Unknowingly having chosen a long-distance pod, Smokescreen was knocked into stasis lock. When he awoke, Smokescreen managed to slip past the guard and stole an escape pod. Inside Job Smokescreen's prone form was recovered by the Decepticons and he was thrown onto a transport ship. New Recruit While Smokescreen assumed that he had been knocked out by the Decepticons, he was actually knocked out by Alpha Trion himself who opened him up and stored one of the Omega Keys in his body. Smokescreen thought his chance had come when the Decepticons attacked Iacon directly, but instead he was immediately knocked into stasis by an explosion. Overtime, he grew to befriend Alpha Trion even as he continued to yearn for combat.
To his disappointment, he ended up on security detail at the Iacon Hall of Records guarding Alpha Trion and the relics in the Vaults. Maybe if I punch the screen hard enough, I'll be able to escape.īack on Cybertron in the latter part of the war, Smokescreen was keen to be a soldier and underwent training with the Elite Guard, although it was more of a boot camp at the time.
