Fiction
Prime cartoon
A MECH helicopter containing Silas shot down William Fowler, who was transporting the Dynamic Nuclear Generation System in a jet. Fowler, believing the attackers were Decepticons, contacted the Autobots to assist in transporting the D.N.G.S. As the Autobots transported the D.N.G.S. in Optimus Prime's trailer, MECH sent the helicopter along with a troop of cars to take the D.N.G.S. The drivers of the cars quickly revealed themselves to be quite human, and Optimus Prime told the other Autobots to maintain their cover of being civilian vehicles. Silas personally contacted Fowler, informing the agent of MECH's intentions to steal the device. Despite a close call, the Autobots escaped into a train tunnel, hidden from MECH's view. Inside, the D.N.G.S. was transferred to a train. Once the convoy left the tunnel, Vehicons sent by Starscream managed to blow up Prime's trailer, only to detect no radiation. Soon after, the Autobots were forced into robot mode when cornered to take advantage of the confusion. Silas remarked that rumors of such alien robots were true and deduced the actual location of the D.N.G.S. With this realization, he sent the helicopter after the train. The helicopter managed to land on the train, only to be scared into retreat by the arriving Optimus Prime. To refuse MECH's enemy their prize, Silas destroyed a section of the railroad ahead, forcing Optimus Prime to forcefully stop the train. He succeeded, and Silas congratulated the visitor, warning him that MECH would eventually learn what makes the alien robots tick. Convoy
MECH's next operation concerning the Transformers was to lure some of them to Kamchatka Peninsula in Eastern Russia, allowing MECH to capture Breakdown. They took him to a nearby abandoned railway tunnel where they set about starting to disassemble him. Silas had the Decepticon's right eye removed to act as a lure to any rescuers. It succeeded in drawing Optimus Prime's team into a trap, however Bulkhead broke into the makeshift MECH base, scattering the defenders and rescuing Breakdown. The pair emerged from the tunnel to face the bulk of the MECH forces, but were able to hold the humans off long enough for Starscream to arrive and force MECH into a retreat. Despite this drawback, MECH had been able to extract enough information that Silas could initiate Project Chimera. Operation: Breakdown
A distress call led Silas's MECH team to try and capture another Decepticon, but they encountered Airachnid, who cut a deal with them: if Silas could find Jack Darby for her, she would give them Arcee. Once Silas located more information about Jack online, some MECH goons kidnapped Jack's mother, June Darby, and took her to a temporary MECH base in an abandoned Jasper factory. Once Jack and Arcee were successfully lured there, thanks to a MECH communicator, the MECH surgeons set about readying Arcee for "surgery". Though she escaped, knocking down a bunch of the MECH guys in the process, Silas was able to observe Airachnid scanning a helicopter. Crisscross
Notes
- The chartreuse cars MECH agents drive appear to be based on Chevrolet Corvettes, circa 1980.
