At the start of World War II, Franklin Rock enlisted in the United States Armed Forces, rising to the rank of Sergeant and being tasked with leading Easy Company. In 1943, Rock and the company were investigating in a forest, being accompanied by the newly manufactured G.I. Robot, whom they nicknamed "Tin Man". As they walked, Rock tasked G.I. to follow his lead during their expedition, mentioning that German forces would not be far away, however upon hearing a noise, Rock asked Little Sure Shot if he saw anything, then alerted the team that the Nazi Party was hiding in the bushes who began firing at them, so Rock called for a retreat.

Rock began shooting at the Nazis behind the trees until he took cover to reload his gun, but then spotted G.I. extending his legs and drawing guns from his arms, he told the sergeant to get on the ground, and Rock ordered the team to crouch, and G.I. began firing, slaughtering the Nazis. After the battle, Rock expressed his amazement at G.I. Robot and the group gathered to take celebratory photos with the robot, sharing a moment of happiness. Rock and Easy Company then headed to a bar to celebrate their triumph, praising G.I. for his great skills, naming him a brother to all the Company's soldiers. In the following battles, Rock and Company formed a friendly bond with G.I. before the culmination of the war, going their separate ways.[1]
