An energon refinement specialist, Landquake longs for a greater destiny. When Megatron began to raid Mini-Con villages in his bid for power, Landquake left his job at the Kalis refineries to join the Decepticon army. However, Landquake soon became disenchanted with his lot, realizing that Megatron's true goals were purely solipsistic, and that the Decepticons lacked the strict military order he craved. As such, Landquake has become bored with being a Decepticon.
