Fiction

Marvel Comics continuity

Marvel UK continuity

Flywheels suggested to the Autobots he had been teamed up with that they could jam the signal controlling the zombie army that was roaming the streets of Kalis. Meeting a positive response, Flywheels then suggested they'd use the old Baird Beaming Transmitter that was only a ten klik-drive away.

While the Sparkabots distracted the zombies, Flywheels and Ultra Magnus went to the transmitting station not only to stop the dead but also to find out where the signal came from. At the Baird Beaming Transmitter, Ultra Magnus reluctantly gave Flywheels his gun back so he could act as guard. After some fiddling with the building's main terminal, Ultra Magnus's managed to jam the signal just in time for both units. One zombie in the building somehow wasn't affected by the loss of transmittance and readied to attack Ultra Magnus, but Flywheels took him out. City of Fear!

Regeneration One

Template:Noterg1 Twenty-one years after the Last Autobot's regeneration of Cybertron, Soundwave led the remnants of the Decepticons in a raid on the Baird Beaming Transmitter, killing the Autobot guards and taking control of the device. He then used it to direct the ordnance of one of Cybertron's orbital defence satellites against the Last Autobot's tower in Iacon, apparently destroying the the ancient Transformer. Counterpoint
