G.B. Blackrock personally, but unsuccessfully, supervised the defense of Blackrock Enterprises's oil-drilling platform from a hostile takeover by Shockwave. The Worse of Two Evils!
G.B. Blackrock watched the news of the Decepticons' takeover of Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant Number One from his office in Portland. Warrior School!
G.B. Blackrock speculated that whoever was targeting Blackrock Enterprises facilities was doing so because of the facilities' advanced technology. He was confident that the combined might of Blackrock Enterprises and the United States Army forces under Colonel Hawthorne would be able to drive the robots out of the aerospace plant. But then Shockwave emerged and gave them a good thrashing. Repeat Performance!
General Capshaw appealed to G.B. Blackrock's sense of patriotism by urging him not to draw attention to the robot problem by publicizing his new anti-robot superweapon. G.B. Blackrock defiantly told the general that he put a higher priority in protecting the profits of the investors and stockholders of Blackrock Enterprises. Later, G.B. Blackrock was working late in his office in Portland when he got a visit from Josie Beller, who revealed her new identity as Circuit Breaker. G.B. Blackrock was later approached by Jazz who explained about the Autobot/Decepticon war. The two struck a deal: the Autobots would provide protection from the Decepticons in exchange for free fuel from any of Blackrock's gas stations. G.B. Blackrock agreed. Shortly thereafter, at Blackrock Motor Speedway, G.B. Blackrock unveiled Blackrock Enterprises's new Anti-Robot Photonic Multi-Cannon, which was sabotaged by Circuit Breaker. DIS-Integrated Circuits!
The Autobots gave G.B. Blackrock a tour of the Ark, and he thought about how access to the technology he witnessed would give Blackrock Enterprises a major advantage over the competition. The Next Best Thing to Being There!
Five Autobots took advantage of the deal struck with Blackrock and bought gasoline from a Blackrock filling station using their Blackrock Gold Priority Card. The converters Wheeljack installed in their fuel intakes converted the gasoline into a form they can use. Rock and Roll-Out!
Jetfire and Jazz were taking delivery of a shipment of fuel at Blackrock's chemical plant near Portland when it was attacked by Thrust and Bombshell. An out-of-control fire started by the Decepticons threatened environmental catastrophe for the area, but fortunately Jetfire's instinct for protecting humans kicked in and he managed to extinguish it. The Gift
While G.B. Blackrock was under the influence of a portable stroboscopic opticon he held a press conference in Blackrock Enterprises's corporate headquarters in Portland to explain the new direction the company was taking into the car wash business. Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom
Eventually, under Grimlock's leadership, Wheeljack developed the Geothermal Generator which provided vast amounts of energy directly from the Earth's heat and stored it into energon cubes, which granted them energy independence from Blackrock. Used Autobots
Quite a long time later, G.B. Blackrock, Lee Gruber, and Katrina Vesotsky met at Blackrock Industries's corporate headquarters in Washington, D.C. to discuss the formation of the Neo-Knights. The Human Factor!
