As the war engulfed the entire planet, the Decepticons lead a push against Iacon itself. During a meeting of the Council of Autobot Elders, Tomaandi declared that the Autobots were beaten -- but Xaaron called him a fool and claimed that it was council control of the armies that was stifling the war efforts. Xaaron petitioned High Councillor Traachon to use his veto and give control of the armies to Optimus Prime. He did. And There Shall Come...a Leader!
Thousands of years later, facing bombardment, by the Decepticon Trannis, the Council decided to surrender. Trannis executed them all for their trouble. Cybertron: The Middle Years!
Trivia
A robot looking an enormous amount like Tomaandi appears as a leading member of the Autobot High Council (possibly council leader, Optimus Prime calls him 'sire') in the first issue of Transformers. Despite having nearly exactly the same character model (and pose) he has a radically different colour scheme to Tomaandi. The reason for the similarity is that artist John Stokes lifted designs, compositions, and panel layouts wholesale from Frank Springer's art in the first few issues of Transformers to create And There Shall Come... A Leader.
So it could be that this robot is Tomaandi -- or it could just be plagiarism. You decide.
