Joe and his coworker were on their way to work at the power plant when their truck was mistaken for a possible Autobot by Thundercracker and Reflector. Thundercracker radioed this information back to Megatron, who sent Ravage to investigate.

Joe and his buddy arrived at the power plant to find it in shambles. His coworker commented that it looked like a tornado went through, but Joe thought there might be more to it than that. Just then, Ravage attacked, tackling each of them to the ground. They somehow managed to escape in their truck, but were in such a hurry they left their hard hats behind.
