When the Quintessons first arrived on Aquatron, the Gamekeeper ate severalSharkticonrebels. According to it, "they tasted sweet".

Much later,Optimus PrimeandMegatronfound their way into the caves after they were disposed of by the Quintessons. They stumbled across the Gamekeeper, who taunted the two Transformers about the impending Quintesson invasion ofCybertron.The Gamekeeper's mockery enraged Megatron, who immediately tried to kill the monster. Optimus managed to restrain it long enough for Megatron to rip out its eyestalks and stab it with a nearby stalactite. The Gamekeeper died soon after, but not before telling the two leaders about the original Sharkticon rebellion.Transformers: Retribution
