Fiction
Beast Wars: Uprising
An Autobot during the Great War, Strongarm was eventually hardwired into Iacon headquarters of the Maximal Command Security Force following the end of the conflict, becoming the immobile nerve center of the building.
When another Builder named Twirl was murdered in the streets of Iacon, the MSCF investigated. However, despite the fact such cases attracted Builder attention, Strongarm didn't contact police chief Aura immediately. When she did, the building was bombed, taking out some of Strongarm's neural clusters, making her scream in Aura's head before the shock knocked her out.
A few cycles later, Wolfang bluffed "Venus" by claiming he had a direct line to Strongarm ready to go. Trigger Warnings
