Fiction
Shattered Glass
Following their bad defeat at Decepticon City on Earth at the hands of the Decepticons, Prowl was among the injured Autobots who boarded Sky Lynx to head for Cybertron. Restoration When their ride announced they'd have to lighten their load, Prowl, being among the most severely wounded of the Autobots, was dumped out of the airlock along with Optimus Prime and a number of others. They subsequently found themselves in the presence of Unicron. Familiar Reflections Unicron reformatted Prowl, turning him into Checkpoint, while Inferno and Ratchet became his troops, the Autotroopers. Collectively as the Knights of Unicron, they returned to Cybertron to help Nova Prime overthrow Rodimus. Out of the One, Many
As the Autotroopers took the Decepticons into custody, the Dark Primus revealed his robot mode and prepared to do battle with the invaders, his multiversal sister Gaea, hidden inside positive-Earth. Nova Prime deployed the Knights to Primus's shoulders, where they blasted the insane god in the eye, blinding him long enough for Gaea to finish the fight.

Notes
- Prowl's design is based on the 2008 Universe Prowl toy, with a color scheme taken from the Mexican release of the Generation 1 Prowl toy. As Checkpoint, his design is based on Combiner Wars Offroad, with Combiner Wars Trailbreaker's head and Energon Checkpoint's color scheme.
- Checkpoint commanding the Autotroopers mirrors normalverse Scourge and his Sweeps but with a much cooler color scheme.
