✰Swervester |IDW✰

Originally an experimental vessel built on a pre-war Cybertron, the Lost Light is now the starship utilized by Rodimus and about 230 other assorted Transformers on a quest to find the mythical Knights of Cybertron. Though apparently unremarkable by Transformer standards, the ship is quite large—described by Ultra Magnus as 15 miles in length, and 10 miles wide, and large enough for an entire extra chamber to be attached to it in secret without anybody onboard noticing. It contains numerous habitation suites for its crew, various offices and workshops for those who require them, a bar redubbed "Swerve's" after the ship's launch, and a large oil reservoir where introspective bots sometimes go to ponder. The ship's hangars carry at least half a dozen shuttlecraft, including the Leading Light, O Fortuna, and the Rodpod. Rodimus upgraded the Lost Light's armament with a batch of proton missile launchers after a visit to Hedonia. The Lost Light is a "hop ship" which utilizes insanely advanced quantum engines to travel almost instantaneously across vast distances, though those distances can be limited by the amount of power available to the ship. (You don't want to be standing next to these engines when they activate, as they break the laws of physics in ways that can be very unhealthy.) On top, the ship carries a group of "fuel quills", essential to its operation. Deep within its bowels are the ship's fuel furnaces, powered or at least partly dependent upon nucleon rods, and manned by the Pyrobots. The ship was known by its previous owners as the Unitrex-1. In another universe, the ship was painted purple and rechristened Last Light. The Unitrex-1 was constructed in the city of Unitrex five million years ago, the first ship outfitted with new experimental generator on board. A crew had been selected for the vessel, including the Duobots, but before it could launch, it was infiltrated by two very unexpected visitors: a time-travelling Rodimus and Cyclonus, who had come from five million years in the future and wound up stranded when their time machine ran out of power. Seeking to recharge the device, Rodimus used Perceptor's knowledge of future quantum science to upgrade the Unitrex-1's generator so that it could perform the task, in the process retroactively creating the very first quantum generator. As he worked, Cyclonus fought off the ship's sole guard, blasting him with a Sparkeater Gun and locking him in one of the ship's chambers. Once the time case was fully charged with quantum energy, a reaction between the case and generator caused the unmanned U1 to quantum jump away through time and space, its fate unknown to anyone. Predestination: An Expert's Guide No Guns, No Swords, No BriefcasesThe Unitrex-1 was eventually discovered drifting near Vela Pulsar by a group of Mortilus-worshipping NAILs who had left Cybertron during the war. Twenty Plus One Finding the guard, who had mutated into a ravenous Sparkeater, they kept it alive and docile using turbofox meals. The Chaos of Warm Things The NAILs subsequently returned to Cybertron following the end of the war, where the present-day incarnation of Rodimus was in search of a ship he could use in his quest to find the Knights of Cybertron, having been denied use of Omega Supreme. Drift crossed paths with the U1's owners during the Festival of Lost Light, and purchased the vessel from them for one billion Shanix, renaming it the Lost Light after the festival, Twenty Plus One and gifting it to Rodimus. ...And the Damage Done Rodimus successfully convinced around 200 Transformers to join him on his quest, which involved following a map that had been discovered within the Matrix of Leadership. Ultra Magnus was appointed second-in-command, with Drift as third; Ratchet joined as chief medical officer, Perceptor and Brainstorm as science officers, and Red Alert as security director, vetting the crewmembers. Rodimus, Drift, and Brainstorm conspired with Prowl to smuggle the captive Decepticon Overlord aboard the ship for study and interrogation, Remembrance Day but this was not the only "addition" Prowl ensured to the ship: he ordered his agent Ore to plant a tracker on the vessel's quantum engine, but unfortunately for everyone aboard, Ore tried to do so just as the ship was taking off. The quantum generator activated and Ore became "mashed into it," causing an explosion that preemptively warped the ship across the universe. How to Say Goodbye and Mean It Hangers On The accident appeared to teleport the Lost Light to a random point in space, but in truth, the ship's fate was far more complicated. The malfunction of the quantum engines had narrowed its choice of destination not to a single point in space, but to two points: the location to which the Lost Light had intended to warp, and a random one. The ship responded to this impossibility by teleporting to both points—creating two identical duplicates of itself, and everyone and everything on board. The Road Not Taken On-course Lost Light The Lost Light that arrived at its intended destination was temporarily crippled by the explosion of one of its rear thrusters. In addition to causing the loss of Rung, this blast freed the Sparkeater trapped in the bowels of the ship; Rodimus used the "brightest spark" aboard—Animus—as bait, luring the beast to its death by mashing it into one of the quantum engines. Unfortunately, Rodimus miscalculated and met the same fate. His dead body was interred in a coffin made from parts of the ship's engine case, and Ultra Magnus succeeded him as captain. Now no longer feeling beholden to Rodimus, Drift confessed to Magnus about Overlord's presence on the ship. Unfortunately, Magnus was not the only person to whom this information was revealed: unbeknownst to the crew, Brainstorm was a Decepticon sleeper agent, who informed the Decepticon Justice Division that Overlord was aboard the Lost Light and invited them to come and get rid of him. The DJD caught up to the Lost Light near Ofsted XVII, and though they had initially promised to leave everyone else on the ship alive to maintain Brainstorm's cover, the discovery that Drift—a former Decepticon and high-ranking target of theirs—was aboard set off their murderous instincts, and they began slaughtering their way through the crew. They murdered the whole crew and Overlord, with only Rewind escaping their rampage, and the ship was left to float derelict in space. The Road Not Taken The Permanent RevolutionSeventeen months later, a massive battle occurred around the derelict Lost Light between the Black Block Consortia and the Galactic Council over the quantum engines. The Lost Light was ripped to pieces by the fighting, its quantum foam left drifting through space among its shattered chunks, while the coffin containing Rodimus's body broke free and drifted off into space. The Permanent Revolution Births, Deaths, and InterventionsThe version of the Lost Light sent off-course by the explosion at launch appeared over an unknown planet. The explosion of the rear thruster caused a tear in the hull through which forty Autobots were blown, so Rodimus ordered the Lost Light to be set down on the planet's surface so the lost Autobots could be recovered. How to Say Goodbye and Mean It While repairs and rescues were being carried out, the ship's crew were joined by the amnesiac Skids. Hangers OnNo sooner was the Lost Light airborne again than it had to contend with the threat of the Sparkeater, released from the bowels of the ship by the explosion at launch. Rodimus used the "brightest spark" aboard—Rung—as bait, luring the beast to its death by mashing into one of the quantum engines. The Chaos of Warm Things During the chaos, Skids helped Swerve find the ship's bar, which Swerve decided to take ownership of. The soon-to-be-christened "Swerve's" became the go-to destination for crewmembers looking to drink and relax. Life After the Big Bang The crew of the Lost Light continued to grow with the arrival of staff and patients from the Autobot medical facility Delphi, including Fortress Maximus, and First Aid, who was tapped to become the next chief medical officer following Ratchet's supposedly-impending retirement. How Ratchet Got His Hands Back Soon after their arrival, the ship was damaged when it was unexpectedly struck by a piece of space debris that turned out to be the severed thumb of the Titan Metroplex. The thumb was brought aboard, but this only drew the attention of Lockdown's Titan Hunters, who boarded the ship while the entire crew was accidentally frozen in place by one of Brainstorm's inventions. Only quick thinking by Trailbreaker (still active due to his forcefield's protection) kept the Decepticons from making off with the Metroplex fragment. The Reluctant Specialist The Lost Light finally reached its first major destination, the planet of Theophany, where the crew expected to find the Circle of Light. Instead, however, all that remained was the razed and deserted ruins of the Circle's Crystal City. The Galactic Council's enforcement ship, The Benign Intervention, also appeared on the scene, giving the Autobots one hour to explore the planet's surface. Rodimus's exploration team discovered a slumbering Titan beneath Crystal City... but Chromedome's attempts to hack into the behemoth's mind caused it to reactivate and fire a blast of energy into space, damaging the Benign Intervention and incurring the full wrath of its troops. The Lost Light was contained in an incineration shell and was seconds away from total annihilation when Rodimus's team freed the Titan, who in turn teleported the Lost Light and her crew away from Theophany. Theorizing that the Decepticons were behind the destruction of Crystal City, Rodimus decided to take the Lost Light near the Argon Nebulae, where Decepticon activity had been reported. You, Me, and Other RevelationsThe Decepticon group that the crew engaged turned out not to be linked to the disappearance of the Circle of Light. Several members of the crew were injured fighting the group—including Rewind, whose misfortune was leveraged by Drift to convince Chromedome to help with the Overlord project. Before & After The days that followed were relatively peaceful, and included a trip to Hedonia for some shore leave Cybertronian Homesick Blues and a visit from the legendary Autobot Thunderclash, who was also looking for the Knights of Cybertron, Little Victories but it was not to last. During one of Chromedome's mnemosurgical incursions into Overlord's mind, the Decepticon escaped his cell Remembrance Day and went on a killing spree through the ship that left multiple dead and Ultra Magnus critically injured. Rewind sacrificed himself to ensure that Overlord was safely jettisoned into space. Under Cold Blue Stars Drift volunteered to take the fall for Rodimus, allowing himself to be banished for bringing Overlord on board. The Gloaming

Gregarious would be a good word to describe Swerve. So would outgoing, enthusiastic, upbeat, joyfully irreverent, flippant, sarcastic, wise ass, troll, or "total pain in the aft", depending on which side of his weapons-grade mouth you happen to fall on and how long you've been listening to him use it. Swerve has a sense of fun and even whimsy that stands out from your run of the mill Autobots fairly dramatically, but this constant running commentary stems at least partially from Swerve's low self-esteem, a coping mechanism that helps to cover up some of his own insecurities. The little fellow may get on their nerves... he'll probably get on their nerves... but it'll always be with a smile, a laugh, and an epic level quip, making him a good bartender. He is, however, also a menace to everyone within range of a gun in his hand - including himself - given his legendarily bad aim, as well as to anyone driving nearby because he's so easily distracted by just about anything that catches his attention. Despite this, he's quite intelligent and skilled as a metallurgist, analysing the properties of a material with unique sensors in his hands. When he gets caught up in a problem, he becomes almost laser-like in focus and intensity, going on quest after quest, both major and minor. Unfortunately, this generally leaves him just as distracted from any other tasks at hand and just as accident-prone as ever. He's almost always in need of some repairs, major or minor, because of it. Now if only Prime could get him to not get easily distracted when receiving his orders too... “ People don't like me—they just laugh at my jokes. There's a difference. ” —Swerve, "Cybertronian Homesick Blues"

Swerve of Helex[1] was forged, This Calamitous Life and a practicing "Adaptican" who worshipped Adaptus of the Guiding Hand. Twenty Plus One While Swerve was a trained metallurgist, his real dream was to open his own bar; in the years before the Great War, he received an autograph from his favorite athlete Blurr, who mentioned that he'd wanted to run a bar as well after retiring from racing. Swerve thought Blurr might want to run it with him, but Blurr escaped by giving Swerve a fake phone number. Cybertronian Homesick Blues Forever after, Swerve insisted that he and Blurr had a plan to run a bar after the war. The Chaos of Warm Things When war broke out, Swerve joined the Autobots. At the academy, he received the unflattering nickname "Shut the Hell Up."[2] During one early battle, Swerve was in Iacon, and helped guard the civilian population. Primacy #4 Throughout the war, Swerve had multiple adventures, which he called "quests"—these included a "Titan Quest", a "Matrix Quest", a "Prime Quest", and a legendarily awful "Thumb Quest". Cybertronian Homesick Blues Swerve's last quest before the end of the war would be the "Moon Quest", in which he and Hot Rod unsuccessfully searched for Luna One. Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations Five hundred years ago, the Decepticon scientist Thunderwing contacted multiple scientists from both factions to discuss Cybertron's dwindling energy reserves. Swerve, like the rest, disregarded his warnings. Stormbringer #1 After the fall of Cybertron, Swerve was stationed at the Kimia Facility. He was a fan of the Wreckers: Declassified datalogs, although he thought Fisitron was a bit of a hagiographer Bullets, and was unaware that "Fisitron" was really a pseudonym for his colleague Ironfist. The One Where They Go to Earth While away from Kimia, Swerve encountered the Decepticon Justice Division members Tarn and Vos force-feeding a Genericon his own innards. The Not Knowing While trying to get away, Vos shot him in the shoulder; unbeknownst to Swerve, "Vos" was in reality the undercover Autobot Dominus Ambus, who communicated with his handlers by firing data slugs in the right eye of the Autobot insignia. The One Where They Go to Earth The experience left him speechless for six months. Life After the Big Bang Unaware that he'd been shot with a solid bullet, Swerve didn't get his injury properly treated, and the hastily patched wound bothered him for centuries. The One Where They Go to Earth

Swerve was present when Cyclonus and the Sweeps invaded Kimia. Lamentations He survived the massacre by piling into an escape pod with Chromedome and Brainstorm. When Arcee came to rescue them, everyone reminded the motor-mouthed Swerve not to say something tactless that might set her off. Kings Swerve listened with the others to Hardhead and Arcee's explanation of the situation with Galvatron, the Heart of Darkness and D-Void, although his immediate understanding of the complex scenario clashed with his naïve optimism at the prospect of saving the universe. However, once they arrived in Cybertron's atmosphere, Arcee ordered the shuttle to fly directly at the planet's surface and Swerve was among the first to bail. Genesis Following the end of the war and the revitalization of Cybertron, Swerve chose to accompany Rodimus on his search for the Knights of Cybertron—an adventure he immediately dubbed the "Knight Quest". Red Alert reluctantly allowed Swerve to board the Lost Light if he'd stop talking. How to Say Goodbye and Mean It He was in the medibay when Tailgate recovered consciousness, and got to be the one who broke the news that Tailgate had been trapped underground for six million years and missed the entire war. He and Tailgate went out for some fresh air and, along with Chromedome and Rewind, encountered Skids and watched him fight the Legislators. Skids wasn't keen on Swerve's suggestion they should team up. Hangers On

During the incident with the Sparkeater, Swerve and Skids stumbled on an abandoned canteen, which reminded Swerve of his earlier plans to run a bar. The Chaos of Warm Things To celebrate the Sparkeater's demise, Swerve refurbished the facility and dubbed it "Swerve's"—although he hid its existence from the uptight Ultra Magnus. As a subscriber to Fisitron's Wreckers: Declassified, he received a strange new datalog and discussed it with Ratchet, prompting the latter's trip to Delphi. Life After the Big Bang Shortly after that, Swerve saw Ambulon talking with First Aid, and curious about his alternate mode, threw a ball at his neural cluster and triggered an involuntary transformation. Ever the understanding sort, Swerve proceeded to make bad puns about his leg mode. No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases Swerve attended a celebration following the Lost Light's collision with a discarded thumb from Metroplex and its subsequent repair. There, he cheered when Highbrow, Chromedome, and Brainstorm were awarded a Rodimus Star for their part in saving the ship. He was at some point put on "sponsored silence," in return for a coveted Rodimus Star of his own if he followed through with it. Swerve found that remaining silent was exceedingly difficult for him, and so contacted Trailcutter, asking him to project a forcefield into his mouth to seal off his vocal synthesizer. Trailcutter refused. Swerve was then frozen in place, along with nearly everyone else aboard the Lost Light, when one of Brainstorm's experimental weapons accidentally went off. When he eventually recovered, he was awarded a Rodimus Star after all, though it was "for exceptional endurance in the face of adversity." The Reluctant Specialist Swerve accompanied Hoist and Perceptor on a mission to scrounge energon from a deserted Decepticon outpost but their pilot, Sunstreaker, was distracted by his own reflection in the radar screen and crashed their shuttle into a planet. With the ship upside down and Perceptor half-melted into the ceiling Swerve kept up his usual banter as they found themselves under attack by Tarn, which happened to be one of his worst fears. With the shuttle cloaked, Swerve passed the time by teasing Sunstreaker and talking about his other worst fears—Megatron, Overlord, Sixshot, Shockwave, and some nightmare combination of all four. However, it was soon revealed that this bluster was merely an attempt to disguise the fact that his spark casing had cracked during the crash; without immediate medical attention, he would die. Hoist and Sunstreaker left him to take the fight to Tarn but the D.J.D. leader quickly took down Sunstreaker and Hoist found himself under attack by Megatron, Overlord, Sixshot, and Shockwave—who then combined before disappearing at the same time Swerve fell unconscious. After Perceptor deduced that the planet was protected by a phobia shield, Hoist managed to defeat it by rendering Perceptor and Bob unconscious and facing his own worst fear—being alone. The Waiting Game

Swerve recovered from the experience and eventually returned to waiting tables. However, when Ultra Magnus finally found out about his bar, he led Swerve away in handcuffs and assigned him to punishment detail with Rewind, replacing rivets on the Lost Light's hull. However, their vantage point gave them an advantage when Fortress Maximus instigated a hostage crisis. While Rewind distracted Maximus with a recording of Garrus-9, Swerve fired his rivet gun through the window, but his poor aim blew Rung's head off instead of merely wounding Maximus as he'd hoped. Interiors Though Rung survived, Swerve was horrified to learn that his actions had left the psychiatrist in a coma. He visited Rung with Skids, and left one of Rung's model ships at his bedside. Rules of Disengagement At one point, he sat and talked to Rung for 147 hours straight, until the patient finally moved for the first time since the shooting... to make a "shush" gesture. Signal to Noise Swerve intended to attend Tailgate's Act of Affiliation ceremony but got sidetracked when he discovered Ore, who'd been involved in a quantum generator accident, had been recently revived. He was assigned by Rodimus to distract the blinded Ore from realizing what had happened to him, which would cause the engine he was stuck on to activate and quantum jump the whole ship. Swerve began a conversation with Ore under the false identity of Pipes, since the Duobot had been chatting with Pipes before the incident. Swerve used the conversation as an excuse to (surreptitiously) discuss the guilt he was experiencing after shooting Rung, his inability to disobey Rodimus for fear of losing his bar, as well as the confusion he was undergoing about the difference between peace and happiness. Ore allowed Swerve to realize that his ability to regret his actions made him a decent person, and Swerve considered whether or not he really wanted the reputation he'd earned. Moments later, Swerve was contacted by Rodimus to tell Ore the truth about what happened, as his death or mental breakdown would jump them away from the aggressive Galactic Council. Swerve responded by saying he would rather save Ore than hurt him, orders or no. Fortunately, the nearby Metrotitan quantum-jumped the ship and teleported Ore away as an extra convenience. You, Me, and Other RevelationsA few days later, Swerve joined a few other Autobots to watch "Proteus's Promise" in Rewind's hab-suite. Who's Afraid of the DJD? Swerve and Rewind arranged a series of storytelling sessions in the bar to try and help Rung's mental recovery. An Intimate Beheading They made little progress and eventually had a third session with Chromedome, Drift, Ratchet, Whirl, and others. Post Hoc Swerve was unable to stop himself occasionally interjecting into the story. Patternism Unable to get into his own quarters to fetch refreshments, Swerve raided Trailbreaker's stash of Nightmare Fuel. Following the story, the shipwide alarm sounded and Swerve speculated that someone had trodden dirt into Ultra Magnus's office. An Intimate Beheading The alarm turned out to be a call to take part in a mission to Temptoria to find the Circle of Light. Swerve kept himself calm during the trip in the Leading Light by using Rungian re-experience therapy, and took part in the battle against a Decepticon holdout on Temptoria until his gun ran out of ammunition. Whirl threw him the enormous "Shoomer", and as he struggled to lift the weapon he wound up accidentally shooting himself in the face. Despite the damage, he survived and was taken back to the Lost Light. Before & After While on shore leave on the planet Hedonia, Rodimus told Swerve to bring Ultra Magnus along and help him relax. However, when Magnus began hitting the nucleon and passed out, Swerve was left to provide a shoulder for the drunken Magnus to cry on. He tried to buck the enforcer up, reassuring him that people did like him; when Magnus fell unconscious again, Swerve quietly admitted that people didn't like him either, just his jokes. After an intense effort, Swerve and the gang got Ultra Magnus back to the Lost Light—after deciding that this particular "quest" was in his top three, he used a prototype broadcast system to call Blurr and tell him all about it, and refused to admit that the number was a fake. Sensing a new relationship with Magnus, Swerve asked him (next in a long line) if he'd like to share his room: Magnus, like everyone else, turned it down. Cybertronian Homesick Blues Swerve and Tailgate bet 100 shanix that each would be the first to discover what Rung transformed into without asking him directly. Swerve's initial attempts involved striking the psychiatrist in the neural cluster to induce an involuntary transformation, but he was unsuccessful. He then tried to bribe Rung by getting him Thunderclash's autograph, but soon found themselves in the middle of a hostage situation as the Autobot Paddox revealed he was actually a deep-cover group of Ammonites and demanded the Lost Light's quantum engines in exchange for Thunderclash's life. Swerve bemoaned the fact that they were unarmed, but Rung responded that wasn't necessarily the case—Swerve ultimately wound up using Rung's unusual alternate mode as a weapon and knocked "Paddox" back into his component robots. Little Victories Swerve accompanied Rewind to Brainstorm's laboratory in the hopes of finding Chromedome. While the other two Autobots talked, Swerve began playing with one of Brainstorm's inventions and accidentally triggered a "metafictional bomb" that caused Swerve to act like a character in a comic book. Just then, a ship wide alarm sounded—the notorious Decepticon psychopath Overlord had appeared on the ship and begun a rampage! Swerve wound up sitting by an injured Drift; still under the influence of the meta bomb, he began a detached monologue about their dire situation. Under Cold Blue Stars After Rewind sacrificed himself to kill Overlord, Swerve and Tailgate visited the ship's medbay as Ratchet tried to save the mortally wounded Ultra Magnus. Swerve played The Empyrean Suite, one of Magnus's favorite tunes, but Ratchet reminded him that his comatose patient couldn't hear the music.Shortly afterwards, at the memorial service for those killed during Overlord's rampage, Swerve decided to begin a "quest" to learn the contents of Brainstorm's briefcase to take his mind off the recent tragedies. The Gloaming Swerve succeeded in opening the briefcase; unbeknownst to Swerve, however, the reiterative nature of Brainstorm's time machine had a unique effect on his systems that allowed him to perpetually loop holomatter energy through his systems again and again.After the service, Ultra Magnus spontaneously revived and fled the ship aboard a shuttlecraft. A they pursued the ship, the Lost Light arrived at a vast portal hanging in space—Swerve enthused wildly about this latest development to Tailgate, ignorant that the Autobot-in-training had just been diagnosed with a fatal case of cybercrosis. Through the portal, the ship found the long lost Luna 1; despite his enthusiasm, Rodimus forbade Swerve from joining the landing party, as he'd done nothing useful with his metallurgical skills the past few months beside running his bar. A forlorn Swerve decided to shut down the bar for good... moments before the first Legislator attacked his bar. The Fecund Moon The mechanoid promptly shredded the room to bits, but Swerve was able to get behind the bar and trigger Brainstorm's automated security protocol. Despite taking fire from scores of automated turrets, the Legislator remained standing, so the bartender went for another gift from Brainstorm, My First Blaster™. Despite his infamously poor marksmanship, the chunky weapon allowed Swerve to put a hole through his assailant and kill it. Swerve rushed to the oil reservoir just in time to find his friend Skids, before Star Saber teleported in behind him and ran Skids through. Swerve frantically opened fire, but missed every shot and was knocked unconscious. House of Ambus The two Autobots were teleported into a cell on Luna 1 where they found the other captured members of the Lost Light's landing party and Getaway, The Divided Self who explained that the insane Chief Justice Tyrest was behind their imprisonment. After escaping, the group rushed to confront Tyrest, only for the mad lawman to incapacitate the Autobots and activate his universal killswitch. Arm the Lonely Swerve finally got to put his metallurgy skills to good use when he and his team raided Pharma's medbay, where he helped discover a cure for cybercrosis and save Tailgate's life. This Calamitous Life Swerve was still congratulating himself when he was approached by Brainstorm, who suspected that someone had opened his briefcase. The Sound of Breaking Glass After returning to the Lost Light, Swerve began cleaning up his bar, only to find several crewmembers promising to help clean up if he'd re-open it. At Swerve's suggestion, Jackpot found a damaged Legislator; Swerve rebuilt it, hacked its "bruised brain", and put the newly christened "Ten" to work as a doorman. Words Hang in the Air After the Lost Light left Luna 1, Swerve held a grand reopening of his bar. This Calamitous Life While on their way to make contact with Thunderclash, the Lost Light received a dire warning from Orion Pax regarding the destruction of Gorlam Prime. Demonstrating a keen awareness of the severity of the situation, Swerve turned the warning into the ringtone for his comm unit. Dark Dawn After they rescued Pax and his crew, Swerve held a welcoming celebration at his bar. As Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, and "Optimus Prime" shared a drink together at his bar, Swerve couldn't contain himself and started taking pictures for the wall until they shooed him away. Black Metal The Lost Light quantum jumped to the planet Hydrophena in search of Metroplex, but were attacked by thousands of Ammonites. Swerve joined the crew in taking the fight to the Stentarian army hand-to-hand while Ultra Magnus, Ratchet, and several others went for Metroplex himself. Into the Abyss During the battle, Swerve saved famous Crosscut, and protested that he was one of the "main cast" when Crosscut admitted he didn't know who he was. Inside Metroplex, Swerve's comrades located traces of admium in the water running through the Titan, and contacted him for his metallurgic expertise. Swerve warned that Metroplex might have contracted an alchemical virus and told them to retreat as the Ammonite horde swarmed into Metroplex's cranium. The Dead Are Not Enough Swerve and the crew got back aboard the Lost Light before Metroplex linked with the ship and triggered his internal spacebridge, bringing them back to Cybertron in time for Metroplex to defeat the Necrotitan. Finis Temporis After the dark Titan fell, Swerve opened up Swerve's for Autobot and Decepticon alike to relax in. His innermost energon nearly boiled over, though, when a dream came true: Blurr. In his bar. Swerve played it as cool as he could, meaning he left Blurr feeling unnerved and very annoyed at "that three-fingered guy". The Becoming As the Ammonites returned to invade Cybertron by the billions, Swerve held the ground with the other Cybertronians. Black Planet They kept the planet from falling until the leadership of the Autobots and Decepticons succeeded in stopping Shockwave's mad schemes. ...And the Damage Done
