Steve was assigned by Starscream along with fellow Vehicons XL-917 and XL-571 to construct an energon mine near the Sierra Ridge mountains. When the promised miners never turned up, the trio simply continued working until Steeljaw eventually stumbled on their operation. Steeljaw managed to convince Steve and the others that he was part of Megatron's army and began a new scheme with their help. While the other two Vehicons provided a distraction to draw the Autobots away, Steve helped Steeljaw capture Fixit and Russell Clay. Robots in Disguise #5
