 Spoiler warning: Plot details follow. of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner |
Captain Lennox was one of the survivors of Blackout's attack at SOCCENT Forward Operations Base. He and the other survivors were later attacked by Scorponok when they reached a local village. As the others fought off Scorponok, Lennox attempted to call for help from the Pentagon, but had more than a little trouble with the operator. He's never using that company again.
After arriving at Hoover Dam, he and his unit meet with Secretary of Defense John Keller, and are taken to see the Iceman. When the Iceman begins to thaw, he and his unit head for the armory. When Sam Witwicky askes Agent Simmons to free a good robot, Simmons refuses to listen, until Lennox gets him to listen—by putting a gun to his chest, telling Simmons he and his men don't take orders from people who don't exist. Lennox and his men subsequently escort Sam and the car to Mission City, meeting other good robots enroute.
Lennox totally kills Blackout dead by the time honored method of:
- Getting on a motorcycle
- Jumping off the motorcycle as it slams into the enemy
- Sliding under his opponent.
- Shooting them in the crotch with sabot rounds until they are dead.
- Going "woo-hoo", "yee-ha", or another exclamation of success.
His final action in the battle of Mission City was to shoot a sabot round in the chest of Megatron, offering an opening to Sam to ram the Allspark in his chest, thus allowing the victory.
After the deaths of the Decepticons, Ironhide gave him a ride home, where he was reunited with his wife and met his newborn daughter.
Trivia

Footnotes
