Am I the only one who thinks we may have completely the wrong end of the stick here? We only have two sources for the Backronymn (and one for the acronym itself), and I'm about to poke a hole in one of them. If you read the credits, it does mention "Special Air Service Forces". The problem is that this is a credit for two people. In other words, it's probable it just means "Forces from the Special Air Service".

Am I the only one who noticed, or am I the only one who decided to start ranting about it? [[User:LostCause|LostCause]] 13:11, 10 February 2011 (EST)

[[Image:Movie Lennox myladies.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Guys, are we supposed to be getting an episode of the Teletubbies?]]

Returning back to [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] after a mission behind enemy lines, 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, [[Robert Epps|Epps]] commented that he'd never accept a dinner invitation to Fig's house and [[Patrick Donnelly|Donnelly]] reminisced about flat beer, cold hot dogs and baseball on weekends. When asked about what he wanted to do, Lennox replied that he only wanted to hold his baby girl for the first time, to which his men teased him for his sappy sentiment.

After their CV-22 Ospreys touched down, Lennox was writing a report when local boy [[Mahfouz]] visited him carrying a bag of water. Soon afterwards, he talked to his wife Sarah and their daughter on the satellite video phone. Lennox declared that their daughter was so cute that he just wanted to chew on her cheeks, and that they both made one good looking kid. To his delight, Sarah told him their girl had his laugh, though he wondered if she had merely farted. Around the same time as a [[Blackout (Movie)|mysterious MH-53 Pave Low]] helicopter had landed on the base, his connection to Sarah became distorted, and he tried to tell her that he'd be home soon as the transmission was cut.

Suddenly, the base was under attack as the helicopter somehow transformed into a giant walking weapons platform. Leading his men and the boy Mahfouz, they witnessed Epps nearly being crushed by the weapons platform before Fig saved him by firing a sabot from his grenade launcher into the 'chest' of the weapon. With Epps in tow, Lennox's unit escaped as the robot laid waste to SOCCENT, leaving no survivors.

[[Image:Movie Lennox Scorponoktail.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Yeah, real good work watching your commander's back, all you guys standin' in the background.]]

The next morning, after making their way through the desert, the men discussed the past night's events, with Epps expressing his belief that the weapon, whatever it was, looked right back at him as he was taking its photograph. Lennox determined that no matter what, they had to get the information back to the [[Pentagon]], and asked Mahfouz to lead them to his village where they could find a telephone line. Unknown to them, [[Scorponok (Movie)|a second robot]], a mechanical scorpion, was listening to their conversation and stalking them. As they neared the outskirts of the village, a metal spiked tail rose out of the sand and was about to kill Lennox when Epps fired at it, saving his life. Unfortunately, the giant scorpion killed top kick Donnelly and the men ran for their lives to the relative cover of the village.

Ordering the men to form a defensive perimeter, Lennox followed Mahfouz to his father [[Akram]]'s house, the latter of whom provided him with a cell phone. As the others fought off Scorponok, Lennox attempted to call for help from the Pentagon, but had more than a little trouble with the [[Telephone Operator|operator]] who demanded a credit card despite the life-and-death situation he was in. After successfully searching for Epps's credit card in one of the latter's many back pockets, Lennox successfully contacted the Pentagon, but not before the operator tried to get him to sign onto a Premium Plus World Service Gold Package. He'll never use that company again.

[[Image:Movie LennoxEpps backpockets.jpg|left|300px|thumb|10: LEFT CHEEK! 20: GOTO 10]]

The Pentagon sent in two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from Strike Package Bravo. Lennox ordered the men to light up the target for the Air Force' radars to lock onto and fire upon. Unfortunately, the A-10s did no appreciable damage to the metal scorpion, with Epps expressing disbelief that it could still be alive. With the call of [[Bring the rain|"Bring the rain!"]], Lennox suggested the biggest barrels the Air Force had: the 105 millimeter cannons of a AC-130 Spectre gunship. The cannonade pounded Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dove into the sand, but not before leaving part of its damaged tail behind. Lennox and Epps ran to check on Fig, who had been struck by one of the scorpion's missiles.

En-route back to America, the team studied the tail segment they salvaged from the battle scene. An analyst observed that it seemed to be covered in a [[Self-regenerating molecular armor]]. Lennox pointed out where a sabot round had burned right through. Turning to Epps's expertise, he asked if it was correct that sabot rounds had a 6000 degree magnesium burn, which Epps said was true. As Lennox ordered Epps to tell command to load sabot rounds on all their gunships, the tail suddenly came to life and narrowly missed impaling them. Epps angrily berated the analyst for telling them it was dead; Lennox ordered them to strap the tail down, while concluding that the technology behind it was 'wicked'. Touching down at [[United States Air Force#Facilities|Nellis Air Force Base]], Lennox's men had barely walked off the plane when [[Sector Seven|mysterious government agents]] pulled up in black SUVs and ordered the Rangers to come with them.

After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], Lennox and his unit met with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]], and were taken to see [[Megatron (Movie)|N.B.E.-1]]. After the Iceman began to thaw, Lennox and his unit headed for the armory, where they were having a special on forty mm sabot rounds.

When [[Sam Witwicky]] asked [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] to free [[Bumblebee (Movie)|a good robot]], Simmons refused to listen, until Lennox got him to cooperate by putting a gun to his chest, resulting in a Mexican standoff between his unit and Sector Seven. Simmons ordered him to release him, but Lennox told Simmons he and his men didn't take orders from people who didn't exist. They won the standoff (losing really isn't an option for those guys). Lennox and his men subsequently escorted Sam and the car to [[Mission City]], meeting [[Autobot|other good robots]] en route.

[[Image:Movie Lennox Sam takethecube.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Give me the girl and no one has to die here.]]

After arriving in Mission City, they were attacked by a [[Seeker (Movie)|fighter jet]] which [[Ironhide (Movie)|some truck]] called "[[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]". Soon afterwards, [[Brawl (Movie)|a tank]] started shelling them, until the good robots totally triple teamed it. When Megatron arrived, the good robots told the soldiers to fall back, and seeing [[Jazz (Movie)|the Pontiac]] trying to cover the retreat of his men, Lennox tried to tell the good robot to fall back as well, but it was too late. Lennox and his men engaged the tank when it got back up, but it just wouldn't die, and things were complicated further when the helicopter that destroyed SOCCENT Qatar turned up. Telling Sam to take the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] to a building to be evacuated, Lennox and his team engaged the tank thing, which began to overpower them. It was only with the help of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the Camaro]] and [[Mikaela Banes|some girl]] that they were able to kill the thing.

[[Image:Lennox-slide-shoot.jpg|left|250px|thumb|YOU DISHONOR MY FAMILY!]]

Later, Lennox and his men went to assist [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|the big truck]] in his fight with Megatron. During the battle, that helicopter went to help his boss. Lennox totally killed it dead by the time-honored method of:

:* Getting on a motorcycle.
:* Jumping off the motorcycle as it slams into the enemy.
:* Sliding under his opponent.
:* Shooting them in the [[gearbox]] with sabot rounds until they are dead.
:* Going "woo-hoo", "yee-ha", or another exclamation of success.

[[Image:Movie LennoxFamily.jpg|right|250px|thumb|It's the circle of liiiife!]]
His final action in the battle of Mission City was to shoot a sabot round in the chest of Megatron, offering an opening to Sam to ram the All Spark in his chest, thus allowing them victory.

After the deaths of the [[Decepticon]]s, [[Ironhide (Movie)|the Topkick named Ironhide]] gave him a ride home, where he was reunited with his wife and met his newborn daughter. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Though the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] had been defeated, the job was not yet done in Mission City. Now acquainted with the good robots known as the [[Autobot|Autobots]], Lennox and his team accompanied [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to seek out and destroy the mutation Transformers created by the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]'s energy. After the last of the creatures were destroyed, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] requested Lennox's assistance in helping the Autobots escape from less-trustworthy humans such as Sector Seven. Gladly helping, the soldiers found Ironhide a trailer that Prime could use to transport Jazz's remains out of the city. As Ironhide somberly placed his comrade's body into the container, Lennox, Epps and the men lowered their heads in honour of the 'bot who saved their lives. Lennox gave Ironhide his cell phone for Sam Witwicky to call him with once they were safely away (forgetting that his wife would probably call him at some point). As soon as the Autobots left, that jerkface Agent Simmons from Sector Seven turned up, demanding to know what had transpired. To their surprise, Simmons also offered Lennox and Epps positions within Sector Seven to help defend Earth against further Transformer aggression. Initially, they refused, until Sam called Epps's phone right in front of Simmons, blowing Lennox's excuse.

A month later, Simmons managed to persuade Lennox to request the Autobots' assistance in escorting the corpses of the Decepticons to the naval yards for disposal. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

Now members of Sector Seven, Epps and Lennox oversaw the transportation of the Decepticon bodies to the [[San Diego]] [[United States Navy|US Navy]] base where they would be taken to the ocean and dumped. As a gesture of friendship to the Autobots, Lennox also arranged for Jazz to be properly buried at sea, an honour greatly appreciated by Optimus Prime. When the All Spark fragment seemed to react to the presence of the Decepticons, Optimus Prime left it in the care of Sector Seven scientist [[Professor Vine]] while he was away. Lennox ordered [[Salani]] to stay behind and guard the shard with his life. Later, when Optimus Prime had second thoughts, he ordered Bumblebee and Ironhide to return to the Sector Seven [[Nevada]] base to retrieve the fragment, and Lennox sent Epps to accompany them. What they didn't know was Decepticons had leveled the base. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}

[[Image:Alliance3_OptimusPrime_Lennox.jpg|thumb|300px|I went from the height of Prime's ankle to his knee in just 2 panels!]]

The convoy returned after learning of [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s devastating attacks. Just as Simmons was about to leave to find the All Spark shard, Lennox ordered him to stay where he was, and that Simmons's rank was negated by orders from Secretary of Defense Keller, who had terminated Sector Seven and fired Simmons. Lennox felt some regret in seeing Simmons go, but doubted they had seen the last of the strange man. Two weeks later, Lennox butted heads with unsympathetic, suspicious superiors at the [[Pentagon]], who did not trust the Autobots and were not keen on Lennox's idea of a joint military alliance. At the last they agreed, but made it clear it was the young officer's responsibility. After the disposal of the Decepticons, Lennox assured Optimus Prime that it was highly unlikely anything of Earth or Cybertronian origin could reach the bodies. Below deck, Lennox, revealed more "[[transition form|meteors]] had been seen coming down to Earth, and proposed his militaty alliance idea, with the two leaders agreeing to mutual trust and disclosure. Shortly afterwards, the Autobots and human soldiers in the newly formed [[NEST]] began training on the island of [[Diego Garcia]], though it did not go too well. Both Optimus Prime and the newly promoted '''Major''' Lennox impressed upon the soldiers that teamwork was paramount to their successful defense of their home. After the drill, Lennox expressed admiration for Optimus Prime and the Autobots, though the Autobot leader brushed the compliments off, and stated it was humans such as [[Sam Witwicky]] and Lennox who were the true heroes, and the Autobots were just part of the problem. Soon, the NEST team had to move out—the Decepticon [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] had been seen in [[San Francisco]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

[[Image:Alliance4_angryLennox_Prime.jpg|thumb|300px|left|What do you mean Self-Destruct? Who was the smart ass who installed this?]]

In San Francisco, when the Decepticons were spotted, Lennox and Bumblebee went after Swindle, who turned to face his pursuers on the Golden Gate Bridge. Lennox distracted the Decepticon from Bumblebee, a move that almost cost him his life before the Autobot destroyed Swindle. Before he died, Swindle boasted that none of them were safe, and that they would find "it". This troubled Lennox, and on the plane trip back to Diego Garcia, he confided with Prime his fears about there being more Decepticons and what they were looking for. When Optimus suggested taking Sam, a possible target, to the base on the island, Lennox refused, stating it was too much to place upon the boy, but agreed that they should assign somebody to keep an eye on him. Back at base, Lennox again butted heads with his superiors, who were supremely unhappy that the Autobots transformed into robot mode, pointedly telling Lennox that his team was expected to fix problems, not create new ones. Lennox was frustrated that the pig-headed brass still didn't trust the Autobots. After seeing Bumblebee off, the team discovered that the Decepticons were once again active in force on Earth, and were authorised to hunt down and destroy the invaders. Though their numbers and their experience grew, Lennox's men suffered losses while taking out the Decepticons. A day after destroying [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] and [[Dropkick]] in [[Florida]], the team returned to [[Mission City]] to greet new Autobot recruits. Unfortunately, soon afterwards, the greatest test NEST had faced yet appeared: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had appeared in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
:''Actor:'' [[Josh Duhamel]] (English)

In the two years following the battle at [[Mission City]], Lennox received a promotion to Major and was made field commander of [[NEST]], an alliance between human governments and the Autobots to track down and eliminate all Decepticons active on Earth.

In 2009, NEST was deployed to [[Shanghai]] when Decepticons were detected, their sixth operation in eight months. When NEST reached the industrial center they last tracked them to, Lennox told the arriving [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] that they had echoes near the steel stacks, and the Autobots soldier confirmed that there was a Decepticon nearby. Sergeant Epps soon got a thermal ripple from an excavator, and as Lennox ordered NEST to be steady, the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] transformed and struck the stacks sending them and several NEST soldiers flying. As NEST returned fire, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] made a break for it. Lennox took a group to stop the Decepticon, deploying [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[The Twins]] to intercept him. When [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] made a bad turn and Sideways managed to fight off Arcee, Lennox ordered [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] deployed, and he managed to take out the fleeing Decepticon.

Although [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Epps' group managed to take out Demolishor, he relayed a cryptic warning before he died: "[[The Fallen]] shall rise again". Upon returning to [[Diego Garcia]], Lennox ordered a video briefing with [[Morshower|General Morshower]] at the [[Pentagon]]. While paying his respects to the three soldiers who were killed at Shanghai, Lennox saw a helicopter land and deposit [[Theodore Galloway]], the National Security Adviser. Lennox told the Director he would need to be on the classified access list to enter, only for Galloway to slap a Presidential authorization on his chest informing them of [[Barack Obama|President Obama]]'s decision to make Galloway his official liaison. As Lennox took Galloway to the Autobots' hanger, the link to the JCS was established. Lennox greeted Chairman Morshower and told them that Optimus Prime needed to debrief him immediately. After Optimus relayed the warning of "The Fallen" to General Morshower, Galloway then interrupted to air the President's concerns, while also airing his complains over the Autobots' refusal to share weapons technology and continued sending of messages to space. Although Lennox and Epps tried to defend the Autobots, Galloway dismissed them and asked if the Autobots would peacefully leave if they were asked to. Optimus said that they would, but posed a question of his own: what if they leave, and Galloway was wrong? Lennox admitted that it was a good question.

That evening, however, the Decepticons located the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] shard stored on Diego Garcia and stole it, using it to resurrect [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The Autobots soon sent word to NEST of multiple incoming Decepticons, but refused to specify where they were heading and would not respond to NEST's calls. Lennox ordered NEST ready for deployment in twenty minutes. By the time they reached the United States, Lennox received a message from the Autobots: the battle with the Decepticons to rescue [[Sam Witwicky]] had not gone well, and Optimus Prime was [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|dead]]. Soon after, the Decepticons launched two attacks at Paris and the [[United States Navy]], destroying the ''U.S.S. Roosevelt'' and killing all hands aboard. Following this, The Fallen made the presence of the [[Transformer]]s known and demanded that humanity turn Sam over to them.

Optimus Prime's body was brought to an Air Force base in New Jersey, and his body had barely hit the ground when the United States military surrounded the Autobots. Lennox ordered the soldiers to lower their weapons, only to learn that Director Galloway had managed to place himself in charge of NEST and order it deactivated, with the Autobots to be placed under guard. Lennox tried to argue the Autobots value, but Galloway dismissed his arguments by saying they would buy time by negotiating with the Decepticons, even if it meant handing Sam over to the Decepticons. As a final insult to injury, Galloway then stripped Lennox's NEST badge off his uniform.

As the Autobots were being "restrained" and loaded onto C-17s for transport back to Diego Garcia, Lennox received a phone call from none other than [[Seymour Simmons]], who said that he was with Sam and needed Optimus brought to the [[Gulf of Aqaba]] in [[Egypt]]. Lennox found it strange, but realized that Sam had a better idea of the stakes and decided to trust him. Lennox had a message with the coordinates sent to General Morshower, including a warning to get ready to [[bring the rain]], while spreading word among the NEST troops to be ready. When they reached the coordinates, the pilot faked engine trouble and ordered an emergency evac. Despite Galloway's threat to end his career, he was able to strap a parachute onto the panicking bureaucrat and trick him into opening the chute while inside the plane. Finally ready, NEST parachuted into the Gulf.

Landing in a village on the beach, Lennox ordered NEST ready for combat. Once [[Graham|Agent Graham]] had a visual on [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Yellow]] team, Lennox ordered a flair popped to lead Sam to them. Unfortunately, the flare also got the attention of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who began attacking the incoming Autobots and releasing an [[electromagnetic pulse]] to disable NEST's communications. When Megatron and thirteen Decepticons arrived, Lennox ordered a group to go with Ironhide and Arcee to find Sam and lead him through the pillars, where NEST would ambush the Decepticons. Once NEST began firing on the Decepticons, Ironhide's team [[roll out|rolled out]].

In the following [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]], NEST was hard pressed to provide proper support to the remaining Autobots. Fortunately, General Morshower eventually discovered what was really happening and sent heavy armor to assist them. Members of Ironhide's team said that they were unable to reach the kid but told him where to go. Unfortunately, Megatron was hot on his trail, and Lennox ordered the tanks to provide cover fire while he and Epps made their way to Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]]. Once they reached him, Sam was insistent on getting to Optimus, despite the incoming air strike. Before they could leave, the group was forced to hide behind the wall they were using for cover, as the Decepticon [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] was using it for the same purpose. Salvation arrived in the form of the Decepticon-turned-Autobot [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], who killed Mixmaster. Unfortunately, Jetfire was then attacked by Lennox and Epps' old "pal" [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], who in turn was killed.

With the air strike incoming, Lennox told Sam and Mikaela to stay with him as they ran. Unfortunately, Epps' toss had been less than stellar. Namely, it was a mere feet away from their position. With the F-16s about to fire, Lennox and Epps ordered everyone to run like hell. Barely making away from the blast zone, Lennox ordered Sam to get back when he made a mad dash for Optimus' body. Before he could reach it, Megatron fired, sending Sam hurtling through the air before being forced to retreat. As Lennox started CPR on the boy, medics arrived to try and revive him. It appeared that Sam was dead, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] revived him. The dust in his sock turned into some sort of dagger, and Sam used it to revive Optimus Prime.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the end, as The Fallen teleported in, killed some soldiers, and stole the dagger. As it turns out, it wasn't some handy Autobot reviver. It was the [[Matrix of Leadership]], an artifact used to activate a [[solar harvester|weapon]] which would create [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]] by destroying stars. The Fallen then raised the heavy weaponry attacking the Decepticons on the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], compelling the dying Jetfire to give his parts to Optimus. Once Optimus flew off, Lennox ordered NEST to follow him and start ''running toward the pyramid''. As one can assume, Optimus destroyed the machine and killed The Fallen before they arrived. With the battle won, Lennox was seen congratulating Simmons on his role in helping to save the world. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

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

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

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

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

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

After landing in a village, Graham ordered the others to cover Optimus's body while they took positions around the town. After a few minutes of waiting, Graham had a visual of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Yellow]] team about four kilometers out, and fired a flair to guide them to the landing site. Unfortunately, the flair attracted the attention of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and he began strafing the incoming Autobots while also releasing an [[electromagnetic pulse]] to disable NEST's communications. After Megatron arrived, he ordered the Decepticons to begin their [[Operation: Firestorm|assault]], with Graham spotting thirteen Decepticon [[transition form|comet]]s landing a distance from NEST's position.

Graham survived the battle to witness Optimus Prime's resurrection and The Fallen's theft of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. When the Fallen placed the Matrix in the [[solar harvester]] and activated the machine, Graham began ''running toward the pyramid'' and ordered others to begin opening fire. Despite the questionable tactical thinking of this plan, it didn't matter, as The Fallen raised the heavy weaponry with [[telekinesis]] and destroyed it. Fortunately, Optimus, with the parts of the deceased defector [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], managed to destroy the machine and kill The Fallen. After this, Graham and Lennox were seen congratulating Simmons. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

==Notes==
*This character is credited as "SASF Agent Graham" on the [http://www.transformersmovie.com/ official movie website]. The full name of the SASF is given on [[Matthew Marsden]]'s interview on the DVD's ''Domestic Destruction'' featurette, as well as in the film credits.

*There's no such UK military unit as the "SASF" in the real-life continuity family. It is likely a fictionalized version of the "[[Wikipedia:Special_Air_Service|SAS]]" (given the colour of and insignia on his beret), except the SAS is a regiment of the British Army and, as such, doesn't have "agents" at all; rather their soldiers are known as "troopers". In addition, his uniform carries the insignia of a British Army captain (three "pips", look on the slide on his chest).

*Graham was identified as part of the British military in numerous pre-release press reports on ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.

LostCause: /* Does the SAS have "agents"? */

Are the pre-release news reports the only way we know Graham is from the British armed forces, or is his uniform British or something? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:25, 22 July 2009 (EDT)
:During the Shanghai scene when Lennox is briefing the team in the helicopter, the camera momentarily focuses on the UK flag patch on the upper right arm of Graham's uniform. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 17:20, 22 July 2009 (EDT)
::He also obviously has a british accent. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:08, 27 July 2009 (EDT)
::: He is wearing a British uniform for most of the film. It's apparently [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Army_Uniform#No.5:_Desert_combat_dress No.5 Desert combat dress] with an SAS beret. [[Special:Contributions/86.9.213.33|86.9.213.33]] 12:24, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

== Does the SAS have "agents"? ==

If not, why would it be that "It is likely they meant SAS"? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 23:10, 26 July 2009 (EDT)
:As far as I know, the SAS uses regular military ranks, and don't have agents. - [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 23:17, 26 July 2009 (EDT)
::SASF is fake, because the regimental patch on Graham's arm is slightly different from the real SAS, and has a pretty silly, hollywoody motto that does not befit a British military unit. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:08, 27 July 2009 (EDT)
:::That patch needs to be on our wanted list for the SASF page. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 07:53, 27 July 2009 (EDT)
:::: If you're on about the patch on the page image, that looks like a NEST rather than SASF patch, since I remember seeing it on other NEST soldiers in one of the featurettes on the DVD. [[User:LostCause|LostCause]] 18:01, 11 January 2010 (EST)
:::::The one on his arm looks like NEST. The one on his hat looks different. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 18:33, 11 January 2010 (EST)
