	Originally, '''Magnum''' never wanted to be in a leadership position, but his years in the [[Autobot Military Academy]] installed a need within him to prove himself capable. He's demonstrated his leadership skills time and time again, even (and especially) when leadership meant leading by example.

	Fifteen years after the war's beginning, Magnum contacted Thunder Clash with information on his team's next mission. After [[Metalhawk (~~Masterforce~~)\|Metalhawk]]'s team escorted Thunder Clash's team to [[Space Port Bravo]], the former group returned to [[Elite Guard Headquarters]] for briefing. Magnum and Sentinel Major met them on the landing pad, where Magnum praised Metalhawk's team for their excellence despite their relative newness.

	Following the deaths of most of the Elite Guard at the hands of [[Bruticus (G1)\|Bruticus]], the giant which [[Deathsaurus (~~Victory~~)\|Deathsaurus]] had turned the Combaticons into, Magnum gathered the remaining guardsmen at the [[Autobot High Council Citadel]]. His intention was to show the [[Autobot High Council]] that the Elite Guard was still their primary line of defense, but instead he found that the Council was appointing [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]] the leader of a new military. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 1}} Undaunted, he got permission from sympathetic council members to take the remaining guard on a mission to find and eliminate Deathsaurus.

	They began their search for Deathsaurus's base, but instead found [[Side Burn (RID)\|Side Burn]], who claimed to already know the location of their target.

Magnum realized that Deathsaurus had surely been warned in advance of the Elite Guard's approach by his many spies, but rallied his men to fight back. When Deathsaurus himself made an appearance, Magnum assaulted him for his mind warping of the Combaticons. Deathsaurus claimed that he had done nothing to the Combaticons' minds, and his suggestion that Magnum might also be tempted to become a Decepticon only served to make Magnum angrier. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 3}}		They began their search for Deathsaurus's base, but instead found [[Side Burn (RID)\|Side Burn]], who claimed to already know the location of their target.

	As the pair fought, Magnum finally got tired of Deathsaurus's baiting and gave him a good blast to the chest.

He couldn't tell them much before the group was attacked by Deathsaurus's troops. Magnum realized that Deathsaurus had surely been warned in advance of the Elite Guard's approach by his many spies, but rallied his men to fight back. When Deathsaurus himself made an appearance, Magnum assaulted him for his mind warping of the Combaticons. Deathsaurus claimed that he had done nothing to the Combaticons' minds, and his suggestion that Magnum might also be tempted to become a Decepticon only served to make Magnum angrier. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 3}}		They began their search for Deathsaurus's base, but instead found [[Side Burn (RID)\|Side Burn]], who claimed to already know the location of their target.

	Originally, '''Magnum''' never wanted to be in a leadership position, but his years in the [[Autobot Military Academy]] installed a need within him to prove himself capable. He's demonstrated his leadership skills time and time again, even (and especially) when leadership meant leading by example.

Now that he's moved up the ranks to the [[Autobot High Council]], the only part of his job that he truly resents is the political deadlock that keeps him from being as quick to act as he'd prefer. He believes his [[Cybertron Elite Guard]], given true autonomy, is the best answer to the rise in Decepticon activity, rather than Council member [[Alpha Trion (G1)\|Alpha Trion]]'s mostly symbolic (he feels) "[[Prime (rank)\|Prime]]" initiative.

	Despite being a capable warrior, Magnum is seen mostly behind his desk. Due to his frustration with politics, he delegates most of his duties to [[Sentinel Major]], and occasionally retaliates against the political machine by giving surprisingly impulsive orders.

	Long ago, in the opening stages of the Cybertronian civil war, Magnum and the rest of Autobot High Command were keeping an eye on a handful of unorganized rogues called the [[Decepticon]]s. But when they suddenly found themselves a [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|leader]], everything changed. Magnum feared that things had already begun to escalate into war. Things got even worse when the ''[[Van De Graaff]]'' was shot down over [[Beta-Nine]], putting its [[Matrix of Leadership\|precious cargo]] at risk. Fearing the Decepticons had done the deed and may soon recover the cargo, Magnum contacted the Autobot ship closest to Beta-Nine, the ''[[Eight Track (G1)\|Eight Track]]''.

He couldn't tell them much before the group was attacked by Deathsaurus's troops. Magnum realized that Deathsaurus had surely been warned in advance of the Elite Guard's approach by his many spies, but rallied his men to fight back. When Deathsaurus himself made an appearance, Magnum assaulted him for his mind warping of the Combaticons. Deathsaurus claimed that he had done nothing to the Combaticons' minds, and his suggestion that Magnum might also be tempted to become a Decepticon only served to make Magnum angrier. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 3}}		They began their search for Deathsaurus's base, but instead found [[Side Burn (RID)\|Side Burn]], who claimed to already know the location of their target.

	As the pair fought, Magnum finally got tired of Deathsaurus's baiting and gave him a good blast to the chest. Unfortunately for Magnum, this just resulted in an enraged [[Lyzack (Victory)\|Lyzack]] laying into him with her sword, slicing the end off his gun and smashing his chest windscreen.

	Magnum led the Autobots valiantly against overwhelming odds. When Dion's suggestion to aim at Devastator's knees resulted in the titan falling, Magnum commended his excellent strategy, and said that some day he would be a "great Magnum." Even with Devastator down, the Autobots still had Megatron to deal with. Though Optimus Prime reminded Megatron that he had not one, but two Autobot leaders to contend with, the Decepticon leader made sure to rectify that. With a blast of his fusion cannon, he destroyed Magnum and would have also destroyed Optimus Prime if Dion hadn't taken the shot meant for him.

	Though both Magnum and Dion fell, the Autobots were ultimately victorious.
