'''Quintessa''' is a mysterious and powerful space sorceress. The self-described "[[Prime (rank)|Prime]] of Life", she claims to have created the [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] species and considers [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to be hers to command.

Then again, she's also been referred to as "The Great Deceiver", so how much of what she says is actually ''true'' may be up for debate. What ''does'' appear to be true about Quintessa is that she's a ruthless, genocidal psychopath with massive delusions of grandeur—an overall "charming" personality that, quite frankly, makes her more endearing to the tyrannical [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] than to the noble [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

[[File:TLK Optimus chained.jpg|thumb|right|300px|It would seem, my little Princess, that in your anger, you destroyed them both.]]

The true origins and motives of the being known as Quintessa are unknown. She professed to be the creator and goddess of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but in the distant past, her twelve [[Guardian Knight]]s came to understand that she was not as benevolent as she appeared, and so stole her powerful [[Staff of Merlin|staff]] and hid it on [[Earth]].

In the present day, seeking to repair the shattered Cybertron—ravaged by the [[Autobot]]/[[Decepticon]] war—Quintessa took control of the deserted planet and began moving it across space, intending to replenish it by draining the lifeforce of Earth—or as she knew it, Cybertron's ancient enemy [[Unicron]]. To accomplish this, she required her staff, and under undivulged circumstances, made contact with the Decepticon leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], charging him with locating it for her.

As Cybertron entered Earth's solar system, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]—who had previously left Earth in search of his [[creator]]s—came across it and set down on its surface. As Optimus entered [[Ignition chamber|Quintessa's base]], Quintessa intimated that she was the creator he had been searching for, which prompted Optimus to attack her, but she easily restrained him. Striking Optimus across the cheek, she left a red "scar" that spread over his face, placing him under her control. Redubbing him "Nemesis Prime", Quintessa dispatched him to Earth as another agent to search for her staff.

[[File:TLK-Quintessa-human-disguise.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|"I will wreak a terrible revenge."]]
The brainwashed Optimus would ultimately fail in his mission as his old friends helped him break Quintessa's control, but not before the staff had been located. Megatron, however, snatched victory from the jaw's of Optimus's defeat, stealing the staff and delivering it to Quintessa as Cybertron arrived in Earth's atmosphere. Quintessa triggered the energy transfer from Earth to Cybertron, and charged Megatron with defending her as she used her own body as a conduit between staff and planets. A combined assault from the Autobots, humans, and Knights vanquished all her forces, but her own power remained more than enough to stop Optimus when he tried to take her on directly. Unfortunately for Quintessa, Optimus was only a distraction; his frontal assault left her open to an attack from the rear by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], who blasted and seemingly vaporized her.

The Autobots and their allies subsequently stopped Quintessa's plan by recovering the staff and retaking control of Cybertron. Quintessa, however, was not yet defeated. Disguising herself as a human, she approached one of the scientific expeditions studying one of Unicron's horns in a desert. Cautioning team member [[Bullfred Witman]] against touching Unicron, she offered them a way to kill him... {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

* Quintessa is loosely based on the [[Quintesson]]s of [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] lore, while her name comes from [[Quintessa (planet)|their home planet]]. Her design is also reminiscent of that of [[Quintus Prime]].
* It is never made clear whether Quintessa is one of the "[[Creator]]s" mentioned in ''Age of Extinction'', as the only glimpse of an apparent Creator in that film shows an organic hand; she claims she is one, but she's also a known liar and manipulator.

[[Image:Simmonsthatwouldbecrazy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Pause for effect...pause for effect...pause for effect...]]
Agent '''Seymour Rutherford Simmons''' is the Chief Agent of [[Sector Seven]]'s Field Agents. His family has been in Sector Seven since day one, when his great-grandfather helped dig [[Megatron (Movie)|the Ice Man]] out of the Arctic. He might come off as a jerk sometimes, but he is a patriot who takes his work very personally.

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

He is the son of [[Bill Simmons]] and [[Tova Anael Fischer]].

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

[[File:Movie2007 Bumblebee lubricates Simmons.JPG|left|250px|thumb|Dear America. Please Stop. Love, Germany.]]

Prime attempted to interrogate Simmons, who revealed that the only communication he was authorized to have with the N.B.E.s was to tell them he wasn't authorized to communicate with them. He also refused to answer any questions from Sam and Mikaela about Sector Seven or how they knew of the Autobots. Annoyed by his attitude, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] released [[lubricant]] on him, and then Mikaela had Simmons strip as punishment for threatening her father. Simmons had little to worry about when he was handcuffed to a pole, as a fellow agent had already alerted their confederates. Most of the Autobots managed to elude Sector Seven, but Bumblebee was captured when he saved Sam and Mikaela from a fall.

[[File:Movie2007 Simmons FWOOP.jpg|thumb|250px|Hooch is crazy...]]

After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]] (and presumably taking the ''longest'' shower of his life), Agent Simmons, in a new, clean, and higher-in-authority uniform, and trying the awkward role of good cop, told Sam and Mikaela that they may have gotten off on the wrong foot. Taking them to see the [[Megatron (Movie)|Mega Man]], Simmons was told of Megatron's plans by Sam. Taking the guests to see the Cube, Simmons and Banachek then took their guests to see a demonstration of the Cube's power. [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] noticed some claw marks on the walls of the containment room, asking if [[Freddy Krueger]] had been here. Glen Whitmann responded that the three claw marks indicated that it was [[Wolverine (Marvel)|Wolverine]], chuckling. Simmons replied that that his comment was very funny, without any humor at all. Glen then donated his Nokia cellphone, and Simmons commented on how the Japanese's knowledge of the Samurai earned respect (Nokia is actually based in Finland). Funneling the Cube radiation into the containment box, the cellphone [[Nokia-bot|came to life]], but nearly broke the box, forcing Simmons to unleash a massive electrical surge to kill the damn thing. He seemed to enjoy the whole experience.

However, [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] had infiltrated the dam and sent a message to the [[Decepticon]]s, causing [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to attack. Sam urged Simmons to release Bumblebee, saying he would help, but Simmons stubbornly refused. [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] decided to apply some armed persuasion, which Simmons still refused to heed, leading to a standoff between the rangers and Sector Seven agents. Finally, the rangers won when [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]] advised Simmons to comply. After Bumblebee reformatted the Cube, Simmons, Secretary Keller, [[Maggie Madsen]], and Glen Whitmann went to the dam's archives, where they tried to send an S.O.S via an old radio. Unfortunately, while the radio itself was working, someone had stolen the microphones. Glen managed to hotwire a computer to send a signal via Morse code, while Simmons and Keller provided cover fire when Frenzy began attacking. Fortunately, the psychotic robot sliced off his own head. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

[[File:Rotf t2 simmonsclassified.jpg|thumb|My mother's sandwich recipe is classified. ''Real'' effing classified.]]
Simmons set up a website, ''[[GiantEffingRobots.com]]'', under the alias [[Robo-Warrior]], where he developed a rivalry with ''[[The Real Effing Deal]]''. One day, after his hometown of [[New York City]] had been attacked by [[Decepticon]] [[protoform]]s and [[The Fallen]] had broadcast a threat across the world, ''The Real Effing Deal''{{'}}s webmaster, [[Leo Spitz]], walked into his deli. Leo tried to be civil about their rivalry, as he recognized he needed Robo-warrior's aid, but Simmons initially feigned ignorance of his site and then began criticizing Leo's work. Then, when [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] walked through his door, visibly shocked at whom they were dealing with, Simmons ordered the store closed, then vented further, admonishing Sam over how [[Megatron (Movie)|N.B.E. 01]] was ''still'' alive and blaming them for the loss of his job.

Once Simmons heard how Sam needed ''his'' help, he was prepared to let Sam rot, until Sam mentioned that [[Scalpel (ROTF)|a crab bot]] had projected alien symbols from his brain. Realizing what that meant, he opened a hidden stairway in the cold storage room that led to a room filled with classified files (as well as Frenzy's head), which he'd taken for himself before Sector Seven closed its doors. Simmons revealed the [[Cyberglyphics]] Sam was hallucinating about could be found all over the globe, a clear sign the [[Transformer]]s had visited the planet long before the [[AllSpark]] and Megatron. Simmons explained he had been keen to investigate evidence of other Transformers lying inert on Earth, but Sector Seven had denied him permission, deeming it an ''obsession''. Mikaela brought [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] into the room, and he identified several of the machines in Simmons's photographs as [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]], who had come to Earth ages ago searching for something.

Journeying to the nearest known Seeker at the Smithsonian, Simmons hatched a plan to get past security after hours that essentially involved him tasing the guards: Simmons was successful in taking down the guard to whom he'd assigned himself, but Leo wound up tasing himself too. Simmons had to drag him to where Sam, Mikaela and Wheelie had detected [[energon radiation]], and they found their Seeker was an SR-71 Blackbird. Sam's AllSpark fragment reactivated the jet, who was actually the former Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. The grouchy Seeker used a [[space bridge]] to transport them to [[Egypt]], where he told them the story of [[The Fallen]], the [[Star Harvester]], and the [[Matrix of Leadership]] needed to power it, which was hidden in the [[Tomb of the Primes]]. Jetfire explained the clue they had: "When dawn alights the Dagger's tip, Three Kings will reveal the Doorway". The four humans plus Wheelie, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] went searching for the Matrix to resurrect [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], the only one who could defeat The Fallen.

[[File:ROTF Simmons not alone.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Simmons has an odd concept of "alone". He's very strange.]]
Simmons used his intelligence skills to evade detection, as The Fallen's demand for Sam's capture made Sam a wanted man. His history contact in the CIA informed that the Israelites used to call the [[Gulf of Aqaba]] "the Dagger's tip," indicating that it was their next destination. He contacted [[NEST]], telling them to bring Optimus's body to Egypt. Then he got Sam across the [[Jordan]]ian border, mainly because the border guard liked New York and was amiable enough to let his "family" pass. Sam worked out the only clue to the tomb and uncovered the Matrix in [[Petra]]. As Leo complained of the lack of answers, Simmons angrily informed him that real life was heart break. This in turn caused an argument between the Twins, which turned physical, damaging the ancient ruins they were in. However, the fight revealed the Tomb of the Primes behind the wall they cracked, with the Matrix... which crumbled to dust, after Sam tried to gain possession of it. Simmons looked on the bright side: without the Matrix, the Decepticons couldn't activate the machine. As Bumblebee drove them back to Egypt, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Sam ran off to revive Optimus, who was being protected by NEST in ruins near the [[pyramid]]s, while Simmons played decoy and drove in Skids to a quarry. Simmons relished his supporting role, proclaiming he was "One man, alone, betrayed by the country he loves," despite the fact that Leo was right next to him, and he was driving Skids.

Simmons and Leo were driven by Skids and Mudflap into a quarry near the pyramids, where they witnessed the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] combine into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. Simmons avoided being sucked into the giant's mouth by running for his legs. As Devastator clambered up the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], realization struck Simmons: the pyramid was built around the machine Jetfire had told them about. He retrieved a radio from a Jordanian helicopter that Megatron had downed, which he used to contact the [[United States Navy]]. Simmons followed Devastator up the pyramid-despite Leo's protests-with the radio in hand, wheedling his way around [[L. W. Wilder|Captain Wilder]]'s tedious demand as to how he knew of their top secret [[rail gun]] that were based on studies of the US military. As he climbed the pyramid, Simmons probably became the only human to acknowledge Devastator had two wrecking balls resembling the male scrotum. After the Navy successfully fired on the behemoth, Simmons gained military backup for NEST, whose phone signals had been jammed by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. After Optimus was raised from the dead and The Fallen's defeat, Simmons was congratulated by Lennox for his aid in bringing down the Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

In the three years since [[Operation: Firestorm]], and with the presence of the Transformers revealed to the public, Simmons had written a book—''[[Code-Name Hero: How Seymour Simmons & the Aliens Saved the World]]'' which turned out to be quite the money-spinner. Simmons had gotten enough cash to live in a fancy new house with [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] as his personal assistant.

Simmons had clearly retained his newfound warmth towards the Autobots by this time, as he publicly defended the controversial allies of the United States when attacked—er, interviewed by [[Bill O'Reilly]]. Dutch had just kicked out O'Reilly's goons, when Simmons was called by his old pal Sam Witwicky (who had dubbed Simmons the expert). Sam asked for his assistance in uncovering the secrets of the newest Autobot-Decepticon conflict, and after some careful consideration (and fear of relapse from his "addiction" to Transformers), agreed. Simmons worked with Sam, Dutch, [[Brains]], [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]], and the kid's Camaro [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Together they deduced that the Decepticons had been killing humans who had been working with them for decades, and Brains and Dutch found two Russian cosmonauts in hiding. Before they could set off, Sam got into an argument with his new girlfriend [[Carly Spencer]]. Simmons comforted the young "warrior", and pondered aloud how she afforded her [[Soundwave (ROTF)|new car]].

[[File:DOTM Sam and Simmons.jpg|thumb|250px|We're not really buying this latest reboot of ''The Odd Couple''...]]

The group, now accompanied by [[Dino]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], tracked down the Russians to a seedy bar. Simmons' attempt to get in by speaking Russian was flatly turned down ("Do svidaniya" means goodbye), but giving the bouncer a couple bucks got them in. Negotiations eventually broke down between the group and the Russians, culminating in the group being held at gunpoint. Dutch flipped out, much to Simmons' panic, but luckily he could calm his relapsing assistant down. Now with peace restored, the Russians explained that the last planned Moon mission was cancelled, and they had taken pictures of hundreds of strange rocks being dragged out across the Moon's surface. Sam was able to figure out that the Decepticons were truly after [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], and they quickly took off. However, on the highway, [[Dread (DOTM)|three black Suburbans]] began pursuing them. Simmons poked out of the sun roof of his car to get a closer look, but [[Crowbar|one of the Suburbans]] transformed and threw him out of his ride, injuring him.

Simmons was eventually found and treated, now wheelchair bound, and was disgusted to realize that the [[United Nations]] were giving the Autobots the boot. However, he was quite interested that his old "pal" [[Charlotte Mearing]] was in a lofty position of authority, and exchanged icy cold banter with his former mistress. Simmons watched [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the kid's Camaro bid farewell to Sam, and afterwards again voiced his disapproval of the exile of their only hope. Simmons sadly watched the Autobots depart Earth, but when it was destroyed by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], Simmons was left distraught.

Sam later came for his aid again, asking him to track the leader of the Decepticon-allied humans. Dutch determined that he was in Chicago, and Sam and [[Robert Epps]] set off to rescue the former's girlfriend. As the conflict escalated in a massive battle in Chicago, Simmons aided from behind the scenes... which really consisted of yelling at the military personnel, and watching Dutch do all the work. It looked bad when the robots' planet began to appear in the atmosphere, but when the planet disappeared, it meant victory at least. In celebration, Simmons took the moment to kiss Mearing, professing his love for her, but she had him arrested. Simmons happily complied, saying it was worth it.

Following the hunting of the Transformers by the [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]], Simmons relocated to [[Cuba]], where Transformers and human sympathizers were granted asylum. He was friendly with his fellow expat [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], who liked to pester him to go to the beach. In exchange for being made a member of the [[Order of the Witwiccans]], he informed Sir [[Edmund Burton]] about the [[Book of Cyber-Kells]] which contained important information about the alien horns appearing worldwide and told the British lord about the significance of [[Stonehenge]], allowing Burton to lead the Autobots there for the final battle. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

===Sector Seven ARG===
Seymour Simmons is a fictional character in a fictional Transformers movie produced by the ''real'' Sector Seven, masterminded by [[Reggie Simmons]]. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)|Sector Seven}}

[[Image:MoviePrequel4_Simmons_familyhistory.jpg|thumb|left|350px| It's not so much a circle as it is a straight line]]
In [[1954]], William Simmons found out that Anne Fischer was pregnant. After Bill went missing and was thought dead, Anne took the Simmons name and named the kid Seymour. His great-grandfather [[Walter Simmons]] hopes to never meet him and hopes Seymour never finds out about Sector 7 and discovers his legacy. {{storylink|Frozen}}

Unfortunately, Seymour would find out about Sector 7 nonetheless at age eleven. At the time, Seymour found his everyday life monotonous, and had trouble relating to his schoolmates. He learned how to forge keys through library books, and managed to break into Mr. [[Cappuccio]]’s safe just to see if he could. He'd never steal anything, only wanting a place to escape in solitude. One day, he discovered a secret room within the building, and claimed it as his personal space. Within his sanctuary, Seymour fed his fascination with conspiracies, having deduced through his own research that aliens had been hiding on Earth at least since the 1900s.

One night, Seymour heard someone enter the diner as he readied to enter his secret room. After dismissing the idea that it was either his mother or burglars, he concluded that whoever had come was someone behind one of the many conspiracies he had uncovered. Going to spy upon whoever was coming in, he saw a one-armed man sneak into the Deli. The one-armed man quickly spotted Seymour, and grabbed him. Though he struggled at first, Seymour recognized the man from the photograph his mother kept. The man was [[Bill Simmons]]. The father-and-son reunion was cut short by the sound of a helicopter approaching outside.

Seymour and his father parted ways, though Bill Simmons left his son the 29-digit phone number needed to contact Sector 7, and instructed him to inform them of what happened. He then left his metal hand behind, and took off. Seymour watched as a [[Alice (ROTF)|robot]] jumped out of the helicopter outside, disguised itself as a woman, and chased after his father. The two faced-off in a building down the street. Then, the helicopter launched a projectile, which incinerated the building that the woman and his father had run into. The woman exited the inferno, but Seymour's father did not.

As men in black suits rushed onto the scene and covered up the incident, Seymour ran off and made the call his father had instructed him to make. By the next morning, Seymour had told his mother about the incident, and the two waited outside the deli as a black limo pulled up the street. The man who stepped out of the limo introduced himself as Seymour's great-grandfather. Seymour was eventually inducted into Sector 7, and grew up as well-adjusted as one could having witness what Seymour had. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 3}}

In [[2003]], he led a team of Sector Seven agents in an attempt to capture [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], then known as NBE-2. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 3|Movie Prequel #3}} The attempt involved luring him into a trap using an artificial isotope derived from the sub-atomic matter of the [[AllSpark|cube]], which put out an almost identical energy signature to that of the cube. After the team spent two days waiting in the [[New Mexico]] desert, Bumblebee appeared, followed by the Decepticons [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Thanks to the Decepticons, who destroyed several Apache helicopters and tried to hack into Sector Seven's network, Simmons's plan to capture Bumblebee failed horribly. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4|Movie Prequel #4}}

Simmons, Banachek and John Keller were on their way to Mission City when [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacked Hoover Dam. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}}

Arriving shortly after the battle in Mission City, Simmons asked [[William Lennox]] and [[Robert Epps]] to join Sector Seven; they agreed after Sam inadvertently called Epps while in conversation with Simmons, which sort of ruined Lennox's excuse. The next day, Simmons informed [[Vine|Professor Vine]] that he had one month to study the defeated Decepticons before they were dumped in the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. He also suggested they wake up "[[Wreckage (Movie)|sleeping beauty]]" to see if he had anything to offer. When the scientist worried that Wreckage couldn't be re-activated, especially not since [[Salazar]] was lost, Simmons called Lennox, saying the soldier had friends that could "make him" wake up. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1|Alliance #1}}

Before the Autobots arrived at the [[Nevada]] desert facility to escort the convoy carrying the Decepticon bodies away, Simmons agreed with Vine about having to dump the Decepticons into the sea, grousing that the aliens turned a city into a battleground and now they had to throw a treasure trove of information away. While they reminisced about how Salazar was able to learn from Wreckage and create the [[Landmine (Movie)|L.M.-1 units]], Simmons was dismissive and callous about the sentience of the Cybertronians, refusing to refer to Wreckage by his name, preferring to call him N.B.E.-3. At Optimus Prime's behest, Vine took the surviving AllSpark shard for safekeeping, fearing it might reactivate the dead Megatron.
Simmons and [[Salani]] persuaded Vine to take the fragment underground to hide it from any Decepticons that might still be skulking about, but as soon as they entered the main holding chamber, the fragment flew out of Simmons's hands and revived Wreckage. Wreckage rampaged through the base, destroying the L.M.-1s and fighting Starscream in a struggle leading to numerous deaths. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}} While secretly taking [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]'s head, which had fallen out of Starscream's cockpit, Simmons was left to wonder about the Transformers' sense of morality before being relieved of his duties by John Keller. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
After Sector Seven was shut down, Simmons was not invited to join [[NEST]], despite his best efforts. Simmons was convinced that it was because he had been mean to that Witwicky kid and his car stealing girlfriend, even though the official reason was concern that he might be a little unstable (probably the actual reason). Convinced that the Autobots were equally attempting to invade Earth, Simmons managed to save (stealing is so pejorative) documents from Sector Seven, as well as Frenzy's head, in the hopes of learning everything he could to stop both factions and save the planet. Although his pension took care of his needs, he decided to work in his mother's deli, where every day, he would take orders from people with stupid tastes in Italian meat. One night while working, Frenzy began to spazz out of control and nearly fried the building's electrical system, forcing Simmons to shut him down. After a mild complaint by his landlord, Simmons decided to relocate Frenzy and the documents to the basement of his mother's deli, the safest alternative he could think of. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

*According to the director's commentary on the ''Transformers'' DVD, Turturro based his performance as Simmons on [[Michael Bay]]. If this is true, then Mr. Bay is indeed crazier than people think.
*Evidently, Simmons owns toys produced during the Sector Seven misinformation campaign known as [[Hungry Dragon|Operation: Hungry Dragon]]. For some reason, the [[Micromaster]] [[Tailwind (G1)|Tailwind]] was included among Simmon's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' props during an auction on October 8 & 9, 2009 held by Profiles in History.
* While filming, Turturro apparently started to weep while filming at the Petra (in Jordan). He was apparently overwhelmed with the beautiful structures, and how his career had brought him there. As Mr. Bay said in interview to USAToday: "(Turturro) was looking at Petra, and it was the morning of, just setting up, and he had a tear in his eye. I was like 'What's going on?' He said, 'You never get to do this. I was at the Pyramids just the other day, and now I'm here. You just never get to do this.' "

Females are often underestimated by society, but never '''Lou Hoover'''. Between her expertise in metallurgy, her calm composure, and the fact that she's always armed to the teeth with pistols and revolvers, there are few better people to have your back in a fight. Even when faced with giant metal robots, she won't back down.

She's married to some spineless loser named [[Herbert Hoover|Herbert]].

==Fiction==
===IDW live-action film comics===
While in [[China]] with her husband during the [[Boxer Rebellion]], Lou met [[Walter Simmons]] and [[Theodore Joseph Wells|Theodore Wells]] and became entranced by their organization. Replacing their fallen metallurgist, she and her husband joined them on their adventures in America.

An excursion to the bottom of the Colorado River Basin where the [[AllSpark#Live-action movie universe|Cube]] had been located resulted in an unexpected battle. Not only had a [[Jetfire (Movie)|previously-encountered]] robot returned, but the Cube somehow brought [[Four original AllSpark Mutations|four of the machines]] around them to life. Herbert tried to pull his wife to safety, but she reminded him that she was plenty capable of taking care of herself. When Herbert realized that the robots weren't waterproof, he opened the basin's floodgates, while Lou ordered everyone to get themselves to high ground and covered their retreat. Just as the rushing water threatened to sweep Herbert away, Lou pulled her husband from the flood.

Lou is totally badass. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}}

[[File:Sector71_theodore_grant.jpg|thumb|225px]]
A well respected academic in geological circles, '''Theodore Grant''' attracted particular attention for the time he spent in [[Antarctica]] studying the intricacies of ice. But he's not just all about the fancy book-learnin'—he can be a rough-and-tumble sort when the situation demands, despite not being a young man any more, and he'll never be satisfied with breaking even. Whether it's in the lab or on the battlefield, Theodore Grant plays to win!

Grant is a member of the [[First Seven]], the group who founded the covert government organization [[Sector Seven]].

==Fiction==
===IDW Publishing comics===
Grant was recruited by [[United States of America|United States]] Secret Service agent [[Billy North]] to join him, [[Walter Simmons]], [[Theodore Joseph Wells]], [[Reginald Danco]], [[Jack Arden]] and [[Philippe Bowen]] on an expedition to the [[Arctic]], to verify the claims made by Captain [[Archibald Witwicky]] that he had found a giant [[Megatron (Movie)|metal man]] frozen in an ice cave. The claims proved true, and Grant quickly deduced where Bowen would need to plant charges to free the behemoth from the ice, but metallurgist Arden's inability to deduce what kind of metal the creature was made of meant that they couldn't follow through with their plan, since they couldn't ensure it would float once freed. Grant's skills found an unexpected use when the group was suddenly attacked by [[Jetfire (Movie)|another of the metal man's kind]]; at Danco's instruction, he directed Bowen to plant his charges in the key spots to collapse the ice sheet out from under the robot, sending it to a watery grave. Unfortunately, Agent North did not survive the altercation, but Grant willingly chose to stay with the group to learn more about the robots and protect the Earth against them. As Grant saw it, the robot had taken out one of theirs, and they had taken out a robot in return—and he wouldn't settle for a tie! {{storylink|Original}}

==Notes==
*''[[Transformers: Sector 7|Sector 7]]'' author [[John Barber]] designed the First Seven to represent disparate parts of the era their story takes place in. Grant is cast in the mold of fictional colonialist hero {{w|Allan Quatermain}}.
* It is most likely possible that he parted ways from the group, just like [[Jack Arden]]. [[Lou Hoover]] herself was mentioned to be both a metallurgist and geologist by author [[John Barber]].

[[Image:Sector7_5_billy_simmons.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

'''William Simmons'''—"'''Bill'''" to his friends and co-workers, or "'''Billy'''" if you're either an elderly relative or looking for a punch in the mouth—is an all-American boy. Son of [[Margaret Simmons]] and grandson of [[Sector Seven]] founder [[Walter Simmons]] and [[Clara Simmons]], his only interest upon reaching adulthood was to serve his country, and he enlisted in the army, actively eschewing enrollment in his grandfather's organization after seeing what the experience had done to the rest of his family. Whether fighting Nazis on the front lines or rooting out Commies at home, Bill was a staunch defender of Uncle Sam, apple pie, and all the rest of it against foreign invaders... and then, his mind was opened to the concept of an "invading other" he could scarcely comprehend. Faced with the reality of the existence of worlds beyond our own, and indeed, the possibility that the creatures that came from those worlds could be more than simply what his grandfather claimed they were, he fell victim to the tragedy of the Simmons lineage with scarcely a hint of realizing it.

Bill is husband to [[Tova Anael Fischer|Anne Fischer]], and father of [[Seymour Simmons]]. He is sometimes known as '''Felix'''.

==Fiction==
===IDW movie comics===
At best estimate, Bill was born to Margaret Simmons and her unnamed husband in the early 1920s. When Margaret became separated from her husband at an unspecified point over the following decade (either by death, divorce or something else), her father, Walter, gave her a low level position within Sector Seven so that she could provide for the boy. {{storylink|Together}} Margaret fell in love with Sector Seven agent [[Roy Thompson]], and together, they raised Bill until Margaret's untimely death at some point prior to 1944. Blaming Sector Seven for his mother's death, Bill vowed to have nothing to do with it, and instead joined the army when he came of age.

[[File:PrivateSimmonsSectorSevenWeapon.jpeg|thumb|left|upright=1.65]]
On [[April 3]], [[1944]], Bill was summoned by his grandfather to Sector Seven's Beta Command Post at [[Hoover Dam]], where he revealed he had orchestrated Bill's transfer from his unit to Sector Seven for a special mission. Bill was not happy about either the situation or the flip attitudes of the other men he was partnered with, but the mission did appeal to his Nazi-thumping sense of adventure: an air-drop into enemy territory, there to penetrate [[Castle Neuschwanstein]] and destroy both the Nazi facility within and the [[Non-Biological Extraterrestrial|N.B.E.]] they were holding captive there! The mission got off to a bad start, however, when the team was shot down by mecha-tanks the Nazis had reverse-engineered from their prisoner's technology, leaving only Bill, the youthful [[Lupton]] and their commanding officer [[Donavan|Sergeant Donavan]] alive once they hit the ground. The tanks pursued them, transforming into humanoid modes, and although Bill was able to board the mecha and kill the pilot wired into its systems, Donavan did not survive the battle. Together, Bill and Lupton were able to topple one remaining tanks with felled trees and Lupton used it to take out the third and final one, but not before accidentally vaporizing Bill's right hand with a stray laser blast from its turret. Taking the loss in stride, Bill boarded the tank, and the pair tried using it to enter Castle Neuschwanstein stealthily. Unfortunately, the screaming of the tank's tortured pilot alerted the castle's guards, and they activated their greatest robot creation yet, the [[Panzer-Giganten]], which crushed the tank and killed Lupton. Making his way through soldiers and scientists alike—hurling one man out a window upon receipt of the standard "I was only following orders!" response to his inquiries—Bill prepared to take himself and the Panzer-Giganten out with a satchel of explosives. The robot proved able to simply swat the satchel away, but the resulting explosion instead blew open the cryo-unit that was holding the Nazi's captive N.B.E.—[[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]! The ancient [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] made quick work of the Panzer-Giganten, then turned on Bill, believing him responsible for his ordeal. Bill was quick to explain otherwise, but Jetfire remained derisive, considering the human's willingness to throw his life away foolish. Bill retorted that he valued freedom more than his own life, which gave Jetfire pause, reminding him of his own desire for freedom and his rebellion against his master, [[The Fallen]]. Seeing something of himself in the young man, Jetfire fulfilled Bill's mission for him by destroying the castle, then flew him to the nearest allied outpost before disappearing. {{storylink|Weapon (issue)|Weapon}}

The whole experience convinced Bill to permanently join Sector Seven, making his specific goal the investigation of a mysterious network of subterranean tunnels, a map of which the Nazis had pulled from Jetfire's brain. Over the next decade, he distinguished himself as a superior agent, but he did ruffle some feathers when he led a campaign to have Sector Seven scientist [[Robert Oppenheimer]] ousted from the organization on allegations of Communism. His severed fist was replaced with a mechanical prosthesis, and in [[1953]], he married fellow agent Anne Fischer in a secret ceremony.

[[File:WilliamSimmonsyourepregnantSectorSevenFrozen.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.0]]
In [[1954]], Bill and Anne were part of the skeleton staff manning the Sector Seven Alpha Command Post in the [[Arctic]], where the "[[Megatron (Movie)|Mega-Man]]" discovered by his grandfather was frozen. When an act of sabotage trapped them in the base, along with [[Philip Nolan]], [[Joe Danco]] and [[Fontaine]], and a rapidly-thawing Mega-Man, tensions between Bill and Nolan exploded, the latter having long held a grudge over the Oppenheimer incident. Believing Nolan to be responsible for the sabotage, Bill locked him up, but when Fontaine turned up dead soon after, they were faced with the possibility that an N.B.E. might have somehow disguised itself as one of them. The group conducted a blood test to prove their humanity to one another, which led to the discovery that Anne was pregnant, but this only wound up destabilizing relations even further, as Nolan believed the couple were conspiring against him. At gunpoint, Bill revealed that he had been stationed in the Arctic as part of his research into the tunnel system, which they could use to escape the base. With this means of flight now exposed, Danco revealed himself to be both the saboteur and killer and a Communist defector, having orchestrated the entire scenario in order to escape to Russia with stolen Sector Seven secrets. The Mega-Man chose this moment to defrost and come smashing his way into the tunnels in pursuit, while simultaneously, above ground, Bill's grandfather called for liquid nitrogen bombs to be dropped on the facility to prevent his escape at the cost of the crew's lives. Jetfire intervened, having been shadowing Bill since their meeting during the war, but was only able to save Anne and Nolan from the freezing blast. {{storylink|Frozen}}

Although believed dead by all, both Bill and Danco survived the blast, with Danco fleeing deeper into the tunnels and Bill giving chase. Unfortunately, he ran straight into a Soviet extraction team sent to recover Danco, and was taken captive, transported back to the Soviet Union for incarceration and interrogation. Moved from facility to facility and tortured repeatedly, Bill did not break once in eight years, even managing to escape multiple times, only to be repeatedly hunted down and recaptured. Eventually, at the start of [[1962]], he was relocated to [[Soviet Research Station Oktober]], where he was kept in solitary confinement for three and a half years, psychologically tormented by having episodes of ''[[cat with a magic bag|Felix the Cat]]'' blasted into his cell every day. In the summer of [[1965]], Danco revealed that the Spetsnaz had located Anne and his now-ten-year-old son Seymour, and this may well have been the breaking point for Bill, if not for a covert Decepticon attack on the facility. Impersonating agent [[Alisa Morozov]], the Decepticons' [[Alice (ROTF)|Pretender]] murdered the station's staff and began reading information from Danco's brain; in the chaos, Simmons convinced Danco to throw him his gun, allowing him to blast his cell door off at the hinges, and to then kill Danco to stop the Decepticons' plan. Setting off a propane explosion to cover his escape, Bill emerged from Research Station Oktober to find it was in the middle of Moscow, and quickly disappeared in the crowd of onlookers. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 2}}

After being on the run for two months, Bill Simmons managed to escape Russia by boarding a freighter using Danco’s indentification papers. Back in his country, he made contact with Sector 7 command, and waited to be picked up. After a time, feeling uneasy and suspecting he’d been compromised, Bill decided to head for an address inscribed on the back of the photo of his son.

The address led him to a deli. He entered the establishment, careful to be a stealthy as possible. Within, he spotted Seymour hiding. Quickly grabbing the boy, he asked his son about his mother. Though Seymour struggled at first, he recognized his father from the photograph his mother kept. Bill struggled to explain to Seymour who he was, but their conversation was cut short by the arrival of a helicopter. Recognizing that a Russian helicopter arriving in the middle of the night wasn't normal, Bill entrusted his son with the secret number to Sector 7 and his metal hand, before saying goodbye best he could. Bill then took off down the street. The Pretender exited the helicopter, and soon caught up to him. After a brief fight, [[Incinerator (Movie)|the helicopter]] that carried the Pretender launched a projectile, incinerating the building Bill was in, presumably killing him. His body was never found. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 3}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel===

In order to convince [[L. W.

==Notes==
*Seymour's father was first named, as "Felix", in the novelization of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', a name which was presumably, like many of the other dropped plot points and explanations seen in the novel, drawn from the original script for the film. Author [[John Barber]] evidently missed this factoid when he identified Seymour's father as "Bill" in the ''[[Transformers: Sector 7|Sector 7]]'' comic book, but he later returned to the goof in ''[[Transformers: Convergence|Convergence]]'', and implied that "Felix" was an alias or changed name that Bill later took on, inspired by the ''{{w|Felix the Cat}}'' episodes the Russians bombarded him with.
