When the [[Autobot]]s were searching for [[Decepticon]]s after they were scattered post-[[Unicron]], they turned their eyes to [[Carbombya]]. [[Abdul Fakkadi|President Fakkadi]] insisted that he harbored no Decepticons, but [[Outback]] and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] arrived to search his air force nonetheless. When Blaster lamented the difficulty in finding their quarry, Outback produced a device he claimed was a "Decepticon detector." Blaster expressed disbelief, and Outback admitted he was making it up. But when they were actually on the airfield, Outback announced that he had it and waved it around. Spooked, [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] suddenly took off.
