	Zetar was later assigned to a field team exploring the [[Sonic Canyons]], searching for evidence of [[Exarchon]]'s return. His drilling services were put to use by the exploration unit of [[Landmine (G1)\|Landmine]] and [[Geomotus]]. After they uncovered an unnatural rock formation, Zetar tunneled diagonally into it to see if it was a hidden entrance. {{storylink\|War's End Part One}} Just as he did, however, Exarchon himself emerged from the secret base, with the powerful dragon body of [[Deathsaurus (G1)\|Deathsaurus]]. The rest of his team was trapped in a shallow crevice, so Zetar drilled around them to create an escape tunnel in the opposite direction. They infiltrated a Rise base to find a number of ~~concerns elements~~, such as an [[imploder]], a massive drill, and a horde of Skywarp drones. {{storylink\|War's End Part Two}} The Autobots quickly realized they might be the only thing between Exarchon and the destruction of Cybertron. {{storylink\|War's End Part Three}}		Zetar was later assigned to a field team exploring the [[Sonic Canyons]], searching for evidence of [[Exarchon]]'s return.

	Soon Exarchon's plan became apparent, as he dislodged a portion of his spark into the drill. The tunneling vehicle would dig down to the Allspark itself at the core of Cybertron, allowing the Threefold Spark to corrupt the entire living planet at once. Zetar and the others raced to intercept the drill before it reached its destination. Geomotus and Landmine guided Zetar in tunneling ahead of the drill, attacking it as it reached an open space. When [[Soundblaster (G1)\|Soundblaster]] tried to stop them, Landmine was sent hurtling into the drill tank, stalling it. At [[Sureshot (G1)\|Sureshot]]'s order, Zetar launched his own drill mode at the tunneling vehicle, chewing through it for a massive explosion that brought an end to Exarchon once and for all. {{storylink\|War's End Part Four}}		Soon Exarchon's plan became apparent, as he dislodged a portion of his spark into the drill.
