Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Not long after Caminus had joined the Council of Worlds, Swift, Aileron, and Sterling were on Cybertron, handing out religious pamphlets about Optimus Prime in the Decepticon ghetto. This prompted a mixed reaction from passerby Decepticons: Acid Storm looked at their materials out of curiosity, Sparkstalker defended the rights of the Camiens to do what they wanted as the Camiens treated Decepticons fairly, but Needlenose and Brawl decried anyone who followed a Prime. The Transgressors
Sterling and Aileron faced further troubles when the Dinobot Slug got in their faces for preaching about a Prime. Aileron stood up to Slug on Sterling's behalf, but he was downtrodden about the whole exercise, and left for the day. Aphelion Redemption
When next he saw his Amicus, Aileron was in the presence of the Prime himself. Sterling and Aileron stood by the side of Optimus Prime as he took the space bridge to Earth, annexing that world in order to prevent Decepticon conquest. Perihelion
 Plot details for All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth follow. |
As he looked on in awe at Optimus's leading the charge against the Decepticons, things took a worse for Sterling when the People's Liberation Army Mecha Force began attacking the Decepticons. Unlike Aileron, Sterling could not muster one iota of sympathy for them, but he suffered their fate all the same when the Chinese government used satellites to bombard the gathered Cybertronians with heat rays. Sterling barely had time to comprehend what was happening before being blown apart. Once Upon a Time on Earth
Notes
- Sterling's colors are based on Solardyn of the Commandrons.
