First Sergeant '''Donnelly''' is a member of [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] [[United States Military|US Army Ranger]] unit, a smart-mouthed Bostonian stationed at [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]]. Though as the highest-ranked enlisted man in the unit (the 'top kick', no not [[Ironhide (Movie) |that one]]) he should really display more leadership skills, [[Rattrap|he's the guy that thinks we're all gonna die.]]

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
:''Actor:'' [[Zack Ward]]

Coming back from a hard mission behind enemy lines, Lennox's men discussed what they were going to do once they got home. Donnelly asked his buddies if they remembered weekends, how enjoyable a flat beer and a cold hot dog while watching the Red Sox at Fenway was, to which they agreed, suggesting that they all wanted to go home to enjoy their weekends and not a reflection on the quality of food served at the base mess.

[[Image:Movie_DonnellyfiresatScorponok.jpg|left|thumb|Why am I the only one shooting?!]]

After SOCCENT was destroyed by [[Blackout (Movie)|a mysterious MH-53 Pave Low that turned into a giant robot]], Donnelly expressed disbelief when [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] theorized that the reason their small-arms fire bounced off the enemy was due to some kind of invisible force field. Donnelly scoffed, saying that sort of imaginary technology only existed in fiction such as comic books. A spooked [[Jorge Figueroa|Figueroa]] commented that his mother had a gift of premonition, and it was passed on to him, to which Donnelly remarked that Fig should use his magic voodoo powers to get them the hell back home.

[[Image:Movie_Donnelly_IDWdeath.jpg|right|thumb|He's a wicked little critta.]]

Later that day, as they neared local boy [[Mahfouz]]'s village, a [[Scorponok (Movie)|tremor]] in the sand caused a billboard tower to come down and crash directly behind Donnelly. The oblivious sergeant asked to no one in particular what that was, prompting Fig to exclaim (in Spanish) that the tower fell over and almost killed him. Suddenly, Epps fired wildly into the sand as a large spiked metal tail sneaked up behind Lennox. Donnelly joined in as the tail revealed itself to be a huge metal scorpion that dove into the sand and out of sight. Still again, Donnelly searched the ground for signs of the creature when it silently slid out of the sand from behind and impaled him on his tail, dragging him under the sand, never to be seen again. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

They are packaged in a special window box featuring a diorama depicting the battle at Mahfouz's village. Sadly, Donnelly's figure is not in a pose very conducive to being impaled.

:''Agent Simmons is a [[human]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[continuity family]].

[[Image:Simmonsthatwouldbecrazy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Pause for effect...pause for effect...pause for effect...]]

Agent '''Reginald "Reggie" Simmons''' is the head officer of [[Sector Seven]]'s Field Agents. He is part of a long line of Simmonses who were head officers in Sector Seven. His great grandfather pulled [[N.B.E.-1]], the first-discovered [[Transformer]], out of the ice, and his grandfather and [[Walter Simmons|father]] prepared Sector Seven against the day that more N.B.E.s would arrive on [[Earth]]. He might come off as [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|a jerk]], but he takes this work very personally. After all, it's in his blood.

He's a just a smidge off his nut—eccentric, weird, crazy, whatever you want to call it. He's strange, and he wears Hawaii underwear, Sector Seven undershirts, and clip on ties.

{{quote|Yes, well...he's very strange.|[[John Keller]] on Simmons|[[Transformers (2007)]]}}

==Fiction==
===Sector Seven ARG===
Reggie Simmons and [[John Ho]] attended the original [[Star Wars]] premiere at Mann's Chinese Cinema.

===''Prime Directives'' prequel comics===
In 2003, Simmons led a team of Sector 7 agents in an attempt to capture [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], then known as NBE-2. The attempt involved luring him into a trap using an artificial isotope derived from the sub-atomic matter of the [[All Spark|cube]], which put out an almost identical energy signature to that of the cube. After the team spent two days waiting in the New Mexico desert, Bumblebee appeared, followed by the Decepticons [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Thanks to the Decepticons, who destroyed several Apache helicopters and tried to hack into Sector 7's network, Simmons's plan to capture Bumblebee failed horribly.

===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[John Turturro]] (English) [[Yūichi Nagashima]] (Japanese-language dub voice)

[[Image:Movie_Simmons_meetmyfriend.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Sadly, Sector Seven's insurance does not cover "[[Autobot|giant robot]]s", because giant robots don't exist.]]

Agent Simmons went to the Witwicky residence when Sector Seven suspected that [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] had contact with an [[Transformer|N.B.E.]] they were tracking. Taking Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] into custody, he got too into the bad cop role, threatening Sam with life imprisonment, threatening Mikaela's father's parole, and revealing Mikaela's own criminal record. This strategy nearly succeeded...until a seriously pissed off [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] decided to pay Sam and Mikaela's bail—by jumping right in front of their SUV, lifting it off the ground, and tearing the roof off. Although Simmons tried to call for calm, the [[Autobot]]s easily disarmed the agents. To Simmons' credit, he himself remained calm, while the guy on the left looked like he was going to wet himself.

[[Image:Bumblebee Simmons.JPG|thumb|250px|right|That's karma for you. Harass some teens, get lubricated by a giant robot. Happens all the time.]]
Prime attempted to interrogate Simmons, who revealed that the only communication he was authorized to have with the NBEs was to tell them he wasn't authorized to communicate with them. He also refused to answer any questions from Sam and Mikaela about Sector Seven or how they knew of the Autobots. Annoyed by his attitude, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] released [[lubricant]] on him. As the Autobots left, Mikaela had Simmons strip as punishment for threatening her father. However, Bumblebee, Sam, and Mikaela were later recaptured.

After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]] (and presumably the ''longest'' shower of his life), Agent Simmons, in a new, clean, and higher-in-authority uniform, and trying the awkward role of good cop, told Sam and Mikaela that they may have gotten off on the wrong foot. Taking them to see the [[Megatron (Movie)|Mega Man]], Simmons was told of Megatron's plans by Sam. However, [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] had infiltrated the dam and sent a message to the [[Decepticon]]s, causing [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to attack. Sam urged Simmons to release Bumblebee, saying he would help, but Simmons stubbornly refused. [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] decided to apply some armed persuasion, which Simmons still refused to heed, leading to a standoff between the rangers and Sector Seven agents. The rangers won. After Bumblebee reformatted the Cube, Simmons, [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]], [[Maggie Madsen]], and [[Glen Whitmann]] went to the dam's archives, where they managed to send out an S.O.S. via an old radio in there, while Keller and Simmons provided cover fire from an attacking Frenzy.

Agent Simmons' status after Sector Seven was shut down is unknown. Chances are that he is now out of a job.

Maggie Madsen

2008-04-14T02:12:19Z

70.249.217.204: /* Trivia */

:''Maggie Madsen is a [[human]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MaggieMadsen_1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Maggie has a ''really'' clear [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage toy]].]]

'''Maggie Madsen''' isn't very good at handling people. Her superiors think it's downright unfair that someone that young and that ''hot'' also be ''that good''. She hasn't yet figured out how to be ''tactful'' when she tells people who outrank her that they're completely wrong.

Maggie is a former analyst for the [[Wikipedia:National Security Agency|NSA]] who was fired for twice rewriting her supervisor's conclusions in reports. [[John Keller]] is aware of this, not because he knows everything, but because it's ''hilarious''—she was ''right'' both times. That kind of brilliance buys her a little slack in his book...but only a little.

Maggie now works for the [[Wikipedia:RAND|Rand Corporation]] with [[Glen Whitmann]]. She has a strong Australian accent.

She is quite possibly the only computer nerd in the world that goes to work in a miniskirt and high heels and is able to pull it off.

{{note|Most of Maggie's "too brash for her own good" sub-plot was cut from the movie... because it's not very interesting. Her backstory comes from ''[[Transformers: The Junior Novel]]''. In ''[[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]]'' the character is named "Maggie Marconi," probably an early development name.}}

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor'': [[Rachael Taylor]] (English) [[Marika Hayashi]] (Japanese-language dub voice)

Maggie and her fellow analysts were present at an emergency briefing held at the Pentagon when Secretary of Defence [[John Keller|Keller]] revealed that [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] had been attacked by a [[Blackout (Movie)|mysterious and unidentified force]], leaving no survivors. Pressing the point home to the young computer experts, Keller said that their [[Decepticon|enemy]] had attempted to hack into the base's mainframe but failed, leading the government to the conclusion that they would try again. Catching's Maggie's attention was the only clue left at the base, a mysterious frequency encountered during the hack, one unlike any seen before.

While analyzing the frequency for its origin, Maggie and her team discovered a [[Frenzy (Movie)|hostile agent]] hacking into the mainframe of [[Air Force One]], accessing almost the entire US Military defense grid. With no way to stop the enemy, Maggie suggested disconnecting all their servers, which proved to be successful. Later, Maggie snuck into a confidential briefing between Keller and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. When one high-ranking officer commented that the attack might have come from North Korea or Russia, she interrupted, explaining that the capabilities of this enemy were far in advance of anything they'd ever seen. She theorized the possibility of a living organism being the culprit, but Keller was unwilling to listen unless she provided evidence to back up her claims.

[[Image:Maggie-and-Glen.jpg|thumb|left|250px|This is giving me such a crick in the neck right now.]]

Frustrated at being stonewalled by the government and the military, Maggie copied the contents of the frequency data onto an SD memory card and left the Pentagon. Arriving at her friend Glen's house, she explained to him the dire consequences she would face if she was discovered with this information, and that he was the only hacker with the skills to access the secrets embedded within. His curiosity piqued, Glen proceeded to hack into the data, discovering images and files about something called [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Iceman]] and an organization named [[Sector Seven]]. Within the signal itself, she and Glen discovered [[Cybertronian languages|strange symbols]]. Before they could view any more information, an FBI assault team crashed through the front door and arrested everybody in his house.

Detained in a holding room at the Pentagon, Maggie observed Glen eat an entire plate of donuts while he pontificated his theory that the food was a test in character and guilt: If one did not eat the donuts, one was guilty, and he, for one, had a totally clear conscience. When Federal agents entered the room, Glen immediately cracked and accused Maggie of all the wrongdoing while casting himself in a sympathetic (if somewhat pathetic) light. Maggie told him to shut up as she explained she needed to speak to Keller and that they need to go about this crisis in a different direction before the United States went to war with the wrong country.

Much later, as Glen was recovering from his donut binge with a bottle of ''Pepto Bismol'', Keller suddenly entered the holding room, telling Maggie to come with him as an advisor. He allowed Maggie to bring Glen along as her advisor. Soon, on a Army Blackhawk helicopter bound for [[Hoover Dam]], she and Glen found themselves with two teenagers, [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]] and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]]. Attempting to break the ice, Sam initiated conversation, prompting Maggie to ask him why the government got them. To Glen's astonishment, he replied that he had bought [[Bumblebee (Movie)|a car]] that turned out to be an alien robot.

Landing, the group joined up with Keller, Captain [[William Lennox]], Sergeant [[Robert Epps]] and their men, escorted by Sector Seven director [[Reggie Simmons]] and [[Tom Banachek]]. The two spooks explained that they were all here because they'd been exposed to the [[N.B.E.]]s, a.k.a. the alien robots. Brought to a large, top-secret chamber, the group saw [[Non-Biological Extraterrestrial|N.B.E.-1]], whom Sam identified as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], leader of the [[Decepticons]]. When he explained that Megatron was after the [[All Spark]] cube to transform all of Earth's technology into an army, Simmons brought the group to a viewing room looking over an even larger chamber encasing the massive All Spark.

To demonstrate the All Spark's power, the group was then herded into a containment room where experiments using the radiation of the All Spark were conducted. Asking for phones and electronic devices, Simmons took Glen's proffered ''Nokia'' cell phone, commenting that they were nasty stuff, yet the Japanese know the way of the samurai. Maggie incredulously (but quietly) noted that ''Nokia'' is from Finland, to which Keller responded (also quietly) that while that was true, if she hadn't noticed, Simmons was a rather strange man. Exposed to the All Spark's power, Glen's cell phone was transformed into a small, spider-like mechanical beast with a tiny machine gun and rocket launcher, which jumped at Maggie as she looked on in astonishment. Griping that the beast was breaking its containment case, Simmons sent an enormous electrical shock into the creature, killing it. Soon after, Hoover Dam came under attack by the Decepticons, intent on freeing Megatron.

Needing to get word out to the US Air Force while traditional communications were down, Keller, Simmons, Glen and Maggie rushed to an archive storage room where there was an old radio. However, they soon discovered that while the radio worked, it had no microphone. Maggie suggested to Glen that they hotwire a computer into the radio to send out a tone that they could use as Morse code to contact the military. As Glen did so, [[Frenzy (Movie)|a Decepticon]] attacked, forcing Maggie to help barricade the door and load shells into antique shotguns for Keller. Simmons passed her a shotgun as he blasted the Decepticon with a flamethrower. The small enemy sneaked in via the air ducts and attacked the group with machine guns as Maggie, Keller and Simmons fought back. Eventually, Glen successfully managed to contact the Air Force just as an errant CD-razor projectile fired by the Decepticon destroyed its own head, (presumably) killing it. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}
