Transformers: Beginnings
In a former Cold War bunker in New Mexico, Sector Seven prepared their trap for Bumblebee, using an artificial isotope made to give off the same sort of energy signature as the All Spark. Two days after Sector Seven set up their trap, Bumblebee was sighted in the area, with Barricade in pursuit. Just as Sector Seven realized that the "local law enforcement" was actually "N.B.E.-3", Blackout showed up and attacks the bunker, soon joined by Starscream. Blackout quickly discovered that the real All Spark was not in the bunker, but also figured that the humans must know where the real All Spark is if they were able to simulate his energy signature. As he tried to hack into Sector Seven's database, Agent Simmons ordered his people to cut the connection to the S7 mainframe.
