In the Challenge of the GoBots episode "Guardian Academy" Traitor was one of three Renegades sent to masquerade as Guardian cadets in order to kidnap Zeemon at their graduation ceremony. Only Tri-Trak suspected their true nature, but Traitor disabled the trainee and the three strung him up in the target range while they attended the graduation. They managed to capture Zeemon before Tri-Trak could warn the Guardians, but were stopped when he and his team-mates gave chase and disabled their Thruster. Traitor was then captured.

Traitor appeared in the Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric story "The Hawks of Space", where he discovered the development of the Space Hawk ships by the Guardians and UNECOM.[2]

Traitor 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 and Sideways resulted in various GoBots swapping places with characters during the events of that film.[3]
