All right, you've all had direct contact with the NBEs...
Non-Biological Extraterrestrials. Try to keep up with the acronyms.
What you're about to see is totally classified... [Megatron is revealed]
We think that when he made his approach over the North Pole, our gravitational field screwed up his telemetry and crashed into the ice, probably a few thousand years age. We shipped him here to this facility in 1934.
We call him NBE-1.
I don't mean to correct you on all that you think you know, but that's Megatron. He's the leader of the Decepticons.
He's been in cryo-stasis since 1935. Your great-great-grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind.
Fact is, you're looking at the source of the modern age. The microchip, lasers, cars, space flight: all reverse-engineered by studying him. [sneers at Sam] NBE-1, that's what we call it!
And you didn't think the United States Military might need to know that you're keeping a hostile alien robot frozen in the basement?
Until these events, we had no credible threats to national security.
Well, you got one now!
