Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

While snooping around the Decepticons' abandoned base in Oregon, Verity Carlo discovered Deacon's body in a facsimile "seed pod". Infiltration #4

9 months prior, Deacon's facsimile met with Senator Holt, reassuring the Senator that instability in the Gulf region is a good thing... for the Senator. Runabout was nearby and secretly tagged the Senator as a "primary target". Escalation #2

Deacon's facsimile later attended an emergency session of the National Security Council regarding sightings of a UFO crashing into the Gulf of Mexico. He was pulled out of the meeting by a phone call from Senator Holt. Deacon's facsimile agreed with Senator Holt that Alpha-Scenario should proceed as planned. Devastation #3

Notes

• Since the events of Devastation, the continuity has been taken in new directions, so we are not likely to learn more about the mysterious Alpha-Scenario.
• In the initial appearance of Deacon's corpse, it was wearing a Navy uniform. In a later flashback, it was wearing an Army uniform, presumably so it matched the General who was conspiring with Senator Holt.
