	Around [[1945]], Screaming Eagles encountered more of the IRON Troopers in [[Paris]], who had been drawn to a violent confrontation between "[[Centurion (IDW)\|Bumblebee]]" and "[[Maximal Shockwave\|Shockwave]]." While searching for the ''Axalon'' with "Bumblebee," Kreiger and Savage encountered dozens more IRON Troopers, who were instinctively drawn to the residual Talisman energy the ship held. Centurion and Savage investigated the wreck of the ship but were drawn out again when the Iron Troopers revealed a new tactic: combining ~~together~~, they puppeteered the body of [[Domitius Major\|Centurion's old commander]] to attack Centurion. Centurion was able to defeat them, but the ''Axalon'' and Savage vanished in the ensuing battle. {{storylink\|Strange Visitors}}		Around [[1945]], Screaming Eagles encountered more of the IRON Troopers in [[Paris]], who had been drawn to a violent confrontation between "[[Centurion (IDW)\|Bumblebee]]" and "[[Maximal Shockwave\|Shockwave]]."

	In the 1960s, the Brasnyan government was able to recover several expired IRON Troopers left behind from the battle of the ''Axalon''. Several spies were able to smuggle pieces of the alien technology out of the country and into the [[United States of America\|United States]] through the [[United Kingdom]]; one severed head found its way to [[Pawtucket]], where it was used as an improvised [[hologram]] projector. British super-spy [[Action Man]] tracked the smugglers to the US where he encountered a young [[Atomic Man\|Mike Power]].

	After four decades of searching, Kreiger discovered the Talisman beneath the [[Tomb of Amtoltec]] in [[1984]] and soon experimented with its capabilities, conjuring a new army of mummy-themed IRON Troopers in the process. His activities drew the attention of [[Joe Colton]]'s [[Adventure Team]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]], the latter having tracked the Talisman's unusual energy signature to [[Dahshur]]. In the ensuing fight, Kreiger deployed dozens of the robots to bog down Soundwave, provoking the annoyed Transformer into leaving. In the aftermath, Kreiger quietly absconded with the Talisman and continued investigating its secrets. {{storylink\|The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb}}		After four decades of searching, Kreiger discovered the Talisman beneath the [[Tomb of Amtoltec]] in [[1984]] and soon experimented with its capabilities, conjuring a new army of mummy-themed IRON Troopers in the process.

When [[Ayana Jones]] and her team infiltrated Kreiger's Brasnyan base, he retaliated by deploying his two "[[I.R.O.N. Cybertronian]]s".
