During the battle of Mission City, Kevin's parents were killed.

Several years later, Kevin and his friend Gilbert Poole were at Gilbert's house trying to work on a science project, despite the party being thrown for Gilbert's sister by her boyfriend Douglas Porter. When a news item about a giant robot attack caused a confrontation between Kevin and Douglas, the latter of whom asserted that it was a hoax, Kevin left on his bicycle. On a road outside town, he spied a meteor crashing to Earth and encountered the Autobot Gears. Gears befriended the boy by saving him from being run down by a careless driver. After Gears defeated the Decepticon Reverb, Kevin insisted on joining Gears's mission as a guide.

With Kevin's guidance, they traveled north to Hawthorne Army Depot, where Gears intended to protect an ancient cache of weapons. Reverb arrived, accompanied by Bumblebee and Ratchet, and Kevin had to convince the two Autobots that the Decepticon had been misleading them. Reverb, however, geared up with weapons from the cache in the cave, and during the battle, Duane and four other soldiers were transported to another place in the Universe. With the aid of a hologram supplied by Gears, Kevin lured Reverb into the cave, allowing Gears to destroy Reverb's force field generator and enabling the Decepticon's ultimate defeat.

Optimus Prime later convinced General Marcus to allow Kevin to join NEST, so they boy could work to find his lost brother. Switching Gears
