	Snapper's group infiltrated [[Tesarus (polity)\|Tesarus Arena]] to infect as many Builders as possible with the virus. Though they managed to make some headway unimpeded, they wound up stumbling into an ambush. Mach Kick was blown to bits immediately, and Snapper attempted to flee, only to be stopped by Grimlock.

While Grimlock and Hot Rod tore into one another, Snapper and The Man Terror were left to contend with the two sisters. Man Terror was in turn destroyed, but both sisters were incapacitated, allowing Grimlock to hand over the G-Virus over to Snapper for delivery into the arena's crowd. As Snapper was readying to fire the virulent payload, Hot Rod revealed to him what the G-Virus actually did; the weapon had been reverse-engineered from [[Galvatron (G1)\|Galvatron]]'s remains, and would replicate the process that had turned [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] into the mad scion of [[Unicron]] in every Transformer it infected. Disgusted that Grimlock would unleash a hundredfold more of the "worst Builder of all time" onto Cybertron, Snapper destroyed the G-Virus and surrendered himself to the encroaching authorities.

	~~Rodimus~~ was as good as his word, but this didn't prevent the Resistance putting a bounty on Snapper's head. While imprisoned, he faced three separate attempts on his life. After a few years, he was scheduled for a transfer to Iacon itself, but the prisoner convoy was attacked en-route. One of his guards, realizing Snapper was the intended target, freed him in the hopes her [[Rampage (BW)\|attacker]] would go after him. Instead, Snapper was cornered by [[Overshoot\|a Maximal]]. Assuming that he was there to claim the bounty, Snapper prepared to go down fighting, but was more surprised when the newcomer said he was there to recruit Snapper for something. While sceptical, there was something about the earnestness in the Maximal's voice that swayed Snapper. They found [[Stiletto (BW)\|his partner]] tangling with the guard and one of his would-be assassins, who decided to destroy the bridge they were on, sending all five of them plummeting into the depths.

	They came too surprisingly uninjured, and began arguing before Overshoot told them they needed to go further down. So down they went, through layers of ancient abandoned Cybertronian cities, Snapper winding up carried on Rampage's back when the climb got too exhausting for him, until they reached the absolute bottom, and their destination: The Oracle. It granted a vision to Overshoot, warning of a group called the "Spawn of Antares" and telling them to protect humans. Snapper recognized the name as a group of supposed Predacons his cell had traded with for the G-Virus in exchange for information on humanity. Realizing there was some imminent threat brewing, the motley group decided they needed to get back to the surface and fast. Fortunately, they were able to return much quicker than they'd descended, and on reaching the surface heard a distress call warning of a siege on a trans-hyperwave caster tower nearby. Knowing this was whatever they had been summoned to stop, the group went to confront the Antares Eight. However, they were forced to surrender when Creepy held Stiletto at gunpoint, before his confederates summarily executed Overshoot. Acting quickly, Rampage grabbed Snapper and Buckethead and hurled them over a nearby ledge to avoid being killed themselves. The harsh landing seemed to kill him, but just as Buckethead and Snapper were eulogizing him Rampage sprang back to extremely tetchy life, and demanded they fetch up his parts. Once they did so, Buckethead pointed out their lousy chances, prompting Snapper to suggest they gather reinforcements while he went to try and rescue Stiletto. He arrived at the lair of the Antares Eight just in time to save her from a vengeful Scorp, only for Vamp to walk in on them and attack. The strange alien managed to take Snapper hostage, and used the opportunity to flee with her battered comrade. Left behind, Snapper and Stiletto decided to explore the base for useful information, only to find a database full of weird info Snapper couldn't parse, and that Vamp had set the self-destruct sequence, the two barely escaping in time.

While Grimlock and Hot Rod tore into one another, Snapper and The Man Terror were left to contend with the two sisters. Man Terror was in turn destroyed, but both sisters were incapacitated, allowing Grimlock to hand over the G-Virus over to Snapper for delivery into the arena's crowd. As Snapper was readying to fire the virulent payload, Hot Rod revealed to him what the G-Virus actually did; the weapon had been reverse-engineered from [[Galvatron (G1)\|Galvatron]]'s remains, and would replicate the process that had turned [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] into the mad scion of [[Unicron]] in every Transformer it infected. Disgusted that Grimlock would unleash a hundredfold more of the "worst Builder of all time" onto Cybertron, Snapper destroyed the G-Virus and surrendered himself to the encroaching authorities. In thanks for his cooperation, Hot Rod promised Snapper that he'd be treated fairly. {{storylink\|Micro-Aggressions}}

	~~{{charstubfiction~~\|{{storylink\|Cultural Appropriation}} {{storylink\|Derailment}}}}		Rodimus was as good as his word, but this didn't prevent the Resistance putting a bounty on Snapper's head. While imprisoned, he faced three separate attempts on his life. After a few years, he was scheduled for a transfer to Iacon itself, but the prisoner convoy was attacked en-route. One of his guards, realizing Snapper was the intended target, freed him in the hopes her [[Rampage (BW)\|attacker]] would go after him. Instead, Snapper was cornered by [[Overshoot\|a Maximal]]. Assuming that he was there to claim the bounty, Snapper prepared to go down fighting, but was more surprised when the newcomer said he was there to recruit Snapper for something. While sceptical, there was something about the earnestness in the Maximal's voice that swayed Snapper. They found [[Stiletto (BW)\|his partner]] tangling with the guard and one of his would-be assassins, who decided to destroy the bridge they were on, sending all five of them plummeting into the depths.

			They came too surprisingly uninjured, and began arguing before Overshoot told them they needed to go further down. So down they went, through layers of ancient abandoned Cybertronian cities, Snapper winding up carried on Rampage's back when the climb got too exhausting for him, until they reached the absolute bottom, and their destination: The Oracle. It granted a vision to Overshoot, warning of a group called the "Spawn of Antares" and telling them to protect humans. Snapper recognized the name as a group of supposed Predacons his cell had traded with for the G-Virus in exchange for information on humanity. Realizing there was some imminent threat brewing, the motley group decided they needed to get back to the surface and fast. Fortunately, they were able to return much quicker than they'd descended, and on reaching the surface heard a distress call warning of a siege on a trans-hyperwave caster tower nearby. Knowing this was whatever they had been summoned to stop, the group went to confront the Antares Eight. However, they were forced to surrender when Creepy held Stiletto at gunpoint, before his confederates summarily executed Overshoot. Acting quickly, Rampage grabbed Snapper and Buckethead and hurled them over a nearby ledge to avoid being killed themselves. The harsh landing seemed to kill him, but just as Buckethead and Snapper were eulogizing him Rampage sprang back to extremely tetchy life, and demanded they fetch up his parts. Once they did so, Buckethead pointed out their lousy chances, prompting Snapper to suggest they gather reinforcements while he went to try and rescue Stiletto. He arrived at the lair of the Antares Eight just in time to save her from a vengeful Scorp, only for Vamp to walk in on them and attack. The strange alien managed to take Snapper hostage, and used the opportunity to flee with her battered comrade. Left behind, Snapper and Stiletto decided to explore the base for useful information, only to find a database full of weird info Snapper couldn't parse, and that Vamp had set the self-destruct sequence, the two barely escaping in time.

			They arrived at the tower to find their allies already fighting with the Antares Eight. Snapper managed to take out another of the alien cyborgs, but was distracted and immobilized by Bladez, who made him watch as his ally Oddball arrived with their secret weapon: the combiner Monsterous. Even the formation of Devastator seemed unable to turn the tide, until Snapper saw the fight had Bladez too distracted to notice what he was doing, allowing him to remotely access his now-severed arm and use it to fire on Bladez. With him gone, Snapper was able to help his allies overcome the remaining members of the Antares Eight, and distract Monsterous long enough for Devastator to win. However, the moment of triumph was spoiled when Snapper did a head count and realized they'd only accounted for seven of the eight. And worse, the humans had fallen for the bait and were on their way. Hurrying up the tower, Snapper and the others rushed into a trap set by Creepy. Only Stiletto managed to avoid it, thanks to a spectral warning from Overshoot's ghost, allowing her to deal with the last Antarean and the humans. In the aftermath, Builders and Resistance alike met in the nearby Sights & Sounds Casino to discuss Snapper's fate. Rampage quickly made it clear he would refuse to allow anyone to take the Predacon anywhere unwillingly. The Constructicons similarly decided to join with the newly minted "[[Ex-Bot (BWU)\|Ex-Bots]]", followed by Magmatron and most of his crew, once they heard the truth of why Snapper had been imprisoned. However, the mood was ruined when Jackpot cut in with the news that the entire Maximal Command Security Force had gone rogue and declared themselves independent. {{storylink\|Cultural Appropriation}}
