Shortly after the Simanzi Massacre, Skids was captured by a Hygiene Team and brought to Grindcore, where he shared a cell with Quark. Speak, Memory: Part 1 While there, he performed some repairs for Tarn, the prison's commandant; notably including the "teleport generator" of the "teleport chamber". While Skids believed he did good by allowing a chance for other inmates to become slaves on worlds such as Ambervalia rather than just rotting away in cells, more accurate names for the device would include "Incinerator", "Smelting chamber", and "Furnace". In truth, Grindcore's prisoners were fated to be melted down into their raw sentio metallico, to be used in the construction of Decepticon M.T.O.s.
