Tensions rose amongst the populace when rumors circulated that Starscream was secretly holding the Decepticon Swindle captive, and thus the Badgeless was put on high alert for riots. On one patrol, however, this Badgeless failed to notice that his partner had been replaced by the provocateur Blast Off, who had disguised himself as a Badgeless. Outside Maccadam's, the duo encountered Ironhide escorting out a drunk Decepticon. The 'Con flippantly shouted "Swindle lives!" at them, prompting the duo to arrest the 'Con, only for the 'Con to punch them aside and run off. Blast Off chased the 'Con into an alley and started firing, with his partner arriving on the scene to back him up. When Ironhide arrived moments later, the 'Con was dead, and in the ensuing chaos, Blast Off slipped away, leaving his partner to take the fall for murdering the drunk 'Con. 07:00:00 Subsequently, this Cybertronian was put on trial for murder.
