Ricochet was a saboteur acting with an Autobot strike team to dispose of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] and his [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]]s. On [[Ceti Alpha Seven]], Ricochet and his teammates [[Fallback]], [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and [[Flareup (Timelines)|Flareup]] were attacked by [[Virulent Clone]]s on their way to Deathsaurus's laboratory. The others were captured, and so was the back-up team of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]. Fortunately, Autobot Intelligence chose Ricochet for the mission 'cuz he's the best. Ricochet avoided capture and detection, snuck into the enemy base, and freed his fellow Autobots. He also installed a viral program in the batch initiator protocols for the Insecticon clones, ensuring that all future productions by Deathsaurus's equipment would be corrupted.

Others have learned to roll their eyes at his grand stories, and when he tells them that the clamp on his right arm isn't just used for filing, but is actually a cadmium jacketed missile launcher, no one's sure if he's lying or if he's genuinely deluded.
