Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

While on the planet Mato Grosso, Vekktral assaulted a field trip overseen by the Solstar Order and found an unusual creature that his instincts told him was both a machine and a child. Before he could study it further, he shot by a Neutralizer and teleported away.

Eventually however, Vekktral deduced that the creature was a Cybertronian and reached out to the Decepticons to propose an alliance. In exchange for the femme and the Solstar Order's energon synthesizer, Vekktral wanted the Decepticons to aid his forces in luring the Solstar Order into a trap. His terms were agreed to and he was lent Starscream's squad with Vekktral becoming a co-leader of the group along with Starscream. After the alliance had slain a Galactic Council force due to meet with the Solstar Order, the Wraiths assumed the forms of the dignitaries while Astrotrain became their shuttle.

Arriving at the space station, Vekktral (in the guise of the Council representative) exchanged in some false pleasantries with the Solstar ambassador before he slew him while shedding his disguise and gave the order for the attack to commence. To Stardrive's horror, she recognized Vekktral as the Wraith who had almost killed her on Mato Grosso. Vekktral then pointed out the promised Cybertronian to Starscream (who could tell for himself which one was Cybertronian). Shining Armor #1
