Apparently operating out of a trailer in <a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Tucson&action=edit" class="new" title="Tucson">Tucson</a>, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Arizona&action=edit" class="new" title="Arizona">Arizona</a> under the name "Finklerock", Stoker infiltrated a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon" title="Decepticon">Decepticon</a> bunker in <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nebraska" title="Nebraska">Nebraska</a> and took pictures of the interior, storing them on his <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/SM-40" title="SM-40">SM-40</a> computer. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Infiltration_issue_3" title="Infiltration issue 3">Infiltration issue 3</a></span> Stoker boarded a bus in <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Phoenix" title="Phoenix">Phoenix</a>, and had his SM-40 stolen by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Verity_Carlo" title="Verity Carlo">Verity Carlo</a> while he napped. Before he could discover the theft, he was killed by Decepticon agents <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Runamuck_%28G1%29" title="Runamuck (G1)">Runamuck</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Runabout" title="Runabout">Runabout</a>. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Infiltration_issue_0" title="Infiltration issue 0">Infiltration issue 0</a></span>
His body was somehow removed from the bus and dumped in the desert,
where it was discovered by the police (among them a Machination agent,
