Dropshot (Armada)

Dropshot is an Autobot stationed on Cybertron with Jetfire in Dreamwave's Armada comic. He accompanies him to the Decepticon HQ to investigate a space bridge anamoly above Cybertron, but is subsequently destroyed by Bludgeon. As he is both introduced and slain in the same issue, it can be inferred that he was created by Simon Furman for the sole purpose of being cannon fodder.
