'''D.0.C.''' is a small hovering drone created by [[Jetfire (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jetfire]]. He communicates by various beeps which only Jetfire (and perhaps [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]]) seems to understand. Named for the type of memory system he uses, a Dynamic Zero-Phase Chalcogenide unit, he is usually seen accompanying Jetfire and carrying out his master's orders.  While Jetfire values him exclusively for technical assistance, D.0.C. is treated by Cosmos and [[Buster (IDW)|some]] [[Bob (IDW)|others]] as a friend, rather than a [[spark|sparkless]] automaton.  This distinction does not go unnoticed, and D.0.C. is always eager to help those who hold him in such esteem.

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===

D.0.C. was on board the [[Ark-7]] for its journey to [[Earth]] following [[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Shockwave's attempt to end the Universe]]. As [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s team clashed with [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]] on the planet, D.0.C. found Jetfire was busy looking for a way to fight some [[human]]-built micro-bots. As the pair was preparing to eradicate the threat, they found the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] had already taken care of the problem. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} As Optimus's team returned to the ship, Jetfire and D.0.C. greeted them with the news that they'd tracked the source of the humans' "mind bomb" to the [[Marshall Islands]]. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} While Jazz infiltrated the [[Earth Defense Command|EDC]]'s Marshall Island base, D.0.C. and Jetfire joined the other Autobots in storming the beach {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 4: Full Fathom Five|Full Fathom Five}} They found themselves facing a Decepticon warship, causing D.0.C. to warn that they weren't going to be able to hold it off for long. Then the final phases of [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]'s plan came into play, the warship came crashing down, and the Autobots successfully made off with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 5: I Dream of Wires|I Dream of Wires}}

Jetfire, [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]], and D.0.C. rushed to the shuttlebay when the alarm was triggered, only to find it was just Optimus and Alpha Trion leaving for a jaunt in the ''[[Skyroller]]''. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Once they'd returned, Jetfire and D.0.C. continued to care for Trion, noting with disapproval that the sudden trip hadn't exactly improved his condition. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|Signals, Calls, and Marches}} As Jetfire looked over a stolen Onyx datapad D.0.C. hovered over his shoulder and made banter with Cosmos. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} When Cosmos returned from a mission he plopped down on his recharge berth and D.0.C. snuggled up against his legs. {{storylink|South of Heaven}} D.0.C. tracked the signal of the Onyx products to the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] and went with Jetfire, [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and [[Jazz (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jazz]]. They got beat into stasis by massive Thrust/Ramjet combiners that [[G.B. Blackrock]] had made using the [[Enigma of Combination]]. The Autobots were carted off but D.0.C. escaped {{storylink|The Nothing Man}} and tracked the Autobots to the [[Earth Defense Command]]'s secret base and found himself face to face with [[Buster (IDW)|Buster]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}}

D.0.C. tried to get rid of Buster but the pair were found by [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]] though D.0.C. couldn't be sure if it was him or [[Skywarp (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Skywarp]]. It was ultimately irrelevant as the Seeker proved too unintelligent to be of use. Buster led D.0.C. to a canteen where he was able to hack into the system and determine his friends were held in a secret room. Due to Buster distracting [[Marissa Faireborn|Faireborn]] and [[Ayana Jones|Jones]] D.0.C. managed to slip away but was snagged a drone maintenance truck. He managed to escape due to Buster's help and the two fled down a ventilation shaft and below the secret room. Buster began barking frantically as the drone cut which D.0.C. realized (after the cut had been made) that Buster needed to breath. He flew the two up into the room were they found the Autobots. At Jetfire's orders he cut them all free. The Autobots were ready to tear up tear the EDC apart for their capture before D.0.C. and Buster explained the situation causing all to realize Blackrock was the true mastermind. The combined force confronted him in [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Spike Witwicky's]] cell and overpowered him only for Galvatron and Skywarp to teleport in with the former claiming Blackrock was a sleeper agent of [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 3: Helden|Helden}} After his ordeal, D.0.C. recuperated with Jetfire and Buster while the Autobots and E.D.C. made plans to oppose Galvatron. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} 

Following Prime's annexation of Earth into the [[Council of Worlds]], D.0.C. joined the Autobots and their allies aboard the ''[[Skyroller]]''. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth|Edge of the Earth}} Back at the temporary Autobot base in [[Monument Valley]], he watched as Optimus Prime coordinated a joint operation on Galvatron's underwater base of operations. They were interrupted by the EDC and the [[People's Liberation Army Mecha Force]], who launched an airstrike on their position. D.0.C. helped get Buster to safety,  {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} but was cornered by a Chinese mech. At the last moment, Optimus managed to scare off the humans by awakening the dormant [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}} 

Some time later, D.0.C. was hanging out near the [[space bridge]] in the newly-christened [[Autobot City]] when [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] appeared and blasted [[Aileron]]. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} Revealing himself as a [[Titan Master]], D.0.C. and [[Bob (IDW)|Bob]] grappled with Sentinel's headless [[transtector]] body but were unable to bring it down. Sentinel soon fled Earth taking Optimus and [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] with him, and D.0.C. helped tend to the injured Aileron in the Titan's medical bay. {{storylink|White Light}} D.0.C. was present when the two returned from the abandoned colony of [[Prion]]. {{storylink|White Heat}}

A few months later, D.0.C. had joined up with Thundercracker; together with Bob and Buster, the quartet helped to evacuate a burning building in [[Pittsburgh]]. An urgent mission from Marissa took them to [[Washington, D.C.]], where they discovered that the White House and its assets had been coopted by a new threat: the malicious [[Dire Wraith]]s. D.0.C. helped pin down several [[Seeker clone]]s so that Thundercracker could fry them with his jet engines, and later served as an impromptu bodyguard for the [[President of the United States]]. {{storylink|Thundercracker & Buster Save the World}} 

With Autobot City now airborne, D.0.C. served aboard the flying vessel as it patrolled Earth. He accompanied [[Pyra Magna]] when she reported the approach of an inbound [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]] ship. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|To Walk Among the Chosen}} He later helped tend to the comatose Sideswipe, providing a sympathetic ear to Arcee's musings. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}} He later served as a sparring partner for the female Autobot. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows|Dance Among the Shadows}} When the Junkions later turned a neutral summit into a battleground by unleashing a horde of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s on the assembled delegates, D.0.C. helped evacuate the wounded by loading Sideswipe's stasis pod onto [[Sky Lynx]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 5: Future Glories Lost|Future Glories Lost}}
