	Leader-1 eventually set himself up as a monarch on board the Command Center. More concerned with his own standing, he appeared to have made little attempt to protect the [[human]]s as they became primitive and [[Gobotron]] was built, even forcing [[Scooter (GoBots)\|Scooter]] to murder the human freedom fighter [[A.J. Foster]] when she began to oppose his plans, leading [[Turbo (GoBots)\|Turbo]] to leave his service before the same could be done to him. Leader-1's regime was held in place in a brutal fashion, with his subjects put through reprogramming and even dematerialization to keep his troops docile. He became mainly concerned with his struggles with Cy-Kill and the threat of [[Zod]]. Many, many years passed until the human crew of [[Spay-C]] encountered Leader-1, whose Go-Bots helped save them from Zod, only to then throw them in the Command Center's brig. With [[Major Mo\|Major Domo]] as his advisor, he reacted angrily when emissaries of the [[Trade Federation]] complained that Zod still had not been defeated, and mentioned that Leader-1 might have a rival to his crown in the form of the nomadic [[Road Ranger]]. He then interrogated Spay-C and became furious when the new arrival mentioned [[Earth]]. That night, he was visited by [[Eno]], the Dark Angel, who gave him a vision of the [[Lazer Lance]], a weapon that could defeat Zod which was buried on Gobotron. The visitation led him to reverse his plans to dematerialize Spay-C, believing his arrival to have been a good omen. However, Cy-Kill led the Renegades against the Command Center, having trained Zod to follow him. Leader-1 ordered the Command Center to take off, with the Renegades' [[Thruster]] in pursuit. Along with [[Heat Seeker (GoBots)\|Heat Seeker]], [[Royal-T]], [[Path Finder]] and Spay-C, he fought off the Renegades while [[Tic Toc]] calculated a jump to hyperspeed getting back on-board just before the Command Center made the jump and headed towards the center of Gobotron—which was, in fact, Earth. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 3\|Go-Bots #3}}		Leader-1 eventually set himself up as a monarch on board the Command Center.

	There, he received another vision, this time from the Go-Bot god [[Courageous]], urging him to find the Lazer Lance. He made an uneasy alliance with Turbo and the brain-damaged Scooter to locate the weapon, and the journey bought them into contact with the [[Go-Lems]] and Braxis's army of [[Vamp]]s. Ultimately, they found both the Lazer Lance and Courageous, which split into armor suits for the Go-Bots. However, when Leader-1 prepared to confront Zod. the Lazer Lance was snatched off him and broken in half by Cy-Kill. The intervention of the Go-Lems dropped Zod and Cy-Kill into a canyon, which Cop-Tur took as a signal to challenge Leader-1 to single combat. Leader-1 battered him before gathering up the halves of the Lazer Lance to see if Zod could still be destroyed. He led a small team including Turbo, Scooter, Spay-C and [[Screw Head]]; together they were finally able to destroy Zod. Leader-1 was injured in the process, and while they had been fighting Zod, Cy-Kill had taken control of the Command Center. He used it to fire on the Guardians, riddling Leader-1 with bullets. The dying Go-Bot was then visited again by Eno and a vision of Nick as he died and was buried in Courageous' torso section. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 4\|Go-Bots #4}}		There, he received another vision, this time from the Go-Bot god [[Courageous]], urging him to find the Lazer Lance.

	Leader-1 was a [[GoBot\|Go-Bot]] created for the US military as a smart metal asset. Leader-1 and [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)\|Cy-Kill]] were produced at the same time, with their earliest programming including throwing a basketball to each other. Leader-1 was later partnered with ace pilot [[Nick Burns]]. Along with [[Beaky]] and [[Condor]], they were entrusted with a top secret hostage rescue mission. Despite the loss of Beaky, Leader-1 was able to get into the installation, wiping out most of the guards with his hand-mounted machine guns and locating the hostages, who were then freed by Nick. Afterwards they travelled to the Go-Bot [[Command Center (GoBots)\|Command Center]] at the [[Pentagon]], where they were briefed about the growing activities of a group of [[Renegade]] Go-Bots in the desert near [[Route 66]]. On investigation, Leader-1 picked up a caravan of the Renegades but was jumped by [[Cop-Tur (GoBots)\|Cop-Tur]] as they went in to attack. Leader-1 knocked the Renegade out with a missile and then began strafing [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)\|Cy-Kill]], who slipped into a canyon. The pair converted to robot mode and engaged in combat, during which Nick was injured. Cy-Kill then criticized Leader-1 for being a mere tool of the humans, who he felt were unworthy of commanding the superior Go-Bots. Leader-1 listened but ultimately disagreed. However, he had been surrounded by the other Renegades and [[Tank (GoBots)\|Tank]] was able to take Leader-1's military knowledge—including nuclear codes.

With [[Major Mo\|Major Domo]] as his advisor, he reacted angrily when emissaries of the [[Trade Federation]] complained that Zod still had not been defeated, and mentioned that Leader-1 might have a rival to his crown in the form of the nomadic [[Road Ranger]]. He then interrogated Spay-C and became furious when the new arrival mentioned [[Earth]]. That night, he was visited by [[Eno]], the Dark Angel, who gave him a vision of the [[Lazer Lance]], a weapon that could defeat Zod which was buried on Gobotron. The visitation led him to reverse his plans to dematerialize Spay-C, believing his arrival to have been a good omen. However, Cy-Kill led the Renegades against the Command Center, having trained Zod to follow him. Leader-1 ordered the Command Center to take off, with the Renegades' [[Thruster]] in pursuit. Along with [[Heat Seeker (GoBots)\|Heat Seeker]], [[Royal-T]], [[Path Finder]] and Spay-C, he fought off the Renegades while [[Tic Toc]] calculated a jump to hyperspeed getting back on-board just before the Command Center made the jump and headed towards the center of Gobotron—which was, in fact, Earth. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 3\|Go-Bots #3}}

			There, he received another vision, this time from the Go-Bot god [[Courageous]], urging him to find the Lazer Lance. He made an uneasy alliance with Turbo and the brain-damaged Scooter to locate the weapon, and the journey bought them into contact with the [[Go-Lems]] and Braxis's army of [[Vamp]]s. Ultimately, they found both the Lazer Lance and Courageous, which split into armor suits for the Go-Bots. However, when Leader-1 prepared to confront Zod. the Lazer Lance was snatched off him and broken in half by Cy-Kill. The intervention of the Go-Lems dropped Zod and Cy-Kill into a canyon, which Cop-Tur took as a signal to challenge Leader-1 to single combat. Leader-1 battered him before gathering up the halves of the Lazer Lance to see if Zod could still be destroyed. He led a small team including Turbo, Scooter, Spay-C and [[Screw Head]]; together they were finally able to destroy Zod. Leader-1 was injured in the process, and while they had been fighting Zod, Cy-Kill had taken control of the Command Center. He used it to fire on the Guardians, riddling Leader-1 with bullets. The dying Go-Bot was then visited again by Eno and a vision of Nick as he died and was buried in Courageous' torso section. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 4\|Go-Bots #4}}

			After his death, Major Domo disclosed many of his secrets to Turbo and Road Ranger, who took command of the Go-Bots and finally decided to free Earth from GoBotron. Road Ranger and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)\|Bug Bite]] later recovered his remains, complete with the skeleton of Nick, planning to merge them with what was left of Cy-Kill to create [[Starscream (G1)\|a new, better Go-Bot]]. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 5\|Go-Bots #5}}

Afterwards they travelled to the Go-Bot [[Command Center (GoBots)\|Command Center]] at the [[Pentagon]], where they were briefed about the growing activities of a group of [[Renegade]] Go-Bots in the desert near [[Route 66]]. On investigation, Leader-1 picked up a caravan of the Renegades but was jumped by [[Cop-Tur (GoBots)\|Cop-Tur]] as they went in to attack. Leader-1 knocked the Renegade out with a missile and then began strafing [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)\|Cy-Kill]], who slipped into a canyon. The pair converted to robot mode and engaged in combat, during which Nick was injured. Cy-Kill then criticized Leader-1 for being a mere tool of the humans, who he felt were unworthy of commanding the superior Go-Bots. Leader-1 listened but ultimately disagreed. However, he had been surrounded by the other Renegades and [[Tank (GoBots)\|Tank]] was able to take Leader-1's military knowledge—including nuclear codes. The battered Leader-1 was captured as the Renegades set off to conquer Earth, with Cy-Kill inspiring a huge Go-Bot uprising. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 1\|Go-Bots #1}}

			While Cy-Kill's Renegades began their initial assaults he ordered [[Pocket]] and [[Crossword]] to crush Leader-1 at a scrapyard. However, he recovered midway through his execution, escaping and crushing the pair of Renegades instead, despite their pleas for mercy. He then joined the USAF fighters against the Renegades, engaging [[Fitor (GoBots)\|Fitor]] in battle. Leader-1 then became a rallying point for the GoBots still loyal to humanity. He then fought Cy-Kill one-on-one again, though his motivation had already shifted to becoming King of the Go-Bots. During the vicious fight, he was shot down, had his face mask knocked off and half of his head stripped away by his opponent's bladed wheels but ultimately triumphed by riding Cy-Kill into a wall. Both groups of Go-Bots urged him for guidance. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 2\|Go-Bots #2}}

			Leader-1 eventually set himself up as a monarch on board the Command Center. More concerned with his own standing, he appeared to have made little attempt to protect the [[human]]s as they became primitive and [[Gobotron]] was built, even forcing [[Scooter (GoBots)\|Scooter]] to murder the human freedom fighter [[A.J. Foster]] when she began to oppose his plans, leading [[Turbo (GoBots)\|Turbo]] to leave his service before the same could be done to him. Leader-1's regime was held in place in a brutal fashion, with his subjects put through reprogramming and even dematerialization to keep his troops docile. He became mainly concerned with his struggles with Cy-Kill and the threat of [[Zod]]. Many, many years passed until the human crew of [[Spay-C]] encountered Leader-1, whose Go-Bots helped save them from Zod, only to then throw them in the Command Center's brig. With [[Major Mo\|Major Domo]] as his advisor, he reacted angrily when emissaries of the [[Trade Federation]] complained that Zod still had not been defeated, and mentioned that Leader-1 might have a rival to his crown in the form of the nomadic [[Road Ranger]]. He then interrogated Spay-C and became furious when the new arrival mentioned [[Earth]]. That night, he was visited by [[Eno]], the Dark Angel, who gave him a vision of the [[Lazer Lance]], a weapon that could defeat Zod which was buried on Gobotron. The visitation led him to reverse his plans to dematerialize Spay-C, believing his arrival to have been a good omen. However, Cy-Kill led the Renegades against the Command Center, having trained Zod to follow him. Leader-1 ordered the Command Center to take off, with the Renegades' [[Thruster]] in pursuit. Along with [[Heat Seeker (GoBots)\|Heat Seeker]], [[Royal-T]], [[Path Finder]] and Spay-C, he fought off the Renegades while [[Tic Toc]] calculated a jump to hyperspeed getting back on-board just before the Command Center made the jump and headed towards the center of Gobotron—which was, in fact, Earth. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 3\|Go-Bots #3}}

			There, he received another vision, this time from the Go-Bot god [[Courageous]], urging him to find the Lazer Lance. He made an uneasy alliance with Turbo and the brain-damaged Scooter to locate the weapon, and the journey bought them into contact with the [[Go-Lems]] and Braxis's army of [[Vamp]]s. Ultimately, they found both the Lazer Lance and Courageous, which split into armor suits for the Go-Bots. However, when Leader-1 prepared to confront Zod. the Lazer Lance was snatched off him and broken in half by Cy-Kill. The intervention of the Go-Lems dropped Zod and Cy-Kill into a canyon, which Cop-Tur took as a signal to challenge Leader-1 to single combat. Leader-1 battered him before gathering up the halves of the Lazer Lance to see if Zod could still be destroyed. He led a small team including Turbo, Scooter, Spay-C and [[Screw Head]]; together they were finally able to destroy Zod. Leader-1 was injured in the process, and while they had been fighting Zod, Cy-Kill had taken control of the Command Center. He used it to fire on the Guardians, riddling Leader-1 with bullets. The dying Go-Bot was then visited again by Eno and a vision of Nick as he died and was buried in Courageous' torso section. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 4\|Go-Bots #4}}

			After his death, Major Domo disclosed many of his secrets to Turbo and Road Ranger, who took command of the Go-Bots and finally decided to free Earth from GoBotron. Road Ranger and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)\|Bug Bite]] later recovered his remains, complete with the skeleton of Nick, planning to merge them with what was left of Cy-Kill to create [[Starscream (G1)\|a new, better Go-Bot]]. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 5\|Go-Bots #5}}

	During Cy-Kill's extended absence, during which he was scheming in [[Axiom Nexus]], Leader-1 pressed his advantage. Renegade operations all over the galaxy were rolled up. During what was to be the final assault on ''[[Rogue Star]]'', Cy-Kill returned with nearly a dozen new troops, turning the tide of battle. Though injured, Leader-1 was able to cover the Guardian withdrawal and trick Cy-Kill into disabling his own most powerful weapon, [[Monsterous]]. {{storylink\|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric\|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2015/11/10}}		During Cy-Kill's extended absence, during which he was scheming in [[Axiom Nexus]], Leader-1 pressed his advantage.
