Leo pointed out Alice to Sam as he was moving into the dorms at [[Princeton University]]. Leo explained to Sam that he had a thing for the bounteously endowed blonde, and he wanted to make sure Sam knew it so he didn't steal her away. Later that night, Leo had dragged Sam to a fraternity party, where the wayward Witwicky became engrossed in writing [[Cyberglyphics]] symbols in the cake frosting.

This caught Alice's eye, and she decided she simply ''had'' to strike up a conversation with the boy who'd just accidentally stuck frosting inside his ear. Though Sam protested against her rather forceful advances, she ignored his pleas until her attempt at seduction was interrupted by the timely arrival of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] on the [[Delta Fraternity|fraternity house's]] lawn. Sam appeared grateful for the reprieve until Alice invited herself for a ride. Bumblebee tried his best to warn Sam by monkey-wrenching her attempts at conversation with Sam during the ride, but eventually got frustrated and went the expedient route of dousing her in antifreeze. Alice got out and left in a huff. | ||

Later on, Alice made her way to Sam's dorm room to talk to him without the meddling yellow one around. En route she was engaged by Leo, who again proclaimed his desires for her and offered her a meat-laden pizza. She icily ignored him, finding the true object of her desires when the dorm room's door was opened to reveal Sam, who had covered every flat surface in it with Cyberglyphic symbols. Leo, figuring out what was to come next, asked if he could at least watch. Alice summarily shut the door in his face. Once again giving Sam the hard-sell, she forced him onto the bed and began probing his oral region with her tongue. Meanwhile, an entirely different probing appendage snaked out from beneath her skirt. Stealthily retracting the metallic tentacle when [[Mikaela Banes]] burst in, Alice waited until the human had left, and then proceeded to extrude it again and wrap it about Sam's neck, closing off his windpipe. Mikaela returned, hearing Sam's strangled cries, and dislodged Alice by throwing the toolbox containing [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] at her. Leo returned at this point, only to flee as Alice transformed into a robotic war machine! | Later on, Alice made her way to Sam's dorm room to talk to him without the meddling yellow one around.

| The name or term "Alice" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Alice (disambiguation). |
- Alice is a Decepticon Pretender from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the Movie continuity family.
Alice is the kind of girl you wish you met in college. She's pretty, has... prominent mammalian characteristics, is incredibly forward about what she wants, and lives next door to Leo Spitz and Sam Witwicky in Hamilton Hall. She's really interested in Sam. It's a bit suspicious, really; maybe she's just pretending?
How about tonight, you pretend I'm your girlfriend, and I pretend that you're my boyfriend?Alice, Revenge of the Fallen

"Honey, you got reeeeal ugly."
The Pretender was a crew member of the Nemesis. Soundwave disliked Pretenders, but deemed her a potentially necessary spy. Convergence chapter 1 In 1964, she killed and took the identity of Spetsnaz agent Alisa Morozov. The following year, her search for the AllSpark led to Soviet Research Station Oktober, where she killed many scientists and attempted to gain information as to the Cube's whereabouts from the treacherous American Joe Danco and his prisoner Bill Simmons. In the crossfire that followed, Danco died and Simmons escaped. Alisa informed Soundwave of what happened, adding she learned from another agent that the Soviet Union and United States both held a Cybertronian. She noticed one of the scientists she attacked, Voskhod, was still alive, and Soundwave requested she spare him, as he was potentially useful. Convergence chapter 2
Voskhod and Alisa came up with the cover story of a fire killing all those in the research station. When Soundwave located Simmons, she and Incinerator flew to New York City. They pursued Simmons, but Incinerator's explosives killed him. Convergence chapter 3 In 1979, Soundwave's crew began the return journey to the Nemesis. When they arrived, the Pretender asked if she could see the hatchlings in stasis aboard the ship. Soundwave had her put in stasis instead. Convergence chapter 4
After Alice kicked Leo out of his own dorm room so she could seduce Sam, Revenge of the Fallen #1 he watched some TV with his buddies Sharsky and Fassbinder.

Alice apparently survived being smashed to pieces and repaired herself, going on the run soon afterwards. It appears she became a little unstable (well, more unstable) and hijacked the motor home of a middle-aged couple, leading to her being pursued by NEST. Soundwave thought her alt-mode was "misguided," as he worried exposure to human culture would cause her to contract their "madness."
He had no qualms when Sideswipe ended the hijacking situation by impaling her and putting Alice out of everyone's misery.

Notes
[edit]
- Throughout pre-production, concept artist Ben Procter used this photo of Rachel Nichols, who plays Scarlett in the 2009 film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.[1]
- Alice having an outer organic form makes her a Pretender.[2]
- In the novel adaptation, Alice had a manufacturer's nameplate on her neck from the animatronic Alice she implicitly scanned.
- Also in the novel adaptation, while Alice was seducing Sam at the frat party she claimed to be from Orlando. Orlando is where Walt Disney World is located and would be a likely location of the Alice in Wonderland animatronic tour. She also claimed to have a boyfriend from there, who was a prince. Walt Disney World is also home to a number of princes. Finally, during the commercial where the animatronic Alice appears, "Mickey, the friendly mouse" is mentioned. Who said Revenge of the Fallen doesn't have a tight continuity?
- When Alice reveals her robotty bits, her human skin sort of folds away, presumably taking her clothing along with it, as when she reappears in human form, she's still fully dressed. On the other hand, she clearly changed clothes throughout the course of the film, which poses some interesting questions.
- While in robot mode, the tip of her tongue stays "organic". It's really disturbing.
- Alice isn't the only Transformer with a human alt-mode.
- Alice's transformation alone took 3 months to make![3]
