But let's not talk about him again.

While on a mission to search for subterranean terrorist bases beneath the Toraxxis Plains, the Dynobots encountered powerful monsters dwelling in the caverns, creatures that almost wiped them out. In a desperate bid to survive, Skar used his research to scan the creatures and adapt his team into new alt-modes based on them, granting them the strength they needed to fight back. Unfortunately, the process also caused the Dynobots' minds to deteriorate into those of beasts, and Skar was killed by his own leader and best friend, Grimlock, during their rampage. His death caused the other Dynobots to be overcome with grief and factored into their desertion from the Primal Vanguard, and Grimlock would always feel guilty for what he had done.
