	Gran Arm was one of several [[Cyberdroid]]s in stasis at the Autobot Micromasters' [[Earth]] base. During a particularly pitched battle with the [[Decepticon]] [[Sixwing]] in Berserker Mode, the capsules containing the Build Team took a shock, activating them. A little while later, Micromasters resembling the Build Team were spotted wrecking [[human]] construction sites. The Build Team soon confronted them in [[Sixbuilder]] mode... only for the impostors to do the same!
