Poplock and his friends Raoul and Rocksteady were break-dancing outside the Dancitron when they were approached by a group of goons sent by the club to rough them up. As the trio fled, Poplock was skeptical that Raoul knew the Autobots, until they almost literally ran into Tracks and Blaster. The two Autobots took care of the thugs and let the Bop Crew fill them in on events so far. Afterward, the trio took the elevated train, only for the hypnotized driver to send it running out of control. They were saved once again by Tracks and Blaster, who had discovered something odd going on at the Dancitron.
Poplock and Rocksteady were left with Blaster, while Raoul and Tracks went back to investigate the club, much to Poplock's envy. As they waited for Blaster to consult Teletraan I, the pair were approached by a Dancitron promoter, offering them free tickets to the club, and Poplock saw their chance to prove their worth to Raoul and the Autobots. Unfortunately when they got to the club, they both fell victim to the hypnotizing music which Starscream and Soundwave were using to turn the club patrons into a willing workforce. By the time Tracks arrived, the duo led him into a Decepticon trap. They attempted to get Raoul hypnotized as well, but he threw a bucket of water over them, breaking their hypnotic trance.
Once the Bop Crew had freed Tracks, they jumped into his vehicle mode before he pursued Starscream over the city. The Decepticon was soon driven off, and they watched Blaster demolish the building which the human workforce had been constructing. Later, the Bop Crew requested the use of Blaster to replace their lost boombox, and were soon break-dancing once more. Auto-Bop
