He ends up near Tracks and Beachcomber, the two of them busy battling Decepticons. Just as Hook swings the gravity beam around and unleashes it towards the two Autobots, Laserbeak fires his laser cannons towards the pair. The two energy beams collide on-route towards the Autobots, creating a strange floating rift.
