[[Image:Gwb potus.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Being leader of the free world means you can wear red socks without remorse.]]

'''George W. Bush''', also known as "'''Dubya'''", is the [[President of the United States]]. He wears red socks, has a penchant for [[Ding Dong]]s, and speaks with a cheesy southwestern accent and stereotypical dialect.

He may have been abducted by aliens during the 1970s, his memory is a little fuzzy about that decade.

[[Image:Tf2007-dubya_abductedbyaliens.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Roswell]], [[Nikola Tesla]] and George W. Bush. How are these things connected?]]
[[Sector Seven|Sector 7]]'s classified records include papers about 1<small><sup>st</sup></small> Lieutenant George W. Bush's [[Wikipedia:George W. Bush military service controversy|1972 flight-status suspension]], citing unexcused absences. Presumably this mysterious absence and subsequent refusal to complete a medical exam is because he was abducted by aliens.

Later then-President Bush visited the [[AllSpark]] facility in [[Hoover Dam]]. This visit was later recounted by [[Seymour Simmons]].

In 2007, the President flew in [[Air Force One]]. During the trip, he ordered [[Tracy]] to bring him some Ding Dongs. He was unaware of the infiltrating [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who hacked into the mainframe on the airplane. The intruder was detected and Air Force One was forced to make an emergency landing.

The United States military began approaching potential conflict with [[Russia]] and [[China]] when [[Sector Seven]] realized it was the [[Transformer]]s. The President ordered [[Tom Banachek]] to the [[Pentagon]] to inform Secretary of Defense [[John Keller (Movie)|John Keller]] about the Transformers' existence.

He ordered Sector Seven to be terminated and the remains of the dead [[Decepticon]]s disposed of into the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

His Vice-President was [[Theodore Allen]].

* George W. Bush, was only named in the IMAX cut of ''Transformers''; [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] lists the nicknames of all the presidents to have seen the secret [[AllSpark]] facility, and the last one he mentions is "Dubya".

The '''United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland''' (also '''Region 2''') is a strange, possibly allegorical, land where pants are called trousers, underwear are called pants, women run the government, Batman kidnaps children, state-sponsored media is popular instead of elitist, vinegar is a condiment, and they have good rock and roll.

Also, they spell things funny and their [[Wikipedia:PAL|bizarro-DVD]]s won't play in real DVD players. ''Spooky''.

[[Image:Man of iron and knights.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Oh bollocks, an immigrant! Kick him out! ''British Jobs for British Workers!''... Or we can Bomb his home land like the USA would."]]
Some time in the past, the [[Man of Iron (Autobot)|Man of Iron]] and his [[Navigator]] came to [[Earth]] while searching for the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and left their ship beneath the area that would one day become [[Stansham]]. There they remained, though the Man of Iron would occasionally leave the ship to visit the surface - in 1017 he encountered [[human]]s, including [[Godwin the Strongarm]] and [[Aethelric]], and a further two sightings were recorded.

In 1984 a beacon from the ship attracted the attention of the earthbound [[Autobot]]s and they took a [[Ark shuttlecraft|shuttle]] to the United Kingdom to investigate. Upon arrival, [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] kidnapped a human named [[Sammy Harker]] to provide the Autobots with intelligence about the local area, but they were attacked by the [[Decepticon]]s, who had also followed the beacon to its source.

As battle raged above Stansham Castle, the Man of Iron emerged from his ship once more, only to be blown up by [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]]. Jazz destroyed the ship (inadvertently killing the Navigator) and the [[Transformer]]s left the United Kindgom. {{storylink|Man of Iron (story)|Man of Iron}}

''About a year later they would return, seeking the source of an energy transmission that caused aspects of their personalities to reverse. Tracing the signal to a secret research facility Jazz and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] fought over [[Zeke Heilmann]], a human who was stealing the core of [[Purnel's Auto-Reverse Defence|PARD]] for his own nefarious purposes. In the ensuing battle both Zeke and the device were destroyed by Jazz.'' {{storylink|To a Power Unknown!}}

''By 1987, the country was the home of the [[Europe|European]] branch of international anti-terrorism taskforce [[Action Force (team)|Action Force]]; their field leader [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] was an English soldier. They ended up battling alongside [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] and [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]] against a raging [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] ([[Straxus (G1)|or so they thought]]) in [[London]]'s docklands. Centurion and Megatron fell into the [[Thames|River Thames]].'' {{storylink|Ancient Relics!}}

''[[Richard Branson]] attempted to fish out the remains, only for [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]] to swipe his catch.'' {{storylink|Salvage!}}

In 1990, Shockwave emerged from the sea off the coast of [[Blackpool]] where he paused only to squash a tramp and his dog before leaving for [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]] to spy on [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. {{storylink|Dark Creation}} He later set up his Decepticon dissident base there. {{storylink|Surrender!}}

In 1994, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] led his forces to attack London with the intention of attracting [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. The damage to the city was severe; even the Houses of Parliament were bombed. Optimus defeated Bludgeon only to face a returned Megatron, who handed his [[Anatomic euphemism|skidplate]] to him. Before he could finish off his old adversary, Megatron was attacked by Bludgeon's troops and Optimus was rescued by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. The arrival of Jazz's group forced Megatron to escape with Starscream and Prime declared victory, though he advocated that the Autobots vacate the area to escape any human retaliation. {{storylink|War Without End (issue)|War Without End}} {{storylink|War Zone}}

Starscream got involved in a spat between local Sirs [[Wigend du Blackthorne]] and [[Aetheling the Red]] before seizing control from the former and attempting to conquer the latter's fiefdom, as well as messing about with history by creating gunpowder in Europe centuries early. Luckily, Spike and the Autobots stopped him.

We also learned England possesses the time-travelling site known as [[Dragon Mound]], that plate armour existed ''far'' earlier than stuffy historians and their "facts" would tell us, and that [[Dragon|dragons existed naturally in England]]. {{storylink|A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court}}

==Notes==
* By strange coincidence, a number of Transformers (including the entire planet of [[Gigantion]]) have accents identical to some of those in the United Kingdom!
* In 2009 Gordon Brown, [[Democracy|the Prime Minister]], made a public appeal for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to come and solve the country's problems, to which the Conservative Party responded Brown had "more in common with the Decepticons".<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/labour/4208838/Browns-hero-is-Transformer-Optimus-Prime.html Daily Telegraph report]</ref> (This probably makes the Liberal Democrats the [[Mini-Con]]s and the BNP [[The Fallen]]...)
* The UK has produced several Transformers comics, including the long running [[Marvel Comics|Marvel UK]] ''Transformers'' title, which reprinted (sometimes with edits) American Marvel comics and created new stories around them. It's never had the same success yet, though it has made comics based on [[Generation 2 (Fleetway comic)|''Generation 2'']], [[Armada (Panini comic)|''Armada'']], [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|the live-action films]], and [[Transformers Animated (Titan)|''Animated'']]. If that wasn't enough transforming robots, it also published a strip based on the ''[[GoBots (franchise)|GoBots]]'' under their ''Robo Machine'' branding!<ref>http://counter-x.net/gobots/comic/robo_machines/</ref>
* The UK also produced "strategically shaved ape" [[Simon Furman]], who's been known to write the odd Transformers-related thing.
* The word "[[Slag (disambiguation)|slag]]" is considered offensive in the UK (you wouldn't want your sister to be described as one). This has caused [[Beast Wars (cartoon)|some]] TV shows to be (very badly) edited to avoid use of the term (although strangely not [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|all]]), and at least one [[Snarl (Animated)|character name]] change on both sides of the Atlantic. Thanks a lot.
* We have DVD boxsets of ''[[Robots in Disguise (cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]]'', ''<strike>[[Super-God_Masterforce (cartoon)|Masterforce]]</strike>'', ''<strike>[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)|Victory]]</strike>'' and [[Enter the New Supreme_Commander, Dai Atlas!|''Zone'']], and you Yanks still don't. Ahhh ha ha ha HA.
* The UK is still waiting for more than two super-cheap DVDs for ''Beast Wars'', though. :(
* At least our DVDs are better than the ones the [[Germany|Jerries]] have, take that Fritz!

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Great Britain oyobi Hokubu Ireland Rengo Ōkoku''' (グレートブリテン及び北部アイルランド連合王国), '''Eikoku''' (英国), '''Igirisu''' (イギリス)<ref>The names "Eikoku" and "Igirisu" technically only refer to England, but are more often used to represent to the UK as a whole.</ref>

President of the United States

[[Image:Ronaldreagan.jpg|right|200px|thumb|No, not a panel from ''Shortpacked!''.]]

The '''President of the [[United States of America|United States]]''' is the head of state of their respective country.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Generation 1 comics===
{{noteukonly}}

The President was alerted by his advisers to the [[Decepticon|hostile robots]] establishing a [[Fortress Sinister|fort]] on American soil. The [[Soviet Union|USSR]] was suspected as being behind it (they weren't). {{storylink|Prisoner of War!}}

''[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] met with the President on the lawn of the White House to ask for peace, sort out an understanding, and perhaps form an alliance. Their handshake was cut short by an attack from the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], who attempted to sabotage the union by claiming to be Autobots. The Autobots forced the Insecticons into retreat but left immediately themselves, deciding that the President wouldn't believe they were framed. To the contrary, the President did give the Autobots the benefit of the doubt—until, that is, they left without an explanation.'' {{storylink|Plague of the Insecticons!}}

{{note|The President of the United States refers to Optimus Prime as a "lorry," which is what they call trucks in the United Kingdom, but not in America. None of the kids who read Marvel UK comics probably noticed, in writer [[Simon Furman]]'s defense. This story, from the 1985 UK Annual, is generally held to not be canon to the main comics, including as it does several contradictions to later (and former) events in the stories (most notably the Insecticons' origins).)}}

[[Image:Georgebushsr.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Shifty General Guy totally steals the scene from George Bush-as-played-by-Dana Carvey.]]

''The same President was unaware of the [[Intelligence and Information Institute]]'s [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]] project. After the robot damaged part of [[Portland]], the Institute became worried that the President would have them all arrested if he found out they were involved.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}}

Years later, the next President was alarmed when a [[Decepticon]] civil war erupted near [[New York City]] and threatened to hurt innocents. He asked [[G.B. Blackrock]] to call his [[Neo-Knights]] into action. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}}

====''Generation 2''====

In the mid-1990s, the current President was a Democrat. [[Doctor Mindbender|Terrorist mad scientists]] aren't fans of Democrats. {{storylink|Goin' South}}

During the Decepticon onslaught on America, the President was not seen. Rumours abounded that he was hiding in a bunker and refusing to come out. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}}

[[Image:Megatron hates lincoln.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Oh, like you're surprised Megatron has Confederacy sympathies.]]

A memorial to deceased President [[Abraham Lincoln]] exists in [[Washington, D.C.]]: a statue of him sitting on a large stone seat. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] once took out the statue so ''he'' could sit there, but the Autobots put it back later. {{storylink|Atlantis, Arise!}}

The President flew to the Pentagon, where he was greeted by "Defense Minister" [[Dawson]]. Dawson briefed him on the [[Decepticon]] assault on [[San Francisco]], and suggested an air strike. But before a military solution could be devised, Dawson was informed that a nuclear launch had been authorized (by General [[Robert Hallo]], unbeknownst to either man). The President tried to abort the launch, to no avail. During this crisis, he displayed a level of concern that could only be adequately portrayed by [[Pat Lee|his]] unique command of [[Dull surprise|facial expressions]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6}}

===IDW Generation 1 comics===
After the Decepticons had established an [[Infiltration protocol|infiltration team]] on Earth, Republican Senator [[Alexander Holt]] unwittingly talked to a [[facsimile construct]] of a politically powerful military general about concerns that stability in the Middle East would cause problems for his Big Oil backers. The false general assured Holt that the military and the government were in the region for the long haul. This would presumably include the current President. Nine months later, shortly after Megatron took command of the infiltration team, the Decepticon leader sent [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] to attack the El-Jira nuclear power plant in the Middle East to inflame global tensions. By this time, Holt had become the favourite for the Republican presidential candidate and was recommending more direct intervention in the region. {{storylink|Escalation issue 2}}

Over a year later, during the full-scale Decepticon attack on the United States, the President requested [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Colonel Witwicky]] take command at New York City. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2}} He then thought it was a good idea to get on [[Air Force One]] while flying robots were attacking; this caused his death after [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] crashed the plane into the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 3}}

Three years after the Decepticons were driven away, the new President made a live address in response to [[North Korea]] using the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] to attack [[South Korea]]. He announced that any nation using or allying themselves with Cybertronians would be considered by the United States to be in possession of weapons of mass destruction. This was a huge setback for [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], who had just organized an alliance between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Skywatch]], and was planning to use them to take care of the Combaticons. {{storylink|International Incident Part 1: "The Land Ironclads"}}

[[Ask Vector Prime|Yes, she is a girl.]]

The President knew about [[Colonel Franklin]]'s investigation of the Transformers, and didn't believe it was a sensible project. {{storylink|Family}}

She was still a "new President" during the summer, and made confusing promises at the United Nations. She was well known for speaking in incomprehensible jargon. Shortly before the landslide at Boulder, Colorado, [[Six-Speed]] was pulled over by the police, he used a hologram of the President to disguise his lack of a driver. Naturally, seeing the leader of the free world at the wheel of a tiny green race car totally freaked the cops out, and the [[Mini-Con]] was able to drive off in the confusion. {{storylink|Collapse}}

After the Transformers were revealed to Earth, the President admitted to Franklin that she was wrong for doubting his project. {{storylink|Family}}

Much later, the President officially named Franklin as Earth's ambassador to Cybertron. {{storylink|Beginning}}

President [[Herbert Hoover]] established [[Sector Seven]] in [[1927]], and had [[Hoover Dam]] built around the [[AllSpark]]. (See Notes)

[[Image:Gwb potus.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Being leader of the free world means you can wear red socks without remorse.]]

{{main|George W. Bush}}
The President in 2007 seemed almost insignificant during most of the Decepticon-caused military chaos, with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller (Movie)|John Keller]] pretty much running the show. Mostly, he wore red socks, had a penchant for Ding Dongs and spoke with a cheesy southwestern accent and stereotypical dialect ("Can you wrangle me up some Ding Dongs, darlin'?"). He also seemed unconcerned with [[Frenzy (Movie)|tiny, crazy robots]] hacking into the computers of [[Air Force One|his ride]]—that is, until he's thrown in a bunker somewhere after the resulting emergency landing.

The United States military began approaching potential conflict with [[Russia]] and [[China]] when Sector Seven realised it was the Transformers. The President ordered [[Tom Banachek]] to the [[Pentagon]] to inform Keller about the Transformers' existence.

He ordered Sector 7 to be terminated and the remains of the dead Decepticons disposed of into the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

[[Image:Allen4.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Okay Mr. President, so that's one pizza with everything except anchovies, one Coke..."]]

Following Decepticon occupation, the President was dead and John Keller was nowhere to be found. The hawkish Vice President, '''[[Theodore Allen|Theodore F. Allen]]''', became the new President following the liberation of America. Allen distrusts both Autobot and Decepticon, viewing them both as hostile alien invaders using Earth as a battleground for their war, so it would probably piss him off considerably to know [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticons]] have planted a mind-controlling [[cerebro-strip]] in his head. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

While he was allowed to act autonomously during Earth's technorganic crisis {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Return To Cybertron, Part: 1}}, Starscream eventually trigged him. One of his last acts was to get the US government to order the Autobots off American soil - and then nuke their ship as they left. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} He was then used to impair America's response to Decepticon takeover. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}}

He is still President in 2009, after his inherited term had run out, implying he'd won the 2008 election. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}

[[Image:Obama_interview.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"No you can not ask to see my brith certificate."]]

[[NEST]] was formed sometime in 2007 or 2008, under the last President. However, the Autobot transmission into space to summon reinforcements was not vetted by the President or any of his staff, only by [[William Lennox|NEST's Major Lennox]].

{{main|Barack Obama}}

Poor old President Obama; while running for office, he was asked about his brith certificate and his policy on alien life and responded with a joke {{storylink|The Real Effing Deal}}... and then found himself a newly elected leader during an Autobot-Decepticon war! He appointed [[Theodore Galloway]] as his National Security Advisor.

Concerns with his brith certificate and the growing casualties caused him to send Galloway to investigate NEST and the Autobots, and when they escalated further he shut down NEST. Following [[Operation: Firestorm]] however, he reactivated NEST {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}} and afterwards took a more Right-Wing role, even authorising airstrikes on US soil. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5}}

In [[1898]], [[Theodore Joseph Wells]] and [[Walter Simmons]] were dispatched to investigate [[Archibald Witwicky]]'s claims by order of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_McKinley President McKinley].

Wells would carry out mysterious missions for the President. This may have included missions for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson President Wilson], almost certainly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Howard_Taft President Taft],and a known [[1900]] mission for McKinley again. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}}

Future President [[Herbert Hoover]] and his wife [[Lou Hoover|Lou]] would be stranded in [[China]] during the Boxer Rebellion, and used a radio to transmit information on Boxer troop movement to American forces; it was here they met Wells of the future Sector Seven. As an expert on mining, Hoover was secretly tasked by Sector Seven to secretly divert the [[Colorado]] River so they could excavate [[AllSpark|"the Cube"]]; Lou, as a metallurgist, was hired as a Sector Seven employee. Both of them encountered [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and helped stop him, and several [[AllSpark Mutation]]s. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}}

During his political career, Hoover made it a key priority to construct a permanent base in Colorado where Sector Seven could keep the Cube. That's why they eventually called it [[Hoover Dam]]! {{storylink|Irreplaceable|Field Notes from John Barber #2}}

*The President never appeared in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original animated series]], but he did have a cameo in ''[[Inhumanoids|The Inhumanoids]]'', one of ''Transformers'' "sister series" produced by Sunbow and arguably set in the same continuity. Appearing only as a voice from offscreen speaking to his aides in ''The Surma Plan'' in 1986, the President of the United States was a soft-spoken man concerned about the future but full of faith in the better nature of humanity. He was portrayed by voice actor [[Neil Ross]], also a [[wikipedia:List_of_United_States_Presidential_names#40_.E2.80.94_Ronald_Wilson_Reagan|great communicator]].

*[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Holomatter|Holomatter avatar]] is modeled after [[wikipedia:Ulysses_S._Grant|Ulysses S. Grant]], the 18th President of United States.<ref>[http://www.protodepot.com/archive/2007_11_01_archive.html Idea: Holomatter Projection]</ref>

*While unnamed, Marvel's presidents are clearly meant to be Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, while IDW's ''Tales of the Fallen'' #5 shows the hand of a President who is clearly meant to be Barack Obama. Dreamwave's Prez doesn't ''appear'' to be meant as George W. Bush, but since this is [[Pat Lee]] drawing it could simply be a ''bad'' drawing of Dubya.

*"[[Irreplaceable]]" is the first ''Transformers'' story to have a real-life President, explicitly named as such, as a main character.

* The 2007 film refers to President Hoover forming Sector Seven in 1927, forgetting that President ''Coolidge'' was in charge at the time. IDW's ''Sector 7'' miniseries jumped through hoops to have Hoover in a position to form S7 ''before'' he became the Prez.

The '''President of the [[United States of America|United States]]''' is the head of state of their respective country.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Generation 1 comics===
{{noteukonly}}

The President was alerted by his advisers to the [[Decepticon|hostile robots]] establishing a [[Fortress Sinister|fort]] on American soil. The [[Soviet Union|USSR]] was suspected as being behind it (they weren't). {{storylink|Prisoner of War!}}

''[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] met with the President on the lawn of the White House to ask for peace, sort out an understanding, and perhaps form an alliance. Their handshake was cut short by an attack from the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], who attempted to sabotage the union by claiming to be Autobots. The Autobots forced the Insecticons into retreat but left immediately themselves, deciding that the President wouldn't believe they were framed. To the contrary, the President did give the Autobots the benefit of the doubt—until, that is, they left without an explanation.'' {{storylink|Plague of the Insecticons!}}

{{note|The President of the United States refers to Optimus Prime as a "lorry," which is what they call trucks in the United Kingdom, but not in America. None of the kids who read Marvel UK comics probably noticed, in writer [[Simon Furman]]'s defense. This story, from the 1985 UK Annual, is generally held to not be canon to the main comics, including as it does several contradictions to later (and former) events in the stories (most notably the Insecticons' origins).)}}

[[Image:Georgebushsr.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Shifty General Guy totally steals the scene from George Bush-as-played-by-Dana Carvey.]]

''The same President was unaware of the [[Intelligence and Information Institute]]'s [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]] project. After the robot damaged part of [[Portland]], the Institute became worried that the President would have them all arrested if he found out they were involved.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}}

Years later, the next President was alarmed when a [[Decepticon]] civil war erupted near [[New York City]] and threatened to hurt innocents. He asked [[G.B. Blackrock]] to call his [[Neo-Knights]] into action. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}}

====''Generation 2''====

In the mid-1990s, the current President was a Democrat. [[Doctor Mindbender|Terrorist mad scientists]] aren't fans of Democrats. {{storylink|Goin' South}}

During the Decepticon onslaught on America, the President was not seen. Rumours abounded that he was hiding in a bunker and refusing to come out. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}}
{{-}}

===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
[[Image:Megatron hates lincoln.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Oh, like you're surprised Megatron has Confederacy sympathies.]]

A memorial to deceased President [[Abraham Lincoln]] exists in [[Washington, D.C.]]: a statue of him sitting on a large stone seat. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] once took out the statue so ''he'' could sit there, but the Autobots put it back later. {{storylink|Atlantis, Arise!}}

===Colorforms Books===
The 40th President of the United States awarded [[Heath Blaisedale|Dr. Heath Blaisedale]] the ''The President's Award for Outstanding Scientific Breakthrough'' for her work on the [[solar reactor]]. {{storylink|Sun Raid}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation 1'' comics===
[[Image:Potus dw.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"New-cular?"]]
The President flew to the Pentagon, where he was greeted by "Defense Minister" [[Dawson]]. Dawson briefed him on the [[Decepticon]] assault on [[San Francisco]], and suggested an air strike. But before a military solution could be devised, Dawson was informed that a nuclear launch had been authorized (by General [[Robert Hallo]], unbeknownst to either man). The President tried to abort the launch, to no avail. During this crisis, he displayed a level of concern that could only be adequately portrayed by [[Pat Lee|his]] unique command of [[Dull surprise|facial expressions]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6}}

===IDW Generation 1 comics===
After the Decepticons had established an [[Infiltration protocol|infiltration team]] on Earth, Republican Senator [[Alexander Holt]] unwittingly talked to a [[facsimile construct]] of a politically powerful military general about concerns that stability in the Middle East would cause problems for his Big Oil backers. The false general assured Holt that the military and the government were in the region for the long haul. This would presumably include the current President. Nine months later, shortly after Megatron took command of the infiltration team, the Decepticon leader sent [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] to attack the El-Jira nuclear power plant in the Middle East to inflame global tensions. By this time, Holt had become the favourite for the Republican presidential candidate and was recommending more direct intervention in the region. {{storylink|Escalation issue 2}}

Over a year later, during the full-scale Decepticon attack on the United States, the President requested [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Colonel Witwicky]] take command at New York City. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2}} He then thought it was a good idea to get on [[Air Force One]] while flying robots were attacking; this caused his death after [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] crashed the plane into the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 3}}

Three years after the Decepticons were driven away, the new President made a live address in response to [[North Korea]] using the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] to attack [[South Korea]]. He announced that any nation using or allying themselves with Cybertronians would be considered by the United States to be in possession of weapons of mass destruction. This was a huge setback for [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], who had just organized an alliance between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Skywatch]], and was planning to use them to take care of the Combaticons. {{storylink|International Incident Part 1: "The Land Ironclads"}}

===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Nicole Oliver]] (English), [[Mariko Takigawa]] (Japanese)

{{note|The President was never named.}}
[[Image:Presidentcybertron.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Beat you to it, Alexis.]]

[[Ask Vector Prime|Yes, she is a girl.]]

The President knew about [[Colonel Franklin]]'s investigation of the Transformers, and didn't believe it was a sensible project. {{storylink|Family}}

She was still a "new President" during the summer, and made confusing promises at the United Nations. She was well known for speaking in incomprehensible jargon. Shortly before the landslide at Boulder, Colorado, [[Six-Speed]] was pulled over by the police, he used a hologram of the President to disguise his lack of a driver. Naturally, seeing the leader of the free world at the wheel of a tiny green race car totally freaked the cops out, and the [[Mini-Con]] was able to drive off in the confusion. {{storylink|Collapse}}

After the Transformers were revealed to Earth, the President admitted to Franklin that she was wrong for doubting his project. {{storylink|Family}}

Much later, the President officially named Franklin as Earth's ambassador to Cybertron. {{storylink|Beginning}}

===Live-action film series===
====''Transformers'' film====
President [[Herbert Hoover]] established [[Sector Seven]] in [[1927]], and had [[Hoover Dam]] built around the [[AllSpark]]. (See Notes)

[[Image:Gwb potus.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Being leader of the free world means you can wear red socks without remorse.]]

{{main|George W. Bush}}
The President in 2007 seemed almost insignificant during most of the Decepticon-caused military chaos, with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller (Movie)|John Keller]] pretty much running the show. Mostly, he wore red socks, had a penchant for Ding Dongs and spoke with a cheesy southwestern accent and stereotypical dialect ("Can you wrangle me up some Ding Dongs, darlin'?"). He also seemed unconcerned with [[Frenzy (Movie)|tiny, crazy robots]] hacking into the computers of [[Air Force One|his ride]]—that is, until he's thrown in a bunker somewhere after the resulting emergency landing.

The United States military began approaching potential conflict with [[Russia]] and [[China]] when Sector Seven realised it was the Transformers. The President ordered [[Tom Banachek]] to the [[Pentagon]] to inform Keller about the Transformers' existence.

He ordered Sector 7 to be terminated and the remains of the dead Decepticons disposed of into the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

====Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' comics====
{{notetitantlg}}
[[Image:Allen4.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Okay Mr. President, so that's one pizza with everything except anchovies, one Coke..."]]

Following Decepticon occupation, the President was dead and John Keller was nowhere to be found. The hawkish Vice President, '''[[Theodore Allen|Theodore F. Allen]]''', became the new President following the liberation of America. Allen distrusts both Autobot and Decepticon, viewing them both as hostile alien invaders using Earth as a battleground for their war, so it would probably piss him off considerably to know [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticons]] have planted a mind-controlling [[cerebro-strip]] in his head. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

While he was allowed to act autonomously during Earth's technorganic crisis {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Return To Cybertron, Part: 1}}, Starscream eventually trigged him. One of his last acts was to get the US government to order the Autobots off American soil - and then nuke their ship as they left. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} He was then used to impair America's response to Decepticon takeover. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}}

He is still President in 2009, after his inherited term had run out, implying he'd won the 2008 election. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
[[Image:Obama_interview.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"No you can not ask to see my brith certificate."]]

[[NEST]] was formed sometime in 2007 or 2008, under the last President. However, the Autobot transmission into space to summon reinforcements was not vetted by the President or any of his staff, only by [[William Lennox|NEST's Major Lennox]].

{{main|Barack Obama}}

Poor old President Obama; while running for office, he was asked about his brith certificate and his policy on alien life and responded with a joke {{storylink|The Real Effing Deal}}... and then found himself a newly elected leader during an Autobot-Decepticon war! He appointed [[Theodore Galloway]] as his National Security Advisor.

Concerns with his brith certificate and the growing casualties caused him to send Galloway to investigate NEST and the Autobots, and when they escalated further he shut down NEST. Following [[Operation: Firestorm]] however, he reactivated NEST {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}} and afterwards took a more Right-Wing role, even authorising airstrikes on US soil. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5}}

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====

[[John F. Kennedy]] initiated the race to the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] on the [[moon (moon)|moon]], which [[Richard Nixon]] saw to completion.

Decades later, Obama awarded [[Sam Witwicky]] a medal for saving the world twice. ''{{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}''

====IDW movie comics====

In [[1898]], [[Theodore Joseph Wells]] and [[Walter Simmons]] were dispatched to investigate [[Archibald Witwicky]]'s claims by order of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_McKinley President McKinley]. His government's House Committee on Military Affairs would finance and back the early [[Sector Seven]]. {{storylink|Original}}

Wells would carry out mysterious missions for the President. This may have included missions for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson President Wilson], almost certainly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Howard_Taft President Taft],and a known [[1900]] mission for McKinley again. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}}

Future President [[Herbert Hoover]] and his wife [[Lou Hoover|Lou]] would be stranded in [[China]] during the Boxer Rebellion, and used a radio to transmit information on Boxer troop movement to American forces; it was here they met Wells of the future Sector Seven. As an expert on mining, Hoover was secretly tasked by Sector Seven to secretly divert the [[Colorado]] River so they could excavate [[AllSpark|"the Cube"]]; Lou, as a metallurgist, was hired as a Sector Seven employee. Both of them encountered [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and helped stop him, and several [[AllSpark Mutation]]s. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}}

During his political career, Hoover made it a key priority to construct a permanent base in Colorado where Sector Seven could keep the Cube. That's why they eventually called it [[Hoover Dam]]! {{storylink|Irreplaceable|Field Notes from John Barber #2}}

===''The AllSpark Almanac''===
A [[Burger Bot]] placemat focused on presidential history. By the 22nd century, [[Mount Rushmore]] has added Nixon and [[Cobra Commander]] to its ranks. It also features the following presidents, and their accomplishments:
* [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], who led the country to victory during World War II.
* [[Walter Barnett (Animated)|Walter Barnett]], who articulated The Barnett Doctrine of open borders.
* [[Elaine Nakamura]], the nation's first female president.
* [[Tommy Kennedy (Animated)|Tommy Kennedy]], who established the first colony on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]].
* [[James K. Polk]], who brought [[Texas]] and [[California]] into the union.
* [[Howard J. Nissen]], who saved the rainforests.
* [[Edward Augutter]], a president-elect who drove off the [[Inhumanoid]] menace.
* [[Benito Caruso]], who restored diplomatic relations between the [[United Kingdom]] and the United States.
* [[John Keller (Animated)|John Keller]], who solved world hunger through the [[Los Bogos Project]].

===Time-Quake===
While traveling through history, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] and a human encountered Abraham Lincoln, shortly before he gave the Gettysburg Address. In 2012 they also encountered [[Gabriella Constanza]], then a teenager, who was destined to become president. She would be the 47th person and first woman to hold that title. Bulkhead saved her from being run over by a bus. {{storylink|Time-Quake}}

===''Shattered Glass''===
The President of the United States was [[President Colton]]. Colton was strong on national defense and didn't care much about how the rest of the world tought. He didn't appreciate the Autobots taking control of his defense satellite, or the Decepticons destroying it.
