	Fortress was among the Seekers left on Earth by The Fallen to seek the Tomb of the Primes. As time and the millennia rolled by, and no traces of the tomb were found, the Seekers grew increasingly bored and frustrated, and Fortress found that their quest was slowly transforming into a twisted competition, as the Seekers battled each other over the smallest of possible leads to the Tomb's location. In 1929, one such "contest" went wrong: Fortress (sporting a bi-plane alternate mode) was strafing a truck-mode Seeker, causing the other Transformer to crash into a car containing the young [[Carter Newell]] and his parents. Newell's parents died on impact, but Carter himself survived to lay eyes upon the shocked Fortress, who had never wanted to harm humans. Carter swore a vendetta against the Transformers, and spent the next eighty years building the secret organization known as the [[Initiative]] to hunt down the alien robots and their technology. At an indeterminate point in time, Fortress was captured by the Initiative's forces and dissected, reduced to a head that apparently served as the living core of the Initiative's [[Initiative base\|mobile base]], allowing it to transform.
