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. Stennis, the man in turn identified himself as Agent Simmons of Sector Seven, and said that the mother of all non-biologicals destroying the Great Pyramid of Giza in an attempt to blow up the Sun. 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. Convinced that Simmons was at least credible, Wilder ordered his crew to contact the U.S.S. Kidd. Thanks to his taking Simmons seriously, Devastator was destroyed by the Kidd. Revenge of the Fallen

Captain L. W. Wilder’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”

Notes

• Wilder's initials come from the novelization, where he identified himself as captain of the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt (and was credited as such in the film). The ship in the film was changed to the Stennis, which was the ship used in filming Revenge, with the Roosevelt being the ship The Fallen and the Decepticons sink after Optimus Prime's death.
