After the Chaos event, Hardhead, Wheelie, and Garnak left Cybertron with the Ark-27 to keep Jhiaxus away from Cybertron.

There, Bludgeon attacked the ship and rescued Jhiaxus. Syndromica (1) The crew used the Ark-27 to follow Bludgeon's ship to the Lenocinium Velnero System, where it was briefly caught in some time warps caused by LV-117.
