	At [[Koraja]], Galen felt guilt at his lack of trust, despite Zarak's admiration. Soon, the Autobots approached the city, showing that they disarmed themselves. When this was not enough, a select few removed their heads, as part of an agreement and to show how dedicated to peace they were. Regardless of Zarak's raving for the Nebulans to destroy the robots, Galen was convinced of their good intentions and did not desire for ten millennia of peace to end. {{storylink\|Ring of Hate!}} {{storylink\|Doomsday for Nebulos}} Galen's decision proved unpopular when a Nebulan riot (in reality paid by [[Grax]] at the behest of Zarak) protesting the robot presence began in Koraja. When a fight broke out in the middle of the riot, Galen jumped to the rescue, but was punched in the face for his troubles. Troubled by the Nebulans' apparent anger against him, Galen spoke with Fortress Maximus's head, who told him to do whatever was necessary to protect the peace. At another meeting of the Council, Galen again spoke in favor of averting an all-out war, and his side was supported by the appearance of Gort, who clarified that the "attack" on him was an accident. Zarak conceded his point, for the time being. With him, Galen was part of an envoy to the Autobots, hoping to reach a mutual understanding.

	The next day, the [[Decepticon]]s arrived on Nebulos, after being summoned by Zarak. Galen witnessed their arrival to Koraja and pleaded with the Autobot heads for assistance. To keep their "deal", a few Nebulans decided to become "[[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]]". Despite Llyra's protests, Galen became the fifth volunteer, the head of Fortress Maximus himself. With their [[binary bonding\|binary bonded]] abilities, the Autobot Headmasters easily defeated [[Scorponok (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|Scorponok]] and his forces.

	En route to Earth, Galen helped create the [[Cerebros (G1)\|Cerebros]] component of his binary-bond system with Fortress Maximus and led an initiative to increase Maximus's size and capabilities. On Earth, Galen's primary concern was the distress call, not the safety of the [[human\|natives]], which did not garner him widespread approval.

	After the Autobots left, Scorponok and his Decepticons followed the source of the distress call, discovering Spike. After being alerted to the Decepticons' presence, Fortress Maximus followed Scorponok, who was pursuing Spike into a small passage. Due to Maximus's large size, Galen was forced to enter the passageway alone as Cerebros to save Spike from Scorponok and Zarak's wrath. To rescue the human from Zarak, Galen was thrown by Cerebros, and the two Headmasters fought. To distract Galen, Zarak had Scorponok blast the ceiling over Spike, forcing Galen to cover the human from falling rocks. Dying, Galen entrusted Spike with his Headmaster helmet, granting him control of Fortress Maximus. With his new power, Spike, with Fortress Maximus, chased away the Decepticons.

	During a meeting of the Council of Peers concerning [[Fortress Maximus (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|Fortress Maximus]]'s band of [[Autobot]] refugees and their apparent attack on [[Gort]], Galen supported giving them a chance to explain themselves, in opposition to [[Zarak (G1)\|Zarak]]'s paranoid desire to destroy what he saw as a potential threat. Galen's passionate plea for peace convinced the Council to agree, but Zarak still had reservations. Galen was present to see [[Blurr (G1)\|Blurr]] act as an envoy for the Autobots, and his apparent attack on the Nebulan crowd. This was in actuality a manipulation by Zarak to increase fear of the giant robots.

	At [[Koraja]], Galen felt guilt at his lack of trust, despite Zarak's admiration. Soon, the Autobots approached the city, showing that they disarmed themselves. When this was not enough, a select few removed their heads, as part of an agreement and to show how dedicated to peace they were. Regardless of Zarak's raving for the Nebulans to destroy the robots, Galen was convinced of their good intentions and did not desire for ten millennia of peace to end. {{storylink\|Ring of Hate!}} {{storylink\|Doomsday for Nebulos}} Galen's decision proved unpopular when a Nebulan riot (in reality paid by [[Grax]] at the behest of Zarak) protesting the robot presence began in Koraja. When a fight broke out in the middle of the riot, Galen jumped to the rescue, but was punched in the face for his troubles. Troubled by the Nebulans' apparent anger against him, Galen spoke with Fortress Maximus's head, who told him to do whatever was necessary to protect the peace. At another meeting of the Council, Galen again spoke in favor of averting an all-out war, and his side was supported by the appearance of Gort, who clarified that the "attack" on him was an accident. Zarak conceded his point, for the time being. With him, Galen was part of an envoy to the Autobots, hoping to reach a mutual understanding.

	The next day, the [[Decepticon]]s arrived on Nebulos, after being summoned by Zarak. Galen witnessed their arrival to Koraja and pleaded with the Autobot heads for assistance. To keep their "deal", a few Nebulans decided to become "[[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]]". Despite Llyra's protests, Galen became the fifth volunteer, the head of Fortress Maximus himself. With their [[binary bonding\|binary bonded]] abilities, the Autobot Headmasters easily defeated [[Scorponok (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|Scorponok]] and his forces. To alleviate the fear of the Nebulans, the Headmasters revealed their identity as Nebulans. However, Llyra was disappointed that the peaceful man she loved willingly became a weapon of war. {{storylink\|Broken Glass!}} {{storylink\|Worlds Apart!}} {{storylink\|Stylor's Story}}		The next day, the [[Decepticon]]s arrived on Nebulos, after being summoned by Zarak.

	''For a time, Fortress Maximus resumed using his original head, allowing him to function while Kord attended to other tasks. After Highbrow pinpointed Earth's location with the Autobots' astronomy computer, Maximus and Kord rejoined to debate whether they should leave Nebulos behind and continue the war on this new world. As they wandered outside, lost in thought, they were approached by Scorponok and his Decepticons, who proposed a means to end the war immediately; the two faction leaders would duel to the death, and whoever emerged victorious would likewise be declared triumphant in the greater conflict. Fortress Maximus accepted, and the duel commenced forthwith. The Autobot found himself at a disadvantage until Kord transformed from his head mode, and blinded Scorponok with two blasts from his pistol. However, this constituted as cheating according to the rules Scorponok had established beforehand, and the audience Decepticons opened fire, prompting the other Autobots to respond in kind. It turned out to matter little, as the whole set-up was nothing more than a distraction the Decepticons used to steal a fuel convertor. With it, they could themselves travel to Earth. Kord and the Autobots were forced to follow their enemies off-world.'' {{storylink\|The Final Conflict}}		''For a time, Fortress Maximus resumed using his original head, allowing him to function while Kord attended to other tasks.

	Upon rejoining the Autobots, Galen decided for the Autobots to travel to [[Earth]], to answer a distress call from the Autobots there and spare Nebulos of the [[Great War (G1)\|war]]. After parting words with Llyra meant to break any remaining mutual feelings, Galen left with the Autobots in the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)\|Steelhaven]]'' with the Decepticons following. {{storylink\|Brothers in Armor!!}}		Upon rejoining the Autobots, Galen decided for the Autobots to travel to [[Earth]], to answer a distress call from the Autobots there and spare Nebulos of the [[Great War (G1)\|war]].

	En route to Earth, Galen helped create the [[Cerebros (G1)\|Cerebros]] component of his binary-bond system with Fortress Maximus and led an initiative to increase Maximus's size and capabilities. On Earth, Galen's primary concern was the distress call, not the safety of the [[human\|natives]], which did not garner him widespread approval. As part of Fortress Maximus, he led an investigation into the [[Mount St. Hilary\|former site]] of the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]], where he found [[Spike Witwicky (G1)\|Spike Witwicky]], who was searching for [[Buster Witwicky (G1)\|his younger brother]], a captive of the Decepticon [[Ratbat (G1)\|Ratbat]]. After Spike berated Fortress for refusing to help his brother, Galen personally spoke with the human, expressing sympathy but refusing responsibility.

	After the Autobots left, Scorponok and his Decepticons followed the source of the distress call, discovering Spike. After being alerted to the Decepticons' presence, Fortress Maximus followed Scorponok, who was pursuing Spike into a small passage. Due to Maximus's large size, Galen was forced to enter the passageway alone as Cerebros to save Spike from Scorponok and Zarak's wrath. To rescue the human from Zarak, Galen was thrown by Cerebros, and the two Headmasters fought. To distract Galen, Zarak had Scorponok blast the ceiling over Spike, forcing Galen to cover the human from falling rocks. Dying, Galen entrusted Spike with his Headmaster helmet, granting him control of Fortress Maximus. With his new power, Spike, with Fortress Maximus, chased away the Decepticons. In the aftermath, Spike was elected the new leader of Fortress Maximus's Autobots. {{storylink\|Trial by Fire!}}		After the Autobots left, Scorponok and his Decepticons followed the source of the distress call, discovering Spike.
