He's on fire!

Sergeant Epps and the other soldiers in Captain Lennox's US Army Ranger squad were returning to SOCCENT Forward Operations Base after some hard duty. When Lennox revealed that he wanted to go home to see his baby girl more than anything else, Epps joined in with the men in teasing their commander. As night fell, a mysterious MH-53 helicopter arrived at the base, and after being surrounded by dozens of troops, it suddenly transformed into a giant robot which proceeded to attack the base. Epps ran and ordered other soldiers to ready combat stations as they were under attack. The giant robot narrowly missed crushing him as he used his digital recorder to take footage of the strange machine. Fellow soldier Figueroa saved Epps by firing a sabot round at the robot, which allowed Epps to escape. Epps linked up with the rest of Lennox's team and the Captain's little buddy Mahfouz and high-tailed it out of the exploding base.

10 LEFT CHEEK!: 20 GOTO 10

The next morning, the survivors discussed the previous night's events, with Epps sharing with them the images he captured, as well as theorizing that the weapons platform was generating some sort of force field. Sergeant Patrick Donnelly expressed disbelief at this. Epps then shared the unnerving feeling that as he was recording the thing, it stared right back at him, causing an ominous silence to settle among the group. Later that day, as they made their way to local boy Mahfouz's village, Epps spotted a giant metal spike coming out of the sand aimed at Lennox's back and began firing wildly into the sand. After Sergeant Donnelly was impaled and killed by the robotic scorpion, the rest of the men ran for their lives to the cover of the village. Lennox managed to borrow a cell phone from Akram, Mahfouz's father, and asked for Epps's wallet for a credit card to make the call. In between firing rounds from his rifle, Epps barked that it was in his back pocket, prompting Lennox to protest that he had ten back pockets. Epps loudly clarified it was his left-cheek back pocket.

BRING IT!

When contact when the Pentagon was established, Epps coordinated with the E-3 Sentry AWACS plane to give orders for the incoming A-10 Thunderbolt IIs of Strike Package Bravo, indicating the target area killbox one-alpha with orange flares and laser guidance markers. As the A-10s arrived to provide air support, he gave them clearance to fire by shouting, "Bring it!" When their weapons completely failed to dent Scorponok, Epps called upon the biggest barrels the Air Force had: the 105 millimeter cannons of an AC-130 Spectre gunship. This was signaled with a shout of "Bring the rain!" The resulting fusillade pounded Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dove underground, but not before leaving part of its damaged tail behind.

In the aftermath of combat with Scorponok, Epps and the rest of Lennox's Spec Ops team were ordered home to American soil by Secretary of Defense John Keller, who had thought everyone at the SOCCENT base was massacred. They took the end of Scorponok's tail with them on the flight. Doing their own analysis of the piece of robot body, they discovered that its metallic skin didn't regenerate where hit by sabot rounds, which Epps confirmed were "something like" a 6000-degree magnesium burn. They called the Pentagon again, telling them all gunships had to be loaded with sabot rounds to fight these things.

Later, Epps and the team landed at Nellis Air Force Base. Instead of them being debriefed on site, a guy from Sector Seven grabbed one of their bags and ordered them to come with him. This was confusing, since Sector Seven didn't exist.

Epps was not ready for the hypnotic powers of Glenn Whitmann's hand.

Epps and the team were driven to Hoover Dam, where they stood around looking awesome in their fatigues as other people who knew about the alien robots arrived. Everyone filed inside Hoover Dam, where Sector Seven had been hiding the leader of the evil alien invaders and the AllSpark for 80 years. Upon seeing a thick steel door with triple claw marks in it, Epps pondered whether Freddy Krueger had been in there. A geek pointed out that Freddy Krueger got four claws—that was Wolverine! Shortly thereafter, a kid got in an argument with Seymour Simmons of Sector Seven over whether or not to release the good alien robot who'd been disguised as a Camaro. Lennox attempted to settle the argument by putting his sidearm to Simmons' chest, and Epps backed up his Commanding Officer in the geometrically complex standoff that ensued. When Simmons ordered them to stand down under S7 jurisdiction, Epps pointedly reminded Simmons that S7 didn't exist. They won. Losing wasn't really an option for these guys.

Ready, once again, to BRING IT!

While everyone was still inside Hoover Dam, the Decepticons attacked, knocking out power. All communications were dead as the giant evil robot leader thawed out. After calling the Air Force with Morse code, the only thing left to do was get the All Spark to Mission City, where it could be hidden in the urban jungle until the military arrived to evacuate it by helicopter. Epps complained when handed a couple of very large shortwave radios that they were "Radio Shack dinosaur radios, won't be able to work more than 20 miles." His group then stopped after spotting an F-22 Raptor, which turned out to be alien and unfriendly.

Epps gave their location to some Blackhawk helicopters, but the humans came under attack from a Decepticon tank. As the Autobots attacked the tank, Epps and the rest of the team scrambled to provide support fire and clear the area. Epps instructed the 'copters to pick Sam and the All Spark up from the top of a nearby building. Meanwhile, Epps's group continued to fight the tank from the cover of a shop. They narrowly escaped death when that robot Camaro zipped in on the back of a tow truck and saved them all.

Approaching the fight between the big truck robot and the evil robot leader, they encountered the helicopter robot that had killed their comrades in Qatar. After Epps called in the fighter jets, he used a laser marker on the 'copter 'con, only for it to notice him, and he had to evade its weapons until Lennox shot it dead. The team then took part in an attack on the evil robot leader which ended in the kid killing it with the All Spark. Transformers

"You read the script?"
"Yeah, man, my dialogue is mostly just one-liners this time around. Ugh."

Two years after the battle in Mission City, Epps had joined NEST, and was promoted to the rank of USAF Master Sergeant. Epps was deployed to Shanghai, China to follow a lead on the Decepticons Demolishor and Sideways. Sideways was pursued and dispatched by the newest Autobot arrivals, but Demolishor had escaped the soldiers. Epps called in Big Buddha, to be air-dropped in, and the Autobot leader conquered Demolishor with ease.

Upon return to NEST HQ at Diego Garcia, the liaison to the President, Theodore Galloway, made his very negative position towards the Autobots very clear. Galloway also made it clear he didn't give a damn to whatever defense the soldiers testified, which disgruntled Epps particularly.

"And then you'll tell him 'GET OFF MY PLANE' right before you kick him off!"

Epps' tension towards Galloway only grew stronger after Optimus Prime was killed by the resurrected Megatron: the Decepticon leader's master, The Fallen, came to Earth in full force, killing thousands, and threatening to wreak further havoc should the humans not turn over Sam Witwicky. In response, Galloway returned and declared NEST deactivated, taking Lennox's badge, and ordering the Autobots deported to Diego Garcia. However, sometime later, Epps and Lennox received a phone call from Seymour Simmons, who through clues revealed Sam had the means to revive Optimus in Egypt. Epps was dubious that they could do so, but Lennox was more certain.

An image of two military guys that will take vast precedence over pretty much any shots of the titular characters in the promotional material.

NEST packed up and flew to over the Atlantic, where, much to Epps' delight, they had Galloway thrown out of the plane. NEST airdropped into Egypt, and Epps pondered disbelief at the fact Sam could revive Prime. After some time, a signal flare to Sam's group caught the attention of the Decepticons, who decided to attack NEST in a massive firefight.

Sorry man, I was up all night playing Wii Bowling, didn't have the strength for it.

During the battle, Epps and Lennox finally met up with Sam and Mikaela, and got the Air Force to carpet bomb the area, killing all Decepticons. Unfortunately, Epps had a bad throw, and the marking smoke where the air strike was to hit was right where they were. Epps and the others made a mad dash to NEST's location, but Megatron broke through the offense, and seemingly killed Sam. However, the boy lived, and revived Optimus with the Matrix of Leadership. Epps bore witness to his subsequent battle and defeat of The Fallen, and congratulated Simmons and Sam's friend for their efforts in helping them fight the Decepticons. Revenge of the Fallen

Robert Epps's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," "Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel" and "The Last Prime"; the "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation" and "Movie Trilogy" comics; and the storybooks "Operation Autobot," and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match."

Why are you helping me?{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:|{{{2}}}{{#if:|, {{{3}}}|}}|}}

At some point after 2009, Epps quit being a soldier of NEST, and was offered a position working on the Xantium at a NASA launch site. He worked along with the three Wreckers, Leadfoot, Roadbuster and Topspin, whom he would often run interference for their abrasive nature towards other workers.

"How many scenes did we share in the last two?"
"Little to none."
"Alrighty then."

When the turncoat Sentinel Prime demanded humanity to exile the Autobots, Epps helped to prepare the Autobot ship for launch. He greeted Sam Witwicky warmly, but was weirded out by his strange behavior. He then witnessed the Autobots leave aboard the Xantium, and their supposed annihilation from that alien F-22 they encountered at Mission City and Egypt. In the event's aftermath, Epps heard that Sam was planning on rescuing his girlfriend Carly Spencer from Dylan Gould, the Decepticon liaison who was holding her captive in Chicago. Wanting to get at the guy who had helped kill his pals, Epps decided to go with Sam, and gathered a few friends who had worked with him in NEST and they headed to Chicago.

But when Epps and the others arrived at the Decepticon controlled Chicago, he thought it would have been impossible to rescue her after witnessing the Decepticon's fortification, and attempted to convince Sam that they didn't stand a chance. They were then attacked by a Decepticon fighter, which was brought down by Optimus Prime and the Wreckers. As the rest of the Autobots arrived, they revealed that they had known the Decepticons would never let them go or leave Earth alone and so had hid in a booster rocket that disengaged before the ship was destroyed. Once they had infiltrated the city and Carly had been rescued, Epps managed to get a message through a crashed military drone of the Decepticons' scheme to bring Cybertron into Earth's solar system. He then came up with a plan to destroy the control pillar with a rocket shot from a high building while the Autobots attacked the Decepticons.

Epps and the others made it into a tall building, but before the rocket could be launched, Decepticon fighters began firing at the skyscraper, causing it to tilt, and a Decepticon protoform came in looking for them. Escaping by jumping out of the window and sliding down to a lower floor, the group's presence was discovered by Shockwave. As the "evil thing" sent his pet Driller to finish the building, Epps complained that Decepticons always got the best stuff and ordered his group to try and escape. After their tower slammed into another, Epps and the others escaped as Optimus arrived and killed the Driller. They began rushing toward the building with the pillars, which had started to activate, but Epps and his men were separated from Sam and Carly, which Epps noted had been Eddie's responsibility.

They soon met up with Lennox and a large force of soldiers, and once the bridges had been lowered helped join in the attack. Epps and his team lay in wait as the NEST forces began attacking Shockwave and his forces, and once he was weakened enough Epps ordered his men to open fire on Shockwave, helping to severely damage him. As he and the others attacked the remaining Decepticons and the Space bridge process was stalled by Optimus's attack on the control pillar. As Gould reactivated the Pillar, Epps and the other soldiers were unable to help Sam as they fought, being too busy with the remaining Decepticon forces. But once Sam had killed Gould, Epps, Lennox and the other soldiers arrived, and Epps called for Bumblebee and Ratchet, who destroyed the pillar, causing the partially-formed Cybertron to collapse in on itself.

After Optimus had killed Sentinel Prime and Megatron, Epps then joined the Autobots as they stood as heroes for saving the world. Dark of the Moon

IDW comics

[edit]

Shortly after the battle in Mission City, Epps and the rest of Lennox's men became acquainted with the good robots known as the Autobots, in particular the gruff soldier Ironhide, while they hunted rogue AllSpark Mutations. After the creatures had been destroyed, Epps found an abandoned trailer Optimus 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. Just before the Autobots left, Epps was surprised to find Optimus had a driver sitting in his seat. He thought the holographic projection suited Prime perfectly. After they left, Agent Simmons of Sector Seven showed up, wanting to know the details of the battle and offering them a place within the organisation. Epps let Lennox do the talking, but their excuse was ruined when Sam Witwicky called Epps's phone, letting Simmons know the Autobots had escaped. Simmons convinced Lennox and Epps to request the assistance of the Autobots in transporting the Decepticon corpses to their naval yards for disposal. A month later, Epps and Lennox had a secret meeting with Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Ironhide. Epps asked where Bumblebee was, and Optimus told him Bumblebee was continuing to act as Sam's guardian. The Autobots also mentioned having been followed by a police car, which Lennox suggested might have been Barricade. Lennox then informed Prime that the Decepticons' remains were about to be dumped into the ocean, and they wanted the Autobots to escort the transport. Alliance #1

Now members of Sector Seven, Epps and Lennox oversaw the transportation of the Decepticon bodies from the base in Nevada to the San Diego US Navy base where they would be taken to the ocean and dumped. When everyone was ready, Epps got the caravan rolling. During the journey, Optimus had second thoughts about leaving the surviving AllSpark fragment with Sector Seven, so Epps was sent with Bumblebee and Ironhide back to the Nevada base to retrieve it. When they got there, the base was leveled by Starscream and a Decepticon named Wreckage. When Starscream opened fire on Epps and another soldier, Bumblebee protected them and just before Starscream could finish them off, he receives a communication from Soundwave, and Starscream then left. Epps later helped carrying the wounded to safety. Alliance #2

Two weeks later, Epps and the others were on board an aircraft carrier where they laid Jazz to rest and disposed of the Decepticons. Optimus asked if the location was secure, and Epps assured him that nothing on Earth could reach the Decepticon remains, and he was certain that anything not from Earth couldn't reach them either. 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. Alliance #3

During the flight, Epps asked Lennox if there was something troubling him, and Lennox explained that two Decepticons had been spotted in the city, but thankfully, there was no mention of robots, so they must be in vehicle mode, but Lennox wondered how their team could do this without drawing attention from bystanders.

After returning to Diego Garcia, Epps meets up with Lennox, who tells him something's going on out there. Epps said they're ready for anything, but Lennox questions this, saying that for all their training, the mission didn't go so well. Epps thinks it could have been worse, but Lennox says that it might get worse, especially with Bumblebee leaving the team to once again guard Sam. Epps is upset, saying that they can't lose team members that came from another planet; Lennox agrees.

During a mission in the Middle East, Epps mourned over the loss of fellow soldier Salani. Alliance #4

Epps was present when Optimus was chastised by Morshower over Sideswipe's reckless endangerment of human lives. Tales of the Fallen #2

When Alice stole an RV, Epps was part of the NEST team that brought her rampage to a stop. Nefarious #1 Galloway chewed out Lennox over another NEST operation, and Epps felt compelled to point out Galloway was a civilian giving orders in a military operation. Galloway promptly retorted that at least he recognized the chain of command. Epps and Lennox subsequently had a moment of disbelief when Galloway announced NEST was being stood down. Nefarious #2 Epps was part of the NEST team which responded to Galloway's distress call and rescued him from Ransack. They visited Hoover Dam to find the Initiative had already been there. Nefarious #4 Soundwave led the NEST team to the Initiative base in Oregon. A battle ensued which Epps presumably took part in. Nefarious #5 NEST won! Nefarious #6

Later, Epps accompanied a group of Autobots on a mission to halt Decepticons trafficking weapons to Earth's human populace. He was assigned to "bring the rain" if things got hairy, and things did just that. He fired at Divebomb as the Decepticon was duking it out with Mudflap. The Autobots were able to wrap up the situation, and as they were clearing out, Epps told Lennox that they were both getting too old for this line of work. Rising Storm #1 When Sam called in that he was being attacked by a group of Decepticons, after the Brain Unit that he had stumbled onto, Epps was deployed to help with the situation. Rising Storm #2 Epps's group arrived in Philadelphia just in time to rescue Sam from being killed by Starscream's hand. Rising Storm #3 Epps reiterated his desire to retire from field work as found himself once more in the middle of a battleground between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Though they managed to send the Decepticons fleeing once more, Epps officially resigned from NEST in the battle's aftermath.Rising Storm #4

The Veiled Threat

[edit]

Epps traveled to Diego Garcia on the Pearl of India with Lennox, Ironhide and Ratchet, and was amused when Somali pirates attempted to attack them. He was extremely impressed with Kaminari Ishihara's credentials. While storing some energon, he inquired of Ironhide what would happen if it exploded, and was told that not much of India would be left. After Decepticon activity was reported in Zambia, a NEST team including Epps went there to investigate. As the Autobots fought Macerator, Payload and Dropkick in the Zambezi river, Lennox and Epps attempted to shoot the Decepticons with a modified stinger missile launcher loaded with sabot rounds. They didn't get to use it, as Lennox realized the fight was a trap to drag the Autobots over the Victoria Falls. After that battle, Epps used his laptop to track the Decepticons as they moved to attack a dam downstream, allowing the Autobots to move in and try to stop them. Lennox, Epps and Petr Andronov found a dam technician whom they got to release the dam's emergency release, relieving the pressure on the dam and washing Payload away.

Back at Diego Garcia, Epps proudly showed off the hi-tech weapon he was working on to Ironhide, only to be disappointed by the Autobot's response, but he subsequently learned more about how the Autobots created their weaponry. Decepticon activity was detected in Peru, and Epps proceeded there with Andronov, Longarm and Knockout. With the help of local NEST contact Lieutenant Pierre Morales, they settled in, though Epps shouldn't have accepted Morales's invitation to go dining, as cuí turned out to mean roast guinea pig. The next morning on a mountain road, they encountered Blademaster and Ruination. During the fight, Epps was knocked off the side of the mountain by an explosion, but Longarm saved him from a fatal plummet. As Blademaster was subsequently about to terminate Knockout, Epps hit the Decepticon with a sabot round from his launcher and, with some help from Andronov's experimental weapon, Blademaster plunged off the side. After Ruination retreated as well, the team headed back to Cuzco for hot showers.

During the debrief at Diego Garcia, Epps suggested that maybe the US Constitution could be changed so Optimus could run for president, but Lennox pointed out Optimus wasn't US-born. The Autobots were lured to Rome, where Starscream challenged Optimus to a one-on-one duel. It turned out to be a trap, of course, and Starscream left Optimus to Barricade's tender mercies. Luckily Epp, Lennox, Ishihara and Andronov were around to distract Barricade by attacking him, allowing Prime to gain the upper hand, and the four humans escaped the Colosseum via a subway.

[edit]
It's not fun when someone else brings it, is it?

With Lennox and his crew searching for Seekers, Epps was left with only Bumblebee to help him investigate an attack on Malmstrom Air Force Base and the disappearance of Optimus. Checking the base inventory, he found out an electromagnetic bomb had been stolen; linking that to the detonation at the Rockies that NEST had detected, he and Bumblebee tracked Prime down to the compound of the sinister Free Men militia. (Poor Epps had to ride in Bumblebee jumping a ravine, and almost spewed up his breakfast) After locating Prime, Epps and Bumblebee hit the Free Men compound hard, swiftly defeating the militia. Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime

He later served with Lennox and the Navy in a sting operation. He loudly said he hated sneaky stuff and they couldn't be sure anyway that the Decepticon would turn up and take their bait. Right after that, of course, the Decepticon turned up! Making Waves

His final NEST mission was pursuing Soundwave through a blizzard with Bumblebee and Prime. Unfortunately, their intelligence that Soundwave was injured had been faked by the 'Con himself: realising this was a trap, Epps called for help and was told to hold position before the enemy opened fire. He survived with a broken arm only because Bumblebee put himself between himself and the shot. Shaken by his failure, he resigned. Dealing with the Devil

Epps was used to mentoring young soldiers so he was put in charge of mentoring untrained, raw Autobots. First he was put in the charge of the loner Sideswipe, tasked him to teach him to be a team player. The two have become good friends and Sideswipe is now more dangerous than ever. The poor git then had to train Skids in the ways of war on Earth; even there he became friends with his charge as they both love beating up 'cons! Sideswipe / Tech.

Epps is a little human figure that comes with Human Alliance Sideswipe. He has a wide range of motion, can ride Sideswipe's robot- and alt-modes, and is compatible with the other Human Alliance sets. Because of his sculpting and uniform, his torso looks tiny. (One could say he might just have pulled his pants waaaaay up.)

Dark of the Moon Human Alliance Epps is a retool of the 2010 Transformers series Human Alliance Captain Lennox figure with a new head and articulated hands. This better proportionate mold is included with Skids and Elita-1. He can be placed inside in Skids's vehicle mode, plugging into either of his seats via a small hole in his back. In robot mode, Skids's seats end up on his arms, and Epps can still sit in either of them; Skids's right arm also features a spring-loaded missile launcher that can rotate into place in front of the seat, with flip-up firing conrols for Epps to take charge of. Epps can also stand on a platform in the small of Skids's back (via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing minigun that flips out over the top of Skids's head. Skids's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Epps can securely stand or sit in his hand. Finally, Epps can also ride Elita-1 in motorcycle mode. This mold with a different head and different hands was used as Major Tungsten.
