I said I wanted a fruit hat, what is this?!

The mine was discovered and occupied by the Decepticons during Megatron's three years in space. After the majority of the energon crystals had been extracted, Starscream ordered operations moved elsewhere, leaving behind a few drilling machines so he could use the mine as a personal stockpile of energon.

Years afterwards, Arcee, Bulkhead, Miko, and Jack visited the mine to investigate an energon signature though they could not find any energon. Concurrently, Shortly afterward, Starscream and Megatron arrived. Having reached his limit with his traitorous SIC, Megatron brought him to the mine to humiliate him one last time before he prepared to execute him only for both Decepticons to find Jack and Arcee. This sparked a brief firefight which caused the mine to collapse.

Though Starscream had managed to escape the mine, he convinced himself to return and free Megatron, reasoning that the act of loyalty would save his life. Instead of his master however, Starscream found Miko and Bulkhead, the latter holding up a caved in ceiling. While Starscream pondered executing Bulkhead as a gift for Megatron, the arrival of Arcee forced Starscream to carry Bulkhead's burden. After the Autobots and their allies had evacuated the mine, Megatron discovered Starscream and freed him. Rock Bottom
