After the Constructicons completed work on the device in a ghost town in the middle of nowhere, Megatron immediately tested it on the first Decepticon who complained. The transfixatron successfully trappedStarscreamin his jet mode, and proved its worth. A second blast restored Starscream's ability to transform.
When the Autobots undertook a motor race for charity, Megatron used the opportunity to use the transfixatron on them.Skywarpteleported from a remote location to the air above the Autobots and fired the transfixatron on the racing Autobots, trapping them all in their vehicular modes. Skywarp was called "delightfully treacherous" by Megatron for his actions.
Bumblebee,Ratchet,Wheeljack,andHuffermanaged to escape the transfixatron because they chose not to participate in the race. These Autobots, with the help ofSpikeandChip Chase,managed to develop agrenadethat could counteract the effects of the transfixatron, which was ultimately destroyed, but not before being used againstDevastator,causing him to dismantle...for some reason.The Autobot Run

The Constructicons built the Transfixatron and used it against the Autobots during a charity race they were holding. Unfortunately for the Decepticons, the Autobots were just as adept at fighting in their vehicle modes, and were able to hold their own until the Transfixatron's effects were reversed. The machine was subsequently destroyed.Autobot Run
