Traumatized by the horrors he had witnessed, he turned away from society and lived as a homeless with his best friend, Bryce. When Avatar Prime chose him to lead Prime Force, Daniel refused unless Avatar Prime made the same offer to Bryce. Impressed with Daniel's boldness, Avatar Prime agreed. Avatar Prime pointed to Daniel’s neck and asked if he could have the object that hung there. “You want my dog tags?” Daniel asked insulted. “No”, Avatar Prime corrected, “the other thing.” “This is as precious to me as the tags are. I’m not giving you this.” “Oh, but I don’t plan on keeping it. I will give it right back.” Avatar Prime explained that the good luck charm Daniel had been carrying all these years was a piece of an alien ship. It was made from nano/nanite technology and was essentially dead, but Avatar Prime revived it and transformed it into an armoured suit. He gave it back to Daniel. “Now, your good luck charm will continue to protect you and this time, you will see it in action.” It was never revealed how and when Daniel died or whether anyone else donned the mantle of Warbot after his death, but some 380 years later, we learn that the Warbot armour was placed in the Hall of Heroes in the Citadel, home of Gaia Force. When Roguestar and Meridian decided to reunite Gaia Force, Cardigan, one of their best friends, volunteered his services as pilot. Upon seeing him, Arkahnus learned that Cardigan, who was supposed to have been a hybrid human, was in fact fully human. As a result, Arkahnus was able to read his whole life experiences, and although he found him to be a flawed man, he also found him to be a good one. Arkahnus decided to give him the Warbot armor and Cardigan became a member of the New Gaia Force. Powers Power armor: Wears an armor made from advanced nano/nanite technology.
