Last Bot Standing

Long after the end of theGreat War,the depletion of the universe's resources, and the near-extinction of the Cybertronian species, Lunaclub was one of the last remaining members of her kind. She and several other survivors joined up withSteeljaw;to survive in a post-energonuniverse, the group roamed from planet to planet, harvesting and processing organic beings into a new form of "biofuel"capable of supporting Transformer life. When the group arrived on the planetDonnoktand began assembling their beachhead, Steeljaw toldMoonto revive Lunaclub andScyllafrom stasis and begin constructing the breeding paddocks that would ensure a renewable supply of resources.Last Bot Standing #2

Although Steeljaw's advance scouts foundRodimushiding out on the planet, the elderly Autobot had no intent of joining them or adopting Steeljaw's parasitic way of life. Instead, Lunaclub joined Steeljaw andSharpclawas they invaded the nearby town ofFembranceand imprisoned most of its occupants. However, before they could return to their landing site with their prisoners, a freshly re-energized Rodimus arrived to stop them.Last Bot Standing #3

After it was found that Rodimus had been hidingenergon,the pack's hunger for true fuel caused them to charge Steeljaw for the energon keys, accidentally shattering one. AfterShib Wallkisused the distraction to free the organics and Steeljaw andSharpclawchased her to the energon mine, the rest of the pack combined intoUnstoppimusto hold off Rodimus but their fuel starved state allowed Rodimus to quickly behead their combined form. Though the shock sent the others intostasis lock,Lunaclub remained online, begging Rodimus for mercy. Though the Autobot nearly executed her, he spared her life as he rushed off to save Shib. After Rodimus had defeated Steeljaw, he turned what remained of the visitors' ship into an orbiting pod, locking Lunaclub, minus her visor, and the other survivors in stasis as he kept a solitary watch on them.Last Bot Standing #4
