Hako clone animated Chop Shop

During the early days of the war, Chop Shop served under Bludgeon as part of a team sent to find the lost Titan, Metroplex. On the two-hundred-and-thirty-eighth day of this grueling campaign, Chop Shop and his colleagues destroyed a Nibarian outpost because they believed it was between them and their quarry. A hunch from Thundercracker led them further to a planet inhabited by Urtuskians. As Chop Shop and the other Decepticons started obliterating the primitive outpost, believing Metroplex was underneath, their team was caught up to by a team of Autobots who had been trailing them. Chop Shop and the other the Decepticons retreated without accomplishing their goal.
