	As the inexplicable tectonic events continued to shake the planet, Geomotus and his fellow academics convened in Crystal City to contact the reclusive Senator [[Straxus (G1)\|Straxxus]] in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)\|Darkmount]]. Although Highbrow merely wished to secure the mothballed [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]s stored in the city, Geomotus was far more interested in discussing Straxxus's latest papers and corroborated the senator's theories regarding the intensifying geological activity—based on Straxxus's calculations, he speculated that a correctly angled groundquake could theoretically destroy the [[Rust Sea\|Sea of Rust]]'s impermeable layer and cause untold damage to the planet. {{storylink\|Escape Part Two}}		As the inexplicable tectonic events continued to shake the planet, Geomotus and his fellow academics convened in Crystal City to contact the reclusive Senator [[Straxus (G1)\|Straxxus]] in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)\|Darkmount]].

	When increased tectonic activity threatened to crumble the continental shelf that isolated the Sea of Rust from the rest of the planet, Highbrow sent Geomotus and Landmine to plant a network of early-warning sensors that would track any further disturbances. While scouting the shoreline, the pair met [[Termagax]], who offered them sanctuary inside her walking [[House (building)\|House]] moments before a Decepticon patrol searching for the [[Enigma of Combination]] spotted her.

	Unlike most Cybertronians, Geomotus is neurodivergent. In practice this means that he's blunt, occasionally withdrawn, and sometimes struggles with social cues—for instance, he sometimes forgets that not ''all'' Transformers are as interested in planetary tectonics or fissure dynamics as he is, and might not appreciate hearing about them in inopportune situations. To help him adjust to unfamiliar or upsetting situations, he carries with him a set of "shapes": handheld blocks that allow him to self-soothe by ~~focussing~~ on something familiar. Despite these eccentricities, the [[Autobot]]s and their allies view Geomotus as a respected colleague, whose meticulous, methodical nature allows him to detect patterns in Cybertron's metallic strata that less careful observers might overlook.

	Geomotus worked with [[Highbrow (G1)\|Highbrow]] at the [[Academy of Research]] in [[Crystal City]]. {{storylink\|~~Escape~~ Part Two}} He'd worked with [[Froid]] to help manage his condition, and his knowledge relating to the geology of Cybertron meant that he was sometimes called on to work with Cybertron's [[Security Operations]] when the need arose—so long as Froid ensured that Geomotus limited his interactions with the notoriously abrasive [[Prowl (G1)\|Prowl]].

	While out in the wilderness, Geomotus reported that the surface material was unsuitable for leaving tracks, but noted an unusual pattern of microfissures that he speculated could be the result of excavation. The three chanced across the reclusive hermit [[Cyclonus (G1)\|Cyclonus]] near the [[Memorial Crater]]; suspecting that he might know something about Brainstorm's death, Chromia and Windblade were able to catch up to him and question him for information.

	In the coming weeks, these unusual seismic patterns would continue to befuddle geologists, and when a series of particularily violent disturbances tore apart the oldest and most geologically stable area on the planet, Highbrow sent Geomotus, Landmine, [[Azimuth (G1)\|Azimuth]], and [[Beachcomber (G1)\|Beachcomber]] to investigate.

	As the inexplicable tectonic events continued to shake the planet, Geomotus and his fellow academics convened in Crystal City to contact the reclusive Senator [[Straxus (G1)\|Straxxus]] in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)\|Darkmount]]. Although Highbrow merely wished to secure the mothballed [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]s stored in the city, Geomotus was far more interested in discussing Straxxus's latest papers and corroborated the senator's theories regarding the intensifying geological activity—based on Straxxus's calculations, he speculated that a correctly angled groundquake could theoretically destroy the [[Rust Sea]]'s impermeable layer and cause untold damage to the planet. {{storylink\|Escape Part Two}}		As the inexplicable tectonic events continued to shake the planet, Geomotus and his fellow academics convened in Crystal City to contact the reclusive Senator [[Straxus (G1)\|Straxxus]] in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)\|Darkmount]].

			When increased tectonic activity threatened to crumble the continental shelf that isolated the Sea of Rust from the rest of the planet, Highbrow sent Geomotus and Landmine to plant a network of early-warning sensors that would track any further disturbances. While scouting the shoreline, the pair met [[Termagax]], who offered them sanctuary inside her walking [[House (building)\|House]] moments before a Decepticon patrol searching for the [[Enigma of Combination]] spotted her. Geomotus alerted Highbrow of the encounter, and Optimus Prime sent out a team of Autobots to protect Termagax after [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]] accosted her with a swarm of Insecticons. {{storylink\|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I\|Sea of Rust I}} After eliminating the Insecticons, the Autobots dug in as they expected further Decepticon incursions.

The group stumbled across one of Exarchon's hidden bases and tripped a group of automated turrets. Amidst the crossfire, Geomotus detected an artificial shaft, and while Zetar investigated the other Autobots were confronted by Exarchon himself in [[Deathsaurus (G1)\|Deathsaurus]]' body. {{storylink\|War's End Part One}} Much smaller than their pursuer, the Autobots huddled in one of the Canyons' cracks before Zetar returned, leading the group down one of his tunnels and into Exarchon's fortress. {{storylink\|War's End Part Two}} Left in a storeroom with Landmine, Geomotus found solace with his shapes and invited his friend to join in. {{storylink\|War's End Part Three}}

When [[Soundblaster (G1)\|Soundblaster]] caught up with the pair, Geomotus took cover while the other Autobots fought and ultimately defeated Exarchon and his followers; after fleeing the subsequent cave-in, Geomotus and his friends returned to the surface of Cybertron unharmed. {{storylink\|War's End Part Four}}

	'''Geomotus''' is ~~a proficient geologist, able to observe patterns in~~ [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s ~~metal~~ that ~~others do not notice~~. A neurodivergent ~~individual~~, ~~Geomotus~~ is ~~rarely seen without his~~ "shapes"~~—handheld~~ blocks that ~~help~~ him to ~~focus his perception~~.		'''Geomotus''' is one of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s most proficient geologists. A dedicated scientist, he's happiest when he's outdoors exploring the vast and ever-changing vistas of his homeworld—whether that's spelunking into the [[Sonic Canyons]] or surveying the [[Rust Sea]]—rather than fighting [[Decepticon]]s.

			Unlike most Cybertronians, Geomotus is neurodivergent. In practice this means that he's blunt, occasionally withdrawn, and sometimes struggles with social cues—for instance, he sometimes forgets that not ''all'' Transformers are as interested in planetary tectonics or fissure dynamics as he is, especally in inopportune situations. To help him adjust to unfamiliar or upsetting situations, he carries with him a set of "shapes": handheld blocks that allow him to self-soothe by focussing on something familiar. Despite these eccentricities, the [[Autobot]]s and their allies view Geomotus as a respected colleague, whose meticulous, methodical nature allows him to detect patterns in Cybertron's metallic strata that less careful observers might overlook.

	Geomotus worked with [[Highbrow (G1)\|Highbrow]] at the [[Academy of Research]] in [[Crystal City]]. {{storylink\|~~Escape~~ Part Two}} He'd worked with [[Froid]] to help manage his condition, and his knowledge relating to the geology of Cybertron meant that he was sometimes called on to work with Cybertron's [[Security Operations]] when the need arose—so long as Froid ensured that Geomotus limited his interactions with the notoriously abrasive [[Prowl (G1)\|Prowl]]. When [[Chromia (G1)\|Chromia]] requested his assistance during the investigation into [[Brainstorm (G1)\|Brainstorm]]'s murder, Geomotus joined her in [[Rubble]]'s apartment; though his brusque demeanour initially confused Rubble, [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] and Chromia explained his condition to the young Cybertronian before heading out into the badlands. {{storylink\|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}}		Geomotus worked with [[Highbrow (G1)\|Highbrow]] at the [[Academy of Research]] in [[Crystal City]], {{storylink\|Escape Part Two}} but spent most of his time out in the field with his good friend [[Landmine (G1)\|Landmine]], a fellow geologist he idolized for his pioneering descent into Cybertron's core. {{storylink\|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} In the past, he'd worked with the psychologist [[Froid]] to help manage his condition, and his knowledge relating to the geology of Cybertron meant that he was sometimes called on to work with Cybertron's [[Security Operations]] when the need arose—so long as Froid ensured that Geomotus limited his interactions with the notoriously abrasive [[Prowl (G1)\|Prowl]].

	While out in the wilderness, Geomotus reported that the surface material was unsuitable for leaving tracks, but noted an unusual pattern of microfissures that he speculated could be the result of excavation. The three chanced across the reclusive hermit [[Cyclonus (G1)\|Cyclonus]] near the [[Memorial Crater]]; suspecting that he might know something about Brainstorm's death, Chromia and Windblade were able to catch up to him and question him for information. Unable to pick up that Cyclonus was merely stalling, Geomotus was intrigued by his comments about recent geological events in the area. {{storylink\|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}} Some time later, Security Operations discovered the presence of an underground Rise bunker beneath the crater, and Chromia called Geomotus for an expert opinion. Although the geologist was preparing for an expedition of his own to the [[Metal Geyser]]s with his friend [[Landmine (G1)\|Landmine]], he confirmed that the microfissures he'd found earlier were likely the result of careless large-scale excavations. {{storylink\|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}}		While out in the wilderness, Geomotus reported that the surface material was unsuitable for leaving tracks, but noted an unusual pattern of microfissures that he speculated could be the result of excavation.

	In the coming weeks, these unusual seismic patterns would continue to befuddle geologists, and when a series of particularily violent disturbances tore apart the oldest and most geologically stable area on the planet, Highbrow sent Geomotus, Landmine, [[Azimuth (G1)\|Azimuth]], and [[Beachcomber (G1)\|Beachcomber]] to investigate. While surveying the region, they found that [[Leviathan (G1)\|Leviathan]] had stranded herself in a newly-formed canyon before another tremor hit the area and opened another fissure. When they sighted [[Quake (G1)\|Quake]] exiting an overturned transport, Geomotus smelled trouble and went back to keep Leviathan company; when the pair overheard the sounds of the conflict, Geomotus watched as Leviathan finally transformed into robot mode to fight [[the Rise]]. {{storylink\|Rise of the Decepticons: Tremors\|Tremors}}		In the coming weeks, these unusual seismic patterns would continue to befuddle geologists, and when a series of particularily violent disturbances tore apart the oldest and most geologically stable area on the planet, Highbrow sent Geomotus, Landmine, [[Azimuth (G1)\|Azimuth]], and [[Beachcomber (G1)\|Beachcomber]] to investigate.

	As the inexplicable tectonic events continued to shake the planet, Geomotus and his fellow academics convened in Crystal City to contact the reclusive Senator [[Straxus (G1)\|Straxxus]] in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)\|Darkmount]]. Although Highbrow merely wished to secure the mothballed [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]s stored in the city, Geomotus was far more interested in discussing Straxxus's latest papers and corroborated the senator's theories regarding the intensifying geological activity—based on Straxxus's calculations, he speculated that a correctly angled groundquake could theoretically destroy the [[Rust Sea]]'s impermeable layer and cause untold damage to the planet. {{storylink\|Escape Part Two}}		As the inexplicable tectonic events continued to shake the planet, Geomotus and his fellow academics convened in Crystal City to contact the reclusive Senator [[Straxus (G1)\|Straxxus]] in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)\|Darkmount]].

			When increased tectonic activity threatened to crumble the continental shelf that isolated the Sea of Rust from the rest of the planet, Highbrow sent Geomotus and Landmine to plant a network of early-warning sensors that would track any further disturbances. While scouting the shoreline, the pair met [[Termagax]], who offered them sanctuary inside her walking [[House (building)\|House]] moments before a Decepticon patrol searching for the [[Enigma of Combination]] spotted her. Geomotus alerted Highbrow of the encounter, and Optimus Prime sent out a team of Autobots to protect Termagax after [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]] accosted her with a swarm of Insecticons. {{storylink\|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I\|Sea of Rust I}} After eliminating the Insecticons, the Autobots dug in as they expected further Decepticon incursions.

The group stumbled across one of Exarchon's hidden bases and tripped a group of automated turrets. Amidst the crossfire, Geomotus detected an artificial shaft, and while Zetar investigated the other Autobots were confronted by Exarchon himself in [[Deathsaurus (G1)\|Deathsaurus]]' body. {{storylink\|War's End Part One}} Much smaller than their pursuer, the Autobots huddled in one of the Canyons' cracks before Zetar returned, leading the group down one of his tunnels and into Exarchon's fortress. {{storylink\|War's End Part Two}} Left in a storeroom with Landmine, Geomotus found solace with his shapes and invited his friend to join in. {{storylink\|War's End Part Three}}

	~~When~~ the ~~Decepticons marched on~~ [[~~Crystal City~~]], Geomotus ~~was part of [[Zetar (G1)\|Zetar]]'s team to~~ the ~~[[Sonic Canyons]], tasked~~ with ~~finding any trace~~ of ~~[[Exarchon]] or his hidden secrets. As~~ the ~~group travelled, they were attacked by automated turrets, falling to~~ the ~~ground~~. Continuing to monitor everything, Geomotus detected an artificial shaft that was shielded from easy detection. After Zetar had descended to investigate, the group was confronted by Exarchon himself, wearing [[~~Deathsaurus~~ (G1)\|~~Deathsaurus~~]]~~' body. {{storylink\|War's End Part One}} Much smaller than their pursuer~~, the Autobots ~~huddled in one of the Canyons' cracks before Zetar returned, leading the group down one of his tunnels~~ and ~~into~~ Exarchon~~'s fortress. {{storylink\|War's End Part Two}} Left~~ in ~~a storeroom with Landmine~~, Geomotus ~~found solace with~~ his ~~shapes, inviting his friend~~ to ~~join in~~. {{storylink\|War's End Part ~~Three~~}}		As Exarchon implanted part of his spark into an enormous driller and began his final descent towards the [[AllSpark]], Geomotus and the other Autobots pursued Exarchon underground with the intent of heading the insane conqueror off before he could reach the core of the planet. When [[Soundblaster (G1)\|Soundblaster]] caught up with the pair, Geomotus took cover while the other Autobots fought and ultimately defeated Exarchon and his followers; after fleeing the subsequent cave-in, Geomotus and his friends returned to the surface of Cybertron unharmed. {{storylink\|War's End Part Four}}
