During the Combiner Wars, a series of out of control space bridge portals warped the brawling combiners outside Delta as it drove. Override dispatched Knock Out and Moonracer to investigate, the two finding the footprints of the giants. All That Remains
After Cybertron recontacted Velocitron, Moonracer encouraged Windblade to enter the Benefit 500 and propose an alliance.

When Cybertron lost contact with Velocitron, Windblade sent Cliffjumper and a small team to Delta via space bridge to investigate the communications blackout.
