Sector Seven
Sector 7 is a secret government agency. It is so secret, it has its own secret website. It's sooo secret it requires a retinal scan if you tip the password wrong, or a page refresh in last resort. Sector seven is so seeecret that they have to use mundane video or obviousless advertisement to transmit their passwords. It's so secreeet no one knows how is made their building's last two levels, not even the janitor.
They study psychopathic robots and analyze strange messages sent from space by cowboys.
History
 Spoiler warning: Plot details follow. of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner |
It was founded by seven guys. A pizza boy got inside, once.
- 1969 - Sector 7, headed by Walter Simmons (known internally as "The Old Man"), attempted the first test flight of an Megatron (Movie) derived spacecraft (Ghost 1) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside a likewise mysterious "alien cube". Signs seemed to point to Sector 7 begining to shift from being a secret US millitary opperation to a non-millitary-alliegned deep "black ops" program.[1]

Real World
The Sector Seven website is an alternate reality game website. As time has gone on, there have been different passwords that open up different and more advanced areas of the website. The various story elements so far include:
- An experiment on the Allspark itself that created a lifeform that almost escaped. The Allspark was used on low-power but the resulting life-form's near escape and murder of a Sector Seven scientist means these experiemnts on the Allspark have been put on hold.
- Scientists within Sector Seven arguing with the military that contact should be made with "NBE Two" (Optimus Prime) to form an Alliance. The military is refusing to listen to such suggestions.
- A mysterious "Agent X" is hacking their system and 'leaking' the information to us. Agent X could be a rogue Sector Seven member as he insinuates, but the popular theory is that he is a Decpeticon; possibly Barricade or Frenzy.
- Actual email addresses exist and fans are bombarding the addresses. Some have received replies along the lines of "Keep watching" and "Follow The Cube."
- There have been four passwords thus far, but the second was removed after an apparent "hack" by Agent X. As time goes on, the site will presumably reveal more content and plot line surrounding the movie.
- The casting of Hugo Weaving as Megatron was "revealed" through the website. Sector 7 agent H. Weaving convinced S.S., M.B., R.O., and A.K. to put him in charge of the "Megaman issue." Sector 7 ARG
In the Sector 7 ARG, Transformers (2007) and all related fiction, materials, and promotional materials are actually a counter-information campaign, designed to discredit leaks and cover up the existance of N.B.E.s by presenting the facts about them as fictional events. It is suggested that Generation 1 was a similar campaign.
