The Uberhogs squadron was assigned to intercept the Autobots in the Nevada desert and delay them while Gen. Ben Fellows's tank battalion got into position.
They failed pretty spectacularly. Bumblebee threw rocks at them and knocked them out of the sky. Transformers: Hardwired
Squad members
Vic Mellors
Uberhog One - Lieutenant Vic Mellors
Vic Mellors is a rookie to actual combat. He was too young for the first Gulf War, and had just started training when the 2nd happened. His first combat experience was being assigned to delay the Autobots approaching Las Vegas so General Fellows could get his tank squadron into position.
Mellors is forced to eject after Bumblebee knocks his rear stabilizer off with a flung rock. His is the first plane downed, and he witnesses the loss of his entire squadron, including the near-disaster with Lieutenant Debussy.
Vern Fox
Uberhog Two - Lieutenant Vern Fox.
Vern Fox calls for evasive action before the tail section is knocked off his plane. He hits his head against the canopy in the resulting spin and is knocked unconscious.
Bumblebee knocks off his canopy and managed to trigger the ejection mechanism before the plane crashes, a very delicate maneuver. Fox was the third Uberhog downed.
Antoine Debussy
Uberhog Three - Lieutenant Antoine Debussy
The second Uberhog knocked out is Antoine Debussy, who lost a wing. Antoine has a New Orleans accent.
Dave Langer
Uberhog Four - Lieutenant Dave Langer
Dave has a thick Brooklyn accent. The final pilot downed.
