Aerobolt and his fellow Mini-Cons were captured by the [[Decepticon]]s in their youth and experimented on. Given the ability to combine with their larger brethren, the Mini-Cons were stored in a laboratory in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]] until [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] stumbled on them. They managed to escape Starscream and fell in with some scavengers so they could escape [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], only to find their new hosts were heading for [[Earth]]. They set about trying to work out a way to abandon the scavengers and leave the planet. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}}

When [[Scatterspike]] returned from a mission empty-handed and blaming [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]], Aerobolt took the Mini-Con aside for a personal report. Though Sawtooth thought they should trust the Autobots, Aerobolt thought otherwise. {{storylink|Strongarm's Big Score}}

The Mini-Cons accompanied the scavengers to an automated ship to find a relic, and Aerobolt pointedly refused to power up Clawtrap. After the scavengers managed to retrieve the [[Dark Star Saber]], Aerobolt and his companions stole their [[Weaponizers' ship|sub-orbital craft]]. Detecting a power source capable of getting them offplanet, they invaded [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|the scrapyard]] looking for it, only to be told it had already been destroyed. {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}} Their craft eventually ran out of fuel, but they ran into the Autobots again — Aerobolt recognized [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and finally realized the Autobots could be trusted, though his attempt to link with Optimus was unsuccessful. During an ensuing fight with the scavengers, Aerobolt and his companions were snatched up by Starscream. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}}

Starscream attempted to merge with the Mini-Cons, only for it to fail because [[Tricerashot]] was missing. He was eventually able to obtain the last Mini-Con and merge with them all, however Fixit was able to activate a signal and separate Aerobolt. Aerobolt found Optimus and linked with him, providing the Autobot leader with a powerup that let him go up against the super-powered Starscream. Following the successful defeat of Starscream, Aerobolt and his fellow Mini-Cons left Earth on the sub-orbital craft, now modified by Fixit for space travel. {{storylink|Worthy}}
