## Biography

In the wake of Shockwave's disappearance, Megatron ordered his research facility sealed. He assigned Bludgeon to conduct a full investigation into all of Shockwave's current and archive projects to determine exactly what Shockwave was working on.

Bludgeon led a cult-like group that worshipped Thunderwing and sought to resurrect him.

Having found the inert Thunderwing under Thunderhead Pass, Bludgeon determined that the entity's neuroscape was completely void and had no sentience left within it. Bludgeon intended to use an axis cradle to imprint his own will on Thunderwing and nudge it with navigational prompts to targets of his choosing. But devastating other worlds, Bludgeon hoped to appease the spirit of Cybertron so that it would return to its former glory.

Bludgeon's forces captured a group of Autobots, including Jetfire, Scattershot, Strafe, and Lightspeed. He intended to use them as raw materials for the polydermal grafting process, replicating Thunderwing's initial experiments that ended up driving him insane. Bludgeon explained his aims to a captive Jetfire, blaming the scientist for having been one of the few warned of the impending doom by Thunderwing hundreds of stellar-cycles previously. At Bludgeon's order, Iguanus oversaw the refueling of Thunderwing with Ultra-Energon, awakening the entity and sending it towards the planet Nebulos.

With Thunderwing razing Nebulos, Bludgeon turned his attention to his replication of the mad Decepticon's work on polydermal grafting to create an exo-shell. During an Autobot attack on his base, Bludgeon activate his suit but the exo-shell had not been neuro-aligned, causing a psychic backlash that affect Bludgeon's mind. He attacked and mortally wounded Iguanus before trying to pull the exo-shell off his body. Unsuccessful, Bludgeon became locked in a prison of his own making.
