Abner of the United States military liked cigars so much that he lit one up, only to be chastised by a superior, who reminded him that they were running "dark" and the light from a cigar would give away their presence. Abner tossed the cigar while mocking the idea that somebody would attack the train they were defending. The train was soon attacked by the Insecticons' locomotive mode. Hearts of Steel #2
