==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
:''Actor:'' [[Matthew Marsden]]

Graham, the most senior British soldier taking part in NEST's [[Shanghai]] operation, rode in field commander [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]'s helicopter on the way to the site where the [[Decepticon]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been detected. He listened as Lennox emphasized to the team the need to maintain secrecy and keep the Decepticons out of the public eye. Once on the ground, Graham and [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] lead the NEST troopers in on Demolishor's signal with their scanners, only to have the Decepticon emerge from his vehicle mode disguise and attack, injuring many soldiers. As Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] fled, forcing NEST to give chase, but eventually [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobot]]s destroyed the Decepticons.

Though the operation had been a victory, it had been costly for the humans. Upon returning to NEST's base at [[Diego Garcia]], Lennox, Epps and Graham took part in honouring the bodies of their fallen comrades{{fact|this needs to be rewritten with the correct military term}}, before returning to the command hub to give their report to [[Morshower|General Morshower]], overall commander of NEST. Unfortunately, NSA director and government pitbull [[Theodore Galloway]] interrupted, airing his and [[Barack Obama|President Obama's]] skepticism that NEST is achieving its goals of protecting [[Earth]] in light of the damage that has resulted form their operations.

Things soon came to a head when the Decepticon leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was reactivated and the Decepticons came to Earth, seeking [[Sam Witwicky]]. Though NEST rolled out to assist the Autobots, they arrived too late to prevent the death of Optimus Prime, a major blow to NEST's morale. With Prime's death, Megatron's master [[The Fallen]] launched his attack on Earth, causing thousands of deaths among military personnel and civilians alike. As NEST and the Autobots were grappling with these events and the death of Optimus, the odious Galloway turned up with soldiers to strip Lennox of his command and cease NEST's anti-Decepticon operations. Evidently, the President was willing to seek out a diplomatic solution (including handing over Sam Witwicky) to end the Decepticon attacks on Earth. Graham pointed out that giving concessions to the Decepticons would give their enemies an excuse to demand more from humanity, something Galloway briefly considered before dismissing, ordering NEST back to Diego Garcia.

After former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox and asked him to the body of Optimus Prime to [[Egypt]] (where the Autobot leader could be revived), Graham feigned ignorance when Galloway became suspicious of what Lennox and Epps were discussing with their [[United States Air Force#C-17 Globemaster III|C-17]] transport pilots. Evidently he was successful, as Galloway believed Lennox when the NEST pilot faked engine trouble to force the NSA director to parachute from the plane.

==Notes==
*This character is credited as "SASF Agent Graham" on the [http://www.transformersmovie.com/ official movie website].
*There's no such UK military unit as the SASF in the real-life continuity family. It is likely they meant ''SAS'' (given the colour of and insignia on his beret), except the SAS is a regiment of the British Army and, as such, doesn't have "agents" at all; rather their soldiers are known as "troopers". Therefore, he should be known as Trooper Graham, especially given the fact he does not sport any rank insignia on his uniform at any point (despite the glaring error of wearing his beret whilst on ops - a BIG no-no! Opsec anyone?).
Perhaps he's an agent for the [http://www.gwd.biz/studentfencing.com/sasf.htm Scottish Association for Student Fencing].
*Graham was identified as part of the British military in numerous pre-release press reports on ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.
