Seawatch and his partners were some of the earliest Micromasters, their kind proving exceptionally effective during Cybertron's energon-starved times.EmirateXaaronassigned both the Rescue Patrol and the Race Car Patrol a mission, wherein they would stop the Decepticons' experimentation on the previously-capturedBattle Patrolby destroying the installation they were being kept in. Unfortunately, this meant killing everyone within in the process. Upon arrival on-site, Seawatch's group agreed that their mission felt wrong, and decided to instead stage a daring rescue attempt. Entry to the facility proved a little too easy... Turns out the Decepticons had already successfully reverse-engineered Micromaster technology, and were now using the Autobots to test their new Air Strike Patrol. With a bit of trickery onRoadhandler's part, the Autobots nonetheless managed to liberate their comrades and fled from the installation.A Small War!
While out and about on Cybertron, Seawatch was accosted by a trio of Decepticon bullies who took delight in picking on a bot smaller than themselves. He was only spared from further torment at their hands due to severalDemonsturning up and tearing the Decepticons to shreds. Seawatch was so traumatized by the gruesome spectacle that he became comatose. An Autobot patrol found him in this state, and it was quickly deduced that Seawatch was the only living witness to the attack. Not knowing what had offed the Decepticons, Emirate Xaaron taskedFixitwith rebooting Seawatch so they could learn the identity of the killers, and avoid reprisals from the Decepticons.Demons!Seawatch was brought back online despite Fixit's warnings that doing so prematurely could result in him becoming hopelessly insane. Though hysterical and shell-shocked, Seawatch was able to clue Xaaron in that the Demons were responsible for the slaughter. Armed with this information, Xaaron was able to devise the means to defeat the monstrous colossi.Dawn of Darkness
Along with the rest of the Rescue Patrol, Seawatch assisted theClassic Pretendersin eight successful raids onDecepticon-held facilities.Deciding that their efforts would be put to better use with Optimus's group, Xaaron elected to teleport Seawatch and the others to Earth, only for the trans-dimensional portal to be sabotaged by a Decepticon attack as they were preparing to enter it. Both the Autobots and their Decepticon adversaries were diverted to the face ofPrimus,deep within Cybertron as a result.Yesterday's Heroes!Seawatch witnessed a retelling ofCybertron's origin and the awakening ofPrimus,and battled theMayhem Attack Squadat the world's center as well. He soon engaged Bludgeon in some nonconsensual waterskiing deep into the caverns of Cybertron.The Primal Scream
