	Before becoming a Torchbearer, Dustup was a civilian living in the desolate mining town of [[Parvus Oppidum]]. Dustup was attacked by bandits who were after the town's meager energon supplies. Though she managed to kill one of her attackers, Dustup was still convinced by her [[Conjunx Endura]] [[Jumpstream]] that she should call in the [[Torchbearer]]s for assistance. A Torchbearer fangirl, Dustup had to have her excitement at finally getting to meet her idols up close contained by her wife. After she'd calmed down a bit, Dustup led Torchbearer second-in-command [[Pyra Magna\|Pyra]] to Parvus' energon supply, explaining how she'd killed one of the marauders on the way there. Though she didn't understand why Pyra didn't seem to be impressed with the amount of energon they'd managed to procure, Dustup still began leading the Torchbearer to where they were keeping the body of the bandit she'd killed. Before Pyra got a chance to see it, however, she suddenly received a transmission from Torchbearer leader [[Praesidia Magna]] informing them that the marauders had returned. Rushing back to the surface, Dustup took a shot at a bandit that was attacking Jumpstream. After a black hole opened up under the town, Dustup joined her wife and the Torchbearers in trying to get as many townspeople to safety as they could. Though the singularity and the marauders eventually disappeared, the town was completely destroyed. Helping the Torchbearers clear away the rubble and search for survivors, Jumpstream and Dustup both watched with interest as the [[Mistress of Flame]] helped Pyra to her feet as she regained consciousness.

	When Pyra returned to Parvus, which was now being reconstructed with assistance from the Torchbearers, she spoke with Dustup in private. Dustup explained that there had actually been two bandits that attacked her and that she'd intentionally spared one. After telling them how much energon the town had so that they'd bring the rest of the marauders to Parvus, Dustup called in the Torchbearers in hopes that they would stop them once and for all. She'd kept this a secret from Jumpstream and asked Pyra not to tell her, saying that it was never her intention to destroy her home or get any of the Torchbearers she thought invincible killed. Sensing potential in the pair, Pyra inducted Dustup and Jumpstream into the Torchbearers once she was made leader. {{storylink\|Ghost Stories}}		When Pyra returned to Parvus, which was now being reconstructed with assistance from the Torchbearers, she spoke with Dustup in private.

			Dustup does nothing by half measures, and once she's rolling the smart course of action is to stay out of her way.
			Her default state is overload, her systems run hot, and if there's no trouble to be found, she'll make some.
			Her fellow Rust Renegades accept that inevitably, sooner or later, Dustup will get in over her head. But they know that if they were ever in deep trouble, Dustup, would be first to their aid. {{storylink\|Transformers: Earth Wars\|Dustup Bio}}

	Before becoming a Torchbearer, Dustup was a civilian living in the desolate mining town of [[Parvus Oppidum]]. Dustup was attacked by bandits who were after the town's meager energon supplies.

After she'd calmed down a bit, Dustup led Torchbearer second-in-command [[Pyra Magna\|Pyra]] to Parvus' energon supply, explaining how she'd killed one of the marauders on the way there. Though she didn't understand why Pyra didn't seem to be impressed with the amount of energon they'd managed to procure, Dustup still began leading the Torchbearer to where they were keeping the body of the bandit she'd killed. Before Pyra got a chance to see it, however, she suddenly received a transmission from Torchbearer leader [[Praesidia Magna]] informing them that the marauders had returned. Rushing back to the surface, Dustup took a shot at a bandit that was attacking Jumpstream. After a black hole opened up under the town, Dustup joined her wife and the Torchbearers in trying to get as many townspeople to safety as they could.

	As a show of good faith, the Autobots began patrolling impoverished and troubled regions around the world; Dustup and the other Torchbearers would defend a Middle Eastern girl's school from religious fanatics. The Torchbearers would later travel to the White House after Aileron went rogue, forming Victorion and extricating the Autobots from the White House lawn. {{storylink\|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth\|Edge of the Earth}}		As a show of good faith, the Autobots began patrolling impoverished and troubled regions around the world; Dustup and the other Torchbearers would defend a Middle Eastern girl's school from religious fanatics.

	Over the course of several months, the Autobots settled into their new role as global protectors, unaware of a growing conspiracy spearheaded by [[Miles Mayhem]] and supported by his allies [[Baron Karza]] and the [[Dire Wraith]]s, each seeking to get their hands on Earth's supply of [[Ore-13]]. Dustup and the Torchbearers were deployed from [[Autobot City (G1)\|Autobot City]] in [[Monument Valley]] to [[Oregon]], where they defended Arcee and [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]] from an unprovoked [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]] attack. As Victorion, they used her gravity powers to harmlessly take down human aircraft in the wake of Soundwave's EMP attack. {{storylink\|Concorde Hymn}} Victorion maintained guard outside Autobot City as the situation intensified. {{storylink\|The New Colossus}} Not long afterwards, the Dire Wraiths and [[M.A.S.K.]] besieged Autobot City for the deposits of Ore-13 beneath.

	When Karza had been thwarted, the Autobots and their allies returned to policing an increasingly volatile Earth. Dustup accompanied her leader to the [[Matterhorn]], where they witnessed a massive alien ship make planetfall. {{storylink\|New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen\|To Walk Among the Chosen}} It turned out that it contained the nomadic [[Junkion (species)\|Junkion]]s, and, as Victorion, the Torchbearers watched as [[Wreck-Gar (G1)\|Wreck-Gar]] and [[Rum-Maj]] made their introductions. {{storylink\|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain\|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}}		When Karza had been thwarted, the Autobots and their allies returned to policing an increasingly volatile Earth.

	Dust Up was at Autobot City when Metrotitan's Space Bridge ferried Earth's envoy of ambassadors to Cybertron to be accepted into the Council of Worlds. When contact with Cybertron was cut off, she and the Torchbearers locked down Autobot City in case an attack was directed back through the bridge. {{storylink\|Primeless, Part 1}} She met Pyra Magna, Skyburst, and Stormclash at the Space Bridge once they returned from Cybertron and the assault had been quelled. {{storylink\|The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)}}		Dust Up was at Autobot City when Metrotitan's Space Bridge ferried Earth's envoy of ambassadors to Cybertron to be accepted into the Council of Worlds.

	The Torchbearers awaited Optimus Prime at Autobot City when he returned from the [[Ore-13]] mines with a supply of energon for Cybertron. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes\|Surfeit of Primes}} A situation developed when he delivered the energon to Cybertron, but Pyra Magna chose to keep her forces in reserve rather than rush to the Prime's side. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine\|Another Mine}} Of course, they had no say in the matter once Autobot City acted on its own accord and transported to Cybertron through its own ~~Space Bridge~~ portal. Metrotitan was then ~~murdered~~ by the [[Nemesis (BW)\|Nemesis]], flagship of the prodigal Prime, [[Onyx Prime]]. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 3: The Ground\|The Ground}}		The Torchbearers awaited Optimus Prime at Autobot City when he returned from the [[Ore-13]] mines with a supply of energon for Cybertron. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes\|Surfeit of Primes}} A situation developed when he delivered the energon to Cybertron, but Pyra Magna chose to keep her forces in reserve rather than rush to the Prime's side. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine\|Another Mine}} Of course, they had no say in the matter once Autobot City acted on its own accord and transported to Cybertron through its own space bridge portal.

	In the wreckage of Metrotitan, the Torchbearers were faced the [[Maximal]]s of [[Liege Maximo]] and the fanatical combiner, [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]]. They formed Victorion in order to better defend their allies. The power of Devastator seemed to be so great that he overcame Victorion's gravity-manipulation abilities. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing\|The Hallowing}} Victorion's fight with Devastator went poorly for some time and he held the upper hand. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever\|Endless Forever}} Eventually, however, it was revealed that the Liege Maximo manipulated the gravity power of [[Ore-4]] to counteract Victorion's powers. Once Arcee dispatched him, Devastator fell easily and was pulverized by sustained gravimetric pressure. Dust Up and the Torchbearers disconnected as Pyra Magna confronted Onyx Prime in his true form as [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]] of the Decepticons. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable\|Unforgivable}}		In the wreckage of Metrotitan, the Torchbearers were faced the [[Maximal]]s of [[Liege Maximo]] and the fanatical combiner, [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]].
