History
Hulking members of the Lightning Strike Coalition jostled for sightseeing space with Minicons in the High Council Chamber during Optimus and Megatronus' hearing.

Shortly before the Great Exodus, the Lightning Strike Coalition were a brutal subgroup of Autobots under the leadership of Grimlock, who rose to become leader during the war and reluctantly followed Optimus Prime's more cautious brand of warfare... when ordered. Swoop was sent to investigate Shockwave's energon sources but he worryingly disappeared. When the other four coalition members learned that Swoop had been captured by Shockwave, they disobeyed orders and went after him themselves. Grimlock, secure in his arrogance, was glad that the fate of Cybertron rested in their hands. However, upon arriving at the Sea of Rust, they were overpowered by a swarm of Insecticons and taken to Shockwave's labs, they were reformatted into the Dinobots.
