It was a very bad day for Colonel Sharp when a mysterious helicopter entered his command's airspace and refused to identify itself. Things got even worse when it turned out the helicopter was 4500X, which had been shot down over Afghanistan three months ago. By the time the base's radar was jammed, Sharp was at the limits of his patience, and he ordered the crew of the helicopter to step out or be shot. And everything pretty much went to hell when said helicopter transformed into a colossal robot and rampaged across the air base, tossing tanks and jets into the air.
When the giant robot began trying to download top-secret military data, Sharp physically cut the lines to the server with a fire ax, thus preventing the invader from getting all the data it was after.
Sharp and most of the rest of those stationed at SOCCENT were presumed to have been killed. Transformers (2007)
