Starscream was on monitoring duty at Shockwave's base when he spotted a visitation by the Insecticons, spying for Megatron as part of the Decepticon Civil War. After a quick trip to the armoury, Starscream was ready. The Insecticons attacked him, so he pulled out the rustbug hoop and casually swatted them all. Bugged!
