-Evangeline to Vincent

Vincent first appears in Evangeline's economics class, when he is assigned as her partner on a project. When Evangeline asks if he's going to help at all with the project, he jokingly says no. She storms off and he trails after her, promising to help. In the parking lot of the school, he admires a Chevrolette Corvette Stingray (getting handprints all over it in the process). He then follows Evangeline into her shortcut, complaining about the foxtails. When Starscream attacks, he is concerned for Evangeline's safety, but she pushes him away. After Starscream's retreat, he keeps repeating "I'm on drugs, I'm on drugs...", and Crashcomet has to throw him into Sideswipe's vehicle mode. He then faints and drools on Evangeline's lap.

Vincent constantly annoys Ratchet, who tells him to go play in traffic. He develops a close friendship with Sideswipe. When Elita-One is having the sparkling, Vincent supplies Ratchet with an empty Gatorade bottle to collect the sparkling chamber gel. He also gets Crashcomet to give them the details of what happened during the energon scouting mission that she, Sideswipe and Modem were sent on.

In coming chapters, more of Vincent's life at home will be revealed, and his relationships with other characters, primarily Evangeline, will be broadened and developed.
