He was one of the "empties", and couldn't afford energon, seriously affecting his memory.
He appeared in the "Cybertron" issues, where Cosmos and Blaster gave him energon to try to find out some info about Blaster's mssing friend.
P.s. This probably takes place after G1, either before or after G2. Most likely before G2, as Straxus cameoed in G2 where Jhiaxus was recounting how the G2 'Cons deserted Cybertron.

Nope it had to have taken place during the G1 comics. Because Jhiaxus was flashing back when the told that story. And Jhiaxus and his crew of Cybertronians left Cybertron during the Civil War and distanced themselves from the factions outright ignoring them.
The other references to the G1 comics are Shockwave just vanishing. He's refering to how Shockwave tracked the Ark to Earth and fought the Dinobots in the Savage Land on Pre-Historic Earth. And finally the orbital bounce. That's what they've been calling teleporting and such in the newer IDW comic books. Straxus was the pioneer of the Space Bridge technology in the comics.
So it takes place during the time that the Autobots and Decepticons were on Earth without contact to Cybertron. It could be anypoint between Prehistoric Earth and 1983 though.

Good point.
