In "Wings of Honor" Magnum ordered the crew of the Autobot ship Eight Track to recover a secret cargo from the Decepticons. When the mission was completed he appointed the Eight Track crew as the first members of the Elite Guard. [1][2]

In "The Coming Storm" The Elite Guard Alpha Team and Strike Team did battle against a horde of ferrovorous bugs in one of Cybertron's city-states. Magnum then ordered the Strike Team to escort the Alpha Team to Space Port Bravo for their next mission. The Strike Team then reported to Magnum and Sentinel Major, who introduced them to the new Elite Guard Special-Ops Team, also called the Combaticons.[3][4][5]

Magnum appeared in Flames of Yesterday.[6]

In "Battle Lines" Thunderclash's Elite Guard squad reported to Magnum after the Combaticons killed most of the Guard. They attempted to show the Council that the Elite Guard was still functional, but arrived just as Optimus Prime was appointed the new commander of the Autobots. [7] Magnum is among the Autobots present when Megatron attacks Iacon with his new weapon, Devastator.[8]
