Responding to a raid against innocent civilians, the Mayhem Suppression Squad leaped into action, attacking Jetfire and his goon squad. However, this time the Autobots were prepared, and with his new upgrades Jetfire soundly defeated the Squad's leader, Colonel Deathsaurus, crushing him and nearly destroying him utterly. Deathsaurus's XO Bug Bite managed to drag his leader to safety, but Dirge, Rumble, Thrust, and Thundercracker were captured, their beaten bodies displayed on Cybertron TV for all to see.
