	It wasn't long before the two Triple Changers fell in with [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]] and plotted to overthrow Megatron. What their co-conspirator didn't realize was that Astrotrain and Blitzwing intended to rule alone and once both he and their leader were out of the way the Triple Changers attempted to take over Earth in their own fashion. Astrotrain created a number of trains he controlled while Blitzwing took over a football stadium. Their rule lasted roughly as long as it took for Megatron and Starscream to thaw themselves out and then the pair found they faced [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]]. {{storylink\|Triple Takeover}}		It wasn't long before the two Triple Changers fell in with [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]] and plotted to overthrow Megatron.

	It wasn't long before the two Triple Changers fell in with [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]] and plotted to overthrow Megatron.
