	When the rogue Decepticon [[Breakdown (G1)\|Breakdown]] was detected attacking a power station, a Skywatch unit led by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#IDW Generation 1 continuity\|Spike Witwicky]] deployed to apprehend him. Deploying from a trio of transport craft, Spike crashed his suit into the Decepticon, before an [[Suppressor (device)\|inhibitor]] was applied to disable Breakdown. In order to lure out other Cybertronians in the facility, Spike had the [[particle cannon]]s on the supporting gunship armed, to give the impression that Breakdown would be terminated, rather than interned. The ruse was a success, in drawing [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity\|Prowl]] from hiding—who was soon caught by an infantry-launched inhibitor himself. Both Prowl and Breakdown were taken to Skywatch HQ.
