	With time running out, Clicker watched in awe as Rung used the Council's [[Size changing\|mass displacement]] on himself to grow to colossal proportions and battle the rogue moon with his fists. Clicker worried if Rung's role in the battle was proof of Functionism after all, but Megatron assured him that ''choosing'' one's purpose was the exact opposite of the doctrine. As the battle raged on, Clicker helped evacuate the lost Autobots to a matter transporter that would take them up to Luna Two and allow them to transport the entire weapon far away from Cybertron. After a false start, he found a working transporter, and the Autobots thanked Clicker for his help as he teleported the group—sans [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]] and [[Terminus (G1)\|Terminus]]—away. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 6: This Machine Kills Fascists\|This Machine Kills Fascists}}		With time running out, Clicker watched in awe as Rung used the Council's [[Size changing\|mass displacement]] on himself to grow to colossal proportions and battle the rogue moon with his fists.

	Clicker was one of the hundreds of thousands of Transformers whose alternate mode was declared "obsolete" following one of the perennial reorganizations of the [[Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy]]. He fled to the sacred city of [[Kalis\|Adaptica]], where [[Nine-of-Twelve]] allowed him and his like to seek sanctuary. At some point after this, Clicker joined the [[Anti-Vocationist League]]. He organized several attempts to rescue [[Rung (G1)\|Rung]], whose status as the "Useless One" turned him into a figurehead for anti-Functionist sentiment on Cybertron, though their efforts were fruitless. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced\|A World Misplaced}}		Clicker was one of the hundreds of thousands of Transformers whose alternate mode was declared "obsolete" following one of the perennial reorganizations of the [[Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy]].

	Clicker was one of the hundreds of thousands of Transformers whose alternate mode was declared "obsolete" following one of the perennial reorganizations of the [[Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy]]. He fled to the sacred city of [[Kalis\|Adaptica]], where [[Nine-of-Twelve]] allowed him and his like to seek sanctuary. At some point after this, Clicker joined the [[Anti-Vocationist League]]. He organized several attempts to rescue [[Rung (G1)\|Rung]], whose status as the "Useless One" turned him into a figurehead for anti-Functionist sentiment on Cybertron, though their efforts were fruitless. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced\|A World Misplaced}}		Clicker was one of the hundreds of thousands of Transformers whose alternate mode was declared "obsolete" following one of the perennial reorganizations of the [[Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy]].

	In his new role as a guerilla warrior, Clicker and several other members of the league attacked [[Twelve-of-Twelve]] as he paraded a gang of recently-captured convicts through the streets. Despite their dramatic entrance, they couldn't put up much of a fight against the [[Functionary]] enforcers, and at [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Rodimus]]' behest the [[Autobot]]s joined the fight. Thanks to [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]]'s tactical acumen, the Autobots managed to overcome the Functionaries.

	With time running out, Clicker watched in awe as Rung used the Council's [[Size changing\|mass displacement]] on himself to grow to colossal proportions and battle the rogue moon with his fists. Clicker worried if Rung's role in the battle was proof of Functionism after all, but Megatron assured him that ''choosing'' one's purpose was the exact opposite of the doctrine. As the battle raged on, Clicker helped evacuate the lost Autobots to a matter transporter that would take them up to Luna Two and allow them to transport the entire weapon far away from Cybertron. After a false start, he found a working transporter, and the Autobots thanked Clicker for his help as he teleported the group—sans [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]] and [[Terminus (G1)\|Terminus]]—away. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 6: This Machine Kills Fascists\|This Machine Kills Fascists}}		With time running out, Clicker watched in awe as Rung used the Council's [[Size changing\|mass displacement]] on himself to grow to colossal proportions and battle the rogue moon with his fists.

Clicker subsequently helped teleport the Autobots directly into the [[Cog (base)\|Cog]], and watched as Rung revealed his ''true'' purpose: the manufacture of [[photonic crystal]]s. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 5: Modes of Production\|Modes of Production}}		Clicker explained the situation behind Adaptica's status as a "sanctuary city" for the dimensional castaways before taking them to meet with Nine-Of-Twelve and [[Anode]], leaders of the AVL. Later, Clicker watched in horror as the Council announced "Revelation Day" and trotted out Rung's supposed [[alternate mode]]. This ceremony was quickly overshadowed by the return of the now-weaponized [[Moonbase Two\|Luna Two]] as part of a larger Functionist plot. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced\|A World Misplaced}} With the entire city of Adaptica threatened with genocide, Clicker joined the Autobots as they teleported into the [[Vector Sigma]] chamber to intercept Rung and the Council. He was lessed than impressed with Rodimus' reckless tackling of [[Six-of-Twelve]]. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 4: Bad Moon Rising\|Bad Moon Rising}} With Rung liberated and returned to normal, Clicker helped teleport the Autobots back to the surface, rigging the controls on the [[matter transporter]] to explode so the Councillers couldn't follow them. Clicker subsequently helped teleport the Autobots directly into the [[Cog (base)\|Cog]], and watched as Rung revealed his ''true'' purpose: the manufacture of [[photonic crystal]]s. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 5: Modes of Production\|Modes of Production}}

	With time running out, Clicker watched in awe as Rung used the Council's [[Size changing\|mass displacement]] on himself to grow to colossal proportions and battle the rogue moon with his fists. Clicker worried if Rung's role in the battle was proof of Functionism after all, but Megatron assured him that ''choosing'' one's purpose was the exact opposite of the doctrine. As the battle raged on, Clicker helped evacuate the lost Autobots to a matter transporter that would take them up to Luna Two and allow them to transport the entire weapon far away from Cybertron. After a false start, he found a working transporter, and the Autobots thanked Clicker for his help as he teleported the group—sans [[Megatron (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Megatron]] and [[Terminus (G1)\|Terminus]]—away. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 6: This Machine Kills Fascists\|This Machine Kills Fascists}}		With time running out, Clicker watched in awe as Rung used the Council's [[Size changing\|mass displacement]] on himself to grow to colossal proportions and battle the rogue moon with his fists.
