## Biography

### The Great War/ War for Cybertron

Several years prior to the War for Cybertron, Kick-Off was stationed at Garrus-9 on Elba when the Reapercons attacked. He was ordered by Roller to kill Deathsaurus, and hesitated to leave. He approached Deathsaurus in his cell, before being knocked out by Stalker. He then awoke to a cell with his fellow Autobot Guards and was informed of the Decepticons' "Method" to execute them. Kick-Off had been chosen by Gigatron to fight to the death with Turbofire. Intially refusing to do so, Kick-Off was forced by Gigatron to fight Turbofire. Kick-Off then killed Turbofire in combat, before being sent back to his cell. He was eventually chosen again to fight in the pit, and had fought 11 more of his friends, before fighting the Decepticon Borehole. Kick-Off killed Borehole, before attempting to attack Gigatron, only to be shot by Stalker and left to die.

He was eventually recovered after The Wreckers saved him from Garrus-9 and was taken to a triage back on Cybertron.

He eventually joined his conjunx endura Cyberfire, and his teammate Sprocket, on a mission to the City of Yuss, on Cybertron. He and Cyberfire had advanced on Yuss, only to be captured by their target, Sideways. Kick-Off was then forced to watch as Sideways had Cyberfire executed, via a Cosmic Rust Infection. Kick-Off was then freed by Sideways with Cyberfire's remains, and he yelled in rage. *Shattered Glass Part 2*

Yoketron asked Kick-Off for assistance in training Scattershot. He suffered an embarrassing defeat by the latter. Yoketron thanked Kick-Off, before Kick-Off left the Dojo. *The Clone: Rise of the Omnibots Part 2*

 A Year later, Kick-Off later joined his fellow Autobots in boarding The Ark. The Ark then blasted off to the stars, where it made its way to Earth. The Ark crashed in Mount St. Helens, and like everyone else, Kick-Off was deactivated. *Fall of Cybertron Part 3*

### 1984, Earth

He awakened on Earth alongside the other Autobots on September 17, 1984. *More Than Meets The Eye*

### 2025, Earth/ Earthrise

41 years later on January 3, 2025, Kick-Off was ordered by Optimus Prime to scout the Earth for the AllSpark with Gears.

He travelled to the Rockies, and began climbing as he received a transmission from Optimus Prime, warning him that the Decepticons had returned.

He then returned to Echo Base, where he brought Buster and Samuel Witwicky back, after the two were arrested by the Military surrounding Echo Base. *The Arrival*

On March 1, Kick-Off joined Kup and Quickshadow on a mission to California to hunt down a Decepticon. After Quickshadow spotted the Decepticon, Kick-Off gave chase and ignored Kup's and Raila de Gosgo's orders. He then apprehended the Decepticon Treadshot and brawled with him. He then subdued him and placed him in stasis cuffs. *Shattered Glass Part 1*

The Next Day on March 2 in Washington, DC, Kick-Off attempted to interrogate Treadshot, only to be ordered by Kup to return to Fort Max.

In Fort Max, he had joined "Optimus Prime", Kup, Quickshadow, and Treadshot to the Gimlin Facility in Hawaii.

In the Gimlin Facility, Kick-Off had left to a training room. He was eventually joined by Elizabeth Oxton and Grace Allen, and told them why he hates Decepticons. After telling them, he informed them that the Autobots had been compromised, and that he had to 'take care' of a traitor. Kick-Off then had Fallback open a portal back to Fort Max.

In Fort Max, Kick-Off approached Optronix Prime and informed him that he knows the truth of him. He prepared to arrest Optronix, only to be gunned down and killed by the alternate dimension Prime. *Shattered Glass Part 2*
