Ever since coming online, GOLDPAVER had always had an eye for caretaking. Believing Cybertron's best defense against future alien subjugation was a better offense, he joined the Decepticons to take part in their campaign of galactic conquest. His highly detail oriented mind and sophisticated sensory suite made him an ideal hunter who had largely became obsolete with the advent of the Sweeps. Took on an assignment to oversee security detail in the largely obscure Decepticon research space facility, Sunbase-2, before beginning his investigation into occult Transformer lore. Thought terminated by Cyclonus after making reference to the heretical Black Book of Primus, but managed to survive -- sort of.
