The Sharkticons' world was under the heel of oppressors when Mandroid found it. After he liberated it, Blitzwave and Razor-Fin joined him as he returned to Earth and acted as his henchmen. Spying humans for the first time, Blitzwave wondered aloud how they tasted. When the Malto family attempted to flee, Mandroid sent the two Sharkticons after them, Blitzwave blasting trees down ahead of the escapees, allowing Razor-Fin to swoop in and swallow Dot and Alex Malto. As they continued to chase their prey, Blitzwave shot at Thrash and Mo until Thrash handed his sister off to Nightshade and attacked the Sharkticon head-on. A missile from Blitzwave took three of the Maltobots out of the fight, and the two Sharkticons caught up with the remainder of the family. Mandroid interceded by shooting down Twitch and Nightshade and set the two Sharkticons on them, only for the brief fight to end with Blitzwave and Razor-Fin defeated. Mandroid responded by blasting the Maltos and tossing Robby and Mo into Razor-Fin's maw.

They accompanied Mandroid to the spacebridge where their boss demonstrated how he had modified it into a weapon he could use to wipe out energon-based life across the planet. They soon found themselves under attack by a multitude of illusionary Nightshades, leading to Blitzwave accidentally being punched out by Razor-Fin. The Last Hope, Part 1 Once Mandroid had erected the spire holding the spacebridge, he tasked the two Sharkticons with protecting it until it was fully charged. They patrolled the area and attacked the Maltobots when they approached, leading to Nightshade, Hashtag, and Jawbreaker fighting them to keep them busy while Twitch and Thrash went on. The trio were joined by Soundwave, Swindle, and Hardtop, however the battle eventually ended when Mandroid activated his superweapon, deactivating Autobot, Decepticon, and Sharkticon alike. They were revived a few minutes later when Robby and Mo used their cyber-sleeves to reverse the effects of Mandroid's weapon. The Last Hope, Part 2
