Do you think they were killed by KSI and Attinger for their association with the autobots? or were they sanctioned by the government for their bravery and told to keep their mouths shut and if they ever come into contact with the autobots or a transformer again they would be visited by men in dark suits sorta thing.
I'm guessing they were given some other assignment. Lots of bad things still happening in the world that don't involve Decepticons.
Most of the government and the public were in the dark on what Attinger was doing. Everyone, including KSI, was under the impression the Autobots were being peacefully sent offworld and only the Decepticons were being brutally hunted.
Correct. Attinger said if they were exposed they are dead men. My guess the US government went on a purge of Decepticon collaborators. Treason is punishable by death. Killing Autobots , offering alien weapons tech to countries like China, working with Lockdown who may have been a Decepticon once it can be argued Attinger and his Cemetery Wind unit committed treason.
They would of been viewed as heroes for what they did in DotM. Chances are Lennox got a promotion and Epps would of picked another career. I think Nest got disbanded as the government probably felt it was inappropriate to have it still exist after a war broke out with the aliens that they were working with.
Probably Lennox moved on to another military thing (GI Joe LOL) while Epps is street racing in Florida. Seriously Lennox probably just got promoted and moved on thinking the Autobots went off world and Epps just got another job
On paper NEST got disbanded the moment the US congress decided to exile the Autobots despite world opinion not to. Congress never signed the treaty again as it would obligate the US not to develop TF weaponry. In AOE everybody is scrambling for left over Decepticon ships. Galloway always gave me the impression he was working for corporate interests which is why he is against the treaty. Attinger is a more extreme version. I feel sorry for Obama in the TF filmverse. He likes the Autobots but he is surrounded by either idiots or those with their own agenda. Makes him a lame duck president.
