Seymour Simmons


 * Reggie Simmons is a human from the live-action movie continuity family.



Agent Seymour Reginald "Reggie" Simmons is the head officer of Sector Seven's Field Agents. He is part of a long line of Simmonses who were head officers in Sector Seven. His great grandfather pulled N.B.E.-1, the first-discovered Transformer, out of the ice, and his grandfather and father prepared Sector Seven against the day that more N.B.E.s would arrive on Earth. He might come off as a jerk, but he takes this work very personally. After all, it's in his blood.

He's just a smidge off his nut—eccentric, weird, crazy, whatever you want to call it. He's strange, and he wears Hawaii underwear, Sector Seven undershirts, and clip on ties.

"Yes, but he's, uh... you know, strange. He's a little strange."

Reggie Simmons and John Ho attended the original Star Wars premiere at Mann's Chinese Cinema.

Prime Directive prequel comics
In 2003, Simmons led a team of Sector 7 agents in an attempt to capture Bumblebee, then known as NBE-2. The attempt involved luring him into a trap using an artificial isotope derived from the sub-atomic matter of the cube, which put out an almost identical energy signature to that of the cube. After the team spent two days waiting in the New Mexico desert, Bumblebee appeared, followed by the Decepticons Barricade, Blackout, and Starscream. Thanks to the Decepticons, who destroyed several Apache helicopters and tried to hack into Sector 7's network, Simmons's plan to capture Bumblebee failed horribly.

Agent Simmons went to the Witwicky residence when Sector Seven suspected that Sam Witwicky had contact with an N.B.E. they were tracking. Taking Sam and Mikaela Banes into custody, he got too into the bad cop role, threatening Sam with life imprisonment, threatening Mikaela's father's parole, and revealing Mikaela's own criminal record. This strategy nearly succeeded...until a seriously pissed off Optimus Prime decided to pay Sam and Mikaela's bail—by jumping right in front of their SUV, lifting it off the ground, and tearing the roof off. Although Simmons tried to call for calm, the Autobots easily disarmed the agents. To Simmons' credit, he himself remained calm, while the guy on the left looked like he was going to wet himself.

Prime attempted to interrogate Simmons, who revealed that the only communication he was authorized to have with the NBEs was to tell them he wasn't authorized to communicate with them. He also refused to answer any questions from Sam and Mikaela about Sector Seven or how they knew of the Autobots. Annoyed by his attitude, Bumblebee released lubricant on him. As the Autobots left, Mikaela had Simmons strip as punishment for threatening her father. However, Bumblebee, Sam, and Mikaela were later recaptured.

After arriving at Hoover Dam (and presumably the longest shower of his life), Agent Simmons, in a new, clean, and higher-in-authority uniform, and trying the awkward role of good cop, told Sam and Mikaela that they may have gotten off on the wrong foot. Taking them to see the Mega Man, Simmons was told of Megatron's plans by Sam. However, Frenzy had infiltrated the dam and sent a message to the Decepticons, causing Starscream to attack. Sam urged Simmons to release Bumblebee, saying he would help, but Simmons stubbornly refused. Captain Lennox decided to apply some armed persuasion, which Simmons still refused to heed, leading to a standoff between the rangers and Sector Seven agents. The rangers won. After Bumblebee reformatted the Cube, Simmons, Secretary Keller, Maggie Madsen, and Glen Whitmann went to the dam's archives, where they managed to send out an S.O.S. via an old radio in there, while Keller and Simmons provided cover fire from an attacking Frenzy.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Simmons' fate following the termination of Sector Seven is revealed; working for his mother in a deli shop. He does not like the job one bit (and probably doesn't like his mother, or working for her either). When Sam, Mikaela, and Leo arrived at the shop pleading for Simmons' help, he refused, blaming Sam for the loss of his job, until Sam informed him on the symbols he was seeing in his head. That was when Simmons led the three to a bunker below the shop to reveal all of the files he kept following the shut-down of Sector Seven. Simmons revealed that those same symbols have been marked not only all around the world, but for the last millennium. He showed a photo of an old SR-71 Blackbird, which he believed was alive. They went to the hangar to find it, after incapacitating a few guards and Simmons disguising himself as one, and used the artifact Sam found to reactivate it. Mikaela noticed the Decepticon symbol on it, and alerted the rest of the team, until the Blackbird revealed himself to be a grumpy, but non-hostile ex-Decepticon named Jetfire, who chose to switch sides years ago. Jetfire read the symbols Sam wrote down, and then teleported them to Egypt, where Jetfire revealed that the Matrix of Leadership is hidden within a tomb. The group gets stopped at a checkpoint, but Simmons sweet talks his way out of it, claiming that Sam, Mikaela and Leo are his kids and that he's from New York. Luckily for him the guard was a Yankee's fan. After finding the Matrix inside the tomb, which turned into dust the moment Sam picked it up, Simmons called in for Lennox to bring the deceased Optimus Prime to Egypt in an attempt to revive him. When the Decepticons found out where Sam was, they attacked. Simmons, the Twins and Leo Spitz ended up facing Devastator (ROTF). Simmons nearly got sucked into Devestator and killed, but Leo saved him. Devastator began digging it's way into the top of the pyramid to uncover the structure that would drain all of the sun's energy and use it for energon, until Simmons decided to call in for a rail gun strike from a nearby destroyer, (but not before telling them his position, under Devastator's scrotum!) which blasted Devastator to pieces, killing him. Simmons climbed the pyramid to set it up using a GPS device to get the coordinats once he was up there. Following the defeat of the Fallen and the destruction of the Energon structure, Simmons was praised by Major Lennox for his effort in saving the entire world. Although the conversation between him and Lennox had no audio, Simmons was offered to join NEST, which he accepted.
