	Dubbed the Neo-Knights, Rapture and her teammates made their public debut during the second [[Decepticon Civil War]], as the Decepticon leaders [[Scorponok (G1)\|Scorponok]] and [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Shockwave]] had battled across [[New Jersey (Earth)\|New Jersey]] and onto the island of [[New York City\|Manhattan]]. {{storylink\|...All This and Civil War 2}} The battle went less than perfect, as their heavy-hitter Thunderpunch was ineffective against the mighty Scorponok. Still, Dynamo managed to topple the latter, allowing Rapture to entrance him, and Circuit Breaker to renew the offensive. Rapture was quickly sidelined as Circuit Breaker's manic hatred of Transformers led to her attacking the present Autobots as well as Decepticons. She eventually burned herself out, and Rapture was about to rejoin the fray when Optimus stepped forth, and convinced all involved to stand down peacefully. The Neo-Knights were about to leave aboard Blackrock's helicopter when [[Primus]], spirit of the Transformers' homeworld Cybertron, abruptly summoned all the Transformers on Earth back home.

But despite talk of looming Armageddon, the humans were more concerned over the mental state of one of their own; Circuit Breaker's pathological hatred of robots caused her mind to shut down when she found herself on a planet entirely populated with them.

	True to Primus's warning, Unicron soon appeared overhead. The Neo-Knights tried to flee at first, only for Rapture to point out it was futile to do so when their enemy was attacking the planet itself! Echoing his teammate's sentiments, Thunderpunch rallied the rest of the group into joining the fight against Unicron. In the battle with Unicron himself, the Neo-Knights success proved limited. Rapture managed to ensnare the Chaos-Bringer's mind for a brief period of time, but the psychic backlash ultimately brought her down instead. {{storylink\|On the Edge of Extinction!\|On the Edge of Extinction!}} After the war, the Neo-Knights were kind of lost in the shuffle of the new Autobot-Decepticon alliance, packed away in a crate for transport like so much baggage. To make things worse, they had a "cell-mate": [[Hi-Q]], former [[Powermaster]] partner of the late [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]], who now actually believed himself to BE Prime. {{storylink\|Exodus!}} Despite his crazed appearance, Hi-Q managed to convince Thunderpunch that they should remain on Cybertron to seek out "The [[Last Autobot]]," who according to him was the means to Cybertron's salvation. Rapture stood silent as Blackrock and Thunderpunch argued the matter, with Thunderpunch eventually winning the argument. {{storylink\|A Savage Circle}} The Neo-Knights broke out of their crate before the Autobots blasted off, but soon came to regret their decision. They had no means of actually tracking down the Last Autobot's location, and their surroundings were becoming increasingly perilous as Cybertron continued to deteriorate! Rapture was ready to accept defeat and simply wait for death when a glimmer of hope emerged. In his previous attempt to tap into Cybertron, it seemed that Dynamo had established a rapport with the planet! Following him, the group successfully uncovered their quarry in some ancient ruins. {{storylink\|The Last Autobot?}} They then used the Last Autobot to follow the Transformers to the planet [[Klo]], where the final battle between the Autobots and Decepticons was held. Rapture used her power to neutralize [[Stranglehold]], sending him into a blissful dream-state in which he found himself lounging on a throne being attended by buxom human women. After the battle, the resurrected Optimus Prime promised to bring Rapture and the Neo-Knights back home to Earth. {{storylink\|End of the Road!

The two superhumans' first mission was to recruiting another of their kind, [[Dynamo\|Hector Dialonzo]], an illegal immigrant who had slain several Decepticons on his own. Upon arrival to Dialonzo's coordinates, Rapture's group happened upon [[Circuit Breaker (G1)\|Circuit Breaker]] already dueling [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Starscream]] over the man. Rapture was sent out first to gain control of the situation, and used her superpowers to entrance Starscream in a dream-like state, with Thunderpunch following up by beating down the Decepticon. The brawl came to an end when Dialonzo objected to being fought over like some prize, and insisted all involved instead pitch their recruitment speeches at him so he could decide for himself who to join. Blackrock managed to convince both Dialonzo and Circuit Breaker to join him, and together this new team blasted Starscream into the surf before taking off. {{storylink\|The Human Factor!}}

	Katrina Vesotsky spent some time destitute, too afraid to ask for help. Eventually, she was found by Blackrock and alongside [[Thunderpunch\|Lee Gruber]] was ~~two of the first superhumans~~ recruited to oppose the Decepticons on Earth. Blackrock gave her a "superhero getup" and a codename to operate under: Rapture. The two superhumans' first mission was to recruiting another of their kind, [[Dynamo\|Hector Dialonzo]], an illegal immigrant who had slain several Decepticons on his own. Upon arrival to Dialonzo's coordinates, Rapture's group happened upon [[Circuit Breaker (G1)\|Circuit Breaker]] already dueling [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Starscream]] over the man.

The brawl came to an end when Dialonzo objected to being fought over like some prize, and insisted all involved instead pitch their recruitment speeches at him so he could decide for himself who to join.
