Fever Dream was in charge of Iacon Communications Services when theVehicon Apocalypsebegan.Iaconcame under siege from maraudingVehiconswho assimilated their victims into moreanti-sparkeddrones, including theBuilder Assemblythemselves. None of this mattered to Fever Dream, of course, since it wasn't true. As he saw it, everything was fine as theMicromaster 001stdefended theHigh Pavilionand routed theResistance,all thanks to our friends, the Vehicons.

When his anchor,Rook,refused to get on board with the company line, Fever Dream considered replacing him to do the broadcast himself. After Rook countermanded his instructionson the air,well, Fever Dream had to break in and assure the audience that everything was fine. This was slightly difficult to accomplish when our friends, the Vehicons, blasted into the studio and assimilated all of his staff during the broadcast, but Fever Dream persevered. Even as aCopter Droneplunged its fingers into Fever Dream's chest and released its nano-vector virus, the executive producer made sure the audience knew it was t-t-t-TERMINATE!Derailment
