Air Force One

Air Force One is the air traffic control callsign for any United States Air Force aircraft with the President of the United States on board. It has an impressive pantry with all the President's favorite snacks. It also is prone to hijinks involving small robots getting on board to shut down the entire United States Defense Grid. It's useful like that.

[edit]
In the aftermath of the attack on SOCCENT Forward Operations Base in Qatar, the President was flying in Air Force One to an unknown destination. During the trip, he asked Tracy to "wrangle me up some Ding Dongs". At the same time, Frenzy, who had smuggled himself aboard the plane, quickly checked out the paper of the guy he was under. Concluding that it had no information on the AllSpark's location, he made his way to elevator which would take him to the storage area. Quickly shifting back to radio mode, Tracy assumed he was a radio that was supposed to be moved below. Setting him down, Tracy got some Ding Dongs, but one rolled out on the floor...and she tried it. Quickly declaring it gross, she left.
Now alone, Frenzy made his way to computer terminals on board Air Force One. Although startled by a noise, Frenzy quickly hacked into the system, beginning a simultaneous upload of a virus and download of all information relating to Sector Seven. His actions were discovered by Maggie Madsen in the Pentagon, and she quickly alerted her superiors and recommended that they cut the hardlines. Frenzy was just finishing up when the hardlines were cut, leaving him with only information on the Witwicky man who had seen their language. Some Secret Service agents made their way down to the cargo hold, and Frenzy quickly dispatched two of them, then hid in plain sight as the other searched for the intruder. Air Force One immediately landed at the nearest airport, which Barricade was waiting to pick up Frenzy. Frenzy then walked across the tarmac behind some Secret Service guards and quickly slipped into Barricade. Transformers

[edit]Air Force One was attacked somewhere over California by Starscream, who gassed the President and its entire crew before taking it to the Grand Canyon. Starscream recorded a ransom message on the black box for Optimus Prime and left it somewhere where the humans would find it. Unfortunately it turned out that after listening to the message, the Autobots had other ideas, and rescued both the President and her plane. The crew came around to confusion over how they had ended up at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. All the President's 'Bots!
