The first three members of the Mayhem Attack Squad - Bludgeon, Stranglehold, and Octopunch - were assigned to assassinate the Autobot Pretenders Bumblebee, Jazz, and Grimlock. Yesterday's Heroes!
After initially failing to kill the Autobots, the Squad was accidentally sent deep inside Cybertron along with the Autobots. The two groups met inside a huge chamber containing a sleeping Primus, and promptly set about trying to kill each other.
After the Squad had been utterly crushed, Octopunch made one final attack against a distracted Grimlock, which was deflected by Grimlocks armor and ended up hitting Primus in the face. Consequently, Primus awoke, drawing Unicron to his ancient enemy's location.
