Doubledealer is unique among Transformers as he holds a place in the Autobot and Decepticon armies. The truth, however, is that this ruthless mechanoid is a mercenary loyal only to whomever is paying him, and then only if no better offer catches his eye. At times, even his own partners are unaware of all of Doubledealer's duplicitous dealings. His skills and power make him a valuable asset to both sides, but both really only trust him as far as they could throw a Guardian robot.
Doubledealer is also almost unique among Powermasters in possessing two binary bonded partners, Knok and Skar. In some universes, he is affiliated with the Mercenaries rather than the Autobots or Decepticons, making his unreliable nature front and center.
Doubledealer carefully chose his partners to best represent him to each faction. Neither Knok nor Skar knows of the other's existence, nor of their master's double life. His two partners are loyal to the Autobots and Decepticons respectively.
Unbeknownst to the young Autobot, however, Dealer was the true reason for the loss of Hot Rod's team. Dealer was an undercover agent working for the Decepticon mercenary Banzaitron and in that capacity had sabotaged Hot Rod's equipment and staged the ambush. With the Magnificence stored in a location known only by Hot Rod, he befriended the Autobot with designs to learn its hiding place. Banzaitron, learning of his hire's double cross, renamed him Doubledealer. Spotlight: Hot Rod
"Doubledealer" attempted to persuade Hot Rod into bribing or coercing others into getting the two-faced double agent reassigned to Earth, but Hot Rod responded noncommittally. Devastation #2 The traitor maintained contact with Banzaitron, selling him bits of information such as the existence of Transformer combiner warriors discovered by the Autobots, which the Decepticon used to track them to the penitentiary on Garrus-9, staging a full-scale assault to acquire this revolutionary technology.

When the Autobots were faced with the growing threat of Nemesis Prime and his expansion project, Dealer saw opportunity in the chaos. Using their lack of knowledge about the current situation as an excuse, Dealer contacted Optimus Prime and suggested that the Magnificence could be the solution to their problems. Spotlight: Hardhead Agreeing with Dealer's suggestion, Prime sent him to Earth to make contact with Hot Rod and retrieve the Magnificence from its secret location. The two "old friends" returned to Ki-Aleta, as apparently Hot Rod had never removed the device from the very planet on which they acquired it. Seeing the Omega Bunker and the site of his greatest failure, however, made Hot Rod start ruminating about how everything went so wrong so fast on that fateful mission. Dealer did his best to console Hot Rod while still pushing him towards revealing the Magnificence's location. However, he also started to waver under the stress of the memories of belonging to a group who thought of him as a friend - and whom he betrayed. They eventually made it to the rocky mountain peak where the device was hidden, beneath a constant storm of ionic energy to mask its presence. As Hot Rod pulled the Magnificence from its hiding place at the summit, Doubledealer was prepared to shoot his former commander in the back and claim his prize. Unfortunately for Dealer, Hot Rod had finally pieced together enough of the evidence to suspect Dealer of foul play. Once the Magnificence confirmed his suspicions, he spun and shot down the treacherous Autobot first, while Dealer hesitated to shoot his once friend in the back. Doubledealer's chest exploded under fire, and he fell the entire height of the mountain, only to smash into pieces at the base. Spotlight: Doubledealer

Earthrise episode 2 As he and his team infiltrated the Ark, Doubledealer made his way to the bridge and spotted the inert form of Optimus Prime. Earthrise episode 1 Reactivating and commandeering the ship, Doubledealer forced Bumblebee to stand down upon the Autobots' reactivation.
After leaving Chaar aboard the Fool's Fortune, Doubledealer and his crew subtly followed the Autobot ship at a distance so the Nemesis could travel to the Ark. Earthrise episode 2 During the journey, Doubledealer was captured and mentally controlled by Deseeus, causing three of his crew members to leave.
The Quintesson-controlled Doubledealer pursued the Autobots with the Fool's Fortune through the Dead Universe before arriving above Earth, where he faced off both the Ark and the Nemesis. Through ordered by Starscream to destroy the Autobots per his agreement with Megatron, the Fool's Fortune simply fired upon the Ark. After being questioned by Bumblebee as to who was paying him, Deseeus revealed himself as the one pulling the strings before tossing an unconscious Doubledealer aside. Doubledealer was presumably killed when the Fool's Fortune warp drive exploded during the dogfight. Earthrise episode 6

Her plan is found out, however, and she is shamed. I think she knew exactly what she was doing so in a sense she was a "double dealer."
