Scourge deployed Freezer and Novakane to retrieve the Transwarp Key and kill the two humans aware of its existence, Elena Wallace and Noah Diaz. They pursued them through the museum, having the brute strength to smash through doors, but also moving stealthily with their ability to cling to walls. When one of them was about to get to Elena, Noah momentarily stopped him by hitting his head with a relic, and the humans managed to run out the exit, where a heated battle between the Autobots and the Terrorcons was taking place. Both Freezer and Novakane followed the humans outside, where they attacked and fought against Mirage until the battle was over.

During the final battle for the Transwarp Key in Peru, Novakane was dispatched alone—as his partner had already been killed off—to hunt Elena through the access tunnel, and cornered her over a pool of lava before she impaled him in the head and sent him falling into the magma. Rise of the Beasts
