Train Wars
The Trainbots were wounded fighting the Nine Great Demon Generals, who tore them apart in their Raiden configuration. Blaming himself, Shouki left the team, removed his ability to combine and began fighting alone, all so that he would never endanger a comrade again. While having his body modified into a new form at Metrobase, he saved Daniel Witwicky from the Jet Corps. Daniel had a plan to infiltrate the Decepticons by disguising Shouki as the Thunder Arrow, though the former Trainbot chafed at the prospect of Daniel being his partner. Train Wars: Shouki & Daniel Chapter After Kickback had stolen data specs of Metroplex's new body, Shouki disguised himself as the Thunder Arrow and lay in wait for the Insecticon to come to him. In due course, the Decepticon approached Shouki and was wholly fooled by his disguise, allowing the Autobot and Daniel to strike down Kickback and incinerate the data he was carrying. Though Daniel congratulated Shouki on a job well done, the Autobot wasn't too keen on partnering himself with the boy; remembering what had happened to his comrades from Zone, Shouki urged Daniel to distance himself from him so that he wouldn't come into harm's way. The conversation was interrupted by an emergency signal emanating from Cybertron, and the pair took off for the mechanical world.
Upon arrival, Shouki was accosted by The Fallen, who had burned his way to Cybertron's core in order to reach Vector Sigma. The ancient Transformer sardonically thanked Overdrive for guiding him to his goal, a statement which Shouki misinterpreted as meaning that Overdrive was in cahoots with The Fallen. He prepared to blast Overdrive, only to be stopped by Alpha Trion. The elder advised Shouki to consider the situation at hand without letting his emotions cloud his judgement. Alpha Trion furthermore directed Shouki's attention to Vector Sigma as it activated itself, prompting Overdrive to petition his spark and his Quantum Dial to the super-computer in order to stave off The Fallen. To Shouki's disbelief, the pact was made and several cosmically-displaced Transformers materialized about to fight back against The Fallen. Train Wars
