Fiction

Revenge of the Fallen

After realizing that Devastator was trying to get to the solar harvester inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, Seymour Simmons took a radio from a downed Jordanian helicopter and managed to contact the U.S.S. John C. Stennis. Speaking with Captain Wilder, Simmons informed the Captain of Devastator's presence, and said that the rail gun would be the only weapon capable of taking out Devastator. After Wilder said that the rail gun's existence was classified, Simmons screamed not to talk to him about classified and told him to relay a ready order to the properly equipped ship. Wilder contacted the U.S.S. Kidd and got them linked to Simmons frequency. After Simmons relayed the coordinates, the personnel on the Kidd aimed and fired the rail gun. The weapon struck Devastator and instantly severed his right arm, causing him to lose his balance and fall from the top of the pyramid to his death below. Revenge of the Fallen

Notes

• In the specifics about the rail gun being based on studies of Megatron comes from the novelization. However, in the novel, the rail gun was located on the Zumwalt, not the Kidd. Additionally, Wilder was captain of the Theodore Roosevelt, not the John C. Stennis.
