'''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]], 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'''. He is the son of [[Margaret Simmons]] and the grandson of both [[Walter Simmons]] and [[Clara Simmons]].

He loves his son dearly, but their relationship was short lived, because of [[Incinerator (Movie)|him]] and [[Alice (ROTF)|her]].
==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. Wilder|Captain Wilder]] to fire his [[rail gun]] upon [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], Seymour Simmons evoked the memory of his father, Felix, claiming that he had invented the word "classified". {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

==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.

'''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]], 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'''. He is the son of [[Margaret Simmons]] and the grandson of both [[Walter Simmons]] and [[Clara Simmons]].

He loves his son dearly, but their relationship was short lived.
==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. Wilder|Captain Wilder]] to fire his [[rail gun]] upon [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], Seymour Simmons evoked the memory of his father, Felix, claiming that he had invented the word "classified". {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

==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.

Theodore Joseph Wells

:''Theodore Joseph Wells is a [[human]] from the [[live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Sector71 wells.jpg|thumb|225px|"Take THAT, science!"]]
Together with his partner and longtime friend [[Walter Simmons]], '''Theodore Joseph Wells''' is a gentleman adventurer, and an investigator of the fantastic and the otherworldly. While he enjoys a good mystery as much as anyone, and accepts with remarkable incredulity that there are more things in heaven and Earth than are dreamed of in his philosophy, he's a lot less inclined to look for supernatural or extra-terrestrial solutions to the cases that they investigate than his partner is—something of an innate defense mechanism, perhaps, that prevents him from becoming consumed, as he often fears Walter may be, by the terrifying possibilities that their many weird and wonderful journeys open up. In a similar vein, he is not a man given to rumination: where Simmons will take the time to think and reason his way out of any trouble that might befall the pair, Wells favors just shooting at the problem.

Simmons went on to become one of the [[First Seven]], a founding member of the super-secret government organization, [[Sector Seven]].

==Fiction==
===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Sector71 simmons and wells.jpg|left|thumb|225px]]
While exploring a cave system beneath the Sierra Nevada mountains on New Year's Day [[1898]], Wells and Simmons discovered a [[Cave brute|race of inhuman monsters]], and Wells promptly opened fire on the creatures when they growled at him. His shots did little to phase the monsters, and the two adventurers were forced to flee outside, where Simmons's ingenuity allowed them to collapse the cave entrance and entomb their pursuers. Mere seconds later, the pair found themselves approached by agent [[Billy North]] of the [[United States of America|United States]] Secret Service, who had come to draft the pair on the orders of the [[President of the United States|President]]. {{storylink|Original}}

Wells and Simmons were brought to the [[Boston Secure Hospital]], where they were presented with patient [[Archibald Witwicky]], a ship's captain who had returned from an expedition to the [[Arctic]] Circle blind and mad, claiming to have discovered a giant [[Megatron (Movie)|metal man]] frozen in the ice. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Movie Prequel #2}} Wells dismissed the man's ravings as insanity, but this earned him the ire of Witwicky's first mate, [[Reginald Danco]], who seized him and was about to pummel him before Simmons defused the situation. Much to Wells's disdain, Simmons actually believed Witwicky's tale, and had Danco lead them, North and three other men—explosives expert [[Philippe Bowen]], geologist [[Theodore Grant]] and metallurgist [[Jack Arden]]—to the site of the metal man's discovery. There, in the frozen depths of the Arctic, Witwicky's claims proved true: a fact that Wells took in his stride, but which amazed Simmons so that Wells cautioned his friend against becoming too consumed by the enormity of the discovery.

[[File:Sector71 simmons wells and jetfire.jpg|thumb|225px]]
As misfortune would have it, the team's entrance into the cavern stirred the frozen giant, causing it to send out a signal that summoned [[Jetfire (Movie)|another of its kind]] to the Arctic. When Agent North began shooting the newcomer, it responded in kind, but Wells and Simmons were able to distract it long enough for Bowen and Grant to blast the ice out from underneath it, dispatching it to the ocean depths. {{storylink|Original}}

[[File:Sector72 boxer rebellion.jpg|left|thumb|250px]]
While he continued to operate as part of Simmons's group, investigating the metal "Mega Man", Wells also returned to a life of roaming adventure, taking jobs on the order of the President. One such mission led him to Tianjin, [[China]], at the turn of the century, where he was to recover an ancient scepter from a mysterious cult, and use it to stop something called the "Shangdi". Although he did retrieve the scepter, Wells then found himself caught up in the middle of the [[Boxer Rebellion]], and would have met his end at the hands of Chinese rebels if not for the intervention of American intelligence operatives [[Lou Hoover|Lou]] and [[Herbert Hoover]], who were also trapped in the country. When word came in [[1902]] that Simmons's team had discovered a mysterious [[AllSpark|metal cube]] in the [[Colorado River]] that seemed to have some connection to the Mega-Man, Wells brought the Hoovers into the organization, that their mining and metallurgical skills might be of some use in excavating and analyzing the find.

The diversion of the Colorado River took a further eleven years, during which time Simmons's wife [[Clara Simmons|Clara]] and daughter [[Margaret Simmons|Margaret]] were moved to an isolated house in the Nevada desert nearby, notionally to be close to him. But as Wells had feared, Simmons had become utterly consumed by the Mega-Man and the cube, and he took it upon himself to tend to the needs of the Simmons women, providing food, company and excuses for Walter's continuous absence. By [[1913]], however, Wells was out of excuses, and Clara was out of patience. After a particularly fraught visit to the house, Wells headed to the excavation site to give Simmons a piece of his mind, arriving just as the cube was at last being excavated. A glimmer of hope was offered Wells when the entrance to a cave system was discovered below the cube, containing the same strange glowing material that had found in the caves from their [[1897]] adventure. [[Image:Sector72_wells_and_clara.jpg|right|thumb|225px]] Believing Walter's old spark of adventure had been reignited, Wells headed down into the caves with his old partners, the Hoovers and [[Roy Thompson]]. Before going far, however, the group was attacked by the second robot that they had faced in the Arctic years beforehand, which had been searching through the caves ever since. Fleeing to the surface, Simmons ordered the cube dropped, willing to leave Wells trapped underground with the robot; thankfully, Wells moved fast enough to avoid that grisly fate. Subsequently, the cube gave off a surge of [[Energon|energy]] that brought [[Four original AllSpark Mutations|several machines to life]], including Thompson's gun, which shot Wells in the leg. More worrying was the giant crane that had come to life, which forced the Hoovers to break open the dam diverting the river. Wells was forced to drag a mesmerized Simmons away from the cube as the river swept in and “drowned” the robot, but he could not forget that his old friend had been willing to leave him.

Soon after, Wells returned to the Simmons household. Having seen what Walter had become, he gave into his feelings, and appealed to Clara to leave her husband and run away with him. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}} Long after the events of 1913, it was revealed that Clara actually left with Joseph from the diary of his friend. {{storylink|Frozen}}.

==Notes==
[[File:Prequel2_wells_simmons_and_witwicky.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*Wells and Simmons first appeared, unnamed, in IDW's [[Transformers: Movie Prequel |Movie Prequel]] comic (seen at right). When the characters were reintroduced for the ''[[Transformers: Sector 7|Sector 7]]'' comic a few years later, some of the details were fudged together for clarity's sake. The second prequel issue had depicted the dark-haired, bespectacled, mutton-chopped character (Wells) as the one with the family and the growing obsession with the Mega-Man, but the [[Movie Prequel issue 3|third issue]] then placed the silver-haired, moustachioed character (Simmons) in that role in a scene where he wistfully returned to Hoover Dam in 1935. ''Sector 7'' united these elements in the singular character of Simmons, and gave Wells his own, different role to play.
*Wells's name is a bit of mess. When he and Simmons are first introduced in the first issue of the ''[[Transformers: Sector 7|Sector 7]]'' comic, it is as "Joseph Simmons" and "Walter Wells". This mistake was amended later in the issue, but the page of author's notes at the issue's end then presented Wells's name as "Theodore", rather than Joseph. He remained Theodore for most of the second issue of the comic, until the last page, where he became Joseph again. A blurb added to the interior cover of the [[Original|third issue]] apologized for the mistakes and clarified that his first name was Theodore; at the same time, a summary printed on the same page tried to harmonize the errors by giving his full name as "Theodore Joseph Wells", so that's what we've gone with.
*First name troubles aside, Wells gets his surname from {{w|H. G. Wells}}.

As the U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis'' was off the coast of [[Egypt]], Captain Wilder received an agitated call from on land complaining about a lack of troops on the ground. When Wilder identified himself as Captain of the ''John C.

Simmons said that the only hope of destroying it was a prototype [[rail gun]]. When Wilder said that the weapon was classified, Simmons screamed not to lecture him about classified, and to relay a ready order to the properly equipped ship.

His body was never found. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 3}}

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

In order to convince [[L. W. Wilder|Captain Wilder]] to fire his [[rail gun]] upon [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], Seymour Simmons evoked the memory of his father, Felix, claiming that he had invented the word "classified". {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

==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.

== Scale Chart Page Error ==

I added a new official chart to the scale chart page: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:TFAOE_GroupScaleChart.jpeg, https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scale_charts, and followed the formatting precedents that were available, but for some reason editing the page caused the title of the ROTB charts section to become unbolded and unaligned. Do you know how to fix it, because I can’t seem to figure it out.

Nevermind! Cyberlink quickly fixed it and I observed the error that was corrected. [[User:Steampunk671213|Steampunk671213]] ([[User talk:Steampunk671213|talk]]) 11:29, 16 February 2025 (EST)

== New insignia icon ==

Hey, I noticed the TF Prime toyline page is currently using a Decepticon insignia instead of the Star Seeker one for Thundertron's toy and I also discovered that we didn't have a Star Seeker bulletpoint either., so I decided to give it a go making the bulletpoint myself, but I think I may have missed something somewhere in the coding as the image won't display on the [[Template:Bp-a1/doc]] page.

Would you possibly be able to give me a hand?

To make it easier to find, here is the template I made and the file I uploaded:
*[[Template:Bp-ss]]
*[[:File:StarSeekerbp.png]]

Thanks. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 06:48, 4 July 2021 (EDT)

==Privacy Policy==
Two weeks ago, I put a comment on our Privacy Policy's talk page. No one responded for the first week, so I put another. There has still been no response, so I think there may not be very many people watching it. I think the current policy definitely needs improvement and also needs to be adopted, so I'm contacting you since you were the last admin to make a comment on the page. If you could please give an opinion on its talk page, I'd greatly appreciate it. [[User:Hilfam|Hilfam]] ([[User talk:Hilfam|talk]]) 17:52, 13 September 2024 (EDT)
:I don't really have anything to add since the last time I commented on it. Other than the intro possibly needing a rewrite to be more po-faced, it's reasonably accurate. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 01:59, 14 September 2024 (EDT)
::Do I have the authority to edit it directly? I see what you mean by the intro needing a rewrite. [[User:Hilfam|Hilfam]] ([[User talk:Hilfam|talk]]) 13:59, 14 September 2024 (EDT)

== Insignias for the Thirteen ==

The upcoming AOTP Megatronus figure appears to use his personal insignia as his faction insignia on both the box and toy, so I was wondering if a set of bullet point insignias could be made for the Thirteen Primes since there’s definitely more figures of them to come that’ll use their insignias in place of, say, an Autobot or Decepticon one. (I’d make them, but I’ve got no clue how to do it, so I’m going to you.) - [[User:IGEBM13|IGEBM13]] ([[User talk:IGEBM13|talk]]) 23:12, 30 October 2024 (EDT)
:It's generally fairly easy. You'll need to upload some suitably sized insignias and then create some templates along the same line as [[Template:Bp-a1]] - you just need to change the class in the code to be unique. Then once that's done, I or another admin can add the necessary code to the style sheet. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:30, 31 October 2024 (EDT)
::Is there a specific code template or something I’m supposed use? (Still new to the site and learning the code and stuff lol) - [[User:IGEBM13|IGEBM13]] ([[User talk:IGEBM13|talk]]) 20:31, 31 October 2024 (EDT)
:::You can pretty much create new bullet point templates just by copying and pasting the code for, say, [[Template:Bp-d1]] into a new template and change the bit that says class="decepticong1" to something like class="megatronus". --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:40, 31 October 2024 (EDT)

== File:Estrela-Carrera.jpg ==
Hi, I believe you accidentally deleted the "Estrela-Carrera.jpg" file (which, per the filename, was just an image of the two variants of G1 Estrela Carrera / Cliffjumper that was currently in use on its respective page) a couple of days ago!
