In an interview, Ben Simpson is quick to disavow any link to Bumblebee's assassin, and even questions the use of the term "assassin", as it's not clear to him whether the Cybertronians are even alive. The reporter follows up by pointing out that Joe Gladki's wife has already told the media that Gladki (the shooter) had been spending a great deal of time on Earth's Children's message boards in recent weeks. Simpson plays it off, saying you can't hold his group responsible for who visits an open forum. When asked whether the somewhat reactionary rhetoric of the group could have been an influence. Simpson is unsure how non-violent protests of the US government colluding with extraterrestrial robots can be seen as reactionary. He is then questioned about allegations that Earth's Children is supplying powerful weaponry to its members. Ben states that they are doing nothing illegal (though pending legislation that may change that). Ben asks what use the government is if it won't let its people protect themselves from invaders from space. Revenge of the Decepticons Part 1: "The Demolished Man"
