During a major battle, Wheeljack had become trapped under some rubble in the middle of an inferno. Hot Shot could not free his friend, and left, promising to return with help.
However, Hot Shot's unit commander and his subordinate refused to help Wheeljack, saying that the flames were too hot to enter. Hot Shot objected and attempted to run back in, only to be obstructed by his fellow soldier and struck down by his officer. The officer cited that they could not risk the unit to save only one 'bot.
Hot Shot eventually got up, and despite the warnings of a court-martial, raced back into the flames hoping to save his friend. Past Part 1
Later, the Autobot officer showed up in the modern era with his subordinate, only to be gunned down by Decepticons.

Autobot Commander
This officer's own superior is a large, powerful-looking robot. It was he who suggested that Hot Shot take the rookie Wheeljack under his wing - a suggestion that ultimately ended in a tragedy which would come back to haunt Hot Shot years later.
Way to go, there.
Subordinate
The officer's subordinate does not question his orders. His voice is gruff, and he doesn't rhyme, despite looking like a buff Wheelie.
Trivia
- Like many Armada generics, these robots use Generation 1 character models. The Autobot officer uses the recolored animation model of Sureshot - but the more toy-based Headmasters model rather than the American comic model. Meanwhile, his superior uses the Headmasters model of Fortress Maximus, while his subordinate uses Wheelie's model.
