Fiction
Animated continuity
After seeing Optimus Prime save them from an incident on the asteroid they were working on, Bumblebee commented that with moves like that, Prime should have gone into the Cybertron Elite Guard. Gee, way to rub salt in the wound, there, Bumblebee... Transform and Roll Out!
Shortly after the battle with Megatron, the Elite Guard arrived to retrieve the AllSpark. (Great timing, guys.) Upon learning that the AllSpark had been dispersed, Ultra Magnus confined Optimus Prime's crew to the Elite Guard's ship while he, Sentinel Prime, and Optimus Prime went to investigate Optimus' vessel, where the battle had taken place. When trouble at a Sumdac Systems manufacturing plant was detected, the Autobots and Elite Guard managed to hold off the malfunctioning police drones being made there long enough to allow Optimus, Prowl, and Jazz to get Sari Sumdac to the assembly line and shut it down. The Elite Guard
After an extended period with no evidence of a Decepticon presence on Earth, Magnus was prepared to gather up the Autobots and ship out back to Cybertron. He urged Optimus to testify as to his experiences on Earth to calm the general fears of Megatron still being alive. When he protested that Megatron was still alive and that he'd be falsifying evidence, Sentinel angrily stated that nobody was asking him to lie, just to agree with his (in his humble opinion quite excellent) scans showing there were no Decepticons on earth. Besides, Sentinel cajoled, if he smoothed things over with Cybertron Command Optimus might just be able to be reinstated into the Elite Guard. Mission Accomplished
