These stories do not fit into the normal Marvel continuity. See Earthforce for details.

When Optimus Prime visited the Earthbase he brought with him a number of deactivated Autobots from the Ark, to be revived in Wheeljack's Body Shop. However, a series of unexplained "accidents" surrounding the resurrection of Tracks led him to believe that there was a saboteur amongst the Earthforce and he demanded that Grimlock investigate the matter. Instead, Grimlock stepped up his attempts to keep Tracks deactivated but ended up being dragged into the Automated Construction Unit after him, suffering considerable damage in the process. Tracks was fully repaired and assigned to the Earthforce, much to Grimlock's chagrin. Makin' Tracks!

Notes

• The formerly deactivated Aerialbots Air Raid, Fireflight, Skydive, and Slingshot appear amongst the ranks of the Earthforce without explanation. They may have been repaired in the Body Shop, though Nucleon is also a possibility.
• The remains of Hound were seen in the Body Shop, but he was never shown to have been repaired.
