Back on Cybertron, during the final days of the war, Smokescreen was a security guard at the Iacon Hall of Records where he was the bodyguard of Alpha Trion. One day, the Hall was attacked by the Decepticons, and he was the only one who could anything to stop them. However, he was quicked overwhelmed and taken prisoner aboard a Decepticon transport ship. Once he woke up; he took off in an escape pod; going into stasis in the process. Megatron's Warship picked up the pod's beacon and brought it to Earth. Soon, Team Prime arrived on the scene where they were ambushed by and army of Vechicons and Insecticons. Smokesceen then appeared out of nowhere and accidently ignited a fuel line to the pod; blowing up the area. Optimus was very impressed by Smokescreen's valor, and offered him to bring him back to base. Once there, Jack gave him a tour of the base, showing him the Iacon Relics the team had gathered so far as well as Airachnid in her stasis pod. Following that, Jack accompanied him while looking for a vehicle-mode. Meanwhile, a still weak Bulkhead thought that Smokescreen was going to replace him. Eventually, Optimus, Arcee, and Bumblebee got over-powered by an Appex-armored Starscream while trying to obtain Red Energon; this gave Smokescreen the chance to prove himself. He arrived with the phase-shifter and knocked Starscream out of the armor. Team Prime lost the Red Energon, but obtained the Appex armor. An impressed Optimus then offered Smokescreen a spot on Team Prime, which Smokescreen almost immediately accepted. New Recruit
