<i>Smeltdown was part of a marauding group of mutants who encountered the young <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot" title="Autobot">Autobots</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tailgate" title="Tailgate">Tailgate</a>, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Flattop_%28Autobot%29" title="Flattop (Autobot)">Flattop</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Subsea" title="Subsea">Subsea</a> in the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Underworld" title="Underworld">Underworld</a>
when the trio foolishly decided to take the ancient Autobot "trial by
