You and Tailgate were on a normal rescue mission near the Sea of Rust when you both sudently were ambushed by a large horde of decepticons.

Tailgate: "Cyclonus we have to leave now!"

You both managed to escape the Cons and hide on a cave to plan a way to reach your ship, but the time runs and you both are injured, more you than Tailgate wich makes him very worried for you
