Doctor John Alcazar worked closely with young computer whiz Chip Chase to develop a process in which anti-matter could be created in macroscopic quantities and controlled conditions. The Decepticons wanted the formula for anti-matter because it unleashed incredible amounts of energy when annihilating equal amounts of matter. Megatron and his warriors raided the laboratory, but Alcazar used Betsy Brainiac to upload the formula over a modem connection to Chip Chase's home computer. The good doctor bravely stood up to Megatron when he demanded the formula, stating that he had destroyed it. Realizing that the human had transferred the formula to an outside source, Megatron let Alcazar go.
