Roy Thompson
From Transformers Wiki
- Roy Thompson is a human from the live-action film continuity family.
Roy Thompson is a Sector Seven agent. He has very old-fashioned views on women, which is a bit surprising given at least two of the women he's met are more than capable of looking after themselves.
Fiction
IDW Transformers movie prequel comics
As a young man in 1913, Roy was a part of Theodore Wells's Beta Command team at the AllSpark dig, along with Lou and Herbert Hoover. Wells introduced them to Walter Simmons shortly before they ventured into a cave hidden underneath the cube. There they encountered Jetfire. Thompson fired on the giant, but as the five humans escaped, Jetfire touched the cube, sending out a surge of energy that bought a number of objects to life, including Thompson's gun. Thompson managed to destroy the gun and a radio before helping the Hoovers, distracting the crane robot while they opened the floodgates and drowned it. Irreplaceable
Two decades later, following a lead on the last of the four mutations, Thompson and Margaret Simmons went to Sowers, Texas to interview a policeman who said he'd seen a car turn into a robot. When it transpired that the car was being used by Bonnie and Clyde, Roy was only just talked out of sending Simmons home as it was clearly too dangerous for a woman to deal with. The pair went to Eastham Jail where the criminals' driver W. D. Jones was being held and tried to prepare the staff for an impending jail break. In the end, they had to take part themselves and when Thompson was injured by an explosion, Simmons used the Oppenheimer-designed gun he'd brought to repel Clyde and the robot. Thompson was not injured badly enough to stop him from taking part in a trap they set for the outlaws using the captured Bonnie as bait. The trap ended with both criminals dead and the robot destroyed. Together
