			The Cobalt Sentries managed to acquire several of the mysterious "G2 bodies" from the planet [[Foreston]], and upgraded Decepticons with them. One such Decepticon was [[Riggorus]], whose upgrade took place on a sealed room in a Decepticon flagship with the procedure overseen by Garboil himself, who assured the medic he had nothing to worry about with regards to the unusual soldier watching the proceedings.

			As part of the Cobalt Sentries, Garboil got in contact with the mysterious "[[Cybertronian (faction)\|Liegemen]]", who had originally scuppered the first G2 experiments, and helped supply them with <s>raw material</s> recruits. The whole thing was kept on the hush-hush from Megatron, since the Sentries figured the Liegemen Empire wasn't a threat to them.

			Some time later, the Decepticons decided to go get some more G2 bodies from Foreston, with some assistance from the Liegemen. In a battle over the Diadem facility and its protectors, the Liegemen abandoned Garboil to make a grab for the technology for themselves. The injured Sentry was found by Riggorus, and in his state let slip about the deal, much to the medic's disgruntlement. He patched the condor up, but on the grounds that he make himself useful and win the fight for the Decepticons, with a talk about doctor-patient confidentiality for later. {{storylink\|Riggorus#Masterpiece\|Riggorus profile}}
