Fiction
Titan Magazines Transformers movie comics
Allen was the Vice President in the administration before the Transformers started openly warring on Earth.
Following the liberation of America, he became the de facto leader of the government and held decidedly anti-Transformer views. To him, both sides had launched a covert invasion of Earth that led to the conquest and devastation of America, and he did not trust the Autobots to have America's best interests at heart. As a result, he turned down Tom Banachek's requests to open dialogue with the robots. Aftermath Part 1
Despite this, when NATO forces—with their commander under Decepticon mental control—began firing on the Autobots at the Savannah civilian shelter, Allen contacted NATO to have the attack called off to avoid human casualties.
Following this, Allen was officially made the President of the nation. At some point, however, he'd been implanted with a Decepticon control chip... Aftermath Part 2
The All Spark-caused techno-organic apocalypse forced Allen into dialogue with Optimus Prime. Made aware of the threat to Earth, Allen tasked Sector Seven to keep a lid on this so Humanity didn't lose all morale. Dark Spark The threat left him pissed off with the Autobots, however, when their promised team of specialists turned out to be unable to stop the crisis and Optimus needed to be pushed into working with human geologist teams. Return to Cybertron: Part 1
The Decepticons then had him summon Mikaela Banes to the Oval Office so she could have a chip implanted in her head, giving the Decepticons access to the Autobots... Return to Cybertron: Part 2
That resulted in a Decepticon conquest of the six hundred square miles around the Autobot base Return to Cybertron: Part 4 and when the Autobots returned to Earth, Allen set up a one-on-one meeting with Optimus so as to lure him into an ambush by a hired gun. This failed and Allen denied ever setting up the meeting, which shockingly the Autobots didn't believe. Hard Target
As part of a plan, the Decepticons initiated a wave of terrorist attacks across the States, so that Allen could get Congress to vote in the eviction of all Autobot forces from the nation in the hope of appeasing the enemy. Once the Autobots actually set off, Allen had a nuclear missile fired at their ship—seemingly killing them all... Revolution Part 1
The Decepticons attacked in force the next day, and Allen did his part by refusing to sanction any armed response. Revolution Part 2
It was all for naught, as the Autobots (being not-dead) decisively defeated the Decepticons. Tom Banachek and Mikaela are now working to de-brainwash Allen and all the other puppets. Revolution Part 3
Notes
- It's not yet clear whether Theodore Allen's control chip was activated just recently, or if he's been directly under mental control for some time.
- The constant changes in artists are not kind to him.
- Allen inherited the Presidency but has not been elected. Of course, since the 25th amendment to the Constitution states that the Vice President officially becomes President upon the death, resignation or removal of the prior President, it's legal.
