General no-goodnik Nino Sexton pulled a minor heist and discovered that Isaac Sumdac's new automated Detroit police force are colossally stupid. Aiming to make a clean getaway, he attempted to steal a cute little yellow car, only to discover that not all robots are that dumb. At first the young Autobot showed off, running rings around him. However, an argument broke out between Bumblebee and Bulkhead, which resulted in the destruction of the boardwalk on which all three were standing. Rescued by Optimus Prime, Nino was sent straight to jail.

After Megatron manipulated Sumdac Systems' computers to post Nino's bail, he also had them deliver a prototype speed-enhancing suit to the newly freed crook. Realizing his good fortune, Nino did what anyone sensible would do: He went on a crime spree. Taking the nom de guerre of "Nanosec", Sexton soon found that when moving at high speeds, he could receive communications from his robotic benefactor. Megatron offered him access to Isaac Sumdac's bank account in exchange for a heist to acquire a substance to rebuild Megatron's body.
Though the heist itself went flawlessly, Nanosec was hotly pursued by the Autobots. Due to an uncoordinated battle plan, however, he was able to escape them repeatedly. Finally, Bumblebee noticed the aging effects of Nanosec's superspeed and literally ran the vigorous villain into a geriatric state. Harsh, Bumblebee. Nanosec
