98.250.192.131: /* Subline imprints for Transformers series */

[[Image:EnergonPerceptorPackagingVariant.jpg|right|280px|thumb|Fools [[Walmart]]'s buying agents every single time.]]A '''subline imprint''' is a partial [[Rebranding|re-branding]] of a [[franchise]]—typically with a sub-title reflecting a theme or gimmick running through the entire franchise.

Examples include "Battle for the Spark" during ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' and [[AllSpark Power]] for [[Movie (toyline)|the 2007 movie]]. United States airings of the second season of the [[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Machines'' cartoon]] were re-titled to feature the subline imprint - though not the Canadian or UK versions, nor any of the DVDs - while the "Allspark Power" toys occupy a loose umbrella story which occurs after the events of the movie.

==Game Theory==
[[Image:Retailbuyer decisiontree.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Bulk purchasing agents find re-hashed merchandise more attractive offered under a subline imprint.]]
Purchasing agents known as "buyers" make purchasing decisions for hundreds of American retail stores, making their best guess what products will sell and how many while trying to avoid being stuck with the dreaded "old product" ([[Shelfwarmer|unsold toys]]) when the toyline ends.

Buyers purchase many toys from early waves reasoning that even if the toyline flops these will sell ''eventually'' over the line's (hopeful) year-to-eighteen-month "lifetime." Toys in later [[wave]]s (eight-ish) represent a higher risk because they have only a six month window to sell, and tend not to be purchased as heavily. As a result, toy companies spend less money developing later waves, often heavily featuring [[redeco]]s and [[retool]]s, making them even ''less'' attractive to retailers.

For their part, consumers try to avoid purchasing the pegwarmers and shelfwarmers left over as a toyline winds down, but lacking the encyclopedic product knowledge known only to buyers, [[fandom|fans]] and small children, they learn to suspiciously avoid any packaging they recognize from the ''last'' birthday/[[Christmas]]/Kwaanza etc. (again making later-wave toys less attractive to retailers.)

A subline imprint refreshes the packaging for consumers (orange may become bright green in the same layout) while assuring the regional buyers that "No, seriously, this is a ''new'' toyline, you should purchase it more heavily!" Buyers aren't particularly ''fooled'' by this argument, but the re-branding is understood to be a sign that the toy companies have invested in these tail-end waves rather than filled them with junk, making larger retailer purchases a safer investment.

The slippery '''Oil Pan''' is a master of not getting himself caught. He uses [[human]] traffic to his advantage, knowing the Autobots are reluctant to open fire and risk the safety of innocents. He fools Autobots into thinking he is trapped, only to leave his [[Backfire (TF 2010)|purs]][[Skids (ROTF)|uers]] frustrated and impotent as he peels away.

NEST

98.250.192.131: /* Humans */

{{factions|NEST}}
:''NEST is a military organization from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film series]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:NEST insignia.png|right|300px|thumb|Moooooooove out, soldier!]]

Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers (NEST)''' was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[United Kingdom]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon]]s. Under the classified [[Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act]], the Autobots share intelligence and personnel with the US, but not their advanced weaponry.

NEST is given marching orders from the [[Pentagon]], specifically the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ([[Morshower]] in 2008-9). Despite this and its American origins, it expanded early on to include armed forces from other nations such as the [[United Kingdom]] and is allowed access to [[China|foreign territory]].

{{bigquote|A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Alliance3_NEST_rollout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hey, that's my line!]]

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 (Movie)|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 [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]: the mission was successful although Lennox was criticized for allowing the Autobots to transform on the Golden Gate Bridge. NEST expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]: [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] and [[Overcast (Movie)|Overcast]] were destroyed in Europe, while [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] were defeated in [[Florida]]. NEST's victories were tempered with the ultimate sacrifice, such as when [[Salani]] died battling [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]]. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] came 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}}
{{-}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
As [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was spotted in [[Zambia]], gaining control over local rebel groups by using his internal synthesizers to create [[gold]] coins, NEST was deployed to the Zambezi River to battle [[Dropkick]], [[Macerator]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. [[Beachbreak]] was killed by Starscream while helping Optimus Prime not fall to his death at Victoria Falls. Starscream's Decepticons attempted to destroy a series of dams, but Prime killed Macerator, while Payload was drowned when the humans entered the dam and opened the flood gates.

Epps, Russian scientist [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] went to [[Peru]], while Lennox, [[Kaminari Ishihara]], Prime, Ironhide, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] arrived in the Western [[Australia]]n Outback. Epps' team fought off [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], while Lennox's group encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]] and [[Trample]]. Before dying, Kickback revealed he was part of a Decepticon faction not under Starscream's command, which were trying to gather enough energy to revive Megatron.

At Diego Garcia, [[crab spy|a small crab]] Decepticon infiltrated the base and hacked into the NEST computers before sneaking back into the sea. Despite the break-in, the NEST team continued their usual business, hunting another [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in [[Italy|Rome]]. Unexpectedly, Starscream challenged Prime to single combat inside the Coliseum. There, Prime fell through a trap door to a subway tunnel extension and into a strong set of restraints arranged by Italian criminal [[Bruno Carrera]] - who was promised rule of Europe once Starscream conquered Earth - where he was attacked by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. The humans rescued Prime though, and Barricade and Starscream fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

NEST have a centralised [[NEST Server]]. Target coordinates so any nearby forces can get the necessary data. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

NEST have a secret base in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, [[California]], which both monitors for Decepticons and possesses a rapid-reaction strike team for missions on US soil. Ironhide was the commanding officer there, with Sergeant [[Dundee]] as the strike team's leader. At least five people monitor and handle the computer side of things, and like the Diego Garcia base, they work on a raised platform on wheels. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} A Regional Command base exists in [[Wyoming]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} A second California base is at Andrews Air Force Base {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}, and an armoury is hidden in the [[Texas|Alamo]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

An overseas base, labelled as forward operations, exists in [[United Kingdom|Scotland's]] Orkney Islands, overseen by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. It contains a training facility for Autobots, but does not appear heavily staffed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} Another overseas base, a prison for captured Decepticons, was located in Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} A NEST Ops base for [[Canada]] is located in [[CFB Comox]], Vancouver Island {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and a north [[Russia|Russian]] base is located in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

Optimus was absent for a while, off in [[Australia]] on NEST business. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

The California NEST team went to [[Las Vegas]] to intercept and capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. They came close, disabling him with electrified cables and almost anchoring him to the ground, only for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to muck it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, when the twins were at Diego Garcia, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was captured in Australia. Optimus Prime returned to Diego Garcia with this prisoner, but Sideways was freed when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] attacked the island. Since the villain shouldn't have gotten that close without being spotted (there's an ocean in the way!), it was clear NEST's security had been compromised. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Later, the Wyoming base detected the battle between the twins and [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Titan9_NESTdiversion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|There is nothing to see here. Honest.]]

Even later than that, after that whole [[The Fallen|Fallen]] thing (see below), NEST attempted to lure [[Reverb (ROTF)|a motorbike Decepticon]] out of traffic in [[Los Angeles]] and into a trap. Unfortunately, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] fubar-ed the mission and while the target was captured, the damage was extensive. This made [[Theodore Galloway]] ''very'' happy, as it was a new excuse to get NEST shut down.

Two days after that, NEST's Watch-Seven called for help from Andrews Air Force Base, reporting an unknown Cybertronian attacker and requesting back-up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Some time after, NEST forces responded to an attempted break-in at the Alamo armoury. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] would go on to cause a jailbreak in South Africa, overpowering the Autobot guards; NEST had to let Bludgeon's Decepticons leave to prevent civilian deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} Following his escape, NEST forces have seen action against his militia and unrelated Decepticons in Canada, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}, the North Atlantic {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}, Egypt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}, and [[Peru]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}. After they were seen to retreat in South Africa, however, NEST's standing has been low in the eyes of the world. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

An ongoing NEST mission is to locate all the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area. In reality, the Autobot-human military alliance was hunting the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months, with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret war. Unfortunately, the Decepticons, Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated by Sideswipe and Optimus Prime. Returning to their base at Diego Garcia, Lennox and Optimus met [[Theodore Galloway]], who was appointed their new Director by the [[President of the United States]], and held a video conference with General [[Morshower]]. Galloway noted President [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s serious concerns at the destruction during the Shanghai battle, and voiced his opinion that the Decepticons only remained because the Autobots did. Optimus said that if the Autobots were asked to leave, they would do so, but asked Galloway to pass on a message to the President: what if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Little did they know, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was listening in on their conversation, overhearing details such as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], and the last [[AllSpark]] fragment in storage at Diego Garcia. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was deployed to steal the fragment, which [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] used to revive their leader. The reborn Megatron went after [[Sam Witwicky]], and Optimus Prime died protecting him. Following Optimus' death, the Decepticons arrived in greater numbers during bolder attacks under the leadership of Megatron's master, [[The Fallen]], with the promise of more if the humans did not turn Sam over to the Decepticons. Galloway ordered the termination of NEST and that the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia.

But [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox, revealing he had travelled to [[Egypt]] with Sam to unravel the Decepticons' plot, and that they should bring Optimus Prime's body, as the boy had a plan to resurrect him. Lennox managed to get the information to General Morshower, who managed to arrange assets to be positioned accordingly. During their supposed flight to Diego Garcia, Lennox had the pilots divert to Egypt and then fake engine trouble so Galloway would be forced to parachute off the plane, so they could land outside the [[pyramid]]s instead. Once they set up, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] performed a flyby and released an [[electromagnetic pulse]], disabling communications, while Soundwave knocked out the [[United States military]] satellite coverage. Once communications were out, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack, with a small force landing to engage NEST.

Suspecting something was wrong, Morshower ordered a UAV deployed to observe what was going on, while Simmons was able to use a radio from a [[Jordan]]ian helicopter to request backup from the nearby [[United States Navy#U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74)|U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> battle group]]. Once the UAV confirmed the battle was going on, Morshower deployed all available assets to the region. On the ground, NEST fought a desperate struggle to hold off the Decepticons, until Sam arrived with the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Once again in contact with the military, Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike, which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces. Megatron survived the strike, and killed Sam, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] managed to revive him, and he restored Optimus to life. With the Autobot leader functioning again, NEST watched as he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and subsequently defeated The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
{{Cleanup|August 2011|This should all be in past tense}}
NEST arrives in an abandoned facility called Chernobyl to investigate an alien technology. Little did they know that [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] was leading them to a trap, and as they journey deeper in the facility, they were ambushed by [[Shockwave]] and [[Driller]]. The Decepticons were then overpowered by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobots]]. Returning to their secret base, disguised as a "Health and Human services", where they now train most of the Autobots in the NEST team. They meet [[Charlotte Mearing|Director Charlotte Mearing]], who interrogates Optimus, who seems to be in a "bad mood" due to humans not telling the Autobots about the concealed technology for the past few years. She appoints two of NASA's founding associates and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] and explains the true event of the space race, explaining that there was a crashlanded spacecraft that landed on the moon, and NASA decided to investigate the ship, which made them realize, that they were not alone in this universe. Optimus then explains that the spacecraft is called "[[Ark (DOTM)|The Ark]]" and he has watched it escape Cybertron during the war. He also claims that it carries a technology that would have won the Autobots the war, and the captain, [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]. Optimus explains that he must get to the spacecraft and pray that it is in time.

As the Autobots: Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] arrive on the moon, they search for the Ark. As they enter the Ark, they find Sentinel, and Ratchet realizes that Sentinel sacrificed himself, to guard the Pillars, the technology which would have won the Autobots the war on Cybertron. Optimus then brings Sentinel home. Meanwhile, as [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Carly Spencer]] escape from Sam's office from Laserbeak, they were confronted by NEST guards, claiming that they are in the wrong facility. Sam persists, and calls [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from one of the guard's radios. Bumblebee emerges and the guards give Sam the clearance to go in the facility. Sam gives the information about the "moon program, assassinations, and the dark side of the moon" to Lennox, but as Director Mearing sees Sam and Carly walk in, she doubts Sam, and cannot entrust National Security to "teenagers".

Meanwhile, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel, whom when he is awaken, believes that Optimus is an enemy, and attacks him, but he realizes that they are his fellow Autobots. Optimus explains that the war is lost, and that he only saved only five of his Pillars, while there were hundreds. Sentinel then explains to the NEST forces that the Pillars are devices that are used for transportation, which in this case, is for transporting refuges, he also explains that if the Pillars are in the hands of the Decepticons, it would mean the end of "[[Earth|your world]]."

As Sam and Carly are in Mearing's office, Sam asks if there is any way to contribute to the Autobots and NEST, but she refuses, as only soldiers and trained officers can work with NEST, as if she allows Sam to contribute, it will break her chain of command, she claims that Sam is a "messenger". So she appoints Sam under the protection of Bumblebee.

As Sam,and [[Seymour Simmons]] and his assistant, [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] realize that the Decepticons raided the Ark, took the Pillars and left five Pillars. Sam explains to Mearing that the whole thing was set up, and that the Decepticons were coming for Sentinel Prime. As a battle in the highway raged, and the Autobots returned to the NEST headquarters, they realized that Sentinel Prime had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race and it's home. Sentinel then kills [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his Cosmic Rust-Cannon, and Ironhide then disintegrates. Sentinel destroys the headquarters, while Mearing asks Sentinel what he was doing, and he claims that "he is a Prime, and the he doesn't take orders from humans". The NEST forces realize that Sentinel is too strong to be engaged, and that they have to retreat to the [[Pentagon]], with Sentinel taking all the Pillars, realizing that they have to hunt Sentinel down.

Back in the Pentagon, the NEST forces receive an encrypted audio code, which was Sentinel asking to renounce the Autobot rebels, and they will leave Earth unharmed and unspoiled. So the NEST forces have no choice but to exile the Autobots, using a ship called the ''Xantium''. Sam meets [[Robert Epps]], a former NEST soldier at the rocket facility. As the Autobots exile the planet, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacks the ship, presumably killing the Autobots.

Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from [[Dylan Gould]], a human agent of the Decepticons, saying that they would make sure that the Autobots will go without a fight. Using the phone call, Sam uses Dylan's phone number to track Dylan, with the help of Dutch. Dutch tracks the phone, and triangulates it to the Trump Tower in Chiacgo. Sam will have to go inside the tower, and rescue Carly, but Epps decides to help him, as Gould has killed his friends also. Epps picks up most of his former NEST soldiers, and they go to Chicago, which is now infested with Decepticons and became a barren wasteland, as they were attacked by the Decepticon fighters, Optimus and the Autobots rescued them from the attack.

Meanwhile, Lennox and his wingsuiting party decide to wingsuit in the building to destroy the Control Pillar at one of the skyscrapers. As they fly in to Chicago, they wingsuit in but Starscream attacks them, and several Decepticon fighters also attack the wingsuiters. The remaining wingsuiters land in one of the buildings, while Epps and his party snipe out the Decepticon's eyes, leaving them blind, and the ground forces plant charges on the Decepticons, and shoot them down. They manage to badly wound [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and kill [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and some Decepticons. They also call in tomahawks to shoot down the Decepticon fighters, which were wounding Optimus, and gave Optimus cover as he fights Sentinel Prime. When the battle was finished, Lennox calls Sam so he could be reunited with Carly, and the NEST forces were also reunited. Presumably, Epps and his remaining NEST party returns to work at NEST. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*What NEST stands for was not mentioned in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Different meanings were given by different sources. Lately, Hasbro have favored "Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers" by including it in their online glossary as part of [[Vector Sigma]]'s [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/nest Vector Sigma's glossary entry on NEST.]</ref> Even more recently, though, movie comic author [[John Barber]] has consistently used "Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty" in his ''[[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' projects.

* 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.

* The native population of [[Diego Garcia]] were [[Wikipedia:Depopulation_of_Diego_Garcia|''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. [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_Emergency_Support_Team|The Nuclear Emergency Support Team]]. Of course, it could just be a cover for joint operations with alien robots. Toxic spill, indeed...

* The [[United Kingdom]], [[South Africa]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]], and [[Russia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} have contributed tech guys, soldiers, and bases; China, Egypt, [[Australia]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}, Argentina {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}, [[Peru]], [[Italy]], and [[Zambia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} ''may'' be part of it, or may just be allowing NEST to enter their territory.

* While the spin-off media presents NEST as a multinational force and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' does show them operating abroad and with foreign soldiers, in the film itself NEST is presented as being under the ''direct'' control of the United States of America. (That can't make China and Russia happy...)

* The ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline's [[Size class|Voyager class]] Ironhide toy features a different NEST symbol on his alt-mode doors; a white Autobot symbol wearing a red beret set within a United Nations-styled logo, with 'special program' written underneath. Meanwhile, Scout class [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] features a NEST symbol with the Autobot sigil and a downward pointing broadsword (from a NEST special forces patch) replacing the cow's skull. [[Fast Action Battlers]] Ironhide has the same sword symbol as Dune Runner. Yet more toys have the globe-and-Autobot insignia shown above. NEST must have a lot of bored designers on staff.
** These alternate logos don't usually appear in the fiction. Exceptions include the Global Alliance logo on [[CFB Comox]] in a Titan comic.

:''The Twins are a couple of redneck-lookin' [[Autobot|'bots]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ROTF movie SkidsMudflap bigmother.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I grabbed me a chair and said "Watch 'im, folks, 'cause he's a thoroughly dangerous man!"]]

When a [[spark]] splits into two separate sparks, the resulting two Cybertronians are considered [[twin]]s, with an incredibly close bond. One such division yielded [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], a pair of doofy-looking, hyperactive chatterboxes who refer to themselves simply as '''the Twins'''.

The inseparable pair spends more time fighting with each other than paying attention to anything going on around them. They like to think they're hard core, but when their guard drops, it turns out they're basically a couple of robot rednecks. Still, they can hold their own in a fight, and they are eager to show [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] just how skilled they are. Whether this will end up getting them killed is another question, though they have had some extremely close calls before.

Each twin can transform into smaller separate vehicles or combine for a single, more durable alternate mode.<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Skids Profile, Transformers #1 (Titan, Vol.2)]] — greatly expanded from his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe]]'' bio</ref> Upon first arriving on [[Earth]], the twins took the form of a beat-up old ice cream truck,<ref>[[Alliance issue 4]]</ref> but later [[Scanning|scanned]] a couple of slick new Chevy cars for disguises.<ref>[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)]]</ref>

===IDW comics continuity===

[[Image:Alliance04 icecreamtruck.jpg|left|thumb|150px|The Twins briefly had a [[combiner|shared alternate mode]].]]
The Twins received Optimus Prime's transmission for Autobots to come to Earth and help defend their new home from [[Decepticon]] reprisals. They met up with [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] and landed near [[Mission City]], making their way to a junkyard with a homing beacon Prime's Autobots had left after the destruction of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[AllSpark#Live-action_movie_universe|AllSpark]]. After a short period of training on [[Diego Garcia]], it was announced that the Twins would be joining the other new arrivals in helping to counter the Decepticon incursion in [[Shanghai]] {{storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

===Titan Magazine===

{{stub}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
After [[NEST]] was deployed to Shanghai, the Twins were the first to be deployed, patrolling the streets and taunting any hiding Decepticons to come out and "suck their popsicle". When [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] tried to make a break for it, the Twins cut him off, forcing him to turn a corner toward a dead end...and jump through an apartment building. While Arcee's components jumped through the hole he had made, the Twins decided to go around the building. However, the turn was too fast, and Mudflap lost control. Although he took full blame for screwing that up, Skids still punched him out. It's combat, what's wrong with him?!

After returning to Diego Garcia, it was decided the Twins would take separate alternate modes, and a green Beat and red Trax were provided. Both Twins were impressed, and Mudflap announced he would be taking the green. Skids disagreed, and a minor scuffle followed, as Skids called the green.

When multiple Decepticon contacts were detected on the East Coast of the [[United States of America|United States]], the Autobots immediately went to counter them without NEST. Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] went to rescue [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Mikaela Banes]], and [[Leo Spitz]] from Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. While Optimus took Sam to the nearby Pine Barrens, Bumblebee rejoined the rest of the Autobots and headed to reinforce Optimus. Unfortunately, by the time they got there, Megatron had already killed Prime, and the Twins served as escort when Bumblebee took the three teens to hide in an abandoned prison.

As Leo Spitz started to have a freak out over what was happening, Skids wondered what they would do with the "shrimp taco". Mudflap suggested they simply pop a cap in him, toss him in the trunk, and forget about him. Skids, however, didn't want Leo in ''his'' trunk. Leo told the two "bumper cars" that there would be no killing. An unimpressed Skids told him to get a haircut and whine to his boyfriend. That evening, Sam asked the Twins if they could read the symbols he was seeing. They identified them as [[Cyberglyphics|old school Cybertronian]]. Unfortunately, the Twins couldn't read the symbols, and weren't that much into reading anyway. When Leo came back, the Twins still poked fun at him, with Mudflap saying his panic attack was because he was a pussy. Leo however, knew of someone who might be able to help them, and the Twins accompanied Bumblebee and the to [[New York City]], where the source turned out to be [[Seymour Simmons]], former agent of [[Sector Seven]], who in turn led them to [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] at the [[Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum]]. Jetfire in turn teleported the group to [[Egypt]] (an experience the Twins had no desire to repeat anytime soon), and told them of [[The Fallen]], the [[Star Harvester]] he sought, and how the [[Dynasty of Primes]] hid the [[Matrix of Leadership]] needed to activate somewhere on Earth.

As Sam continued on his quest to find the Matrix, in the hopes that it could somehow revive Optimus, the Twins continued their supporting roles. As they tried to evade some police, the Twins transformed to robot mode and hid in between some buildings. Skids described it as "blending in with the landscape, like a ninja", and Mudflap told him to shut up. As they made their way to [[Giza]], Skids continued his attempts to blend in, only to run right into Bumblebee.

Sam worked out the next clue, and the group made their way to [[Petra]]. The ruins there appeared to be a dead end, and as Sam insisted that it wasn't over yet, Mudflap openly questioned why they were still following him, as he had done nothing for them. When Skids reminded his brother that Sam had killed Megatron, Mudflap countered that he hadn't gotten the job done. As the argument grew heated, Mudflap called Skids ugly, and a brawl followed, with the Twins damaging the ruins and nearly crushing the humans in the cramped quarters. At this point, Bumblebee decided to intervene and stop the brawl...by picking the Twins up, bashing them together, and throwing them out of the ruins. However, their fight had unintended consequences, as the damage revealed the [[Tomb of the Primes]].

[[Image:ROTF Mudflap shoots Skids.jpg|thumb|right|250px| "Nobody messes with the Twins!"
"Yeah! We mess with each other instead!"]]
As the group made their way to where NEST had landed with Optimus Prime's body, Starscream began strafing their position, forcing the Twins to take Simmons and Leo away as distractions. Heading toward a quarry near the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], the Twins witnessed Megatron order the Decepticons to begin their assault, as the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s arrived in the quarry to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. The Twins were initially unimpressed with the giant, until he started using his [[Vortex Grinder]] to begin pulling everything inside his mouth. And the Twins grabbed on for dear life, Mudflap lost his grip and was swallowed by Devastator. As Skids mourned his brother's presumed death, Simmons said that the only safe place was under Devastator. As the trio made their way under, Mudflap fought his way out of Devastator's face and began firing on the [[combiner]]. Skids climbed up Devastator's [[Hightower (ROTF)|left paw]] and fired a grapple for Mudflap to grab onto. Just as the Twins grabbed hold of each other, Mudflap accidentally fired his cannon right into Skids' face, knocking the two off. Fortunately, they managed to land under Devastator with the two humans. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

*'''Autobot Skids And Mudflap''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-20'''

:This two-pack of the twin Autobot brothers can combine into a single, old-fashioned ice cream truck. The vehicle splits in half right down the middle of its chassis (similar to how it does in the film) to create the two small robot forms. Other than the transformation, the toy features no [[gimmick]]s.

:Mudflap's heels are too thick for his feet to fold up properly in vehicle mode, though this can be fixed by trimming them. Also, this toy may be the first Transformer to feature the typeface Comic Sans, which is used to write "MADE FRESH FOR YOU" across both front wheel hubs. But that's on Skids's half, so Mudflap is partly absolved here.

:Both Skids and Mudflap have sculpted rust detailing all over the Ice cream tuck, but for some reason, they are not painted.

:Amusingly, the ice cream truck accommodates [[Human Alliance]] human figures ''really'' well.

*'''Shanghai Showdown''' (Multi-pack, 2010)
:The twins in this set have additional decals for you to put on (save for the "suck my popsicle" slogan) and painted rust and "Caution Children" for the ice cream truck mode. They come with a redecoed version of [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]].

:This [[Target]]-exclusive two pack (or three pack, depending on [[Rack'n'Ruin|how you count]]) features a redecoed Sideways and the ice-cream truck mode of Mudflap and Skids, which replaces most of the robot mode white plastic on the originals with a rusty brown, adds even more rusty paint applications than the earlier "Shanghai Showdown" version and omits the comic-sans "Made fresh for you" on the front wheel wells of the truck.

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTFSmartCarTwinConcept.jpg|thumb|300px|Oh, so that explains it. They left the Smart one out of the film.]]
*The Twins' final alternate modes in the film, the Chevrolet Beat (Skids) and Chevrolet Trax (Mudflap), were designed by General Motors as small car concept vehicles. At one point in the film's pre-production, another small car, the [[wikipedia:Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes-Benz]] [[wikipedia:Smart (automobile)|Smart]], was evidently considered as an option for a film character; concept art of a "third twin" based on it appears in various sections of the ''Revenge'' DVD special features, always in close proximity to concept art of Skids and Mudflap. Whether it was meant to be a third character related to Skids and Mudflap or if it was supposed to be used in place of one of them is unknown. What '''is''' known is that [[Hasbro]] has had great difficultly in the past trying to get likeness licenses from German automakers, which is probably why the vehicle/character was dropped.

*The toymakers seem to be a bit confused about the roles of The Twins in their final battle; it's Mudflap who blasts his way through Devastator's mouth and Skids who uses a grappling hook to haul his twin out of it, but this is reversed in the Fast Action Battler and Human Alliance toys, which give Skids the large arm-cannon and Mudflap the grapple. The Deluxe class toys get it right, though.

:''NEST is a military organization from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film series]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:NEST insignia.png|right|300px|thumb|Moooooooove out, soldier!]]

Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers (NEST)''' was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[United Kingdom]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon]]s. Under the classified [[Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act]], the Autobots share intelligence and personnel with the US, but not their advanced weaponry.

NEST is given marching orders from the [[Pentagon]], specifically the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ([[Morshower]] in 2008-9). Despite this and its American origins, it expanded early on to include armed forces from other nations such as the [[United Kingdom]] and is allowed access to [[China|foreign territory]].

{{bigquote|A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Alliance3_NEST_rollout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hey, that's my line!]]

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 (Movie)|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 [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]: the mission was successful although Lennox was criticized for allowing the Autobots to transform on the Golden Gate Bridge. NEST expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]: [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] and [[Overcast (Movie)|Overcast]] were destroyed in Europe, while [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] were defeated in [[Florida]]. NEST's victories were tempered with the ultimate sacrifice, such as when [[Salani]] died battling [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]]. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] came 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}}
{{-}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
As [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was spotted in [[Zambia]], gaining control over local rebel groups by using his internal synthesizers to create [[gold]] coins, NEST was deployed to the Zambezi River to battle [[Dropkick]], [[Macerator]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. [[Beachbreak]] was killed by Starscream while helping Optimus Prime not fall to his death at Victoria Falls. Starscream's Decepticons attempted to destroy a series of dams, but Prime killed Macerator, while Payload was drowned when the humans entered the dam and opened the flood gates.

Epps, Russian scientist [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] went to [[Peru]], while Lennox, [[Kaminari Ishihara]], Prime, Ironhide, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] arrived in the Western [[Australia]]n Outback. Epps' team fought off [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], while Lennox's group encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]] and [[Trample]]. Before dying, Kickback revealed he was part of a Decepticon faction not under Starscream's command, which were trying to gather enough energy to revive Megatron.

At Diego Garcia, [[crab spy|a small crab]] Decepticon infiltrated the base and hacked into the NEST computers before sneaking back into the sea. Despite the break-in, the NEST team continued their usual business, hunting another [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in [[Italy|Rome]]. Unexpectedly, Starscream challenged Prime to single combat inside the Coliseum. There, Prime fell through a trap door to a subway tunnel extension and into a strong set of restraints arranged by Italian criminal [[Bruno Carrera]] - who was promised rule of Europe once Starscream conquered Earth - where he was attacked by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. The humans rescued Prime though, and Barricade and Starscream fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===
[[Image:Titan3_NESTedwardsairbase.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Where were we in the film? We were... redecorating. Yes.]]

NEST have a centralised [[NEST Server]]. Target coordinates so any nearby forces can get the necessary data. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

NEST have a secret base in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, [[California]], which both monitors for Decepticons and possesses a rapid-reaction strike team for missions on US soil. Ironhide was the commanding officer there, with Sergeant [[Dundee]] as the strike team's leader. At least five people monitor and handle the computer side of things, and like the Diego Garcia base, they work on a raised platform on wheels. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} A Regional Command base exists in [[Wyoming]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} A second California base is at Andrews Air Force Base {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}, and an armoury is hidden in the [[Texas|Alamo]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

An overseas base, labelled as forward operations, exists in [[United Kingdom|Scotland's]] Orkney Islands, overseen by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. It contains a training facility for Autobots, but does not appear heavily staffed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} Another overseas base, a prison for captured Decepticons, was located in Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} A NEST Ops base for [[Canada]] is located in [[CFB Comox]], Vancouver Island {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and a north [[Russia|Russian]] base is located in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

Optimus was absent for a while, off in [[Australia]] on NEST business. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

The California NEST team went to [[Las Vegas]] to intercept and capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. They came close, disabling him with electrified cables and almost anchoring him to the ground, only for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to muck it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, when the twins were at Diego Garcia, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was captured in Australia. Optimus Prime returned to Diego Garcia with this prisoner, but Sideways was freed when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] attacked the island. Since the villain shouldn't have gotten that close without being spotted (there's an ocean in the way!), it was clear NEST's security had been compromised. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Later, the Wyoming base detected the battle between the twins and [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Titan9_NESTdiversion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|There is nothing to see here. Honest.]]

Even later than that, after that whole [[The Fallen|Fallen]] thing (see below), NEST attempted to lure [[Reverb (ROTF)|a motorbike Decepticon]] out of traffic in [[Los Angeles]] and into a trap. Unfortunately, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] fubar-ed the mission and while the target was captured, the damage was extensive. This made [[Theodore Galloway]] ''very'' happy, as it was a new excuse to get NEST shut down.

Two days after that, NEST's Watch-Seven called for help from Andrews Air Force Base, reporting an unknown Cybertronian attacker and requesting back-up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Some time after, NEST forces responded to an attempted break-in at the Alamo armoury. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] would go on to cause a jailbreak in South Africa, overpowering the Autobot guards; NEST had to let Bludgeon's Decepticons leave to prevent civilian deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} Following his escape, NEST forces have seen action against his militia and unrelated Decepticons in Canada, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}, the North Atlantic {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}, Egypt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}, and [[Peru]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}. After they were seen to retreat in South Africa, however, NEST's standing has been low in the eyes of the world. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

An ongoing NEST mission is to locate all the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area. In reality, the Autobot-human military alliance was hunting the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months, with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret war. Unfortunately, the Decepticons, Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated by Sideswipe and Optimus Prime. Returning to their base at Diego Garcia, Lennox and Optimus met [[Theodore Galloway]], who was appointed their new Director by the [[President of the United States]], and held a video conference with General [[Morshower]]. Galloway noted President [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s serious concerns at the destruction during the Shanghai battle, and voiced his opinion that the Decepticons only remained because the Autobots did. Optimus said that if the Autobots were asked to leave, they would do so, but asked Galloway to pass on a message to the President: what if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Little did they know, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was listening in on their conversation, overhearing details such as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], and the last [[AllSpark]] fragment in storage at Diego Garcia. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was deployed to steal the fragment, which [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] used to revive their leader. The reborn Megatron went after [[Sam Witwicky]], and Optimus Prime died protecting him. Following Optimus' death, the Decepticons arrived in greater numbers during bolder attacks under the leadership of Megatron's master, [[The Fallen]], with the promise of more if the humans did not turn Sam over to the Decepticons. Galloway ordered the termination of NEST and that the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia.

But [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox, revealing he had travelled to [[Egypt]] with Sam to unravel the Decepticons' plot, and that they should bring Optimus Prime's body, as the boy had a plan to resurrect him. Lennox managed to get the information to General Morshower, who managed to arrange assets to be positioned accordingly. During their supposed flight to Diego Garcia, Lennox had the pilots divert to Egypt and then fake engine trouble so Galloway would be forced to parachute off the plane, so they could land outside the [[pyramid]]s instead. Once they set up, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] performed a flyby and released an [[electromagnetic pulse]], disabling communications, while Soundwave knocked out the [[United States military]] satellite coverage. Once communications were out, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack, with a small force landing to engage NEST.

Suspecting something was wrong, Morshower ordered a UAV deployed to observe what was going on, while Simmons was able to use a radio from a [[Jordan]]ian helicopter to request backup from the nearby [[United States Navy#U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74)|U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> battle group]]. Once the UAV confirmed the battle was going on, Morshower deployed all available assets to the region. On the ground, NEST fought a desperate struggle to hold off the Decepticons, until Sam arrived with the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Once again in contact with the military, Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike, which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces. Megatron survived the strike, and killed Sam, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] managed to revive him, and he restored Optimus to life. With the Autobot leader functioning again, NEST watched as he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and subsequently defeated The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
{{Cleanup|August 2011|This should all be in past tense}}
NEST arrives in an abandoned facility called Chernobyl to investigate an alien technology. Little did they know that [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] was leading them to a trap, and as they journey deeper in the facility, they were ambushed by [[Shockwave]] and [[Driller]]. The Decepticons were then overpowered by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobots]]. Returning to their secret base, disguised as a "Health and Human services", where they now train most of the Autobots in the NEST team. They meet [[Charlotte Mearing|Director Charlotte Mearing]], who interrogates Optimus, who seems to be in a "bad mood" due to humans not telling the Autobots about the concealed technology for the past few years. She appoints two of NASA's founding associates and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] and explains the true event of the space race, explaining that there was a crashlanded spacecraft that landed on the moon, and NASA decided to investigate the ship, which made them realize, that they were not alone in this universe. Optimus then explains that the spacecraft is called "[[Ark (DOTM)|The Ark]]" and he has watched it escape Cybertron during the war. He also claims that it carries a technology that would have won the Autobots the war, and the captain, [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]. Optimus explains that he must get to the spacecraft and pray that it is in time.

As the Autobots: Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] arrive on the moon, they search for the Ark. As they enter the Ark, they find Sentinel, and Ratchet realizes that Sentinel sacrificed himself, to guard the Pillars, the technology which would have won the Autobots the war on Cybertron. Optimus then brings Sentinel home. Meanwhile, as [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Carly Spencer]] escape from Sam's office from Laserbeak, they were confronted by NEST guards, claiming that they are in the wrong facility. Sam persists, and calls [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from one of the guard's radios. Bumblebee emerges and the guards give Sam the clearance to go in the facility. Sam gives the information about the "moon program, assassinations, and the dark side of the moon" to Lennox, but as Director Mearing sees Sam and Carly walk in, she doubts Sam, and cannot entrust National Security to "teenagers".

Meanwhile, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel, whom when he is awaken, believes that Optimus is an enemy, and attacks him, but he realizes that they are his fellow Autobots. Optimus explains that the war is lost, and that he only saved only five of his Pillars, while there were hundreds. Sentinel then explains to the NEST forces that the Pillars are devices that are used for transportation, which in this case, is for transporting refuges, he also explains that if the Pillars are in the hands of the Decepticons, it would mean the end of "[[Earth|your world]]."

As Sam and Carly are in Mearing's office, Sam asks if there is any way to contribute to the Autobots and NEST, but she refuses, as only soldiers and trained officers can work with NEST, as if she allows Sam to contribute, it will break her chain of command, she claims that Sam is a "messenger". So she appoints Sam under the protection of Bumblebee.

As Sam,and [[Seymour Simmons]] and his assistant, [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] realize that the Decepticons raided the Ark, took the Pillars and left five Pillars. Sam explains to Mearing that the whole thing was set up, and that the Decepticons were coming for Sentinel Prime. As a battle in the highway raged, and the Autobots returned to the NEST headquarters, they realized that Sentinel Prime had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race and it's home. Sentinel then kills [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his Cosmic Rust-Cannon, and Ironhide then disintegrates. Sentinel destroys the headquarters, while Mearing asks Sentinel what he was doing, and he claims that "he is a Prime, and the he doesn't take orders from humans". The NEST forces realize that Sentinel is too strong to be engaged, and that they have to retreat to the [[Pentagon]], with Sentinel taking all the Pillars, realizing that they have to hunt Sentinel down.

Back in the Pentagon, the NEST forces receive an encrypted audio code, which was Sentinel asking to renounce the Autobot rebels, and they will leave Earth unharmed and unspoiled. So the NEST forces have no choice but to exile the Autobots, using a ship called the ''Xantium''. Sam meets [[Robert Epps]], a former NEST soldier at the rocket facility. As the Autobots exile the planet, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacks the ship, presumably killing the Autobots.

Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from [[Dylan Gould]], a human agent of the Decepticons, saying that they would make sure that the Autobots will go without a fight. Using the phone call, Sam uses Dylan's phone number to track Dylan, with the help of Dutch. Dutch tracks the phone, and triangulates it to the Trump Tower in Chiacgo. Sam will have to go inside the tower, and rescue Carly, but Epps decides to help him, as Gould has killed his friends also. Epps picks up most of his former NEST soldiers, and they go to Chicago, which is now infested with Decepticons and became a barren wasteland, as they were attacked by the Decepticon fighters, Optimus and the Autobots rescued them from the attack.

Meanwhile, Lennox and his wingsuiting party decide to wingsuit in the building to destroy the Control Pillar at one of the skyscrapers. As they fly in to Chicago, they wingsuit in but Starscream attacks them, and several Decepticon fighters also attack the wingsuiters. The remaining wingsuiters land in one of the buildings, while Epps and his party snipe out the Decepticon's eyes, leaving them blind, and the ground forces plant charges on the Decepticons, and shoot them down. They manage to badly wound [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and kill [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and some Decepticons. They also call in tomahawks to shoot down the Decepticon fighters, which were wounding Optimus, and gave Optimus cover as he fights Sentinel Prime. When the battle was finished, Lennox calls Sam so he could be reunited with Carly, and the NEST forces were also reunited. Presumably, Epps and his remaining NEST party returns to work at NEST. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

* The ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline's [[Size class|Voyager class]] Ironhide toy features a different NEST symbol on his alt-mode doors; a white Autobot symbol wearing a red beret set within a United Nations-styled logo, with 'special program' written underneath. Meanwhile, Scout class [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] features a NEST symbol with the Autobot sigil and a downward pointing broadsword (from a NEST special forces patch) replacing the cow's skull. [[Fast Action Battlers]] Ironhide has the same sword symbol as Dune Runner. Yet more toys have the globe-and-Autobot insignia shown above. NEST must have a lot of bored designers on staff.

:''Burke is a [[human]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie2007_Burke_Ranger3.jpg|thumb|250px|"Hey guys! I get a line of dialogue!"]]

'''Burke''' is a member of the [[United States Army|United States Army Rangers]], under the command of [[William Lennox]]. He is one of [[Qatar Ranger Team|the squad]]'s SAW gunners.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007) movie===
:''Actor:'' [[Brian Shehan]] (English)

[[Image:Tf2007 rangerteam.jpg|thumb|300px|left|]]

Returning back to [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] after a mission, Captain Lennox's men discussed what they were going to do once they got home to the States. As usual, [[Jorge Figueroa|Fig]] talked about his mom's cooking in Spanish, something that amused all of the squad because he had been told numerous times that none of them spoke Spanish. When Lennox told them of his desire to see his baby girl for the first time, Burke and the others joined in on the friendly ribbing over this sappy sentiment.

After getting back to camp, while [[Robert Epps|Epps]] made his way to the basketball court, Burke went to the rudimentary open-air shower and pushed other soldiers aside, to their consternation. Soon after, [[Blackout (Movie)|a mysterious MH-53 Pave Low]] touched down and began disrupting the communication and power supplies of the base. Suddenly, the base was under attack as the helicopter somehow transformed into a giant walking weapons platform. Burke and the others grabbed their gear and ran for their lives as the machine crushed all opposition standing in its way to the communications center. After rescuing local boy [[Mahfouz]] and Epps, the Rangers escaped into the night as the base was leveled.

While the medical teams from the Army sifted through the rubble for survivors and the United States government tried to find answers, the Rangers made their way across the Qatari countryside, unaware that they were [[Scorponok (Movie)|being followed, and being watched]]. Stopping at an abandoned tank to rest, Burke kept an eye on the horizon for hostiles while the others discussed the attack and the images Epps managed to capture. Deciding that the [[Pentagon]] must know their intel, they headed to Mahfouz's village, where a telephone could be found.

[[Image:Movie2007_Scorponok_Donnelly_Burke.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

Arriving on the outskirts, the weary travelers were suddenly attacked by a giant mechanical scorpion. When it managed to kill [[Patrick Donnelly|Donnelly]], the Rangers began a ragged retreat, though Burke kept his nerve and provided covering fire from his M249 Para. As Captain Lennox struggled with a bored and unsympathetic telephone operator, Burke held the line steady and ordered fire directed at the attacker. However, it was soon clear to the Pentagon that the solders were clearly outmatched and ordered assets of the [[United States Air Force]] to attack, which Lennox's Rangers guided in by lazing the target. While they managed to drive the attacker away, Fig paid the price when he was hit by one of the creature's rockets. On the plane trip back to the United States, the Rangers and the R&D team were examining the strange tail left behind by the mechanical scorpion when it suddenly jerked up to life, so Burke and the others had to strap it down to the examination table. Though the battle had been costly, it did provide them with an answer to how to fight back against the mechanical creatures.

[[Image:Movie2007_Burke_S7standoff.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

Upon arrival at [[United States Air Force#Facilities|Nellis Air Force Base]] in [[Nevada]], agents from an unknown government organization hustled the Rangers into SUVs and took them to [[Hoover Dam]], where they reported to [[John Keller|Secretary of Defense Keller]] about the mysterious events of the past few days. Inside the dam, they learned from [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[Tom Banachek]] and, incredibly, some teenage boy named [[Sam Witwicky]] about the reasons for the attacks and the players in it. During a demonstration of the [[AllSpark]] Cube's power, Burke was more curious than frightened by the alien creature created from a cell phone, tapping the glass as it furiously banged into the sides of a armoured box. When the evil [[Decepticon]]s arrived and attacked the dam, the soldiers were led to an arms room where a tense stand off erupted when Simmons refused to let Sam see [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the boy's alien robot car]], which would help the situation. The situation was defused when Keller ordered Simmons to do as the Rangers demanded.

[[Image:Movie2007_MissionCity_Burkecoveringfire.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

After the [[Autobot]] car was freed and the Cube was miraculously shrunken down to a small, hand-held size, Lennox ordered his Rangers and the [[Sector Seven]] troopers to form a perimeter protecting the car and its occupants. Burke was the gunner on Lennox and Epps's command buggy as the convoy headed towards [[Mission City]], where they would attempt to find some sort of off-line communication device that wasn't affected by the worldwide communications blackout. When the Decepticons showed up in Mission City Burke and the Rangers helped [[Ratchet (Movie)|the Autobot rescue vehicle]] take down [[Brawl (Movie)|the tank]], but were then forced to retreat when [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] arrived, with the [[Jazz (Movie)|Pontiac Solstice]] sacrificing his life to cover their escape. After helping evacuate a wounded Sector Seven trooper, Burke watched unhappily as the evil tank got back up, and not only that, but the helicopter that leveled SOCCENT Qatar joined in the battle. Lennox ordered his Rangers to hold the line as Sam escaped with the Cube, in the hopes of removing the alien artifact from the battlefield while the Decepticons were busy. However, the soldiers had their hands full with the tank while most of the Autobots were assigned to protect Sam. Salvation came in the form of the yellow Camaro, who helped them destroy the tank once and for all.

While the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|friendly Autobot leader]] and Megatron fought, Lennox and the soldiers moved in to assist, but were prevented from doing so by that evil helicopter. Lennox and Epps formulated a plan where they would call in the rapidly-arriving F-22 Raptors from the Air Force while the Decepticon was distracted. However, the helicopter noticed the laze painted on his arm and turned to attack, and with the cover blown, the soldiers provided covering fire for Lennox, who attacked the Decepticon on a motorcycle as the F-22s fired the missiles. With their nemesis dead, the soldiers moved in to take out Megatron. The Decepticon leader, single-minded about the AllSpark, was overwhelmed by the combined efforts of the soldiers and the Air Force, and was finally defeated when Sam rammed the AllSpark into Megatron's chest, killing him. In the aftermath, Burke and the soldiers were thanked by their new alien allies for their valuable help in the battle. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
In the aftermath of Mission City, Lennox's men and the Autobot [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] went around hunting the [[AllSpark Mutation]]s that had been created during Sam's escape from Megatron. They had already eliminated four of the violent creatures when the Rangers chased [[Xbox 360 robot|one]] into a van, which Ironhide then blew up as they were closing in. The Autobot informed Lennox he wanted to show the humans what ''real'' firepower was, but apologised for not considering their proximity to the target. With the threat taken care of, the Rangers found an abandoned trailer to be used as a funeral bier for Jazz, the Autobot who had given his life to protect the soldiers. As Ironhide silently regarded his friend, the Rangers lowered their heads in respect.

Soon, the Autobots had to leave as Sector Seven's clean up crew was approaching. Lennox and Epps attempted to deflect Agent Simmons' attentions, but Simmons actually wanted them to work for the clandestine group, knowing their knowledge of the Transformers and the coming conflict Earth would inevitably be embroiled with. To everybody's surprise, Lennox accepted. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

{{factions|NEST}}
:''NEST is a military organization from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film series]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:NEST insignia.png|right|300px|thumb|Moooooooove out, soldier!]]

Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers (NEST)''' was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[United Kingdom]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon]]s. Under the classified [[Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act]], the Autobots share intelligence and personnel with the US, but not their advanced weaponry.

NEST is given marching orders from the [[Pentagon]], specifically the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ([[Morshower]] in 2008-9). Despite this and its American origins, it expanded early on to include armed forces from other nations such as the [[United Kingdom]] and is allowed access to [[China|foreign territory]].

{{bigquote|A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Alliance3_NEST_rollout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hey, that's my line!]]

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 (Movie)|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 [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]: the mission was successful although Lennox was criticized for allowing the Autobots to transform on the Golden Gate Bridge. NEST expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]: [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] and [[Overcast (Movie)|Overcast]] were destroyed in Europe, while [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] were defeated in [[Florida]]. NEST's victories were tempered with the ultimate sacrifice, such as when [[Salani]] died battling [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]]. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] came 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}}
{{-}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
As [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was spotted in [[Zambia]], gaining control over local rebel groups by using his internal synthesizers to create [[gold]] coins, NEST was deployed to the Zambezi River to battle [[Dropkick]], [[Macerator]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. [[Beachbreak]] was killed by Starscream while helping Optimus Prime not fall to his death at Victoria Falls. Starscream's Decepticons attempted to destroy a series of dams, but Prime killed Macerator, while Payload was drowned when the humans entered the dam and opened the flood gates.

Epps, Russian scientist [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] went to [[Peru]], while Lennox, [[Kaminari Ishihara]], Prime, Ironhide, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] arrived in the Western [[Australia]]n Outback. Epps' team fought off [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], while Lennox's group encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]] and [[Trample]]. Before dying, Kickback revealed he was part of a Decepticon faction not under Starscream's command, which were trying to gather enough energy to revive Megatron.

At Diego Garcia, [[crab spy|a small crab]] Decepticon infiltrated the base and hacked into the NEST computers before sneaking back into the sea. Despite the break-in, the NEST team continued their usual business, hunting another [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in [[Italy|Rome]]. Unexpectedly, Starscream challenged Prime to single combat inside the Coliseum. There, Prime fell through a trap door to a subway tunnel extension and into a strong set of restraints arranged by Italian criminal [[Bruno Carrera]] - who was promised rule of Europe once Starscream conquered Earth - where he was attacked by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. The humans rescued Prime though, and Barricade and Starscream fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

NEST have a centralised [[NEST Server]]. Target coordinates so any nearby forces can get the necessary data. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

NEST have a secret base in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, [[California]], which both monitors for Decepticons and possesses a rapid-reaction strike team for missions on US soil. Ironhide was the commanding officer there, with Sergeant [[Dundee]] as the strike team's leader. At least five people monitor and handle the computer side of things, and like the Diego Garcia base, they work on a raised platform on wheels. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} A Regional Command base exists in [[Wyoming]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} A second California base is at Andrews Air Force Base {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}, and an armoury is hidden in the [[Texas|Alamo]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

An overseas base, labelled as forward operations, exists in [[United Kingdom|Scotland's]] Orkney Islands, overseen by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. It contains a training facility for Autobots, but does not appear heavily staffed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} Another overseas base, a prison for captured Decepticons, was located in Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} A NEST Ops base for [[Canada]] is located in [[CFB Comox]], Vancouver Island {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and a north [[Russia|Russian]] base is located in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

Optimus was absent for a while, off in [[Australia]] on NEST business. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

The California NEST team went to [[Las Vegas]] to intercept and capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. They came close, disabling him with electrified cables and almost anchoring him to the ground, only for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to muck it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, when the twins were at Diego Garcia, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was captured in Australia. Optimus Prime returned to Diego Garcia with this prisoner, but Sideways was freed when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] attacked the island. Since the villain shouldn't have gotten that close without being spotted (there's an ocean in the way!), it was clear NEST's security had been compromised. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Later, the Wyoming base detected the battle between the twins and [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Titan9_NESTdiversion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|There is nothing to see here. Honest.]]

Even later than that, after that whole [[The Fallen|Fallen]] thing (see below), NEST attempted to lure [[Reverb (ROTF)|a motorbike Decepticon]] out of traffic in [[Los Angeles]] and into a trap. Unfortunately, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] fubar-ed the mission and while the target was captured, the damage was extensive. This made [[Theodore Galloway]] ''very'' happy, as it was a new excuse to get NEST shut down.

Two days after that, NEST's Watch-Seven called for help from Andrews Air Force Base, reporting an unknown Cybertronian attacker and requesting back-up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Some time after, NEST forces responded to an attempted break-in at the Alamo armoury. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] would go on to cause a jailbreak in South Africa, overpowering the Autobot guards; NEST had to let Bludgeon's Decepticons leave to prevent civilian deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} Following his escape, NEST forces have seen action against his militia and unrelated Decepticons in Canada, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}, the North Atlantic {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}, Egypt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}, and [[Peru]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}. After they were seen to retreat in South Africa, however, NEST's standing has been low in the eyes of the world. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

An ongoing NEST mission is to locate all the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area. In reality, the Autobot-human military alliance was hunting the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months, with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret war. Unfortunately, the Decepticons, Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated by Sideswipe and Optimus Prime. Returning to their base at Diego Garcia, Lennox and Optimus met [[Theodore Galloway]], who was appointed their new Director by the [[President of the United States]], and held a video conference with General [[Morshower]]. Galloway noted President [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s serious concerns at the destruction during the Shanghai battle, and voiced his opinion that the Decepticons only remained because the Autobots did. Optimus said that if the Autobots were asked to leave, they would do so, but asked Galloway to pass on a message to the President: what if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Little did they know, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was listening in on their conversation, overhearing details such as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], and the last [[AllSpark]] fragment in storage at Diego Garcia. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was deployed to steal the fragment, which [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] used to revive their leader. The reborn Megatron went after [[Sam Witwicky]], and Optimus Prime died protecting him. Following Optimus' death, the Decepticons arrived in greater numbers during bolder attacks under the leadership of Megatron's master, [[The Fallen]], with the promise of more if the humans did not turn Sam over to the Decepticons. Galloway ordered the termination of NEST and that the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia.

But [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox, revealing he had travelled to [[Egypt]] with Sam to unravel the Decepticons' plot, and that they should bring Optimus Prime's body, as the boy had a plan to resurrect him. Lennox managed to get the information to General Morshower, who managed to arrange assets to be positioned accordingly. During their supposed flight to Diego Garcia, Lennox had the pilots divert to Egypt and then fake engine trouble so Galloway would be forced to parachute off the plane, so they could land outside the [[pyramid]]s instead. Once they set up, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] performed a flyby and released an [[electromagnetic pulse]], disabling communications, while Soundwave knocked out the [[United States military]] satellite coverage. Once communications were out, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack, with a small force landing to engage NEST.

Suspecting something was wrong, Morshower ordered a UAV deployed to observe what was going on, while Simmons was able to use a radio from a [[Jordan]]ian helicopter to request backup from the nearby [[United States Navy#U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74)|U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> battle group]]. Once the UAV confirmed the battle was going on, Morshower deployed all available assets to the region. On the ground, NEST fought a desperate struggle to hold off the Decepticons, until Sam arrived with the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Once again in contact with the military, Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike, which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces. Megatron survived the strike, and killed Sam, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] managed to revive him, and he restored Optimus to life. With the Autobot leader functioning again, NEST watched as he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and subsequently defeated The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
{{Cleanup|August 2011|This should all be in past tense}}
NEST arrives in an abandoned facility called Chernobyl to investigate an alien technology. Little did they know that [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] was leading them to a trap, and as they journey deeper in the facility, they were ambushed by [[Shockwave]] and [[Driller]]. The Decepticons were then overpowered by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobots]]. Returning to their secret base, disguised as a "Health and Human services", where they now train most of the Autobots in the NEST team. They meet [[Charlotte Mearing|Director Charlotte Mearing]], who interrogates Optimus, who seems to be in a "bad mood" due to humans not telling the Autobots about the concealed technology for the past few years. She appoints two of NASA's founding associates and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] and explains the true event of the space race, explaining that there was a crashlanded spacecraft that landed on the moon, and NASA decided to investigate the ship, which made them realize, that they were not alone in this universe. Optimus then explains that the spacecraft is called "[[Ark (DOTM)|The Ark]]" and he has watched it escape Cybertron during the war. He also claims that it carries a technology that would have won the Autobots the war, and the captain, [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]. Optimus explains that he must get to the spacecraft and pray that it is in time.

As the Autobots: Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] arrive on the moon, they search for the Ark. As they enter the Ark, they find Sentinel, and Ratchet realizes that Sentinel sacrificed himself, to guard the Pillars, the technology which would have won the Autobots the war on Cybertron. Optimus then brings Sentinel home. Meanwhile, as [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Carly Spencer]] escape from Sam's office from Laserbeak, they were confronted by NEST guards, claiming that they are in the wrong facility. Sam persists, and calls [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from one of the guard's radios. Bumblebee emerges and the guards give Sam the clearance to go in the facility. Sam gives the information about the "moon program, assassinations, and the dark side of the moon" to Lennox, but as Director Mearing sees Sam and Carly walk in, she doubts Sam, and cannot entrust National Security to "teenagers".

Meanwhile, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel, whom when he is awaken, believes that Optimus is an enemy, and attacks him, but he realizes that they are his fellow Autobots. Optimus explains that the war is lost, and that he only saved only five of his Pillars, while there were hundreds. Sentinel then explains to the NEST forces that the Pillars are devices that are used for transportation, which in this case, is for transporting refuges, he also explains that if the Pillars are in the hands of the Decepticons, it would mean the end of "[[Earth|your world]]."

As Sam and Carly are in Mearing's office, Sam asks if there is any way to contribute to the Autobots and NEST, but she refuses, as only soldiers and trained officers can work with NEST, as if she allows Sam to contribute, it will break her chain of command, she claims that Sam is a "messenger". So she appoints Sam under the protection of Bumblebee.

As Sam,and [[Seymour Simmons]] and his assistant, [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] realize that the Decepticons raided the Ark, took the Pillars and left five Pillars. Sam explains to Mearing that the whole thing was set up, and that the Decepticons were coming for Sentinel Prime. As a battle in the highway raged, and the Autobots returned to the NEST headquarters, they realized that Sentinel Prime had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race and it's home. Sentinel then kills [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his Cosmic Rust-Cannon, and Ironhide then disintegrates. Sentinel destroys the headquarters, while Mearing asks Sentinel what he was doing, and he claims that "he is a Prime, and the he doesn't take orders from humans". The NEST forces realize that Sentinel is too strong to be engaged, and that they have to retreat to the [[Pentagon]], with Sentinel taking all the Pillars, realizing that they have to hunt Sentinel down.

Back in the Pentagon, the NEST forces receive an encrypted audio code, which was Sentinel asking to renounce the Autobot rebels, and they will leave Earth unharmed and unspoiled. So the NEST forces have no choice but to exile the Autobots, using a ship called the ''Xantium''. Sam meets [[Robert Epps]], a former NEST soldier at the rocket facility. As the Autobots exile the planet, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacks the ship, presumably killing the Autobots.

Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from [[Dylan Gould]], a human agent of the Decepticons, saying that they would make sure that the Autobots will go without a fight. Using the phone call, Sam uses Dylan's phone number to track Dylan, with the help of Dutch. Dutch tracks the phone, and triangulates it to the Trump Tower in Chiacgo. Sam will have to go inside the tower, and rescue Carly, but Epps decides to help him, as Gould has killed his friends also. Epps picks up most of his former NEST soldiers, and they go to Chicago, which is now infested with Decepticons and became a barren wasteland, as they were attacked by the Decepticon fighters, Optimus and the Autobots rescued them from the attack.

Meanwhile, Lennox and his wingsuiting party decide to wingsuit in the building to destroy the Control Pillar at one of the skyscrapers. As they fly in to Chicago, they wingsuit in but Starscream attacks them, and several Decepticon fighters also attack the wingsuiters. The remaining wingsuiters land in one of the buildings, while Epps and his party snipe out the Decepticon's eyes, leaving them blind, and the ground forces plant charges on the Decepticons, and shoot them down. They manage to badly wound [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and kill [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and some Decepticons. They also call in tomahawks to shoot down the Decepticon fighters, which were wounding Optimus, and gave Optimus cover as he fights Sentinel Prime. When the battle was finished, Lennox calls Sam so he could be reunited with Carly, and the NEST forces were also reunited. Presumably, Epps and his remaining NEST party returns to work at NEST. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*What NEST stands for was not mentioned in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Different meanings were given by different sources. Lately, Hasbro have favored "Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers" by including it in their online glossary as part of [[Vector Sigma]]'s [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/nest Vector Sigma's glossary entry on NEST.]</ref> Even more recently, though, movie comic author [[John Barber]] has consistently used "Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty" in his ''[[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' projects.

* 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.

* The native population of [[Diego Garcia]] were [[Wikipedia:Depopulation_of_Diego_Garcia|''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. [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_Emergency_Support_Team|The Nuclear Emergency Support Team]]. Of course, it could just be a cover for joint operations with alien robots. Toxic spill, indeed...

* The [[United Kingdom]], [[South Africa]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]], and [[Russia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} have contributed tech guys, soldiers, and bases; China, Egypt, [[Australia]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}, Argentina {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}, [[Peru]], [[Italy]], and [[Zambia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} ''may'' be part of it, or may just be allowing NEST to enter their territory.

* While the spin-off media presents NEST as a multinational force and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' does show them operating abroad and with foreign soldiers, in the film itself NEST is presented as being under the ''direct'' control of the United States of America. (That can't make China and Russia happy...)

* The ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline's [[Size class|Voyager class]] Ironhide toy features a different NEST symbol on his alt-mode doors; a white Autobot symbol wearing a red beret set within a United Nations-styled logo, with 'special program' written underneath. Meanwhile, Scout class [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] features a NEST symbol with the Autobot sigil and a downward pointing broadsword (from a NEST special forces patch) replacing the cow's skull. [[Fast Action Battlers]] Ironhide has the same sword symbol as Dune Runner. Yet more toys have the globe-and-Autobot insignia shown above. NEST must have a lot of bored designers on staff.
** These alternate logos don't usually appear in the fiction. Exceptions include the Global Alliance logo on [[CFB Comox]] in a Titan comic.

[[Image:NEST insignia.png|right|300px|thumb|Moooooooove out, soldier!]]

Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers (NEST)''' was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[United Kingdom]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon]]s. Under the classified [[Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act]], the Autobots share intelligence and personnel with the US, but not their advanced weaponry.

NEST is given marching orders from the [[Pentagon]], specifically the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ([[Morshower]] in 2008-9). Despite this and its American origins, it expanded early on to include armed forces from other nations such as the [[United Kingdom]] and is allowed access to [[China|foreign territory]].

{{bigquote|A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Alliance3_NEST_rollout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hey, that's my line!]]

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 (Movie)|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 [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]: the mission was successful although Lennox was criticized for allowing the Autobots to transform on the Golden Gate Bridge. NEST expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]: [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] and [[Overcast (Movie)|Overcast]] were destroyed in Europe, while [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] were defeated in [[Florida]]. NEST's victories were tempered with the ultimate sacrifice, such as when [[Salani]] died battling [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]]. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] came 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}}
{{-}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
As [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was spotted in [[Zambia]], gaining control over local rebel groups by using his internal synthesizers to create [[gold]] coins, NEST was deployed to the Zambezi River to battle [[Dropkick]], [[Macerator]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. [[Beachbreak]] was killed by Starscream while helping Optimus Prime not fall to his death at Victoria Falls. Starscream's Decepticons attempted to destroy a series of dams, but Prime killed Macerator, while Payload was drowned when the humans entered the dam and opened the flood gates.

Epps, Russian scientist [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] went to [[Peru]], while Lennox, [[Kaminari Ishihara]], Prime, Ironhide, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] arrived in the Western [[Australia]]n Outback. Epps' team fought off [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], while Lennox's group encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]] and [[Trample]]. Before dying, Kickback revealed he was part of a Decepticon faction not under Starscream's command, which were trying to gather enough energy to revive Megatron.

At Diego Garcia, [[crab spy|a small crab]] Decepticon infiltrated the base and hacked into the NEST computers before sneaking back into the sea. Despite the break-in, the NEST team continued their usual business, hunting another [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in [[Italy|Rome]]. Unexpectedly, Starscream challenged Prime to single combat inside the Coliseum. There, Prime fell through a trap door to a subway tunnel extension and into a strong set of restraints arranged by Italian criminal [[Bruno Carrera]] - who was promised rule of Europe once Starscream conquered Earth - where he was attacked by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. The humans rescued Prime though, and Barricade and Starscream fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===
[[Image:Titan3_NESTedwardsairbase.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Where were we in the film? We were... redecorating. Yes.]]

NEST have a centralised [[NEST Server]]. Target coordinates so any nearby forces can get the necessary data. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

NEST have a secret base in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, [[California]], which both monitors for Decepticons and possesses a rapid-reaction strike team for missions on US soil. Ironhide was the commanding officer there, with Sergeant [[Dundee]] as the strike team's leader. At least five people monitor and handle the computer side of things, and like the Diego Garcia base, they work on a raised platform on wheels. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} A Regional Command base exists in [[Wyoming]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} A second California base is at Andrews Air Force Base {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}, and an armoury is hidden in the [[Texas|Alamo]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

An overseas base, labelled as forward operations, exists in [[United Kingdom|Scotland's]] Orkney Islands, overseen by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. It contains a training facility for Autobots, but does not appear heavily staffed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} Another overseas base, a prison for captured Decepticons, was located in Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} A NEST Ops base for [[Canada]] is located in [[CFB Comox]], Vancouver Island {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and a north [[Russia|Russian]] base is located in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

Optimus was absent for a while, off in [[Australia]] on NEST business. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

The California NEST team went to [[Las Vegas]] to intercept and capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. They came close, disabling him with electrified cables and almost anchoring him to the ground, only for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to muck it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, when the twins were at Diego Garcia, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was captured in Australia. Optimus Prime returned to Diego Garcia with this prisoner, but Sideways was freed when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] attacked the island. Since the villain shouldn't have gotten that close without being spotted (there's an ocean in the way!), it was clear NEST's security had been compromised. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Later, the Wyoming base detected the battle between the twins and [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Titan9_NESTdiversion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|There is nothing to see here. Honest.]]

Even later than that, after that whole [[The Fallen|Fallen]] thing (see below), NEST attempted to lure [[Reverb (ROTF)|a motorbike Decepticon]] out of traffic in [[Los Angeles]] and into a trap. Unfortunately, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] fubar-ed the mission and while the target was captured, the damage was extensive. This made [[Theodore Galloway]] ''very'' happy, as it was a new excuse to get NEST shut down.

Two days after that, NEST's Watch-Seven called for help from Andrews Air Force Base, reporting an unknown Cybertronian attacker and requesting back-up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Some time after, NEST forces responded to an attempted break-in at the Alamo armoury. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] would go on to cause a jailbreak in South Africa, overpowering the Autobot guards; NEST had to let Bludgeon's Decepticons leave to prevent civilian deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} Following his escape, NEST forces have seen action against his militia and unrelated Decepticons in Canada, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}, the North Atlantic {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}, Egypt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}, and [[Peru]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}. After they were seen to retreat in South Africa, however, NEST's standing has been low in the eyes of the world. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

An ongoing NEST mission is to locate all the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area. In reality, the Autobot-human military alliance was hunting the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months, with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret war. Unfortunately, the Decepticons, Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated by Sideswipe and Optimus Prime. Returning to their base at Diego Garcia, Lennox and Optimus met [[Theodore Galloway]], who was appointed their new Director by the [[President of the United States]], and held a video conference with General [[Morshower]]. Galloway noted President [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s serious concerns at the destruction during the Shanghai battle, and voiced his opinion that the Decepticons only remained because the Autobots did. Optimus said that if the Autobots were asked to leave, they would do so, but asked Galloway to pass on a message to the President: what if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Little did they know, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was listening in on their conversation, overhearing details such as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], and the last [[AllSpark]] fragment in storage at Diego Garcia. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was deployed to steal the fragment, which [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] used to revive their leader. The reborn Megatron went after [[Sam Witwicky]], and Optimus Prime died protecting him. Following Optimus' death, the Decepticons arrived in greater numbers during bolder attacks under the leadership of Megatron's master, [[The Fallen]], with the promise of more if the humans did not turn Sam over to the Decepticons. Galloway ordered the termination of NEST and that the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia.

But [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox, revealing he had travelled to [[Egypt]] with Sam to unravel the Decepticons' plot, and that they should bring Optimus Prime's body, as the boy had a plan to resurrect him. Lennox managed to get the information to General Morshower, who managed to arrange assets to be positioned accordingly. During their supposed flight to Diego Garcia, Lennox had the pilots divert to Egypt and then fake engine trouble so Galloway would be forced to parachute off the plane, so they could land outside the [[pyramid]]s instead. Once they set up, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] performed a flyby and released an [[electromagnetic pulse]], disabling communications, while Soundwave knocked out the [[United States military]] satellite coverage. Once communications were out, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack, with a small force landing to engage NEST.

Suspecting something was wrong, Morshower ordered a UAV deployed to observe what was going on, while Simmons was able to use a radio from a [[Jordan]]ian helicopter to request backup from the nearby [[United States Navy#U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74)|U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> battle group]]. Once the UAV confirmed the battle was going on, Morshower deployed all available assets to the region. On the ground, NEST fought a desperate struggle to hold off the Decepticons, until Sam arrived with the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Once again in contact with the military, Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike, which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces. Megatron survived the strike, and killed Sam, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] managed to revive him, and he restored Optimus to life. With the Autobot leader functioning again, NEST watched as he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and subsequently defeated The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

{{Cleanup|August 2011|This should all be in past tense}}
NEST arrives in an abandoned facility called Chernobyl to investigate an alien technology. Little did they know that [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] was leading them to a trap, and as they journey deeper in the facility, they were ambushed by [[Shockwave]] and [[Driller]]. The Decepticons were then overpowered by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobots]]. Returning to their secret base, disguised as a "Health and Human services", where they now train most of the Autobots in the NEST team. They meet [[Charlotte Mearing|Director Charlotte Mearing]], who interrogates Optimus, who seems to be in a "bad mood" due to humans not telling the Autobots about the concealed technology for the past few years. She appoints two of NASA's founding associates and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] and explains the true event of the space race, explaining that there was a crashlanded spacecraft that landed on the moon, and NASA decided to investigate the ship, which made them realize, that they were not alone in this universe. Optimus then explains that the spacecraft is called "[[Ark (DOTM)|The Ark]]" and he has watched it escape Cybertron during the war. He also claims that it carries a technology that would have won the Autobots the war, and the captain, [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]. Optimus explains that he must get to the spacecraft and pray that it is in time.

As the Autobots: Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] arrive on the moon, they search for the Ark. As they enter the Ark, they find Sentinel, and Ratchet realizes that Sentinel sacrificed himself, to guard the Pillars, the technology which would have won the Autobots the war on Cybertron. Optimus then brings Sentinel home. Meanwhile, as [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Carly Spencer]] escape from Sam's office from Laserbeak, they were confronted by NEST guards, claiming that they are in the wrong facility. Sam persists, and calls [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from one of the guard's radios. Bumblebee emerges and the guards give Sam the clearance to go in the facility. Sam gives the information about the "moon program, assassinations, and the dark side of the moon" to Lennox, but as Director Mearing sees Sam and Carly walk in, she doubts Sam, and cannot entrust National Security to "teenagers".

Meanwhile, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel, whom when he is awaken, believes that Optimus is an enemy, and attacks him, but he realizes that they are his fellow Autobots. Optimus explains that the war is lost, and that he only saved only five of his Pillars, while there were hundreds. Sentinel then explains to the NEST forces that the Pillars are devices that are used for transportation, which in this case, is for transporting refuges, he also explains that if the Pillars are in the hands of the Decepticons, it would mean the end of "[[Earth|your world]]."

As Sam and Carly are in Mearing's office, Sam asks if there is any way to contribute to the Autobots and NEST, but she refuses, as only soldiers and trained officers can work with NEST, as if she allows Sam to contribute, it will break her chain of command, she claims that Sam is a "messenger". So she appoints Sam under the protection of Bumblebee.

As Sam,and [[Seymour Simmons]] and his assistant, [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] realize that the Decepticons raided the Ark, took the Pillars and left five Pillars. Sam explains to Mearing that the whole thing was set up, and that the Decepticons were coming for Sentinel Prime. As a battle in the highway raged, and the Autobots returned to the NEST headquarters, they realized that Sentinel Prime had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race and it's home. Sentinel then kills [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his Cosmic Rust-Cannon, and Ironhide then disintegrates. Sentinel destroys the headquarters, while Mearing asks Sentinel what he was doing, and he claims that "he is a Prime, and the he doesn't take orders from humans". The NEST forces realize that Sentinel is too strong to be engaged, and that they have to retreat to the [[Pentagon]], with Sentinel taking all the Pillars, realizing that they have to hunt Sentinel down.

Back in the Pentagon, the NEST forces receive an encrypted audio code, which was Sentinel asking to renounce the Autobot rebels, and they will leave Earth unharmed and unspoiled. So the NEST forces have no choice but to exile the Autobots, using a ship called the ''Xantium''. Sam meets [[Robert Epps]], a former NEST soldier at the rocket facility. As the Autobots exile the planet, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacks the ship, presumably killing the Autobots.

Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from [[Dylan Gould]], a human agent of the Decepticons, saying that they would make sure that the Autobots will go without a fight. Using the phone call, Sam uses Dylan's phone number to track Dylan, with the help of Dutch. Dutch tracks the phone, and triangulates it to the Trump Tower in Chiacgo. Sam will have to go inside the tower, and rescue Carly, but Epps decides to help him, as Gould has killed his friends also. Epps picks up most of his former NEST soldiers, and they go to Chicago, which is now infested with Decepticons and became a barren wasteland, as they were attacked by the Decepticon fighters, Optimus and the Autobots rescued them from the attack.

Meanwhile, Lennox and his wingsuiting party decide to wingsuit in the building to destroy the Control Pillar at one of the skyscrapers. As they fly in to Chicago, they wingsuit in but Starscream attacks them, and several Decepticon fighters also attack the wingsuiters. The remaining wingsuiters land in one of the buildings, while Epps and his party snipe out the Decepticon's eyes, leaving them blind, and the ground forces plant charges on the Decepticons, and shoot them down. They manage to badly wound [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and kill [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and some Decepticons. They also call in tomahawks to shoot down the Decepticon fighters, which were wounding Optimus, and gave Optimus cover as he fights Sentinel Prime. When the battle was finished, Lennox calls Sam so he could be reunited with Carly, and the NEST forces were also reunited. Presumably, Epps and his remaining NEST party returns to work at NEST. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*What NEST stands for was not mentioned in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Different meanings were given by different sources. Lately, Hasbro have favored "Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers" by including it in their online glossary as part of [[Vector Sigma]]'s [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/nest Vector Sigma's glossary entry on NEST.]</ref> Even more recently, though, movie comic author [[John Barber]] has consistently used "Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty" in his ''[[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' projects.

* 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.

* The native population of [[Diego Garcia]] were [[Wikipedia:Depopulation_of_Diego_Garcia|''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. [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_Emergency_Support_Team|The Nuclear Emergency Support Team]]. Of course, it could just be a cover for joint operations with alien robots. Toxic spill, indeed...

* The [[United Kingdom]], [[South Africa]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]], and [[Russia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} have contributed tech guys, soldiers, and bases; China, Egypt, [[Australia]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}, Argentina {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}, [[Peru]], [[Italy]], and [[Zambia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} ''may'' be part of it, or may just be allowing NEST to enter their territory.

* While the spin-off media presents NEST as a multinational force and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' does show them operating abroad and with foreign soldiers, in the film itself NEST is presented as being under the ''direct'' control of the United States of America. (That can't make China and Russia happy...)

* The ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline's [[Size class|Voyager class]] Ironhide toy features a different NEST symbol on his alt-mode doors; a white Autobot symbol wearing a red beret set within a United Nations-styled logo, with 'special program' written underneath. Meanwhile, Scout class [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] features a NEST symbol with the Autobot sigil and a downward pointing broadsword (from a NEST special forces patch) replacing the cow's skull. [[Fast Action Battlers]] Ironhide has the same sword symbol as Dune Runner. Yet more toys have the globe-and-Autobot insignia shown above. NEST must have a lot of bored designers on staff.
** These alternate logos don't usually appear in the fiction. Exceptions include the Global Alliance logo on [[CFB Comox]] in a Titan comic.

'''Hardcore Eddie''' is one of [[Robert Epps|Epps]]'s former [[NEST]] teammates. Despite having previously been a member of NEST, he feels he didn't sign up to be shot at by aliens.

==Fiction==

:''Actor:'' [[Lester Speight]]
On their way to [[Chicago]], Epps and [[Sam Witwicky]] stopped by Eddie's house to pick him up. When they arrived on the outskirts of Chicago and saw the devastation caused by the Decepticons, Eddie announced he wasn't going in there. Moments later they were attacked by a [[Orbital Assault Carrier|Decepticon fighter]], only for the newly-arrived [[Autobot]]s to shoot it down. While Sam and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] took the fighter, Epps's team headed into the city with the Autobots. They encountered Sam and Bumblebee again after the pair rescued Sam's girlfriend [[Carly Spencer|Carly]], and the team covered Epps and the two civilians as they communicated over a downed military drone.

[[Image: DOTM Eddie aims rocket launcher.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
With the Autobots' help, Epps and his men entered a skyscraper so they could attempt to get a shot off at the control [[Pillar]] on a downtown building. While [[Hooch]] loaded the rocket launcher and Eddie was lining up the shot, Decepticons began shooting at the skyscraper they were in, making it unstable. Though Eddie considered the whole endeavor a bad idea, Sam talked him into trying to take the shot. He didn't get the chance, as the skyscraper started going over. After a Decepticon jumped into the building, Eddie threw a chair out as a distraction, and they all jumped out of other side of the building and slid down the windows. They managed to get to a lower floor, but were still trapped as the [[Driller]] attacked the building, and Eddie implored [[Jesus]] to let him get out of it alive. Evidently his prayers were heard as the team made it out to the next building safely.

As they ran through Chicago, Sam and Carly became separated from the rest of the team. Epps's team ducked into a ruined church, where Epps noticed the pair were missing and yelled at Eddie. Eddie protested he hadn't signed up for being shot at by aliens. They went out to find Sam and Carly, only to discover that the two civilians had found [[William Lennox|Colonel Lennox]]. Crossing a bridge so they could get a better shot, they ran into [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and fired at him from from the relative safety of a building until [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] arrived to finish the Decepticon off. Following the defeat of the Decepticons, Epps and Eddie bumped their fists together while Optimus gave a speech. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

:''NEST is a military organization from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film series]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:NEST insignia.png|right|300px|thumb|Moooooooove out, soldier!]]

Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers (NEST)''' was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[United Kingdom]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon]]s. Under the classified [[Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act]], the Autobots share intelligence and personnel with the US, but not their advanced weaponry.

NEST is given marching orders from the [[Pentagon]], specifically the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ([[Morshower]] in 2008-9). Despite this and its American origins, it expanded early on to include armed forces from other nations such as the [[United Kingdom]] and is allowed access to [[China|foreign territory]].

{{bigquote|A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Alliance3_NEST_rollout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hey, that's my line!]]

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 (Movie)|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 [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]: the mission was successful although Lennox was criticized for allowing the Autobots to transform on the Golden Gate Bridge. NEST expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]: [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] and [[Overcast (Movie)|Overcast]] were destroyed in Europe, while [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] were defeated in [[Florida]]. NEST's victories were tempered with the ultimate sacrifice, such as when [[Salani]] died battling [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]]. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] came 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}}
{{-}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
As [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was spotted in [[Zambia]], gaining control over local rebel groups by using his internal synthesizers to create [[gold]] coins, NEST was deployed to the Zambezi River to battle [[Dropkick]], [[Macerator]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. [[Beachbreak]] was killed by Starscream while helping Optimus Prime not fall to his death at Victoria Falls. Starscream's Decepticons attempted to destroy a series of dams, but Prime killed Macerator, while Payload was drowned when the humans entered the dam and opened the flood gates.

Epps, Russian scientist [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] went to [[Peru]], while Lennox, [[Kaminari Ishihara]], Prime, Ironhide, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] arrived in the Western [[Australia]]n Outback. Epps' team fought off [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], while Lennox's group encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]] and [[Trample]]. Before dying, Kickback revealed he was part of a Decepticon faction not under Starscream's command, which were trying to gather enough energy to revive Megatron.

At Diego Garcia, [[crab spy|a small crab]] Decepticon infiltrated the base and hacked into the NEST computers before sneaking back into the sea. Despite the break-in, the NEST team continued their usual business, hunting another [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in [[Italy|Rome]]. Unexpectedly, Starscream challenged Prime to single combat inside the Coliseum. There, Prime fell through a trap door to a subway tunnel extension and into a strong set of restraints arranged by Italian criminal [[Bruno Carrera]] - who was promised rule of Europe once Starscream conquered Earth - where he was attacked by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. The humans rescued Prime though, and Barricade and Starscream fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===

NEST have a centralised [[NEST Server]]. Target coordinates so any nearby forces can get the necessary data. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

NEST have a secret base in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, [[California]], which both monitors for Decepticons and possesses a rapid-reaction strike team for missions on US soil. Ironhide was the commanding officer there, with Sergeant [[Dundee]] as the strike team's leader. At least five people monitor and handle the computer side of things, and like the Diego Garcia base, they work on a raised platform on wheels. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} A Regional Command base exists in [[Wyoming]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} A second California base is at Andrews Air Force Base {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}, and an armoury is hidden in the [[Texas|Alamo]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

An overseas base, labelled as forward operations, exists in [[United Kingdom|Scotland's]] Orkney Islands, overseen by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. It contains a training facility for Autobots, but does not appear heavily staffed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} Another overseas base, a prison for captured Decepticons, was located in Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} A NEST Ops base for [[Canada]] is located in [[CFB Comox]], Vancouver Island {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and a north [[Russia|Russian]] base is located in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

Optimus was absent for a while, off in [[Australia]] on NEST business. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

The California NEST team went to [[Las Vegas]] to intercept and capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. They came close, disabling him with electrified cables and almost anchoring him to the ground, only for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to muck it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, when the twins were at Diego Garcia, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was captured in Australia. Optimus Prime returned to Diego Garcia with this prisoner, but Sideways was freed when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] attacked the island. Since the villain shouldn't have gotten that close without being spotted (there's an ocean in the way!), it was clear NEST's security had been compromised. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Later, the Wyoming base detected the battle between the twins and [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Titan9_NESTdiversion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|There is nothing to see here. Honest.]]

Even later than that, after that whole [[The Fallen|Fallen]] thing (see below), NEST attempted to lure [[Reverb (ROTF)|a motorbike Decepticon]] out of traffic in [[Los Angeles]] and into a trap. Unfortunately, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] fubar-ed the mission and while the target was captured, the damage was extensive. This made [[Theodore Galloway]] ''very'' happy, as it was a new excuse to get NEST shut down.

Two days after that, NEST's Watch-Seven called for help from Andrews Air Force Base, reporting an unknown Cybertronian attacker and requesting back-up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Some time after, NEST forces responded to an attempted break-in at the Alamo armoury. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] would go on to cause a jailbreak in South Africa, overpowering the Autobot guards; NEST had to let Bludgeon's Decepticons leave to prevent civilian deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} Following his escape, NEST forces have seen action against his militia and unrelated Decepticons in Canada, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}, the North Atlantic {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}, Egypt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}, and [[Peru]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}. After they were seen to retreat in South Africa, however, NEST's standing has been low in the eyes of the world. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

An ongoing NEST mission is to locate all the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area. In reality, the Autobot-human military alliance was hunting the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months, with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret war. Unfortunately, the Decepticons, Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated by Sideswipe and Optimus Prime. Returning to their base at Diego Garcia, Lennox and Optimus met [[Theodore Galloway]], who was appointed their new Director by the [[President of the United States]], and held a video conference with General [[Morshower]]. Galloway noted President [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s serious concerns at the destruction during the Shanghai battle, and voiced his opinion that the Decepticons only remained because the Autobots did. Optimus said that if the Autobots were asked to leave, they would do so, but asked Galloway to pass on a message to the President: what if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Little did they know, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was listening in on their conversation, overhearing details such as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], and the last [[AllSpark]] fragment in storage at Diego Garcia. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was deployed to steal the fragment, which [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] used to revive their leader. The reborn Megatron went after [[Sam Witwicky]], and Optimus Prime died protecting him. Following Optimus' death, the Decepticons arrived in greater numbers during bolder attacks under the leadership of Megatron's master, [[The Fallen]], with the promise of more if the humans did not turn Sam over to the Decepticons. Galloway ordered the termination of NEST and that the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia.

But [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox, revealing he had travelled to [[Egypt]] with Sam to unravel the Decepticons' plot, and that they should bring Optimus Prime's body, as the boy had a plan to resurrect him. Lennox managed to get the information to General Morshower, who managed to arrange assets to be positioned accordingly. During their supposed flight to Diego Garcia, Lennox had the pilots divert to Egypt and then fake engine trouble so Galloway would be forced to parachute off the plane, so they could land outside the [[pyramid]]s instead. Once they set up, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] performed a flyby and released an [[electromagnetic pulse]], disabling communications, while Soundwave knocked out the [[United States military]] satellite coverage. Once communications were out, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack, with a small force landing to engage NEST.

Suspecting something was wrong, Morshower ordered a UAV deployed to observe what was going on, while Simmons was able to use a radio from a [[Jordan]]ian helicopter to request backup from the nearby [[United States Navy#U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74)|U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> battle group]]. Once the UAV confirmed the battle was going on, Morshower deployed all available assets to the region. On the ground, NEST fought a desperate struggle to hold off the Decepticons, until Sam arrived with the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Once again in contact with the military, Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike, which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces. Megatron survived the strike, and killed Sam, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] managed to revive him, and he restored Optimus to life. With the Autobot leader functioning again, NEST watched as he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and subsequently defeated The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
{{Cleanup|August 2011|This should all be in past tense}}
NEST arrives in an abandoned facility called Chernobyl to investigate an alien technology. Little did they know that [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] was leading them to a trap, and as they journey deeper in the facility, they were ambushed by [[Shockwave]] and [[Driller]]. The Decepticons were then overpowered by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobots]]. Returning to their secret base, disguised as a "Health and Human services", where they now train most of the Autobots in the NEST team. They meet [[Charlotte Mearing|Director Charlotte Mearing]], who interrogates Optimus, who seems to be in a "bad mood" due to humans not telling the Autobots about the concealed technology for the past few years. She appoints two of NASA's founding associates and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] and explains the true event of the space race, explaining that there was a crashlanded spacecraft that landed on the moon, and NASA decided to investigate the ship, which made them realize, that they were not alone in this universe. Optimus then explains that the spacecraft is called "[[Ark (DOTM)|The Ark]]" and he has watched it escape Cybertron during the war. He also claims that it carries a technology that would have won the Autobots the war, and the captain, [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]. Optimus explains that he must get to the spacecraft and pray that it is in time.

As the Autobots: Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] arrive on the moon, they search for the Ark. As they enter the Ark, they find Sentinel, and Ratchet realizes that Sentinel sacrificed himself, to guard the Pillars, the technology which would have won the Autobots the war on Cybertron. Optimus then brings Sentinel home. Meanwhile, as [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Carly Spencer]] escape from Sam's office from Laserbeak, they were confronted by NEST guards, claiming that they are in the wrong facility. Sam persists, and calls [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from one of the guard's radios. Bumblebee emerges and the guards give Sam the clearance to go in the facility. Sam gives the information about the "moon program, assassinations, and the dark side of the moon" to Lennox, but as Director Mearing sees Sam and Carly walk in, she doubts Sam, and cannot entrust National Security to "teenagers".

Meanwhile, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel, whom when he is awaken, believes that Optimus is an enemy, and attacks him, but he realizes that they are his fellow Autobots. Optimus explains that the war is lost, and that he only saved only five of his Pillars, while there were hundreds. Sentinel then explains to the NEST forces that the Pillars are devices that are used for transportation, which in this case, is for transporting refuges, he also explains that if the Pillars are in the hands of the Decepticons, it would mean the end of "[[Earth|your world]]."

As Sam and Carly are in Mearing's office, Sam asks if there is any way to contribute to the Autobots and NEST, but she refuses, as only soldiers and trained officers can work with NEST, as if she allows Sam to contribute, it will break her chain of command, she claims that Sam is a "messenger". So she appoints Sam under the protection of Bumblebee.

As Sam,and [[Seymour Simmons]] and his assistant, [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] realize that the Decepticons raided the Ark, took the Pillars and left five Pillars. Sam explains to Mearing that the whole thing was set up, and that the Decepticons were coming for Sentinel Prime. As a battle in the highway raged, and the Autobots returned to the NEST headquarters, they realized that Sentinel Prime had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race and it's home. Sentinel then kills [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his Cosmic Rust-Cannon, and Ironhide then disintegrates. Sentinel destroys the headquarters, while Mearing asks Sentinel what he was doing, and he claims that "he is a Prime, and the he doesn't take orders from humans". The NEST forces realize that Sentinel is too strong to be engaged, and that they have to retreat to the [[Pentagon]], with Sentinel taking all the Pillars, realizing that they have to hunt Sentinel down.

Back in the Pentagon, the NEST forces receive an encrypted audio code, which was Sentinel asking to renounce the Autobot rebels, and they will leave Earth unharmed and unspoiled. So the NEST forces have no choice but to exile the Autobots, using a ship called the ''Xantium''. Sam meets [[Robert Epps]], a former NEST soldier at the rocket facility. As the Autobots exile the planet, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacks the ship, presumably killing the Autobots.

Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from [[Dylan Gould]], a human agent of the Decepticons, saying that they would make sure that the Autobots will go without a fight. Using the phone call, Sam uses Dylan's phone number to track Dylan, with the help of Dutch. Dutch tracks the phone, and triangulates it to the Trump Tower in Chiacgo. Sam will have to go inside the tower, and rescue Carly, but Epps decides to help him, as Gould has killed his friends also. Epps picks up most of his former NEST soldiers, and they go to Chicago, which is now infested with Decepticons and became a barren wasteland, as they were attacked by the Decepticon fighters, Optimus and the Autobots rescued them from the attack.

Meanwhile, Lennox and his wingsuiting party decide to wingsuit in the building to destroy the Control Pillar at one of the skyscrapers. As they fly in to Chicago, they wingsuit in but Starscream attacks them, and several Decepticon fighters also attack the wingsuiters. The remaining wingsuiters land in one of the buildings, while Epps and his party snipe out the Decepticon's eyes, leaving them blind, and the ground forces plant charges on the Decepticons, and shoot them down. They manage to badly wound [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and kill [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and some Decepticons. They also call in tomahawks to shoot down the Decepticon fighters, which were wounding Optimus, and gave Optimus cover as he fights Sentinel Prime. When the battle was finished, Lennox calls Sam so he could be reunited with Carly, and the NEST forces were also reunited. Presumably, Epps and his remaining NEST party returns to work at NEST. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*What NEST stands for was not mentioned in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Different meanings were given by different sources. Lately, Hasbro have favored "Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers" by including it in their online glossary as part of [[Vector Sigma]]'s [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/nest Vector Sigma's glossary entry on NEST.]</ref> Even more recently, though, movie comic author [[John Barber]] has consistently used "Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty" in his ''[[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' projects.
**'''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers'''<ref>TakaraTomy's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/products/movie2/images/nest.swf tie-in website]</ref> ''{{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}''
**'''Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty''' ''{{storylink|The Last Prime}}''
**'''Non-biological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty''' ''{{storylink|Transformers Classified: Switching Gears}}''
**'''Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Team''' <ref>[http://www.lgnest.com/ LG promotional tie-in website]</ref>

* 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.

* The native population of [[Diego Garcia]] were [[Wikipedia:Depopulation_of_Diego_Garcia|''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. [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_Emergency_Support_Team|The Nuclear Emergency Support Team]]. Of course, it could just be a cover for joint operations with alien robots. Toxic spill, indeed...

* The [[United Kingdom]], [[South Africa]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]], and [[Russia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} have contributed tech guys, soldiers, and bases; China, Egypt, [[Australia]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}, Argentina {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}, [[Peru]], [[Italy]], and [[Zambia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} ''may'' be part of it, or may just be allowing NEST to enter their territory.

* While the spin-off media presents NEST as a multinational force and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' does show them operating abroad and with foreign soldiers, in the film itself NEST is presented as being under the ''direct'' control of the United States of America. (That can't make China and Russia happy...)

* The ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline's [[Size class|Voyager class]] Ironhide toy features a different NEST symbol on his alt-mode doors; a white Autobot symbol wearing a red beret set within a United Nations-styled logo, with 'special program' written underneath. Meanwhile, Scout class [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] features a NEST symbol with the Autobot sigil and a downward pointing broadsword (from a NEST special forces patch) replacing the cow's skull. [[Fast Action Battlers]] Ironhide has the same sword symbol as Dune Runner. Yet more toys have the globe-and-Autobot insignia shown above. NEST must have a lot of bored designers on staff.
** These alternate logos don't usually appear in the fiction. Exceptions include the Global Alliance logo on [[CFB Comox]] in a Titan comic.

*The Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes figures included in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] lineup are entirely new sculpts compared to the figures from the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' assortment. They're slightly smaller and thus in line with the Lennox figure available with Jazz, who is also smaller than Sideswipe's Epps. The DOTM Human Alliance toys also have the smaller human figures, so it appears this will be the new standard.
*Although the smaller triple-changers are referred to as Basic figures, a tag previously given to the Scout size class or the one between Legends and Scouts, most of the figures are on par with the smaller DOTM Deluxes. The exception is Tailpipe, who is Scout-sized, due to the inclusion of Pinpointer.

*The Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes figures included in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] lineup are entirely new sculpts compared to the figures from the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' assortment. They're slightly smaller and thus in line with the Lennox figure available with Jazz, who is also smaller than Sideswipe's Epps. The DOTM Human Alliance toys also have the smaller human figures, so it appears this will be the new standard.
*Although the smaller triple-changers are referred to as Basic figures, a tag previously given to the Scout size class or the one between Legends and Scouts, most of the figures are on par with the smaller DOTM Deluxes. The exception is Tailpipe, who is Scout-sized, due to the inclusion of Pinpointer.

An example of a [[mechanimal]] re-engineered to serve [[Transformer]]s, '''Laserbeak''' serves the Decepticons primarily as a scout and spy for [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. But that doesn't mean he isn't capable of other tasks, such as hunting down targets for capture, be they [[human]] or [[Autobot]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/laserbeak Vector Sigma database at Hasbro.com]</ref>

Perhaps the most useful of his abilities is to transform into almost any type of alternate mode, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|even those who aren't alternate modes]].

==Fiction==
===''Convergence''===
Laserbeak crewed the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' with Soundwave and his other minions. He informed Soundwave the energy reading they detected was growing stronger and more distinct as they approached: it was the [[AllSpark]]. When [[Ark (DOTM)|another ship]] crashed into the ''Nemesis'', Laserbeak bit [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]]'s leg, preventing her from falling into space as the bridge decompressed. Laserbeak then searched their records for the ship's identity, but found nothing, though he noticed the ship appeared damaged.

Soundwave parked the ''Nemesis'' on a dead ringed world, and took his crew aboard the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' to follow the ship via the [[space bridge|wormhole]] it left behind. As they emerged in the far future, they witnessed the ship crash on to the [[moon (moon)|moon]] below, orbiting the [[Earth|planet]] containing the AllSpark's energon signature. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

The [[human|lifeforms]] of the native planet soon explored the ship, which contained [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. Laserbeak was sent to ''persuade'' the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] scientist Dr. [[Voskhod]] to pull the plug on their manned mission in [[1972]]. In [[1979]], Soundwave and Laserbeak met with their American contact [[Gould]]—whose creative accounting prevented further trips to the moon—for the last time, as well as Gould's son [[Dylan Gould|Dylan]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

With the [[Star Harvester]] destroyed, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] sought to revive Sentinel. Voskhod's nephew [[Alexi Voskhod|Alexi]] led [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[NEST]] to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]], where they would find an Ark fuel cell. Laserbeak watched, silently intimidating Voskhod when he was about to say too much about their mission. [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and the [[Driller]] attacked the NEST forces, and the Autobots retrieved the fuel cell, unaware that the whole thing had been a set up. The mission completed, Laserbeak killed Voskhod as he tried to drive away in his white limo, sarcastically telling his corpse it had been a pleasure to work with him.

[[Image:Laserbeakconfirms.jpg|right|thumb|250px|No. I am NOT Batman.]]

Laserbeak soon arrived in [[Africa]], shooting up a vulture as he descended to perch on Soundwave's hand. He reported to Megatron of the success of the Chernobyl mission, which had in turn led to Optimus retrieving Sentinel from the moon. He was then ordered to kill all of the Decepticons's human collaborators. During one of his attacks, he shape-shifted into a small pink version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] (albeit with some parts missing), and met a little girl, who presumably mistook him as the friendly robot. When her parents came in, Laserbeak transformed into his normal self and killed her father.

[[Image:DOTM-Laserbee.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Does this mean that I can get a billion toys made of me too?]]

Laserbeak's "favourite" contact [[Jerry Wang]] was next, who had passed on articles pertaining to the assassinations and cover-ups to fellow employee [[Sam Witwicky]]. Laserbeak confronted Wang at his office, ordering him to do some saboutage work relating to the moon. When Sam came into Wang's office asking about the notes he had been given, Laserbeak forced Wang to send him away. He then demanded to know what he had told Sam. Wang feigned despair, saying he would do anything, but was able to surprise the sadistic Decepticon by pulling out two guns. However Laserbeak quickly disarmed him with his tail and "suicided" Wang by swinging him out the window, sending him falling to his death. Laserbeak took disguise as a photo copier and waited for Sam to come closer, but an employee trying to use him forced Laserbeak into action, chasing Sam through the office. Unfortunately he was not very nimble in the cramped spaces, and Sam managed to escape when Laserbeak clipped his wing.

Laserbeak reappeared with Soundwave after Sam and [[Carly Spencer]] had realised that the one human ally that they did not kill, [[Dylan Gould]], was working for the Decepticons in place of his father before him. Laserbeak perched himself on a fountain and watched as Dylan and Soundwave forced Sam into agreeing to find out the Autobot's plans.

Laserbeak later participated in the invasion of the city of Chicago, and waited for Sentinel to activate his [[space bridge]] [[Pillar]]s in Dylan's penthouse. When Sam was arrived to rescue Carly, Laserbeak transformed out of his CD player mode and grabbed Sam with his talons and threw him out of the window. But Sam was saved by Bumblebee and his newly acquired [[Orbital Assault Carrier|Decepticon fighter]]. Laserbeak tried knocking a military drone into the fighter to jam its engines, and struggled with Sam on top of the fighter. Sam managed to hold Laserbeak's head in front of one of the fighter's guns and had Bumblebee fire, decapitating and killing Laserbeak. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Commercial appearances==
Laserbeak, in disguise as an office copy machine, got upset when he jammed because the office workers failed to use the good paper. He transformed and shot the place up until a woman went and got Double A paper. He then went back to making copies. {{storylink|Commercial/Dark of the Moon|Double A transforming paper}}

Laserbeak played a vital role during Soundwave's mission to a former [[Sector Seven]] data archive. While Soundwave was able to fight his way to the base, he was unable to break in and so launched Laserbeak to infiltrate it instead.

Armed with a machine gun, the small but vicious Decepticon could not last long in an all-out firefight with the Autobots inside, so it had to rely on stealth. Using its abilities to take the form of holographic items and fixtures within the base, Laserbeak was able to ambush and slay numerous Autobots as it sought a way to allow Soundwave entry.

Throughout the course of this operation, Laserbeak encountered numerous defense drones, autoturrets and Autobots. It also learned that the base, while still containing useful data, was now used as a workshop by the Autobot scientist [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Worse, Wheeljack was working with human scientists to develop [[MechTech]] weaponry.

Realising the threat, Soundwave now changed objectives from data retrieval to outright destruction. As the base was built in a volcano in order to take advantage of geothermal energy, he had Laserbeak damage several of the seismic dampeners that prevented the volcano from erupting. Laserbeak also managed to hack the gates, finally allowing Soundwave to enter the base personally and complete both objectives.

As the base was consumed in flames, Laserbeak flew overhead before landing on its master's arm, screeching in victory. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Laserbeak transforms from a VTOL aircraft (similar to the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] Sigma 6'' Dragonhawk vehicle) to a Cybertronian bird/dragon thing. There are a total of eight MechTech weapon holes, from the top and bottom of both wings, to the bottom of both feet, as well as above and below the cockpit in vehicle mode. The red upper portion of his propellers can also be spun.

:The two weapons included have Gatling-style barrels, with one gun being static while the other having a MechTech swapping feature. Pulling the lever on the latter will make the barrel repeatedly spin forward to eventually reveal a second, different cannon barrel. The static gun can plug into the back of the MechTech gun to create a giant cannon. Both guns also include a [[C joint]] bar on top.

:The beast mode's mouth can open, and the heels are actually 5mm pegs. Along with the peg-holes on the soles of his feet, this allows the toy to perch on the arm of any toy with the compatible holes or pegs. The cockpit/helmet of the vehicle mode has a stylized bird head painted on both sides.

:The instructions show a different head than the final toy, with a more realistic looking bird head. The instructions also fail to mention that the black plastic flap on his tail can be swiveled over and pegged onto a small grey tab on the tail's base, covering up his tail in vehicle mode and making him look just a bit more convincing as an aircraft, as shown in the stock photos. Care should be taken however, as the small tab is prone to stress marks and may eventually snap off.

:The red paint application on the larger weapon as shown on the packaging was left off on the actual toy.

Laserbeak confronted Wang at his office, ordering him to do some saboutage work relating to the moon. When Sam came into Wang's office asking about the notes he had been given, Laserbeak forced Wang to send him away. He then demanded to know what he had told Sam. Wang feigned despair, saying he would do anything, but was able to surprise the sadistic Decepticon by pulling out two guns. However Laserbeak quickly disarmed him with his tail and "suicided" Wang by swinging him out the window, sending him falling to his death. Laserbeak took disguise as a photo copier and waited for Sam to come closer, but an employee trying to use him forced Laserbeak into action, chasing Sam through the office. Unfortunately he was not very nimble in the cramped spaces, and Sam managed to escape when Laserbeak clipped his wing.

Laserbeak reappeared with Soundwave after Sam and [[Carly Spencer]] had realised that the one human ally that they did not kill, [[Dylan Gould]], was working for the Decepticons in place of his father before him. Laserbeak perched himself on a fountain and watched as Dylan and Soundwave forced Sam into agreeing to find out the Autobot's plans.

Laserbeak later participated in the invasion of the city of Chicago, and waited for Sentinel to activate his [[space bridge]] [[Pillar]]s in Dylan's penthouse. When Sam was arrived to rescue Carly, Laserbeak transformed out of his CD player mode and grabbed Sam with his talons and threw him out of the window. But Sam was saved by Bumblebee and his newly acquired [[Orbital Assault Carrier|Decepticon fighter]]. Laserbeak tried knocking a military drone into the fighter to jam its engines, and struggled with Sam on top of the fighter. Sam managed to hold Laserbeak's head in front of one of the fighter's guns and had Bumblebee fire, decapitating and killing Laserbeak. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Commercial appearances==
Laserbeak, in disguise as an office copy machine, got upset when he jammed because the office workers failed to use the good paper. He transformed and shot the place up until a woman went and got Double A paper. He then went back to making copies. {{storylink|Commercial/Dark of the Moon|Double A transforming paper}}

Laserbeak played a vital role during Soundwave's mission to a former [[Sector Seven]] data archive. While Soundwave was able to fight his way to the base, he was unable to break in and so launched Laserbeak to infiltrate it instead.

Armed with a machine gun, the small but vicious Decepticon could not last long in an all-out firefight with the Autobots inside, so it had to rely on stealth. Using its abilities to take the form of holographic items and fixtures within the base, Laserbeak was able to ambush and slay numerous Autobots as it sought a way to allow Soundwave entry.

Throughout the course of this operation, Laserbeak encountered numerous defense drones, autoturrets and Autobots. It also learned that the base, while still containing useful data, was now used as a workshop by the Autobot scientist [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Worse, Wheeljack was working with human scientists to develop [[MechTech]] weaponry.

Realising the threat, Soundwave now changed objectives from data retrieval to outright destruction. As the base was built in a volcano in order to take advantage of geothermal energy, he had Laserbeak damage several of the seismic dampeners that prevented the volcano from erupting. Laserbeak also managed to hack the gates, finally allowing Soundwave to enter the base personally and complete both objectives.

As the base was consumed in flames, Laserbeak flew overhead before landing on its master's arm, screeching in victory. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

*'''Laserbeak''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD07'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Cannon A, Cybertronian Cannon B

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Laserbeak transforms from a VTOL aircraft (similar to the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] Sigma 6'' Dragonhawk vehicle) to a Cybertronian bird/dragon thing. There are a total of eight MechTech weapon holes, from the top and bottom of both wings, to the bottom of both feet, as well as above and below the cockpit in vehicle mode. The red upper portion of his propellers can also be spun.

:The two weapons included have Gatling-style barrels, with one gun being static while the other having a MechTech swapping feature. Pulling the lever on the latter will make the barrel repeatedly spin forward to eventually reveal a second, different cannon barrel. The static gun can plug into the back of the MechTech gun to create a giant cannon. Both guns also include a [[C joint]] bar on top.

:The beast mode's mouth can open, and the heels are actually 5mm pegs. Along with the peg-holes on the soles of his feet, this allows the toy to perch on the arm of any toy with the compatible holes or pegs. The cockpit/helmet of the vehicle mode has a stylized bird head painted on both sides.

:The instructions show a different head than the final toy, with a more realistic looking bird head. The instructions also fail to mention that the black plastic flap on his tail can be swiveled over and pegged onto a small grey tab on the tail's base, covering up his tail in vehicle mode and making him look just a bit more convincing as an aircraft, as shown in the stock photos. Care should be taken however, as the small tab is prone to stress marks and may eventually snap off.

:The red paint application on the larger weapon as shown on the packaging was left off on the actual toy.

==Notes==
*Laserbeak was in an early draft of ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559 Mowry's Profile - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref>
*[[Scorponok (Movie)|Previous]] [[Ravage (ROTF)|beast-like robots]] didn't talk because the production team thought it would be "weird". Apparently, they changed their minds when it came Laserbeak's turn.
*Alternate modes that Laserbeak has been known to assume include a hover jet, a photocopier/printer, an LCD television screen, a wall-mounted CD player, and a child sized, fuchsia Bumblebee.
*[http://www.warrenmanser.com/WarrenManser.com/PORTFOLIO_M/Pages/TRANSFORMERS_3.html#20 According to some concept art], he was supposed to transform from what looks like an electronic plush penguin to a penguin/condor/dragon-hybrid robot with VTOL wings. The robot mode is both ridiculous and freaky.
*Surprisingly, his Vector Sigma database claims he has no vehicle modes, despite also having a picture of him in vehicle mode. Someone clearly didn't pay attention to [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|the]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|merchandise]].
*Though it is implied that Laserbeak was the one torturing [[Jerry Wang]] as an evil computer and mouse, when Sam leaves the room Laserbeak transforms from the television on the other side of the office while the mouse that had been clamped around Jerry's hand just stays on the desk.

'''MechTech''' is a subsection of the ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toyline]].

It includes the Deluxe, Voyager, Leader and Ultimate class, and some of the Human Alliance toys. Its main gimmick revolves around huge transformable weapons that attach to both vehicle and robot mode and other MechTech weapons via [[5mm post]]s. Unlike previous attachable weapons the MechTech system utilizes retractable pegs to fill in the holes when not in use.

The working name for this line was "CyberTech" (With the [[Cyberverse]] line being dubbed Megaverse), and it could be seen on receipts for toys purchased at retailers, in the name of some exclusive products on retailer web sites, and on the shipping cases for the products themselves. The reason for the change is unknown.

MechTech is revealed to be highly advanced [[Cybertronian]] technology created for use by [[Human]]s during the alliance between the [[Autobot]]s and [[NEST]]. A large cache of such weaponry was destroyed by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] who had infiltrated a former [[Sector Seven]] facility used by NEST that was located inside a volcano that served as a testing lab for [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Remaining samples of MechTech were later placed in transit to Human armies situated in the Middle East. Learning of this, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] dispatched [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to intercept the shipment as he could not allow the Humans to be armed with such technology. Starscream in turn managed to intercept [[Stratosphere]] where he destroyed the Autobot and the MechTech located within him though had taken a sample back to Megatron's headquarters with the intention of creating a countermeasure. However, an angered Megatron destroyed the sample and attacked Starscream for this act as he knew the MechTech had a tracking beacon which allowed a strike force of Autobots to assault the [[Decepticon]] lair. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

However, an angered Megatron destroyed the sample and attacked Starscream for this act as he knew the MechTech had a tracking beacon which allowed a strike force of Autobots to assault the [[Decepticon]] lair. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

== Notes ==
*According to [[Josh Nizzi]]'s designs, the MechTech gear was supposed to appear on film: Sentinel Prime's "cosmic rust gun" was apparently another form for his shield (and no, it's not the same blaster as the Leader toy). <ref>[http://joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi's Dark of the Moon concept art]</ref>

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)

2011-11-01T21:45:30Z

98.250.192.131: /* Deluxe */

{{Nav-dotm}}
The '''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''''' toyline coincides with the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] film in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]]. The line is divided into three brandings: the [[MechTech]] line for Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Ultimate and [[Human Alliance]] class size toys; the [[Cyberverse]] subline featuring [[Legends Class]] characters, Commander Class (new price point, effectively replacing Scouts) and play sets; and [[Robo Power]], a catch all line for various merchandise including role play.

The figures also come in ''3'' [[transformation (toys)| transformation]] difficulty levels, changed from the original 5 in the [[Transformers: Generations|''Generations'']] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toylines.

MechTech

2011-10-23T15:00:39Z

98.250.192.131: /* Toys */

{{Nav-dotm}}
'''MechTech''' is a subsection of the ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toyline]].

It includes the Deluxe, Voyager, Leader and Ultimate class, and some of the Human Alliance toys. Its main gimmick revolves around huge transformable weapons that attach to both vehicle and robot mode and other MechTech weapons via [[5mm post]]s. Unlike previous attachable weapons the MechTech system utilizes retractable pegs to fill in the holes when not in use.

The working name for this line was "CyberTech" (With the [[Cyberverse]] line being dubbed Megaverse), and it could be seen on receipts for toys purchased at retailers, in the name of some exclusive products on retailer web sites, and on the shipping cases for the products themselves. The reason for the change is unknown.

==Games==
===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' - The Game===
MechTech is revealed to be highly advanced [[Cybertronian]] technology created for use by [[Human]]s during the alliance between the [[Autobot]]s and [[NEST]]. A large cache of such weaponry was destroyed by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] who had infiltrated a former [[Sector Seven]] facility used by NEST that was located inside a volcano that served as a testing lab for [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Remaining samples of MechTech were later placed in transit to Human armies situated in the Middle East. Learning of this, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] dispatched [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to intercept the shipment as he could not allow the Humans to be armed with such technology. Starscream in turn managed to intercept [[Stratosphere]] where he destroyed the Autobot and the MechTech located within him though had taken a sample back to Megatron's headquarters with the intention of creating a countermeasure. However, an angered Megatron destroyed the sample and attacked Starscream for this act as he knew the MechTech had a tracking beacon which allowed a strike force of Autobots to assault the [[Decepticon]] lair. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

*According to [[Josh Nizzi]]'s designs, the MechTech gear was supposed to appear on film: Sentinel Prime's "cosmic rust gun" was apparently another form for his shield (and no, it's not the same blaster as the Leader toy). <ref>[http://joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi's Dark of the Moon concept art]</ref>

[[Image:OnlyAtWalmart.jpg|right|300px]]

'''Walmart''' (previously parsed as "Wal-Mart" until 2008) is one of the biggest discount department store chains in the United States, with branches in many other countries.

Over the years, they have carried a lot of [[exclusive]] ''Transformers'' [[toy]]s, in addition to the regular mass retail releases.

Walmart employees are also often accused of not really caring about what they sell in addition to a lax return policy, making Walmart one of the main victims of [[toy swapping]].

Walmart is also the parent company of [[Sam's Club]].

Longarm (Movie)

{{factions|autobotfilm|decepticonfilm|NEST}}
{{disambig3|Longarm}}
:''Longarm is an [[Autobot]] and a mass-produced drone-unit from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] of the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Longarm-gamedrone.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Stop draggin' my, stop draggin' my, stop draggin' my car arouuuund!]]
'''Longarm''' is a chummy, nice, all around guy. "It never hurts to help" is his creed, and he enjoys working on protecting, repairing, and saving. After all, that's why he's an Autobot. He's almost too nice... he just can't figure out [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] at all. To be that [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|angry]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|mean]], [[Starscream (Movie)|treacherous]], [[Megatron (Movie)|destructive]], or [[Dropkick|emo]], it all just seems like a huge waste of energy and time. But so long as he can protect his friends, and make them smile, then he can smile right back.

There's also units of drones that convert into tow-trucks of the same name. Both the Autobot and Decepticon armies make use of these drones, which are solid, dependable fighters, and can be particularly dangerous.

==Fiction==
===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
{{note|The following events occur in an alternate timeline/continuity where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.}}
In an alternate reality where the Decepticons conquered Earth, Longarm was part of the Autobot reinforcements. He understandably thought they were a wee bit doomed, unsure of how they were expected to defeat the vast Decepticon legions. {{storylink|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} Nevertheless, he joined the others in landing on Earth, but in the battle at Savannah, Georgia, he was gunned down by the [[Payload (Movie)|drone hordes]]. {{storylink|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} His unmoving body had to be removed from the Decepticon facility by Ironhide. {{storylink|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Once repaired, he joined the other Autobots in constant defensive actions against the Decepticons, including protecting San Diego alongside Ironhide. {{storylink|Dark Spark}}

When the Autobots were fully mobilized to Cybertron to secure [[Nucleon]], Longarm showed he'd developed heavy pessimism after his series of ordeals, grimly stating that it was likely the Nucleon was used up by the Decepticons and Earth was doomed. He was made pilot of the ''[[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]]'', and found out Earth ''was'' doomed when [[Unicron]] teleported into the solar system and shot the Straxus down... {{storylink|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}}

After Earth was not-doomed, Longarm was briefly seen entering the Autobot ship as they were ordered off Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Following the destruction of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[AllSpark]] in [[Mission City]], [[Sector Seven]] took custody of the inactive Longarm and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] during cleanup operations. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 1|Alliance #1}} They were taken to a secret base in the [[Nevada]] desert. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Longarm was a grizzled old veteran from Cybertron who joined the [[Earth]]-bound Autobots and was mentored in integrating with Earthen ways by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. He enjoyed some time outside in his robot mode while hanging out with [[Kaminari Ishihara]] on a [[Diego Garcia]] beach. Left out of the [[Zambia]] mission, Longarm and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] hung out in a parking area, and Longarm tried to cool his younger companion's irritation at being denied action, while using his headlights to play with a feral cat.

The pair got their chance at action later, when they were sent to [[Peru]] with [[Robert Epps|Epps]] and [[Petr Andronov]] to investigate some Decepticon activity. On arrival, Longarm had to physically restrain Knockout while Epps persuaded the smaller Autobot that his choice of holoavatar was inappropriate for the time period. When local [[NEST]] contact [[Pierre Morales]] was worried [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] might be around somewhere, Longarm assured him it was unlikely.

The next day, the NEST team went on the road out of Cuzco and through the Andes, with Longarm taking the rear. Knockout raced ahead briefly and returned with Decepticons in pursuit. Longarm was almost blasted off the side of the mountain, only just catching the side with his finger tips and clambering back up. After saving Epps from a similar fall, he delivered a slap to Knockout and told him off for racing ahead. They were soon set upon by [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]]. Longarm jumped on the larger Decepticon's back and pummeled him, while the rest of the team found themselves fighting [[Blademaster]]. After Blademaster sustained a critical amount of damage and plunged to the ground far below, Ruination threw Longarm against the cliff face and moved in to finish him off, but was stopped by Knockout. Ruination retreated, and Longarm thanked Knockout and apologized for striking him earlier. Knockout, for his part, agreed racing ahead had been a mistake and said it wouldn't happen again. With the two Autobots damaged and the Decepticons unlikely to return, the NEST team drove back to Cuzco.

Longarm was later on the NEST mission to [[Rome]], but didn't take part in any combat, perhaps due to the damage he'd sustained in Peru. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

===Toy bios===
{{notemoviebio}}
Longarm was brought to life by the [[AllSpark]] during the battle of [[Mission City]]. Just minutes old, Longarm, driven by [[Mikaela Banes]], came to the aid of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] who was injured and lost the use of his legs. He drove Bumblebee down the streets of Mission City while Bumblebee continued the battle against the Decepticons. {{storylink|#FinalStand|Final Stand toy bio}}

As one of the "two newest Autobot recruits on Earth", Longarm joined [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] in hunting down [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] and [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]]. While Breakaway fought Rampage, Longarm went after Sideways, chasing him through the streets in vehicle mode. The result of this battle is unknown. {{storylink|#StrikeMission|Autobot Strike Mission toy bio}}

===IDW ''Dark of the Moon'' comics===
Salvage and Longarm, both now sapient Transformers, were on a covert [[NEST]] patrol in [[China]] and broke cover to save lives... only to get killed by the arriving [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1}}

==Games==
===''Battle for the Allspark'' online game===
[[Image:Longarm head.jpg|left|125px|thumb|Longarm units can be either Autobot (top) or Decepticon (bottom)]]
Longarm units have good Attack & Defense capabilities, but little on speed. The two sides' drones are differentiated by little more than the make of their noggins; Autobot versions use a facemask-with-optics model, while Decepticons have a lens-head version. {{Storylink|Battle for the Allspark}}

===''Transformers: The Game''===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Seth Bleiler]] (grunts only)

Longarms are particularly dangerous foes that appear many times against both Autobot and Decepticon. They are capable of swinging the tow-arms on their backs in a wide circle, extending their wrecker-hooks, which results in a devastating slam attack that can send even the larger Transformers sprawling. Since they are also shielded against ''most'' artillery in robot mode, this attack can only be interrupted by hurling something at them.

Aside from the previously mentioned facial differences, Autobot Longarms are white with blue detailing while Decepticon versions are white with yellow detailing. {{Storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
[[Image:Movie_Deluxe_Longarm.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Destined to be done in green and orange.]]
*'''Longarm''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MA-15'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

: Longarm transforms into a Ford F-350 tow truck, capable of towing another toy thanks to his hook-arm. This arm becomes a hand-held "quagma cannon" spring-loaded missile launcher in robot mode that is affixed to his right hand via a screw. The missile launcher can also be used in vehicle mode, as a notch is cut out of the front bumper, presumably for making surprise attacks (since [[Swindle (Movie)|other]] drone characters have similar weapons). There is a single, nigh-insignificant [[automorph]] feature; the emergency lights on top of the gun/tow rig are geared to fold simultaneously. This makes [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout's]] knees almost look interesting.

: Unlike all of the other "drone" toys in the line, Longarm's robot mode is totally different from the CG design developed for the game; even his head resembles neither the Autobot or Decepticon drone heads. And by "totally different," we mean "has ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]]'s head." Longarm's designer, [[Alex Kubalsky]], was forced to make up his own transformation scheme and robot design since Activision's reference materials had not arrived in time. When it eventually did, he altered the chest and arms of his toy design to more closely match the game design. Obviously, he left the head alone.

:The gun is not meant to be removable, but is easily unscrewed. The loose gun won't fit on the right hand without the screw, but will peg into the left hand via the connection used to hold the gun/crane steady in vehicle mode. The figure is still capable of full transformation and the loose crane fits tightly in vehicle mode. It is however difficult to transform him while keeping the loose gun attached to his left hand.

: Longarm features a minor mis-assembly problem, in that the strut between the crane section and the hook itself is reversed. It is easily fixed by carefully popping off the hook and turning it around, then unscrewing the crane part and flipping the strut. This allows the gun to fit together much better, as depicted on the packaging.

:This mold was redecoed into ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]].

*'''Towed to Safety''' (Multi-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

: This set, available in the UK in 2007, features an unaltered Deluxe class Longarm figure and a Deluxe class 1976 Camaro [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] that was also used in the Bumblebee Vs. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] pack.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes with a Longarm figure redecoed in the same paint job as the tow truck [[Mikaela Banes]] uses to tow Bumblebee to safety. The "Orson's Towing" markings have been replaced by the "Mike's Towing" markings seen on the actual truck used in the movie. Longarm's interior features a non-removable figurine of Mikaela where the driver's seat would be, plugged into one of the screw holes in the dashboard piece. The pack comes with a battle-damaged posable Bumblebee figure similar to the Robot Replicas toy.

===3D Battle-Card Game===
[[Image:3DBattleCard_Longarm.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
* '''Longarm''' (3D Battle Card, 2007)
**''Card number:''

: In the [[3D Battle-Card Game]], the Longarm is on the Autobot side, but features the Decepticon-style head. Pieces punched out from two different cards can be assembled to form a tow-truck or a robot, while a third double-sided card gives its stats and attacks for each mode. He uses the same piece layout as [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], just turned around in vehicle mode so the extension is in the back. This layout was also used for [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Classic Bonecrusher]] and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] in the "Energon Wars" expansion.

{{-}}
==Notes==
* Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Longarm, along with the other new characters in the ''[[Transformers The Game]]'' and ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' video games. Christiansen says [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tf1-tow-truck-drone-01.html on his blog] that at the time, he didn't know the tow truck character he was designing for the video game was going to become a toy, and apologises to [[TakaraTomy]] designer [[Alex Kubalsky]], who designed the Longarm toy without any reference images from [[Activision]], the publisher of the ''Transformers'' movie video games.

[[Image:Longarm movie similar.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Do I look familiar?]]
* Longarm's vehicle mode is modeled after the tow truck [[Mikaela Banes]] uses in the movie to carry the damaged Bumblebee into battle. While the markings and paint job are similar, the truck in the film is of GMC make (specifically, an older model of Topkick, similar to Ironhide's alternate mode), while the toy is modeled on a Ford F-350.

* While the movie tow truck has "Mike's Towing" on the doors, the game model and carded release of the Deluxe-class toy have "Orson's Towing" instead, a reference to ''Transformers'' design director [[Aaron Archer]]'s old screen name "ORSON" on the [http://www.tfw2005.com TFW2005.com boards], as confirmed at a [[BotCon]] panel. The Screen Battles multi-pack version returns to "Mike's" markings, however.

*Longarm's first appearance in official fiction (or a bot matching the appearance of his toy) was actually in the [[Movie Prequel issue 2|second issue]] of the ''[[Movie Prequel]]'' comics, which had him fighting in one of the flashback war scenes. Only in this brief cameo, he seemed to be a Decepticon.

*In the [[Rising Storm issue 1|first issue of ''Rising Storm'']], Longarm's head appears to be based on [[Shockwave (Animated)|''Animated'' Longarm's]]. How "ironic" that he was then killed by Shockwave a mere panels later.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)

2011-10-06T00:39:46Z

98.250.192.131: /* Deluxe */

{{Nav-dotm}}
The '''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''''' toyline coincides with the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] film in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]]. The line is divided into three brandings: the [[MechTech]] line for Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Ultimate and [[Human Alliance]] class size toys; the [[Cyberverse]] subline featuring [[Legends Class]] characters, Commander Class (new price point, effectively replacing Scouts) and play sets; and [[Robo Power]], a catch all line for various merchandise including role play.

The figures also come in ''3'' [[transformation (toys)| transformation]] difficulty levels, changed from the original 5 in the [[Transformers: Generations|''Generations'']] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toylines.

Burke

2011-09-26T21:09:48Z

98.250.192.131:

{{factions|NEST}}
:''Burke is a [[human]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie2007_Burke_Ranger3.jpg|thumb|250px|"Hey guys! I get a line of dialogue!"]]

'''Burke''' is a member of the [[United States Army|United States Army Rangers]], under the command of [[William Lennox]]. He is one of [[Qatar Ranger Team|the squad]]'s SAW gunners.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007) movie===
:''Actor:'' [[Brian Shehan]] (English)

[[Image:Tf2007 rangerteam.jpg|thumb|300px|left|]]

Returning back to [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] after a mission, Captain Lennox's men discussed what they were going to do once they got home to the States. As usual, [[Jorge Figueroa|Fig]] talked about his mom's cooking in Spanish, something that amused all of the squad because he had been told numerous times that none of them spoke Spanish. When Lennox told them of his desire to see his baby girl for the first time, Burke and the others joined in on the friendly ribbing over this sappy sentiment.

After getting back to camp, while [[Robert Epps|Epps]] made his way to the basketball court, Burke went to the rudimentary open-air shower and pushed other soldiers aside, to their consternation. Soon after, [[Blackout (Movie)|a mysterious MH-53 Pave Low]] touched down and began disrupting the communication and power supplies of the base. Suddenly, the base was under attack as the helicopter somehow transformed into a giant walking weapons platform. Burke and the others grabbed their gear and ran for their lives as the machine crushed all opposition standing in its way to the communications center. After rescuing local boy [[Mahfouz]] and Epps, the Rangers escaped into the night as the base was leveled.

While the medical teams from the Army sifted through the rubble for survivors and the United States government tried to find answers, the Rangers made their way across the Qatari countryside, unaware that they were [[Scorponok (Movie)|being followed, and being watched]]. Stopping at an abandoned tank to rest, Burke kept an eye on the horizon for hostiles while the others discussed the attack and the images Epps managed to capture. Deciding that the [[Pentagon]] must know their intel, they headed to Mahfouz's village, where a telephone could be found.

[[Image:Movie2007_Scorponok_Donnelly_Burke.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

Arriving on the outskirts, the weary travelers were suddenly attacked by a giant mechanical scorpion. When it managed to kill [[Patrick Donnelly|Donnelly]], the Rangers began a ragged retreat, though Burke kept his nerve and provided covering fire from his M249 Para. As Captain Lennox struggled with a bored and unsympathetic telephone operator, Burke held the line steady and ordered fire directed at the attacker. However, it was soon clear to the Pentagon that the solders were clearly outmatched and ordered assets of the [[United States Air Force]] to attack, which Lennox's Rangers guided in by lazing the target. While they managed to drive the attacker away, Fig paid the price when he was hit by one of the creature's rockets. On the plane trip back to the United States, the Rangers and the R&D team were examining the strange tail left behind by the mechanical scorpion when it suddenly jerked up to life, so Burke and the others had to strap it down to the examination table. Though the battle had been costly, it did provide them with an answer to how to fight back against the mechanical creatures.

[[Image:Movie2007_Burke_S7standoff.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

Upon arrival at [[United States Air Force#Facilities|Nellis Air Force Base]] in [[Nevada]], agents from an unknown government organization hustled the Rangers into SUVs and took them to [[Hoover Dam]], where they reported to [[John Keller|Secretary of Defense Keller]] about the mysterious events of the past few days. Inside the dam, they learned from [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[Tom Banachek]] and, incredibly, some teenage boy named [[Sam Witwicky]] about the reasons for the attacks and the players in it. During a demonstration of the [[AllSpark]] Cube's power, Burke was more curious than frightened by the alien creature created from a cell phone, tapping the glass as it furiously banged into the sides of a armoured box. When the evil [[Decepticon]]s arrived and attacked the dam, the soldiers were led to an arms room where a tense stand off erupted when Simmons refused to let Sam see [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the boy's alien robot car]], which would help the situation. The situation was defused when Keller ordered Simmons to do as the Rangers demanded.

[[Image:Movie2007_MissionCity_Burkecoveringfire.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

After the [[Autobot]] car was freed and the Cube was miraculously shrunken down to a small, hand-held size, Lennox ordered his Rangers and the [[Sector Seven]] troopers to form a perimeter protecting the car and its occupants. Burke was the gunner on Lennox and Epps's command buggy as the convoy headed towards [[Mission City]], where they would attempt to find some sort of off-line communication device that wasn't affected by the worldwide communications blackout. When the Decepticons showed up in Mission City Burke and the Rangers helped [[Ratchet (Movie)|the Autobot rescue vehicle]] take down [[Brawl (Movie)|the tank]], but were then forced to retreat when [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] arrived, with the [[Jazz (Movie)|Pontiac Solstice]] sacrificing his life to cover their escape. After helping evacuate a wounded Sector Seven trooper, Burke watched unhappily as the evil tank got back up, and not only that, but the helicopter that leveled SOCCENT Qatar joined in the battle. Lennox ordered his Rangers to hold the line as Sam escaped with the Cube, in the hopes of removing the alien artifact from the battlefield while the Decepticons were busy. However, the soldiers had their hands full with the tank while most of the Autobots were assigned to protect Sam. Salvation came in the form of the yellow Camaro, who helped them destroy the tank once and for all.

While the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|friendly Autobot leader]] and Megatron fought, Lennox and the soldiers moved in to assist, but were prevented from doing so by that evil helicopter. Lennox and Epps formulated a plan where they would call in the rapidly-arriving F-22 Raptors from the Air Force while the Decepticon was distracted. However, the helicopter noticed the laze painted on his arm and turned to attack, and with the cover blown, the soldiers provided covering fire for Lennox, who attacked the Decepticon on a motorcycle as the F-22s fired the missiles. With their nemesis dead, the soldiers moved in to take out Megatron. The Decepticon leader, single-minded about the AllSpark, was overwhelmed by the combined efforts of the soldiers and the Air Force, and was finally defeated when Sam rammed the AllSpark into Megatron's chest, killing him. In the aftermath, Burke and the soldiers were thanked by their new alien allies for their valuable help in the battle. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

In the aftermath of Mission City, Lennox's men and the Autobot [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] went around hunting the [[AllSpark Mutation]]s that had been created during Sam's escape from Megatron. They had already eliminated four of the violent creatures when the Rangers chased [[ 360 robot|one]] into a van, which Ironhide then blew up as they were closing in. The Autobot informed Lennox he wanted to show the humans what ''real'' firepower was, but apologised for not considering their proximity to the target.

As Ironhide silently regarded his friend, the Rangers lowered their heads in respect.

[[Image:Movie2007_Burke_Ranger3.jpg|thumb|250px|"Hey guys! I get a line of dialogue!"]]

'''Burke''' is a member of the [[United States Army|United States Army Rangers]], under the command of [[William Lennox]]. He is one of [[Qatar Ranger Team|the squad]]'s SAW gunners.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007) movie===
:''Actor:'' [[Brian Shehan]] (English)

[[Image:Tf2007 rangerteam.jpg|thumb|300px|left|]]

Returning back to [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] after a mission, Captain Lennox's men discussed what they were going to do once they got home to the States. As usual, [[Jorge Figueroa|Fig]] talked about his mom's cooking in Spanish, something that amused all of the squad because he had been told numerous times that none of them spoke Spanish. When Lennox told them of his desire to see his baby girl for the first time, Burke and the others joined in on the friendly ribbing over this sappy sentiment.

After getting back to camp, while [[Robert Epps|Epps]] made his way to the basketball court, Burke went to the rudimentary open-air shower and pushed other soldiers aside, to their consternation. Soon after, [[Blackout (Movie)|a mysterious MH-53 Pave Low]] touched down and began disrupting the communication and power supplies of the base. Suddenly, the base was under attack as the helicopter somehow transformed into a giant walking weapons platform. Burke and the others grabbed their gear and ran for their lives as the machine crushed all opposition standing in its way to the communications center. After rescuing local boy [[Mahfouz]] and Epps, the Rangers escaped into the night as the base was leveled.

While the medical teams from the Army sifted through the rubble for survivors and the United States government tried to find answers, the Rangers made their way across the Qatari countryside, unaware that they were [[Scorponok (Movie)|being followed, and being watched]]. Stopping at an abandoned tank to rest, Burke kept an eye on the horizon for hostiles while the others discussed the attack and the images Epps managed to capture. Deciding that the [[Pentagon]] must know their intel, they headed to Mahfouz's village, where a telephone could be found.

[[Image:Movie2007_Scorponok_Donnelly_Burke.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

Arriving on the outskirts, the weary travelers were suddenly attacked by a giant mechanical scorpion. When it managed to kill [[Patrick Donnelly|Donnelly]], the Rangers began a ragged retreat, though Burke kept his nerve and provided covering fire from his M249 Para. As Captain Lennox struggled with a bored and unsympathetic telephone operator, Burke held the line steady and ordered fire directed at the attacker. However, it was soon clear to the Pentagon that the solders were clearly outmatched and ordered assets of the [[United States Air Force]] to attack, which Lennox's Rangers guided in by lazing the target. While they managed to drive the attacker away, Fig paid the price when he was hit by one of the creature's rockets. On the plane trip back to the United States, the Rangers and the R&D team were examining the strange tail left behind by the mechanical scorpion when it suddenly jerked up to life, so Burke and the others had to strap it down to the examination table. Though the battle had been costly, it did provide them with an answer to how to fight back against the mechanical creatures.

[[Image:Movie2007_Burke_S7standoff.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

Upon arrival at [[United States Air Force#Facilities|Nellis Air Force Base]] in [[Nevada]], agents from an unknown government organization hustled the Rangers into SUVs and took them to [[Hoover Dam]], where they reported to [[John Keller|Secretary of Defense Keller]] about the mysterious events of the past few days. Inside the dam, they learned from [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[Tom Banachek]] and, incredibly, some teenage boy named [[Sam Witwicky]] about the reasons for the attacks and the players in it. During a demonstration of the [[AllSpark]] Cube's power, Burke was more curious than frightened by the alien creature created from a cell phone, tapping the glass as it furiously banged into the sides of a armoured box. When the evil [[Decepticon]]s arrived and attacked the dam, the soldiers were led to an arms room where a tense stand off erupted when Simmons refused to let Sam see [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the boy's alien robot car]], which would help the situation. The situation was defused when Keller ordered Simmons to do as the Rangers demanded.

[[Image:Movie2007_MissionCity_Burkecoveringfire.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

After the [[Autobot]] car was freed and the Cube was miraculously shrunken down to a small, hand-held size, Lennox ordered his Rangers and the [[Sector Seven]] troopers to form a perimeter protecting the car and its occupants. Burke was the gunner on Lennox and Epps's command buggy as the convoy headed towards [[Mission City]], where they would attempt to find some sort of off-line communication device that wasn't affected by the worldwide communications blackout.

{{factions|NEST}}
:''NEST is a military organization from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film series]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:NEST insignia.png|right|300px|Moooooooove out, soldier!]]

Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers (NEST)''' was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[United Kingdom]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon]]s. Under the classified Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act, the Autobots share intelligence and personnel with the US but not their advanced weaponry.

NEST is given marching orders from the [[Pentagon]], specifically the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ([[Morshower]] in 2008-9). Despite this and its American origins, it expanded early on to include armed forces from other nations such as the [[United Kingdom]] and is allowed access to [[China|foreign territory]].

{{bigquote|A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Alliance3_NEST_rollout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hey, that's my line!]]

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 (Movie)|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 [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]: the mission was successful although Lennox was criticized for allowing the Autobots to transform on the Golden Gate Bridge. NEST expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]: [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] and [[Overcast (Movie)|Overcast]] were destroyed in Europe, while [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] were defeated in [[Florida]]. NEST's victories were tempered with the ultimate sacrifice, such as when [[Salani]] died battling [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]]. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] came 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}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
As [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was spotted in [[Zambia]], gaining control over local rebel groups by using his internal synthesizers to create [[gold]] coins, NEST was deployed to the Zambezi River to battle [[Dropkick]], [[Macerator]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. [[Beachbreak]] was killed by Starscream while helping Optimus Prime not fall to his death at Victoria Falls. Starscream's Decepticons attempted to destroy a series of dams, but Prime killed Macerator, while Payload was drowned when the humans entered the dam and opened the flood gates.

Epps, Russian scientist [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] went to [[Peru]], while Lennox, [[Kaminari Ishihara]], Prime, Ironhide, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] arrived in the Western [[Australia]]n Outback. Epps' team fought off [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], while Lennox's group encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]] and [[Trample]]. Before dying, Kickback revealed he was part of a Decepticon faction not under Starscream's command, which were trying to gather enough energy to revive Megatron.

At Diego Garcia, [[crab spy|a small crab]] Decepticon infiltrated the base and hacked into the NEST computers before sneaking back into the sea. Despite the break-in, the NEST team continued their usual business, hunting another [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in [[Italy|Rome]]. Unexpectedly, Starscream challenged Prime to single combat inside the Coliseum. There, Prime fell through a trap door to a subway tunnel extension and into a strong set of restraints arranged by Italian criminal [[Bruno Carrera]] - who was promised rule of Europe once Starscream conquered Earth - where he was attacked by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. The humans rescued Prime though, and Barricade and Starscream fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

NEST have a centralised [[NEST Server]]. Target coordinates so any nearby forces can get the necessary data. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

NEST have a secret base in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, [[California]], which both monitors for Decepticons and possesses a rapid-reaction strike team for missions on US soil. Ironhide was the commanding officer there, with Sergeant [[Dundee]] as the strike team's leader. At least five people monitor and handle the computer side of things, and like the Diego Garcia base, they work on a raised platform on wheels. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} A Regional Command base exists in [[Wyoming]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} A second California base is at Andrews Air Force Base {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}, and an armoury is hidden in the [[Texas|Alamo]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

An overseas base, labelled as forward operations, exists in [[United Kingdom|Scotland's]] Orkney Islands, overseen by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. It contains a training facility for Autobots, but does not appear heavily staffed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} Another overseas base, a prison for captured Decepticons, was located in Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} A NEST Ops base for [[Canada]] is located in [[CFB Comox]], Vancouver Island {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and a north [[Russia|Russian]] base is located in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

Optimus was absent for a while, off in [[Australia]] on NEST business. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

The California NEST team went to [[Las Vegas]] to intercept and capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. They came close, disabling him with electrified cables and almost anchoring him to the ground, only for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to muck it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, when the twins were at Diego Garcia, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was captured in Australia. Optimus Prime returned to Diego Garcia with this prisoner, but Sideways was freed when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] attacked the island. Since the villain shouldn't have gotten that close without being spotted (there's an ocean in the way!), it was clear NEST's security had been compromised. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Later, the Wyoming base detected the battle between the twins and [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Titan9_NESTdiversion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|There is nothing to see here. Honest.]]

Even later than that, after that whole [[The Fallen|Fallen]] thing (see below), NEST attempted to lure [[Reverb (ROTF)|a motorbike Decepticon]] out of traffic in [[Los Angeles]] and into a trap. Unfortunately, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] fubar-ed the mission and while the target was captured, the damage was extensive. This made [[Theodore Galloway]] ''very'' happy, as it was a new excuse to get NEST shut down.

Two days after that, NEST's Watch-Seven called for help from Andrews Air Force Base, reporting an unknown Cybertronian attacker and requesting back-up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Some time after, NEST forces responded to an attempted break-in at the Alamo armoury. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] would go on to cause a jailbreak in South Africa, overpowering the Autobot guards; NEST had to let Bludgeon's Decepticons leave to prevent civilian deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} Following his escape, NEST forces have seen action against his militia and unrelated Decepticons in Canada, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}, the North Atlantic {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}, Egypt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}, and [[Peru]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}. After they were seen to retreat in South Africa, however, NEST's standing has been low in the eyes of the world. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area. In reality, the Autobot-human military alliance was hunting the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months, with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret war. Unfortunately, the Decepticons, Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated by Sideswipe and Optimus Prime. Returning to their base at Diego Garcia, Lennox and Optimus met [[Theodore Galloway]], who was appointed their new Director by the [[President of the United States]], and held a video conference with General [[Morshower]]. Galloway noted President [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s serious concerns at the destruction during the Shanghai battle, and voiced his opinion that the Decepticons only remained because the Autobots did. Optimus said that if the Autobots were asked to leave, they would do so, but asked Galloway to pass on a message to the President: what if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Little did they know, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was listening in on their conversation, overhearing details such as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], and the last [[AllSpark]] fragment in storage at Diego Garcia. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was deployed to steal the fragment, which [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] used to revive their leader. The reborn Megatron went after [[Sam Witwicky]], and Optimus Prime died protecting him. Following Optimus' death, the Decepticons arrived in greater numbers during bolder attacks under the leadership of Megatron's master, [[The Fallen]], with the promise of more if the humans did not turn Sam over to the Decepticons. Galloway ordered the termination of NEST and that the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia.

But [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox, revealing he had travelled to [[Egypt]] with Sam to unravel the Decepticons' plot, and that they should bring Optimus Prime's body, as the boy had a plan to resurrect him. Lennox managed to get the information to General Morshower, who managed to arrange assets to be positioned accordingly. During their supposed flight to Diego Garcia, Lennox had the pilots divert to Egypt and then fake engine trouble so Galloway would be forced to parachute off the plane, so they could land outside the [[pyramid]]s instead. Once they set up, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] performed a flyby and released an [[electromagnetic pulse]], disabling communications, while Soundwave knocked out the [[United States military]] satellite coverage. Once communications were out, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack, with a small force landing to engage NEST.

Suspecting something was wrong, Morshower ordered a UAV deployed to observe what was going on, while Simmons was able to use a radio from a [[Jordan]]ian helicopter to request backup from the nearby [[United States Navy#U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74)|U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> battle group]]. Once the UAV confirmed the battle was going on, Morshower deployed all available assets to the region. On the ground, NEST fought a desperate struggle to hold off the Decepticons, until Sam arrived with the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Once again in contact with the military, Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike, which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces. Megatron survived the strike, and killed Sam, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] managed to revive him, and he restored Optimus to life. With the Autobot leader functioning again, NEST watched as he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and subsequently defeated The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
{{Cleanup|August 2011|This should all be in past tense}}
NEST arrives in an abandoned facility called Chernobyl to investigate an alien technology. Little did they know that [[Laserbeak ()|Laserbeak]] was leading them to a trap, and as they journey deeper in the facility, they were ambushed by [[Shockwave]] and [[Driller]]. The Decepticons were then overpowered by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobots]]. Returning to their secret base, disguised as a "Health and Human services", where they now train most of the Autobots in the NEST team. They meet [[Charlotte Mearing|Director Charlotte Mearing]], who interrogates Optimus, who seems to be in a "bad mood" due to humans not telling the Autobots about the concealed technology for the past few years. She appoints two of NASA's founding associates and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] and explains the true event of the space race, explaining that there was a crashlanded spacecraft that landed on the moon, and NASA decided to investigate the ship, which made them realize, that they were not alone in this universe. Optimus then explains that the spacecraft is called "[[Ark (DOTM)|The Ark]]" and he has watched it escape Cybertron during the war. He also claims that it carries a technology that would have won the Autobots the war, and the captain, [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]. Optimus explains that he must get to the spacecraft and pray that it is in time.

As the Autobots: Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] arrive on the moon, they search for the Ark. As they enter the Ark, they find Sentinel, and Ratchet realizes that Sentinel sacrificed himself, to guard the Pillars, the technology which would have won the Autobots the war on Cybertron. Optimus then brings Sentinel home. Meanwhile, as [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Carly Spencer]] escape from Sam's office from Laserbeak, they were confronted by NEST guards, claiming that they are in the wrong facility. Sam persists, and calls [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from one of the guard's radios. Bumblebee emerges and the guards give Sam the clearance to go in the facility. Sam gives the information about the "moon program, assassinations, and the dark side of the moon" to Lennox, but as Director Mearing sees Sam and Carly walk in, she doubts Sam, and cannot entrust National Security to "teenagers".

Meanwhile, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel, whom when he is awaken, believes that Optimus is an enemy, and attacks him, but he realizes that they are his fellow Autobots. Optimus explains that the war is lost, and that he only saved only five of his Pillars, while there were hundreds. Sentinel then explains to the NEST forces that the Pillars are devices that are used for transportation, which in this case, is for transporting refuges, he also explains that if the Pillars are in the hands of the Decepticons, it would mean the end of "[[Earth|your world]]."

As Sam and Carly are in Mearing's office, Sam asks if there is any way to contribute to the Autobots and NEST, but she refuses, as only soldiers and trained officers can work with NEST, as if she allows Sam to contribute, it will break her chain of command, she claims that Sam is a "messenger". So she appoints Sam under the protection of Bumblebee.

As Sam,and [[Seymour Simmons]] and his assistant, [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] realize that the Decepticons raided the Ark, took the Pillars and left five Pillars. Sam explains to Mearing that the whole thing was set up, and that the Decepticons were coming for Sentinel Prime. As a battle in the highway raged, and the Autobots returned to the NEST headquarters, they realized that Sentinel Prime had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race and it's home. Sentinel then kills [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his Cosmic Rust-Cannon, and Ironhide then disintegrates. Sentinel destroys the headquarters, while Mearing asks Sentinel what he was doing, and he claims that "he is a Prime, and the he doesn't take orders from humans". The NEST forces realize that Sentinel is too strong to be engaged, and that they have to retreat to the [[Pentagon]], with Sentinel taking all the Pillars, realizing that they have to hunt Sentinel down.

Back in the Pentagon, the NEST forces receive an encrypted audio code, which was Sentinel asking to renounce the Autobot rebels, and they will leave Earth unharmed and unspoiled. So the NEST forces have no choice but to exile the Autobots, using a ship called the ''Xantium''. Sam meets [[Robert Epps]], a former NEST soldier at the rocket facility. As the Autobots exile the planet, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacks the ship, presumably killing the Autobots.

Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from [[Dylan Gould]], a human agent of the Decepticons, saying that they would make sure that the Autobots will go without a fight. Using the phone call, Sam uses Dylan's phone number to track Dylan, with the help of Dutch. Dutch tracks the phone, and triangulates it to the Trump Tower in Chiacgo. Sam will have to go inside the tower, and rescue Carly, but Epps decides to help him, as Gould has killed his friends also. Epps picks up most of his former NEST soldiers, and they go to Chicago, which is now infested with Decepticons and became a barren wasteland, as they were attacked by the Decepticon fighters, Optimus and the Autobots rescued them from the attack.

Meanwhile, Lennox and his wingsuiting party decide to wingsuit in the building to destroy the Control Pillar at one of the skyscrapers. As they fly in to Chicago, they wingsuit in but Starscream attacks them, and several Decepticon fighters also attack the wingsuiters. The remaining wingsuiters land in one of the buildings, while Epps and his party snipe out the Decepticon's eyes, leaving them blind, and the ground forces plant charges on the Decepticons, and shoot them down. They manage to badly wound [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and kill [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and some Decepticons. They also call in tomahawks to shoot down the Decepticon fighters, which were wounding Optimus, and gave Optimus cover as he fights Sentinel Prime. When the battle was finished, Lennox calls Sam so he could be reunited with Carly, and the NEST forces were also reunited. Presumably, Epps and his remaining NEST party returns to work at NEST. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*What NEST stands for was not mentioned in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Different meanings were given by different sources. Lately, Hasbro have favored "Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers" by including it in their online glossary as part of [[Vector Sigma]]'s [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/nest Vector Sigma's glossary entry on NEST.]</ref> Even more recently, though, movie comic author [[John Barber]] has consistently used "Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty" in his ''[[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' projects.
**'''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers'''<ref>TakaraTomy's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/products/movie2/images/nest.swf tie-in website]</ref> ''{{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}''
**'''Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty''' ''{{storylink|The Last Prime}}''
**'''Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Team''' <ref>[http://www.lgnest.com/ LG promotional tie-in website]</ref>

* 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.

* The native population of [[Diego Garcia]] were [[Wikipedia:Depopulation_of_Diego_Garcia|''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. [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_Emergency_Support_Team|The Nuclear Emergency Support Team]]. Of course, it could just be a cover for joint operations with alien robots. Toxic spill, indeed...

* The [[United Kingdom]], [[South Africa]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]], and [[Russia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} have contributed tech guys, soldiers, and bases; China, Egypt, [[Australia]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}, Argentina {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}, [[Peru]], [[Italy]], and [[Zambia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} ''may'' be part of it, or may just be allowing NEST to enter their territory.

* While the spin-off media presents NEST as a multinational force and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' does show them operating abroad and with foreign soldiers, in the film itself NEST is presented as being under the ''direct'' control of the United States of America. (That can't make China and Russia happy...)

* The ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline's [[Size class|Voyager class]] Ironhide toy features a different NEST symbol on his alt-mode doors; a white Autobot symbol wearing a red beret set within a United Nations-styled logo, with 'special program' written underneath. Meanwhile, Scout class [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] features a NEST symbol with the Autobot sigil and a downward pointing broadsword (from a NEST special forces patch) replacing the cow's skull. [[Fast Action Battlers]] Ironhide has the same sword symbol as Dune Runner. Yet more toys have the globe-and-Autobot insignia shown above. NEST must have a lot of bored designers on staff.
** These alternate logos don't usually appear in the fiction. Exceptions include the Global Alliance logo on [[CFB Comox]] in a Titan comic.

MechTech

2011-09-23T21:50:57Z

98.250.192.131: /* Deluxe */

{{Nav-dotm}}
'''MechTech''' is a subsection of the ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toyline]].

It includes the Deluxe, Voyager, Leader and Ultimate class, and some of the Human Alliance toys. Its main gimmick revolves around huge transformable weapons that attach to both vehicle and robot mode and other MechTech weapons via [[5mm post]]s. Unlike previous attachable weapons the MechTech system utilizes retractable pegs to fill in the holes when not in use.

The working name for this line was "CyberTech" (With the [[Cyberverse]] line being dubbed Megaverse), and it could be seen on receipts for toys purchased at retailers, in the name of some exclusive products on retailer web sites, and on the shipping cases for the products themselves. The reason for the change is unknown.

==Games==
===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' - The Game===
MechTech is revealed to be highly advanced [[Cybertronian]] technology created for use by [[Human]]s during the alliance between the [[Autobot]]s and [[NEST]]. A large cache of such weaponry was destroyed by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] who had infiltrated a former [[Sector Seven]] facility used by NEST that was located inside a volcano that served as a testing lab for [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Remaining samples of MechTech were later placed in transit to Human armies situated in the Middle East. Learning of this, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] dispatched [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to intercept the shipment as he could not allow the Humans to be armed with such technology. Starscream in turn managed to intercept [[Stratosphere]] where he destroyed the Autobot and the MechTech located within him though had taken a sample back to Megatron's headquarters with the intention of creating a countermeasure. However, an angered Megatron destroyed the sample and attacked Starscream for this act as he knew the MechTech had a tracking beacon which allowed a strike force of Autobots to assault the [[Decepticon]] lair. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{Nav-dotm}}
The '''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''''' toyline coincides with the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] film in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]]. The line is divided into three brandings: the [[MechTech]] line for Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Ultimate and [[Human Alliance]] class size toys; the [[Cyberverse]] subline featuring [[Legends Class]] characters, Commander Class (new price point, effectively replacing Scouts) and play sets; and [[Robo Power]], a catch all line for various merchandise including role play.

The figures also come in ''3'' [[transformation (toys)| transformation]] difficulty levels, changed from the original 5 in the [[Transformers: Generations|''Generations'']] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toylines.

MechTech

2011-09-10T14:44:40Z

98.250.192.131: /* Human Alliance */

{{Nav-dotm}}
'''MechTech''' is a subsection of the ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toyline]].

It includes the Deluxe, Voyager, Leader and Ultimate class, and some of the Human Alliance toys. Its main gimmick revolves around huge transformable weapons that attach to both vehicle and robot mode and other MechTech weapons via [[5mm post]]s. Unlike previous attachable weapons the MechTech system utilizes retractable pegs to fill in the holes when not in use.

The working name for this line was "CyberTech" (With the [[Cyberverse]] line being dubbed Megaverse), and it could be seen on receipts for toys purchased at retailers, in the name of some exclusive products on retailer web sites, and on the shipping cases for the products themselves. The reason for the change is unknown.

==Games==
===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' - The Game===
MechTech is revealed to be highly advanced [[Cybertronian]] technology created for use by [[Human]]s during the alliance between the [[Autobot]]s and [[NEST]]. A large cache of such weaponry was destroyed by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] who had infiltrated a former [[Sector Seven]] facility used by NEST that was located inside a volcano that served as a testing lab for [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Remaining samples of MechTech were later placed in transit to Human armies situated in the Middle East. Learning of this, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] dispatched [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to intercept the shipment as he could not allow the Humans to be armed with such technology. Starscream in turn managed to intercept [[Stratosphere]] where he destroyed the Autobot and the MechTech located within him though had taken a sample back to Megatron's headquarters with the intention of creating a countermeasure. However, an angered Megatron destroyed the sample and attacked Starscream for this act as he knew the MechTech had a tracking beacon which allowed a strike force of Autobots to assault the [[Decepticon]] lair. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

MechTech

2011-09-10T14:41:03Z

98.250.192.131: /* Human Alliance */

{{Nav-dotm}}
'''MechTech''' is a subsection of the ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toyline]].

It includes the Deluxe, Voyager, Leader and Ultimate class, and some of the Human Alliance toys. Its main gimmick revolves around huge transformable weapons that attach to both vehicle and robot mode and other MechTech weapons via [[5mm post]]s. Unlike previous attachable weapons the MechTech system utilizes retractable pegs to fill in the holes when not in use.

The working name for this line was "CyberTech" (With the [[Cyberverse]] line being dubbed Megaverse), and it could be seen on receipts for toys purchased at retailers, in the name of some exclusive products on retailer web sites, and on the shipping cases for the products themselves. The reason for the change is unknown.

==Games==
===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' - The Game===
MechTech is revealed to be highly advanced [[Cybertronian]] technology created for use by [[Human]]s during the alliance between the [[Autobot]]s and [[NEST]]. A large cache of such weaponry was destroyed by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] who had infiltrated a former [[Sector Seven]] facility used by NEST that was located inside a volcano that served as a testing lab for [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Remaining samples of MechTech were later placed in transit to Human armies situated in the Middle East. Learning of this, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] dispatched [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to intercept the shipment as he could not allow the Humans to be armed with such technology. Starscream in turn managed to intercept [[Stratosphere]] where he destroyed the Autobot and the MechTech located within him though had taken a sample back to Megatron's headquarters with the intention of creating a countermeasure. However, an angered Megatron destroyed the sample and attacked Starscream for this act as he knew the MechTech had a tracking beacon which allowed a strike force of Autobots to assault the [[Decepticon]] lair. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)

2011-09-02T11:47:02Z

98.250.192.131: /* Deluxe */

{{Nav-dotm}}
The '''''Dark of the Moon''''' toyline coincides with the [[Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] film in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]]. The line is divided into three brandings: the [[MechTech]] line for Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Ultimate and [[Human Alliance]] class size toys; the [[Cyberverse]] subline featuring [[Legends Class]] characters, Commander Class (new price point, effectively replacing Scouts) and play sets; and [[Robo Power]], a catch all line for various merchandise including role play.

The figures also come in ''3'' [[transformation (toys)| transformation]] difficulty levels, changed from the original 5 in the [[Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toylines.

Cyberverse (toyline)

2011-08-26T14:58:34Z

98.250.192.131:

'''Cyberverse''' is a rebranding of the smaller size classes of Transformers toys so that the smallest Legion (previously [[Legends Class]]) and Commander (similar to [[Size class|Scout]] class) toys are in something close to relative scale with each other. Cyberverse figures are designed to interact with various transforming battle vehicles and playsets, creating a unified "world" children (or [[fandom| childish adults]]) can collect. While most are brand new molds, some figures are [[retool]]s/[[redeco]]es of legends releases, but the vast majority are tooled to accommodate 3mm weapon pegs and/or [[C joint]]s.

The Cyberverse line debuted with ''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' and will continue for ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)| Prime]]''.

The working name for this line was "Megaverse" (with the [[MechTech]] line originally having been "Cybertech"), which could be seen on receipts for toys purchased at retailers, in the name of some exclusive on retailer web sites, and on the shipping cases for the products themselves. The reason for the change is unknown.
