	Cataclysm nearly toppled the main resistance against Shokaract on [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] by infiltrating the resistance base and culling a legion of soldiers to attack the Capital with a fool-proof plan; but as Cataclysm was the head of the operation, it was all a trap that cost the resistance sixteen thousand soldiers and mortally wounded the resistance forces on the planet. Upon his ascension to a [[Herald of Shokaract]], Cataclysm did everything in his power to usurp Antagony, but all in secret. In turn, Antagony did everything in her power to undermine Cataclysm's bid for Herald Maximo.

	[[~~Image~~:~~Terminus Heralds resurrected~~.~~jpg\|200px\|left\|thumb\|Outta~~ the ~~way~~, ~~panels!]]~~		Cataclysm got a chance to achieve his dreams during the [[Horus Campaign]], when he and Antagony were sent to battle [[Horus]], a powerful warlord who had held Shokaract's forces at bay with his vast armada and ability to draw energy from a star. While Antagony opted for a convoluted diversion that allowed her to face Horus himself in battle, Cataclysm decided on a more direct plan: blowing up the star powering the self-styled god. This bold tactic weakened Horus enough for Antagony to finish the job, despite the latter also being injured in the destruction of the star. Unfortunately for Cataclysm, his eternal rival survived (and was royally peeved at the perceived assassination attempt), and both Heralds were commended by Shokaract, who mistakenly thought they were working together.
