Although blocked by the Renegades, Scooter uses a hologram of [[Zod (GoBots)|Zod]] to make the Renegades flee. Making it back to GoBotron the Guardians are attacked by the Guardian duplicates. The real Guardians are able to defeat their duplicates with the aid of the real [[Zeemon]], [[Hans-Cuff]] and Rest-Q.

=====Echoverse=====
Spoons was featured in the 2016 ''[[Ask Vector Prime]]'' story ''[[Echoes and Fragments]]'', set during the events of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The manipulations of the evil [[Gong (GoBots)|Gong]] and [[Sideways (Transformers)|Sideways]] resulted in various GoBots swapping places with characters during the events of that film. Crain Brain, Screw Head and Spoons took the place of the Insecticons in the story. The three participated on the attack on Autobot city, attempting to breech the city's defenses until Hot Rod injured Crain Brain and Spoons. When Unicron reached an agreement with Megatron, Spoons was rebuilt into [[Deadlift]], the tracker, taking the place of Scourge in the story. When Galvatron protested Galvatron consuming Cybertron's moons, Deadlift reminded his commander that they themselves belonged to Unicron. Deadlift was present when Command Center 09 was (mostly) destroyed and when Galvatron took the Matrix from Major Mo.<REF>{{cite comic|title=Ask Vector Prime|story=Echoes and Fragments|publisher=Fun Publications|date=February 10th, 2016|writer=Jim Sorenson}}</ref>

Cy-Kill and his Renegade recruits from [[Axiom Nexus]] joined Fitor, Spoons and Stretch in repelling an attack by Courageous, Leader-1, the Guardian Command Centers and the new Guardian Academy graduates [[Beamer (GoBots)|Beamer]], [[Guide Star (GoBots)|Guide Star]] and [[Sky Fly]]. During the battle Monsterous was able to best Courageous and tore though the Command Centers, but a ploy from Leader-1 tricked Cy-Kill into unleashing a massive blast which struck Monsterous, shattering the combiner into his components.
