They formed a mutually beneficial alliance against Guardians and Renegades alike. Zero and the Master Renegade raided a global summit on pollution and made off with a plastic-eating algae that the Master was able to augment into a super-algae. On Gobotron, they used the super-algae to immobilize [[Zeemon]]'s [[Guardian Council]] as well as Leader-1's team when they tried to intervene. Now in control of Gobotron, Zero turned on the Master Renegade and incapacitated him in the algae next to the Guardians. Unfortunately for Zero, the Master Renegade told Leader-1 how to disable the algae, and soon the Guardian commander was free, chasing Zero through space as he desperately tried to escape. Instead, he flew right into Cy-Kill and his cloaked [[Thruster]]. Leader-1 gladly left Zero to Cy-Kill's tender mercies, and Zero was carted away by the Renegades to face their unique brand of justice. {{storylink\|Trash and Treachery}}

	~~Some time later~~, Zero ~~encountered~~ the [[Master Renegade]] at a bar in the [[Beta Leonis]] system. ~~Teaming up~~, they used ~~a genetically-engineered~~ super-algae to ~~neutralize the Guardians~~ in ~~Gobotolis.

[[Cy-Kill (GoBots)\|Cy-Kill]] tossed a thinly-veiled insult at Zero while congratulating Snoop on her effectiveness. The Renegades intercepted the Autobot [[Command Center (GoBots)\|Command Center]] on its way to Autobot City. Zero led the Renegades as subcommander during their brief but furious battle with [[Brawn (G1)\|Brawn]], [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Ironhide]], [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Prowl]], and [[Ratchet (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Ratchet]]. When Cy-Kill crooned about how easy the hijacking was, Zero shot back that [[Moonbase One]] was a true target of value. Cy-Kill waved off his lieutenant, however, focused on the prize of Autobot City once they slipped by their defenses.

			The Command Center failed to penetrate security undetected, however. [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Hot Rod]] and [[Nick Burns]] spotted Zero through the hole the Renegades blew in the shuttle, forcing the invaders to abandon ship before reaching the city. Zero tried to gun down [[Springer (G1)\|Springer]] and [[Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Arcee]] before they transformed Autobot City into fortress mode, but ended up having to shoot his own foot when he got caught in the folding and reconfiguring components. After a few more reality-shifts caused by Sideways and Gong, Zero was second-in-command to [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Megatron]] in a combined [[Decepticon]] and Renegade army. As the villains were driven into retreat aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)\|Astrotrain]], Zero took the opportunity to dispose of the seriously injured Megatron. He tossed his leader and the other injured soldiers out of the ship, and declared himself the new leader of the Decepticons. A number of objections arose from [[Tank (GoBots)\|Tank]], Snoop, [[Doctor Go\|Dr. Go]], and the [[Puzzler]] components, but Zero eventually came out on top. At his coronation ceremony in the Renegade [[Hall of Heroes]], Zero was crowned the new leader only seconds before being interrupted by the arrival of [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Galvatron]]. Shocked and confused by Galvatron's resemblance to Megatron, Zero didn't react when the newcomer converted to cannon mode and blasted him into ash. {{storylink\|Echoes and Fragments}}
