Fiction
Beast Wars: Uprising
A member of the ruling Optimus triumvirate on the colony world of Rebirth, Diac and his compatriots Apex and Hi-Q happily reaped the fruits of the vast and crumbling oligarchy that spanned their planet. Any attempts to speak out against their authority were swiftly dealt with; when an increasingly vocal faction made their displeasure known, the Optimus branded their political rivals the "Malignus" and drove them underground. It was all sunshine and roses for the Optimus... until a guy named Galvatron came knocking, bringing the Decepticons along with him and finding a ready-made group of angry rebels just itching to overthrow their oppressors.
Now a "Triple-Threat Master", the quartet of Galvatron, Nucleon, Clench, and Doomshot stormed Rebirth's capital of Astrotopia and had Diac and the other two members of the Optimus imprisoned. When the Autobots showed up, they teamed up with the loyalist Cyberdroids and sprang the trio of deposed leaders. The three found themselves binary-bonded to Optimus Prime, Derailment forming "Triple-Threat Prime". Ultimately, the Autobots couldn't take back the planet from Decepticon clutches, and retreated after Fortress Maximus fell to MegaZarak. A Brush With Infamy Unfortunately for Diac, he didn't see the end of the war. He was crushed by Galvatron, and replaced by Apex. Derailment
During the Vehicon Apocalypse, Galvatron merrily recalled crushing Optimus's head, though he was peeved when Krunix corrected his recollection and told him he'd killed Diac, not Apex. Derailment
