Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Neutro was one of the legions of Dead Universe Micromasters who pursued Hardhead and Nightbeat on Gorlam Prime. He survived to pursue the Autobots into the planet's subterranean caverns, and helped the Jhiaxus-possessed Nightbeat dig out after Hardhead triggered a cave-in. Spotlight: Hardhead

Regeneration One

Neutro was part of a team along with Groundpounder, Takedown, Crumble, and Erector, under the command of Quickmix, that constructed the Nebulan end of the space bridge network in the Clar Macro-jungle. As the freshly-woken Fortress Maximus fell under the influence of the Dark Matrix creature and took control of the space bridge network shortly afterwards, Neutro and his team probably perished.
