	Information was stored on a [[floppy disk]] by [[Kenneth Onishi\|Doctor Onishi]] for his son, [[Koji Onishi\|Koji]], and given to [[Yoshimoto\|Doctor Yoshimoto]] for safekeeping. The disk fell into the hands of the [[Predacon (BW)\|~~Predacon~~]]s, who had trouble reviewing the contents, and concluded that the train was some kind of super weapon. [[Megatron (RID)\|Megatron]] tasked his men with capturing the train.

	Once the train reached its destination and the passengers disembarked, the Predacons saw their chance and stole Grandpa.

Midnight Express refused to give in and followed the steam engine off a cliff into the sea, where he was able to retrieve it before it fell into Megatron's waiting hand. Grandpa was soon back on dry land and back to pulling carriages. {{storylink\|Secret Weapon: D-5}}		Once the train reached its destination and the passengers disembarked, the Predacons saw their chance and stole Grandpa.

	The '''D-51 Stanwich Steamer''', affectionately nicknamed '''"Grandpa"''', may have been replaced by more efficient, less polluting trains, but he can still move carriages up and down a railway line. According to [[Midnight Express (RID)\|Midnight Express]], he may actually be alive, but he's probably just a steam engine. Probably.
