	During a planet-wide Decepticon attack on [[oil]] refineries, the Triggercons were spread throughout several cities and holding off the slower Powermasters. Luckily the Triggerbots arrived! The team masterfully exploited their strengths and the enemy's weakness by drawing the Triggercons into built-up urban areas (....uh....) where they could ~~manouver~~ faster. During this, they weathered friendly fire from humans (maybe cos you took the fight into a damn city). {{storylink\|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 11\|He Who Laughs Last ...}} After this, that bastard Crankcase clearly defected to join the evil Triggercons Dogfight and Override!{{storylink\|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 12\|Transformers in Action: "By their Blasters you shall know them ...!"}}		During a planet-wide Decepticon attack on [[oil]] refineries, the Triggercons were spread throughout several cities and holding off the slower Powermasters.

	During a major threat to the Earth, Backstreet was in charge of the [[Rocket Base]] and its joint Triggerbot-[[Micromaster]] crew. When the Decepticons seemed likely to use [[Super Blaster]]s, Backstreet did a bad thing for the greater good: he started ceasefire negotiations, then had his crew gun down the unprepared Decepticons. Earth was saved {{storylink\|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 13\|The Energon Trap}} ''but at what moral cost?!''

	The Triggerbots, along with [[Crosshairs (G1)\|Crosshairs]] and [[Sureshot (G1)\|Sureshot]], formed a security team that accompanied the new Autobot leader [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Hot Rod]] in apprehending the errant [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobot]] [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Grimlock]] on his return to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. Although offered the choice to come quietly, Grimlock chose to do things the hard way, resisting all the way to [[Bastion-five lock-up]], where he managed to escape by apparently infecting [[Perceptor (G1)\|Perceptor]] with [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Scorponok]]'s [[Gene Key]]. {{storylink\|Natural Selection, Part Two}} Shortly afterwards, Dogfight fell victim to the Gene Key, {{storylink\|Natural Selection, Part Three\|Natural Selection, Part Three cover}} as did Override, {{storylink\|Natural Selection, Part Three}} and they assisted Scorponok and Perceptor in constructing a large-scale version of the device at the [[Sonic Canyons]]. Thankfully, Perceptor was only bluffing and managed to reverse the Gene Key's effects, shouting at the Triggercons to get clear while Grimlock and Scorponok battled for the last time. {{storylink\|Natural Selection, Part Five}}		The Triggerbots, along with [[Crosshairs (G1)\|Crosshairs]] and [[Sureshot (G1)\|Sureshot]], formed a security team that accompanied the new Autobot leader [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Hot Rod]] in apprehending the errant [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobot]] [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Grimlock]] on his return to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]].

	Having survived the battle against the forces of [[Jhiaxus (G2)\|Jhiaxus]] at the [[Hub (G2)\|Hub Network]], Backstreet returned first to Cybertron, then formed part of a squad under Prowl's command that travelled by [[space bridge]] to Earth, where they were ambushed by [[Linda Chang]]'s troops in the [[Glass Mountains]]. After [[Roadbuster (G1)\|Roadbuster]] had negotiated a ceasefire, the [[human]]s and Autobots united and journeyed to [[Nebulos]], defeating the corrupted [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Fortress Maximus]] in the [[Clar Macro-jungle]]. {{storylink\|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}		Having survived the battle against the forces of [[Jhiaxus (G2)\|Jhiaxus]] at the [[Hub (G2)\|Hub Network]], Backstreet returned first to Cybertron, then formed part of a squad under Prowl's command that travelled by [[space bridge]] to Earth, where they were ambushed by [[Linda Chang]]'s troops in the [[Glass Mountains]].
