| Hippotank, along with the crew of a ship, left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to escape the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson}} They settled in a region where they forwent currency and adopted a barter system. {{storylink|Stick Together}} When the planet was reborn, it sent out a signal to all Cybertronians to return home, and Hippotank's group followed. The planet attacked the ship as it was landing, sending Hippotank into an annoyed mood. He stormed out of his ship to confront [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Metalhawk]], but calmed down after hearing Metalhawk soundly criticize the [[Autobot]]s, who then took him on a tour of the city. He later tried to protect [[Zetca (G1)|Zetca]] from [[Needlenose]] and [[Horri-Bull]]'s beatings, but was knocked aside by Needlenose. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson}} Hippotank later argued with [[Tappet]] over the former's refusal to exchange a [[Betelgusian sputtle-prog]] for [[Cassanian quadrocheque]]s. {{Storylink|Stick Together}}

| ==Notes==
| |
| * Hippotank appeared in several issues before he was finally named, in a article previewing upcoming issues of both ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' and ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]''<ref>http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=38547</ref>. Said article, however, spelt his name incorrectly, as Hipotank. Thankfully Andrew Griffith was onhand to issue a swift rebuttle<ref>http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?p=286405#286405</ref>.
