In truth, this was not exactly a lie. What had caused the internet blackout was indeed a virus. It was just that the ones who had unleashed it were not hackers from Earth, but a group of evil extraterrestrial mechanical lifeforms!

The immense pressure and extreme cold at the bottom of the trench would crush the remains flat and leave no trace behind!
And Sector 7 was dealt with alongside the Decepticon corpses!
The President of the United States personally ordered Sector 7 to be disbanded!
Sector 7 had been established to study the AllSpark and Megatron. Now that both the AllSpark and Megatron had been destroyed, Sector 7 no longer had any reason to exist without subjects to study!
So, after the aftermath of the battle against the Decepticons had been dealt with, Sector 7 was immediately dissolved, its establishment abolished, and all personnel sent home!
