Fiction

Beast Wars: Uprising

A member of the rulingOptimus triumvirate on the colony world ofRebirth, Diac and his compatriotsApex andHi-Q happily reaped the fruits of the vast and crumbling oligarchy that spanned their planet. Any attempts to speak out against their authority were swiftly dealt with; when an increasingly vocal faction made their displeasure known, the Optimus branded their political rivals the "Malignus" and drove them underground. It was all sunshine and roses for the Optimus... until a guy namedGalvatron came knocking, bringing theDecepticons along with him and finding a ready-made group of angry rebels just itching to overthrow their oppressors.

Now a "Triple-Threat Master", the quartet of Galvatron,Nucleon,Clench, andDoomshot stormed Rebirth's capital ofAstrotopia.A Brush With Infamy–Prologue Diac was crushed by Galvatron, and the other two members of the Optimus imprisoned.

During theVehicon Apocalypse, Galvatron recalled the state of Optimus's head, though he was peeved whenKrunix corrected his recollection and told him he'd killed Diac, and Apex had been the one who'd been the Once and Future Prime's partner.Derailment
