IDW Generation 1 continuity

Sherma gathered with the rest of the 113th Cybertronian Senate at the Grand Imperium to discuss introducing a Clampdown on the rest of society when the meeting was interrupted by Rodion police captain Orion Pax, who had uncovered Senate-sponsored corruption within his own organisation. Sherma listened along with the others as Pax quoted Megatron's three questions before he was thrown out. Chaos Theory #2

Later, Sherma was murdered. His corpse, found suspended from the Interstate Bridge, had a familiar insignia graffitied on its back. Prowl ordered a full autopsy. Bits of cerulean glass found in the Senator's boots led Prowl and his mechaforensics partner Tumbler to Translucentica Heights, and to another murdered Senator. Post Hoc

Eventually, the bridge from which his body hung was renamed Sherma Bridge, though whether it was in his honor or due to the infamy of his murder is unknown.
