Fiction
Find Your Fate... Junior
Desert Flight Hook created Replica Cosmos when the Autobot was captured snooping around their anti-gravity base, and sent Replica Cosmos on a suicide rendezvous, to explode once he got near Optimus Prime.
However, the real Cosmos escaped, and caught up to Replica Cosmos just before he could strike. Replica Cosmos was destroyed by Optimus Prime, despite his valient attempts to convince the Autobot leader he was the real thing, and to shoot the other one.
Since Desert Flight was a multipath adventure, there of course existed one outcome where Optimus Prime destroyed the wrong Cosmos. Replica Cosmos didn't live much longer however, he was vaporized when he triggered his bomb, taking Optimus Prime, Smokescreen, Beachcomber, Powerglide, Wheeljack and Windcharger with him.
