Drawn to Earth by a DECEPTICON homing signal after the final battle for the AllSpark, STOCKADE quickly hooked up with STARSCREAM and a few other surviving DECEPTICONS. He's a simple guy, content to follow orders from whoever's in charge, as long as those orders involve kicking AUTOBOT tailpipe. Back on CYBERTRON, he was an enforcer, threatening neutrals into staying neutral, and punishing those who seemed to have a problem with their audio receptors. With STARSCREAM building a base of power on Earth, STOCKADE has more than enough work to keep him occupied.
