pentagon]] that the Autobots were indeed trustworthy and would be a valuable asset. His superiors impressed upon him that in order for the military to provide full disclosure, the Autobots must cooperate fully, and that the unit was Lennox's responsibility now. After the burial-at-sea of [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Lennox agreed that for the protection of their mutual homeworld, they must trust each other and work together as a single team. Sometime later, the newly formed NEST command commenced training at the military base on [[Diego Garcia]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

NEST had a baptism of fire against the [[Decepticon]] scouts [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Dead End (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]. Following that, it expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]. Every Decepticon encountered was destroyed, but NEST's victories were paid with the ultimate sacrifice, such as the loss of [[Salani]]. With [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] and several other Autobots arrived to Earth. This joy was short-lived, however: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

==Trivia==
* NEST troopers appeared on Cover B of the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' prequel comic "[[Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2]]" , but were nowhere to be seen in the story inside. This is because most of the covers illustrated by ''Revenge'' concept artist [[Josh Nizzi]] were meant to allude to scenes or situations in the actual ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie itself.

* Diego Garcia appears to be a central base for NEST, at least for training alongside the Autobots. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depopulation_of_Diego_Garcia The native population of Diego Garcia were ''expelled''] from the island to make way for the joint [[United Kingdom]]/United States military bases. The Autobots are led by Optimus Prime, who believes freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Err...

* There is a real US Government agency known as NEST. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Emergency_Support_Team The Nuclear Emergency Support Team]. Of course, it could just be a cover for joint operations with alien robots...
