After Princess Leia met Optimus Prime, they both went inside the capitol building of Iacon. Kikks and the rest of the Rebels took some time to get to know their new comrades.

"So, let me get this straight. You are a group of freedom fighters called the Galactic Rebel Alliance, trying to stop a tyrannical faction called the Empire from taking over the galaxy." Bulkhead said

"Yep." Gregor said

"Pretty much." Kikks said

"Looks like we have something in common." Wheeljack said

"What's your name?" Bulkhead asked

"Kikks."

Before Bulkhead could speak Darman pushed passed a group of Rebels.

"You may have conned your way out of trouble with Captain Solo, but not with me. I'll be watching you Kikks." Darman said

"Cry me a river Darman. Just because you wear a Special Forces patch doesn't mean you can bully people." Kikks said

Darman turns and walks off angrily.

"I take it there is bad blood between you and Darman?" Bulkhead asked

"Yeah, for whatever reason he hates my brother's and I ever since we arrived in the Rebellion." Kikks said

"Don't worry, if he ever messes with you guys again, we got your back." Bulkhead said pointing to himself and the Wreckers

An alarm begins to blare throughout Iacon. Dozens of Autobot and Rebels soldiers rush to the city wall. Kikks and Twilight Company take up defensive positions. Optimus walks up beside Kikks and his squad.

"This isn't good." Optimus said

"What?" Kikks asked

"Megatron is leading a final assault on Iacon. This is his push to wipe us out." Optimus said

On the other side of the battlefield Megatron stands in front of the wall.

"Decepticons, today we put an end to the Autobots. Today we claim what is rightfully ours!" Megatron yells

The Decepticon troops scream their battle cry.

"Decepticons tanks, bring down that wall." Megatron yells

The tanks roll forward and begin to shell the wall.

Optimus turns and addresses the troops.

"Autobots, Rebels. I know currently our situation is dire. Megatron and his Decepticons seek to take the last beacon of hope on Cybertron. I ask all of you to set aside any differences you may have and band together! Show Megatron we will protect our world and others from his tyranny." Optimus says

"Come together!" Kikks yells

"Yes, everyone come together right now!" Optimus yells

The soldiers cheer just as the wall bursts open.

"Open fire!" Ultra Magnus yells

Autobots and Rebels open fire at the Decepticon soldiers cutting them down one by one. Decepticon tanks roll in and the Autobots and Rebels are forced to fallback. They fallback just beyond the F.O.B.

"I don't know how much more we can take." Logan said

"Buck, Roach you're with me." Kikks said

The Rebel and Autobot soldiers dig in deep and wait for the Decepticons to turn the corner. Kikks and his team hide in a building with a busted wall. The marching of Decepticon troops rumble the ground. A Decepticon looks through a wall and Kikks fires his rifle. The other Autobots and Rebels break from cover and the fighting continues. Kikks and his team run out of the building toward the F.O.B. Bulkhead picks up a Decepticon and slams him into the ground. Jetfire strafes the area killing many of the Decepticon soldiers. Kikks and his squad make it back to the F.O.B where Darman and his team are guarding the princess.
