After being officially decommissioned, theDarklonwas run exclusively by pirates, bounty hunters, and other unsavory types. Twelve stellar cycles later, it was in the hands ofBreakaway.Requiring a spaceship as part of an Elite Guard mission,Powerflashrequisitioned some funds (by forgingSentinel Major's signature) and purchased the ship from Breakaway for a bargain price. Sprocket claimed to be able to talk to the ship's computer and that it had agreed to follow the orders of the Autobots. The team posed asNeutralsand offered the use of theDarklontoGutcruncher's band ofDecepticonswho were in search of a particular asteroid. After lift off, the Decepticons were subdued and locked in the brig, for them to escape. Gutcruncher wired a bomb into the ship's systems while his men raided the armory. Following a visit to aNucleondeposit on the asteroid, the Autobots managed to again subdue most of the Decepticons. Gutcruncher attempted to activate theDarklon's auto-defense systems, which Sprocket later claimed was because the computer didn't want to follow the Decepticon's orders. Gutcruncher then tried to activate his bomb to destroy the ship, butTap-Outhad already ejected the bomb from the ship. The Autobots returned toCybertronin theDarklonwith their captives.A Team Effort
