During the war for Cybertron, Hound was dispatched to scout out the Sea of Rust as a possible safe zone for the Autobots to position themselves in. The only obstacle in their way was the toxic, armor-stripping climate that could cause critical damage if exposed to the atmosphere for prolonged periods of time; This required the Autobots to find a solution that would shield them from the region's cruel environment. Having found a solution, the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce established an underground base on the outer edge of the Sea of Rust that shielded them from the toxic atmosphere.
