	Two years later, when the Decepticons launched an invasion of [[Earth]], once again they caused a communications blackout that blinded the hierarchy of the US military. While the Autobot-human alliance [[NEST]] fought the Decepticons at the base of the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], General [[Morshower]] and the NEST support team at the [[Pentagon]] sent [[United States Air Force#MQ-1 Predator\|a UAV drone]] to investigate just what was going on in [[Egypt]]. Upon discovering that a massive battle was underway, Morshower authorized the use of [[Operation: Firestorm]], a full-scale attack on the Decepticons using elements of the [[United States Air Force\|Air Force]], Navy and Marine Corps. The Marines disembarked on the Egyptian shore via LCAC hovercraft and ''very quickly'' arrived at NEST's position in an abandoned Egyptian town, providing sorely needed manpower and armored support.
