Ingrid is a human from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise portion of the live-action film continuity family.

"I have a thing for tacky skull ornaments."

Ingrid is the Initiative's resident goth hacker. Adept at her chosen field, she can hack into government computers and Cybertronian minds with equal ease. Her inquisitiveness is perhaps a liability in an organisation where secrecy is paramount. She is related in some way to Initiative head Carter Newell, which is the only reason he tolerates her many questions.

She knows where everyone is.

At Newell's command, Ingrid hacked into the government's multi-agency watch lists and deleted all trace of Hoover Dam, so an Initiative strike team could be sent in. Nefarious #2 When a captured Soundwave attempted to command Ravage to rescue him, Ingrid remotely overrode the kitty's free will and prevented it. Nefarious #3 She let her curiosity get the better of her and questioned Newell about why he hated Transformers and what was in Isolation-1, but he refused to answer her. When Hank Kirkpatrick brought up the fact that the recreation AllSpark they were experimenting with could potentially cause a global Armageddon, Ingrid pronounced this idea "cool". Nefarious #4

Ingrid was able to obtain the combination to open Isolation-1 by using the Initiative base's security cameras. Nefarious #5 She used the codes to gain entry and talk to Isolation-1's occupant, Fortress. When Newell subsequently began to draw on the AllSpark's power in a dangerous manner, and fried Kirkpatrick who was trying to stop him, Ingrid ran back to Isolation-1 and said she would set Fortress free if he told her what drove Newell's hatred of his kind. Fortress related the whole sorry story, and in return Ingrid freed him.

After the whole mess was over, Ingrid and fellow Initiative employee Woolf were taken into custody by NEST. Nefarious #6
