Cannonball has been a name feared for millennia. Many an Autobot and Decepticon alike have swapped tales of the dread pirate Cannonball, speaking his name in hushed whispers in fear of summoning him. Captains will speak of ships baring his flag that strike before vanishing into the cosmos once more, never to be seen again.

Indeed, Cannonball has been a pirate that has roamed the stars for thousands of years, yet what many do not know is that the Cannonball they meet today is not the same one they heard of yesterday, nor will it be the same one tomorrow. The original Cannonball died thousands of years ago, his name having been passed on from bot to bot in the millennia since. Leader of the Maraudicons, captain of the Star Seekers, ruler of the Pirate Oasis — regardless of occupation, Cannonball remains a feared name and those who carry it never fail to live up to their predecessors' reputation.

Headshot of Kalis was a Decepticon soldier who served under Heretech. During the Second Great War, Headshot was stationed on the planet Tyros VII when it was attacked by the space monster Dekkron. Several Decepticons were slaughtered by Dekkron when he destroyed Tyros and Headshot was one of the few survivors left floating in space. He was later retrieved by the Star Seekers who, despite Thundertron's hatred for Cybertronians, allowed him into their ranks after Headshot promised to give them intelligence on the Decepticons.

In Cycle 9701, the Star Seekers came to the planet Earth in the hopes of recruiting the Decepticon Scorponok. Unbeknownst to Thundertron, Headshot had warned Scorponok ahead of time of their impending arrival and the Decepticon was prepared for the inevitable confrontation with the Star Seeker captain, easily slaughtering him. Afterwards, Headshot took control of the Tidal Wave and named himself Cannonball the Fifth, reviving the name after nearly a thousand years.
