Fiction
Armada comics continuity
The four who would become the Four Horsemen were initally abducted by Unicron so he could search in their memories for information on what preceded his arrival. The End
Energon comics continuity
Ten years later, Rhinox, Airazor, Terrorsaur and Cheetor had been turned into a new batch of loyal minions for the Chaos Bringer. In reaction to Optimus Prime's efforts to rouse a counterforce to him, Unicron sent his Horsemen to Cybertron in order to destroy what they could, but primarily delay the Autobots from leaving for Earth.

The Four Horsemen made quick work of many of the Cybertronians, the outcome of the battle appearing decided from the get-go. While the other three took out whomever came within range, Rhinox specifically concentrated most of his battle efforts on Optimus Prime, taunting him through belittling and apocalyptic speeches. He was near to finishing off the Prime when the Omnicons arrived with the element of surprise, new firepower and advice to Optimus on how to turn the tide of battle. Upon Optimus connecting to the Hub, a system-wide upgrade was declared: Optimus was granted the Spark of Combination as every Transformer on Cybertron was reformatted into their Energon forms. With the new-found ability to powerlinx with each other, the Autobots made quick work of the Horsemen. They called retreat, though with the promise that the Autobots' present victory meant nothing.
