After Soundwave discovered the location of AllSpark shard needed to resurrect Megatron, he deployed Ravage to the island of Diego Garcia where the human-Autobot alliance NEST was based. Ravage infiltrated the base's defenses and released the microcons into the ventilation system of the chamber where the AllSpark fragment was held. The ball bearings coalesced into Reedman and proceed to steal the fragment, fight off security and escape with Ravage. Revenge of the Fallen
