Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

Voice actor: Jeremy Levy (English), Luca Bottale (Italian)

When it was determined that Optimus had made a mistake in launching the AllSpark, the Ark was launched to retrieve it, Rack'n'Ruin amongst its crew. As the ship sailed through the void however, its energon stores dipped, forcing the crew into stasis pods. Teletraan-1 eventually tracked the AllSpark to Earth only for the Ark to suffer a hull breach and crash-land in Mount St. Hilary. Eruption

Some 66 million years later, Shockwave trapped Bumblebee in a false memory to try and extract the Ark's location from his brain. Within the illusion, Rack'n'Ruin was present at Optimus' announcement where the AllSpark was found and cheered on with the rest of the crew. They later encountered Bumblebee in a corridor aboard the Ark and told him that there had been explosions in two of the engine rooms, not knowing that Bumblebee was the responsible party. Sabotage

Not long afterward, the real Rack'n'Ruin, along with the rest of the crew, was reawakened by Bumblebee and Teletraan-X in time to see the Decepticon fleet invade Earth. Eruption Later, during a battle on the Moon, they knocked some Seekers about, only to get blown away by a few projectiles sent by Soundwave. Sea of Tranquility

Later, Bumblebee asked Rack'n'Ruin if they had seen a creature during their recent battle, to which both denied doing so. They managed to stack a large group of crates and continued to admire their work until a hyperactive Grimlock smashed straight through it. The Visitor

Notes

• Unlike prior incarnations of the character—who were formerly two independent Autobots artificially modified into their present state—story editor Randolph Heard has clarified that this version of Rack'n'Ruin was simply Sparked as conjoined twins. According to him, Shockwave's creation of a two-headed Seeker was inspired by Rack'n'Ruin.
