History[]
Omniverse[]
Prior to The Color of Monkey, Argistix Security had existed for weeks.[2][1]
In The Color of Monkey, Ben and Rook first became acquainted with Argistix Security when Argit and his Techadon army protected an Artificial Tiffin vendor's establishment from Liam and Suemungousaur.
Later, Ben watched the company's stilted commercial ten times, finding the prospect that Argit could be a legitimate security expert humorous. Max shared the sentiment, based on Argit's criminal history. A Techadon Robot from Argistix Security then arrived in Plumber Headquarters, to deliver a package to Blukic and Driba. Ben and Rook decided to then scout out Argistix Security for suspicious activity.
At Argit Enterprises, Ben and Rook spotted Simian, who snuck a grey cube (later revealed to contain a Tiffin) into the back of an Argistix truck. Ben and Rook confronted him, and he revealed he was hired as the head of security, which made Ben even more suspicious. An explosion caused by Rojo was then seen coming from the Black Hole, which caused Argit to panic, as one of his trucks was going through that area of Undertown.
As the truck approached the Black Hole, Ben and Rook in the Proto-TRUK created a diversion, letting Rojo's bounty get away from her. Riding her motorcycle, she easily caught up to the truck, but Rook managed to shoot her down. This caused her to ram the truck on its side and crash her bike into a building. However, Rojo was able to recover from the crash and shot a hole in the roof of the truck, only to find it empty.
Sensing something was off, Argit met with Simian in his office. Simian inquired why the truck was empty, and Argit revealed he had found the cube Simian had placed in the truck. Argit reprimands him for doing such, reminding him to stay in line. He only then entrusts him with delivering the cube, hidden in a stomach compartment of a Techadon Robot.
Simian took the Techadon Robot to an alleyway, where he met up with Rojo. Despite trying to hide, Argit could see the exchange from his office, and he called the Plumbers anonymously to report them. Later, after getting the compartment open, Rook and Ben found Rojo leading to a chase. Taking the Tenn-Speed, the two parties rode through Undertown until they reached a chasm. Rojo's motorcycle successfully flew over it and into a pipe leading to the surface, but the Tenn-Speed was not able to. Dialing in Upgrade, Ben gave the Tenn-Speed flight capabilities and further pursued her.
The chase continued into Bellwood, until Rook challenged Rojo to a game of chicken. The two bikes collided, and Ben retrieved the bounty. Rojo fired at him, and he hid behind the remains of his destroyed Tenn-Speed. Ben then gave Rojo a double of the Tiffin's cube. Immediately after, however, Rojo was surrounded by Plumber Tanks and subsequently arrested. Simian attempted to escape, but was met by Plumbers. Max revealed they had received a tip that he was the brains behind the operation. Argit took Simian aside, where the latter came to terms with having been framed for the smuggling ring. Simian threatened to tell the Plumbers the truth, but he put him to sleep with one of his quills.
Under the impression that the Plumbers had fallen for his lies, Argit accepted the real cube from Ben. However, when he delivered the Tiffin to King Jarret, he found out that Ben had actually given Rojo the real cube, and him the fake one. Inside, Jarret found Artificial Tiffin, leading to a fight between Argit's Techadon Robots and Jarret.
