Fiction

Generation 2 Marvel UK comics

We're feeling really dumb today. Let's get him!

The Stormtroopers were part of Bludgeon's forces dispatched on Earth to basically wreck stuff until Optimus Prime came to stop them. When Megatron appeared to take back leadership of the Decepticons, the Stormtroopers were called in to attack Megatron.

Aquablast had his doubts that team leader Rage really had Bludgeon's safety in mind, and figured he was about to look at a long list of repairs after this battle. How he fared in the following fight is unknown. War Zone

Timelines: Wings of Honor continuity

Nine million years ago, Aquablast was a member of Rage's gang of Decepticon Stormtroopers. Taking advantage of the civil instability, the Stormtroopers attempted to grab power and prestige for themselves on the coattails of the Decepticon Warlords. When a Decepticon strike force tore through an Autobot fortress in Glibex, Rage and his team came in after they left and claimed the empty fortress for themselves. An engineer by trade, Aquablast worked with his fellow tinkerer Hydradread to turn the fortress into a mobile battle platform, the Metrotitan.

Sometime later, Aquablast and the Stormtroopers prepped a raid on the deserted outpost, Median, in the hopes of acquiring the long-buried Heart of the Dragon from an archeologist team. Aquablast whipped up a zero-friction accelerator oil for their engines, and the four Stormtroopers rolled into Median after their "hitter", Roadgrabber, made an entrance through the fortifications. After a brief but memorable exchange with the Elite Guard operatives guarding Median, the Stormtroopers split up and fled deeper into the outpost, looking for the urn that contained the Heart. Aquablast and Rage found it, and secured the Heart for departure. They were discovered by Ironfist and Vortex, but Aquablast was able to bring the pair of Autobots down using his chemical cannon.

Before depature, Rage wanted to check and see if the lead archeologist Glyph had any further notes on the Heart they could use. After tracking down the hiding civilians, the Stormtroopers threatened Glyph into turning over her research. When she refused to comply, Aquablast burned a hole through her chest with his cannon and retrieved her datapad anyway. He was about to do the same to Greenlight when the last archeologist, Lancer, shot him through the head first. Aquablast's face was nothing more than a gaping hole after that, and he fell to the ground, dead. Flames of Yesterday
