The Visitor reaches the outskirts of the town of [[Fembrance]] just as the town doctor, along with one of the local transporters, [[Shib Walkis]], arrive with a cart-full of wounded miners that had been hurt in a recent mining accident. As the townsfolk celebrate the successful endeavor, one of them shouts in fear, pointing at the approaching Cybertronian in the close distance.
The Visitor eventually made his way to the town of [[Fembrance]], his arrival startling the barely steam-age natives. As he impassively scanned the area, one of the local carts revealed itself to be another Cybertronian, [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]].


As the Visitor steps foot into town, he takes in his surroundings, scanning the strange people and vehicles before him. Then suddenly, the cart that mere moments earlier had carried the miners, creaks and bolts forward all by itself as the draft animals flee. It stops just before the Visitor and changes form to reveal an old, weathered Transformer: [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]]!
Shocked to see one of his kin, the Visitor asked Rodimus to identify himself only to be attacked. The Visitor managed to throw off his attacker, though he quickly began begging his kinsman to wake up, asking for his name and thanking him for finding a new home for their kind. Enraged at the words, Rodimus flipped the Visitor, declaring Donnokt was not for them, and began beating the Visitor to death despite his please for mercy. After a grim warning that the Visitor could not be here, Rodimus tore the unfortunate Cybertronian's head off, declaring that he had no kin.


Chocked, the Visitor can't believe his eyes but Rodimus seems far less enthused by this new arrival, and coldly tells him to die before he begins pummeling him with heavy blows. As a panic-indused response, the Visitor shoves Rodimus away, sending him crashing through the sign that makes up the town entrance, inadvertently knocking the aged Autobot out for a moment. Remorseful, the Visitor begs forgiveness, pleading with Rodimus to wake up, asks him his name, and thanks him for finding a new home for "their kind". As Rodimus regains his senses, he simply utters that this planet isn't for them, before attacking the Visitor once more, severely beating him all while the Visitor pleads that he's hungry and weak. He begs for his life, but Rodimus turns a deaf ear, and tears the poor, weak Transformer's head from his body.

The Visitor is a Transformer from an unspecified portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Look at him! He's just a little guy! I hope nothing bad happens to him.

The Visitor is a Transformer, and aptly enough also a visitor to the planet of Donnokt, located somewhere at the end of time and space. Little is known about the poor guy, apart from the fact that he's looking for his kin and a new home. From a distance he also sports a rather familiar silhouette.

Oh sweet god! Look what they've done to my boy!

In the far future, long after the end of the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Visitor's space pod crash landed the planet Donnokt. Leaking a green liquid, the Visitor stumbled out of the pod and made his way across the planet's deserts.

The Visitor eventually made his way to the town of Fembrance, his arrival startling the barely steam-age natives. As he impassively scanned the area, one of the local carts revealed itself to be another Cybertronian, Rodimus.

Shocked to see one of his kin, the Visitor asked Rodimus to identify himself only to be attacked. The Visitor managed to throw off his attacker, though he quickly began begging his kinsman to wake up, asking for his name and thanking him for finding a new home for their kind. Enraged at the words, Rodimus flipped the Visitor, declaring Donnokt was not for them, and began beating the Visitor to death despite his please for mercy. After a grim warning that the Visitor could not be here, Rodimus tore the unfortunate Cybertronian's head off, declaring that he had no kin.

After inspecting the leaking remains, Rodimus took his leave, telling the people of Fembrance not to follow him, tossing the Visitor's severed head over his shoulder. Last Bot Standing #1

Notes

  • In the notes to the character sheet found at the end of Last Bot Standing #1, writer Nick Roche made it clear that the Visitor "[had] to have a Rodimus' silhuette".
