While searching out the Geosynchronous Energon Bridge's main controls deep underground, Air Raid came across a lone Core Mite. The two stared at each other for a bit before Ironhide suggested using the universal greeting on it. The Mite ran off before a confused Air Raid could try it.

Transformers: Exiles
Thundertron and Wreck-Gar used the universal greeting several times. Wreck-Gar noted that Thundertron did not intend to act peacefully, even though he used the universal greeting when he first encountered the Junkions.
