Special Agent '''William "Bill" Fowler''' is the type of guy that [[Theodore Galloway]] ''wishes'' he could be. He's the tough-talking, robot-dissing designated liaison between the [[United States of America|United States government]] and the [[Autobot]]s, who's got the guts to face down [[Starscream (Prime)|the Decepticons]] himself. And he doesn't need any military escort! He can pilot his own damn helicopter!

Fowler is leery about trusting the Autobots to handle the [[Decepticon]]s by themselves and doesn't believe that [[Earth]] can't handle its own mess, but for now, while he chews them out and slags them off, he's willing to let them have a chance.

Agent Fowler visited [[Autobot Central Command]] to chew the Autobots off over mass traffic accidents caused by [[Eradicon|several]] [[Arcee (Prime)|odd]] [[Bumblebee (Prime)|vehicles]], and then demanded to know if this meant the Decepticons were back. When [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] confirmed this, Fowler stated it was time to "wake up" the [[Pentagon]]; he was notably ''un''impressed by Optimus's claim that only the Autobots could stop the Decepticons, clearly not believing it, but to avoid mass human casualties he agreed to give them a shot at sorting it out.

[[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] angrily told Fowler that the Autobots knew how to use appropriate force, but when the agent was gone he noted with respect that Fowler had ''bearings''. Prime noted that Fowler's attitude was due to being afraid for his planet. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}

Another explosion had Fowler returning to the Autobot base, but he found only Bulkhead there. When [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]]'s guitar gave away the presence of her and her two classmates, he announced he was going to take them into federal custody, but Bulkhead prevented him from phoning his superiors. He stormed out and took off in his helicopter, making a report by radio. Unfortunately, the transmission was intercepted by the Decepticons, who captured him and strung him up by chains. Fowler proved difficult to interrogate, so [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] got out an energon prod to soften him up. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}

{{spoiler|Darkness Rising, Part 4|December 9, 2010}}
Fowler was on the verge of breaking and telling Starscream where the Autobot base was, when weapons fire became audible outside the brig. Sensing rescue was near, he became awkward again, provoking Starscream into shocking him into unconsciousness. When he awoke, he was in a dazed, rambling state. The Autobots finally reached his location, only to become locked in a standoff with Starscream, until a random outburst from Fowler caused a distraction, and the Autobots chased Starscream off. Fowler rode back to base in Bulkhead, though his dazed state persisted and he became fixated on pie. Once they reached the base, he was given rudimentary medical attention. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}

{{spoiler|Darkness Rising, Part 5|December 10, 2010}}
When the Autobots discovered that the Decepticons were using a radio telescope array in [[Texas]], Optimus suggested getting Fowler to put the installation on high alert, but Fowler was still too out of it to comply. He had recovered enough to cheer the Autobots on as they destroyed Megatron's [[space bridge]], and later thanked them for saving him from the Decepticons, and for saving the world, before he left the base. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}

==Notes==

* Which agency Fowler's a Special Agent ''for'' isn't stated; since he specifically refers to the Pentagon as who he'd talk to, he's presumably with a Department of Defense agency like the [[wikipedia:Defense Intelligence Agency|Defense Intelligence Agency]] or the [[wikipedia:Military Intelligence Corps (United States Army)|Military Intelligence Corps]].
* The Autobots refer to him as their liaison with "the outside world", though he appears to just represent the United States.
* Fowler must have one ''awesome'' rank if he can decide on his own whether or not the Pentagon is to go on full alert!
* Apparently, Fowler's grandmother made pretty good cookies.

One of the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]], '''Skywarp''' isn't exactly the brightest Decepticon around and constantly requires supervision. He's rather immature, stubborn, cowardly, and prone to insults (giving less-than-witty ones and receiving ones he doesn't even notice, sometimes ''from himself'')...but at least he's got cloaking abilities. Maybe that's why he's kept around.

When [[Decepticon]]s bombed [[Altihex]] Casino, [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] told [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] that Skywarp and [[Thundercracker (Prime)|Thundercracker]] were his trusted lieutenants and that they would take him to safety. They actually took him to [[Kaon]] Prison. ''{{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}''
{{note|He's not mentioned afterwards, but he must have been in every scene where the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s are present.}}

==Games==
===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Richard Epcar]] (English)

[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] sent [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (Prime)|Thundercracker]], and Skywarp to activate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] [[Energon Bridge]], allowing Megatron to create more of his [[Dark Energon]]. The Seekers went through Cybertron's underground, which Thundercracker commented he'd never done before, prompting mockery from Thundercracker. They hijacked an Autobot ship, and when Skywarp took offense to Starscream's comment that the Autobots were "dumber than him!", he tried to make a comeback, but ended up only looking ''more'' foolish. When they flew through reservoirs of raw liquid energon, he played down Thundercracker's warning that the stuff was extremely volatile in that state. At another point, he took issue with Starscream's constant belittling, even though he wasn't sure it was him being belittled. (It was.) Despite Skywarp's constant bickering with his partners (in one instance, unintentionally calling himself ugly), they made it deep into Cybertron's underground, where they found the energon bridge's main controls. There, they they attempted to reactivate it while simultaneously corrupting it with Dark Energon, only for its guardian machine to activate in response, attempting to cleanse the corruption. A tense battle against the relentless machine ensued, with the three of them dodging fireballs, evading energy beams, and taking potshots at the core when it overheated and needed to open up to cool off. Finally, the sentinel was destroyed, the corruption allowed to proceed apace, and the bridge activated. Skywarp was, for once, quicker on the uptake than Thundercracker, commenting on the sight only for Thundercracker to all but parrot his words a moment later. It might have been the crowning achievement of his life.

Later, the Seekers helped distract [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] in order to protect Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}
