B'Boom was a one of the protoforms to be protected by Razorbeast's viral code, allowing him to remain a Maximal. He joined up with Razorbeast fairly early but was easily the most suspicious of Razorbeast and his motives due to the fact he had no evidence to back up his claim and he screamed Predacon to his sensor net. In the fight to get the Transwarp Amplifier from Ravage's downed Transwarp Cruiser B'Boom was thrashed by Magmatron but had to make do without a CR chamber. The Gathering #2
