When civil war broke out on the planet Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons, Boss joined the Autobot cause.

When Decepticon leader Megatron and Autobot leader Optimus Prime disappeared in an accident with a space bridge, the Autobot and Decepticon forces splintered into smaller factions (Transformers: War Within - The Dark Ages #1).

Six million years ago, Ultra Magnus united the Autobot factions and lead them to victory over Decepticon and Ultracon factions, although Starscream's Predacons continued to fight. Megatron returned to Cybertron in command of the clone forces of the Aerospace Extermination Squadron and took over Cybertron (Transformers: War Within - The Age of Wrath #1).

Boss was among the small group of Autobots who escaped capture and fought to defeat Megatron. He was assigned with Flash, Hurricane and Scorch to work as the personal guards for the Autobot scientist Perceptor (Transformers: War Within - The Age of Wrath #2).
