Icebird was one of the many protoforms from the remaining Axalon stasis pods to be reactivated by Razorbeast. He and his fellow Mutants took up residence in a swamp. When a Predacon scouting party intruded on their home, Icebird was the first Mutant they spotted. Their leader Transquito followed him, fooled by his seemingly-harmless owl mode.
