During [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]'s [[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|invasion of Earth]], Mercy Gale made sure that the [[Decepticon]] forces stayed out of [[London]]. Years later, once her criminal intentions were exposed, she got drunk in the [[Redcliffe Club]] (after [[Storm Shadow]] killed everyone else in the club) before she was approached by [[Joe Colton|Baron Ironblood]], recruiting for his anti-[[Transformer|Cybertronian]] squad. Though Mercy had no desire to travel to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], she agreed to lend him Storm Shadow and the [[Red Shadows]] in exchange for the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] upgrading their prosthetic limbs. {{storylink|The Origins of Evil, Part One: Redcliffe Club|Redcliffe Club}} Until the time came for the Talisman's deployment, Colton had [[Garrison Kreiger]] turn over the Talisman to Mercy who used her [[Secret Intelligence Service|SIS]] connections to store it in a bunker beneath [[Verenya]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Hasbro Heroes #2}}

After the Revolutionaries had stumbled upon the Talisman and the larger scheme, Mercy was on [[Section Sabine]] when [[Action Man]] was inadvertently teleported onto the station where she asked Ian to stand down, lest things turn ugly. Things turned ugly when Ian killed a Red Shadow and started a running firefight only for Storm Shadow to corner him.
