Loyal to Strika, Heavywait fought in the War of the Threefold Spark as a member of Strika's heavy artillery brigade. As a result of this loyalty, she followed her old leader right into the newly-founded Decepticons with several other veteran soldiers, and became a member of Strika's "New Heavies" during the Decepticon takeover of the Senate.

Along with the other Heavies, Heavywait joined the attack on the Forge Pyramid, expressing extreme confidence in her unit. Titans

Notes
- Much like Voxpop, Heavywait debuted as an unnamed generic in the 2005-2018 IDW universe, drawn by Kei Zama, later receiving a name and characterization in the 2019-2022 IDW continuity under the pen of author Brian Ruckley. As forged female Transformers did not exist on Cybertron during the pre-war era depicted in Optimus Prime, it is ambiguous as to whether the original Heavywait would be male or a rare transgender Cybertronian like Anode or Lug.
