Armorhide was one of several Autobot protoforms who was converted into a Decepticon by the Predacons. For his alternate mode, a tank was selected, giving him both durability and firepower - his primary weapon is the plasma mortar. As soon as he was activated, he was turned on the Autobots, and would involved in almost all of Megatron and Scourge's plans to accquire energy.

Armorhide's notable missions included the plan to sabotage multiple hydro-electric dams, where his team first combined into Ruination, and the attempt to fool the Autobots to believe that the Decepticons had reverted to their Autobot programming.

Armorhide was also involved sabotaging the Global Space Bridge, where he and Rollbar argued about what to do with the computer system controlling the space bridge's system (he wanted to destroy it, unsurprisingly). In addition, he, along with the other Commandos, all tried to provoke the Build Team into a confrontation by destroying construction vehicles - a scheme that ultimately resulted in Armorhide and the others suffering retribution at the hands of Landfill.

When Scourge turned on Megatron, he went along with it same as the others, only to be reprogrammed again by Megatron when the plan failed. In the final battle, Armorhide and the other Commandos were again defeated, and Armorhide and was incarcerated on an asteroid prison with his comrades.
