A lucky Mini-Con.

Impulsor's Mini-Con storage panel was one of several that were stored within Redline's chest compartment. Before Redline underwent the Master Key process to unlock his full potential, he entrusted the remaining two panels he held to Stella Holley. When the Unicron minion Ravenus attacked and made off with Twirl, Stella activated the two panels, realizing they needed more help, releasing Impulsor and his teammate Quench. The two were quickly joined by their leader Kingbolt, and the Hazard Team was back in action! Linkage Part 11

Impulsor tried to prevent the captured Aqua Raider Team from escaping, but their trans-phase mode "energy" forms were completely unaffected by his shots. He and Quench gave chase, but were called off since Redline had accomplished his task and neutralized the evil Mini-Cons' primary weapon, the Doomstone.

When the Mini-Cons on Earth gathered in order to meet up with their comrades under the care of the Autobots for their return to Cybertron, Impulsor gave Stella a great big hug. Which she took rather gracefully, really, considering she barely knew him. A hug Quench apparently got a little envious over. Linkage Part 12
