	Magnus recovered quickly, and the Autobots and Space Knights quickly came to blows before Stardrive intervened, furious that she'd seemingly been lied to about her species and her recent treatment to appease the Council. Magnus managed to clear up the matter—clarifying that, unlike the Solstar Order, [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] had never permanently unified and different factions of Cybertronians stood for different principles—Stardrive introduced herself and the two groups agreed to a tentative alliance. When Livia suggested razing the world to prevent the spread of more hybrids, Stardrive revealed the existence of her energon synthesizer, and the three Knights flew to the crash site to try and recover it, Stardrive trying to convince Livia to see otherwise on the way.

	They arrived at the wreckage of the ''Orchid Crossing'' at the same time as Starscream's Decepticons; ignoring her orders to engage the Seekers, Stardrive used her car mode to evacuate some [[Xetaxxan\|Xetaxxian]] scavengers, taking to the air to escape... only for Starscream to outmaneuver her and kill the aliens inside her cockpit. A despairing Stardrive retreated to the wreckage of her quarters and eventually struck a deal with Starscream.

	Claiming to need her knowledge of the Wraiths to fight off the organic shapeshfiters, Starscream invited Stardrive to join the Decepticons, a pitch that Stardrive flatly refused before Rom and Livia's fight against [[Dirge (G1)\|Dirge]] spilled into the wreckage and sent the Seekers fleeing. In a last-ditch effort to win the battle, Livia suggested detonating Stardrive's energon synthesizer to keep it out of Decepticon hands and eliminate the Wraith presence on the planet. Stardrive, her patience finally exhausted, snapped and declared that she was no longer a Space Knight, taking the synthesizer and flying off...only for Livia to shoot out her engine. Ignoring Rom's attempts to mediate, Stardrive simply transformed into her car mode and rammed Livia into some nearby vines, preparing to slay her before Bumblebee and Sata arrived.

With so many dead, Stardrive agreed to work with the others as long as nobody sacrificed anymore innocent lives... a deal that was cut short when Vekktral, now possessing the body of Ultra Magnus, returned, bringing with him an army of Wraiths.

	Out of options and patience, Stardrive resorted to using Sata as a sword as she battled Vekktral, slicing off one of his arms to free Starscream. Their previous alliance forgotten, the Decepticons briefly teamed up with the Autobots and Space Knights to blast the Wraiths so as to prevent any more hybrids from coming into existence... only for Starscream and his Decepticons to immediately retreat in the hopes of grabbing the energon synthesizer. Stardrive pursued the Decepticons and managed to rip Starscream's wings off. In response, Starscream simply set the energon synthesizer to detonate so that the Autobots couldn't get their hands on it either—a solution that Livia found more than convenient, as it would simply sterilize half the planet as she had proposed earlier.		Out of options and patience, Stardrive resorted to using Sata as a sword as she battled Vekktral, slicing off one of his arms to free Starscream. Their previous alliance forgotten, the Decepticons briefly teamed up with the Autobots and Space Knights to blast the Wraiths so as to prevent any more hybrids from coming into existence... only for Starscream and his Decepticons to immediately retreat in the hopes of grabbing the energon synthesizer. Stardrive pursued the Decepticons and managed to rip Starscream's wings off. In response, Starscream simply set the energon synthesizer to detonate so that the Autobots couldn't get their hands on it either—a solution that Livia found more than convenient, as it would simply sterilize half the planet as she had proposed earlier.

	The Knights and Autobots prepared to flee the planet, Stardrive briefly contending with a wounded Vekktral and abandoning him to his fate after scraping him off her wing. Safely in orbit once more, the heroes watched as the energon explosion ripped across the icy world, cauterizing the Dire Wraith infection but also killing thousands of innocent Xetaxxians. Unable to process what she had done, Stardrive ignored Livia's protests that their actions were in the name of the greater good and declared that she was no longer a Space Knight. Able to shed her metallic armor by virtue of her Transformer physiology, Stardrive assumed her starfigher form and flew away.

	Some time later, Stardrive had arrived on a distant, idyllic planet as she mused to herself that, while her entire life had been shaped by the prejudices of others, now was the time to start anew—unaware that a trace of the malicious Dire Wraith infection lingered within her.

	Indeed, Stardrive soon reported that they had lost contact with [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] as Unicron moved to consume the Transformer homeworld, and Prowl simply opined that the Transformers were destined to make their last stand on [[Earth]]. By the time that the ''Peaceful Revolution'' arrived in the [[Solar System]], however [[Sanctuary Station]] had already fallen. A vengeful Stardrive brought her hybrid power to bear, slaughtering her way through a hundred and fifty six Maximals... before Unicron himself tore through [[Jupiter]]'s atmosphere on a direct course for Earth to complete his mission of Cybertronian extinction. {{storylink\|Road's End}}		Indeed, Stardrive soon reported that they had lost contact with [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] as Unicron moved to consume the Transformer homeworld, and Prowl simply opined that the Transformers were destined to make their last stand on [[Earth]].

	The ''Peaceful Revolution'' caught up with Unicron as the monster planet entered Earth orbit; when Prowl wondered why Unicron didn't consume the planet then and there, Stardrive theorized that it was waiting until all of the stragglers had regrouped on Earth, unaware that Unicron was ''really'' waiting because it had sensed the presence of the corrosive [[Talisman (G1)\|Talisman]] somewhere on the planet. Pilot [[Goldbug (IDW)\|Goldbug]] brought their ship in for a landing on Earth, but accidentally warped directly ''into'' the planet's crust, materializing underneath [[Mount Rushmore]] in the middle of a battle between the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobot]]s and the [[Colonist Soldiers]]. {{storylink\|A Sunrise Dark}} When that battle was done with, the Autobots boarded the ''Peaceful Revolution'' and flew to [[Victoria Falls]] to regroup with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] and the other survivors of Cybertron.
