In 1989, the Triggercons were chafing under the leadership of the Triumverate - fed up of decadence, they wanted to return warfare and conquest. When Megatron returned to assume command and Triumverate tried to shoot him in the back, the Triggercons saved him (by shooting the Triumverate in the back).

Ruckus and Windsweeper seemed to meet with Thunderwing's approval, as after this they were drafted in the Matrix Quest under his personal command.

They were nearly killed by Thunderwing and the corrupted Matrix, and surrendered to the Autobots after the battle. All Fall Down
