In the ten years that followed the Transformers' departure from Earth, Alexis became an activist, traveling worldwide with other like-minded individuals to (violently) protest the misuse of Earth's natural resources.
One such trip found her in Australia, protesting Alterenergy's 01 Source research. Her group's protest was interrupted when the Transformers returned to Earth in the form of the Terrorcons and attacked the Alterenergy excavation site. Alexis was horrified that they were getting dragged into the Transformer war again but ended up rushing straight into it to save a young teenager named Kicker from Battle Ravage by shooting the beast in the face with a flare gun. What Lies Beneath The two tried to escape on a motorcycle but ended up crashing it and getting captured by Battle Ravage, who brought them to Scorponok. What Lies Beneath, Part Two The Terrorcon leader used Alexis as a hostage, threatening to kill her if Kicker wouldn't help him find 01 Source. Fortunately, Rad, who now worked for Alterenergy, came to her aid... or at least it would've been her aid if Battle Ravage hadn't been guarding her. They escaped thanks to Carlos, who aided them from space by remotely detonating the collected 01 Source, knocking the Terrorcon out. What Lies Beneath, Part Three After Rad explained to Alexis that 01 Source was Energon—Transformer fuel—and that Kicker could sense it, the two were suddenly reunited with Optimus Prime, who had arrived to fight the Terrorcons. The Autobots subsequently drove the Terrorcons away and rescued Kicker, who was surprised that Rad and Alexis knew each other. What Lies Beneath, Part Four
As the Autobots officially revealed themselves to the human population, many began to fear an invasion and protested against them. Alexis was in Los Angeles at the time and reflected alongside Rad on how she would probably be opposing as well if she didn't know any better. Rad wasn't happy to hear this, nor was he happy about her way of life, as her frequent trips around the globe meant she never stuck around. Alexis explained that she had merely grown up and didn't see things in black and white anymore, but the disgruntled Rad just said his goodbyes and left. However, he came back and apologized as Alexis prepared to go in a taxi, which made her feel better. Then Terrorcon Insecticons attacked Los Angeles and blew up the cab. Multiplicity Fortunately, she had gotten out in time and was safe and sound and returned to Rad. As he thought Alexis had died in the explosion, Rad had realized how much she truly meant to him and embraced her and told her never to leave him again. They were both reasonably embarrassed afterward. Multiplicity, Pt. 2 Using Rad's truck, they raced away from the Insecticons and to Alterenergy's west coast headquarters. Multiplicity, Pt. 3 Upon arrival, Alexis spent some time with Carlos, who explained how Rad planned to use the Energon Volant Accumulator to aid the Autobots in the fight against the Terrorcons. Multiplicity, Pt. 4
