Momus is a Senator and a Decepticon sympathizer. That's why he was murdered!

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Momus was a member of the corrupt Cybertronian Senate who lived in Translucentica Heights. Unlike most other senators, he spent time around poor people: Transformers with working-class alternate modes, who were invited round his flat for parties. This made the Heights security guard, Red Alert, suspicious that Momus was a secret Decepticon. And he was! Shine an ultraviolet light around Momus' place, you'd see the Decepticon insignia.

The Senate were aware he was a Decepticon and shortly after the death of Nominus Prime, Momus became the second senator (after fellow Decepticon Sherma) to be assassinated. Mechaforensics investigators Prowl and Chromedome were set up to found trace amounts of Cerulean Glass, which could only be found at Translucentica Heights, on Sherma's corpse, and his headless body was thrown from a window at them as they arrived. A Decepticon insignia was graffitied on poor Momus. His killers were themselves both killed, but the Senate still won: since Momus and Sherma were clearly killed for being Decepticons and Senator Proteus had ensured the real killers were found, Proteus must be trustworthy!

Notes

• In Greek mythology, Momus was the personification of satire and mockery. Writer James Roberts is most likely a fan of the singer Momus who named himself after the Greek god.
