Transformers: Last Bot Standing is a comic book from IDW Publishing released in May 2022. The series is written by fan-favorite writer Nick Roche (The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers) and artist E.J. Sui (Transformers: Infiltration).The fight on Cybertron has long since ended, yet the war between the Autobots and Decepticons is never-ending. Its legacy lingers at the edges of the universe and at the end of time. So when a Transformer from the long-dead civilization pays a visit to the planet Donnokt, just on the verge of an industrial revolution, things will never be the same.So now...the last remaining Cybertronian, stalked by the sins of their entire race, must save the world one final time.With IDW Publishing losing the Transformers license at the end of 2022, they decided that if they're saying goodbye to the Transformers, they're going out with a bang.IDW shows us a hypothetical last story for the Transformers set in the far-flung future, asking, "When the last stars flicker and fade, who will be the only Cybertronian left?"

Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: All Steeljaw , Wheelie and the Survivors want is for Cybertronians to survive, after all the hardship they've suffered. Given that this involves turning the natives of Donnokt into glorified livestock for biofuel and upon discovering the last Energon deposits, extract as much as they can at the expense of everything on the planet, it's a lot less admirable than it sounds.

Post-Peak Oil
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_1b45acae
comment
Post-Peak Oil: More like Post-Peak Energon, but the spirit of the trope is still there. Energon, the fuel that Cybertronians need to survive, is gone, forcing the remaining Cybertronians to use alternative energy called "Biofuel." What's Biofuel? It's energy from converted organic material; any organic material, that includes the people of Donnokt. The revelation that the planet also contains the last known Energon deposits drives the Survivors into a near-frenzy.

Cruel and Unusual Death: Any Donnokt natives who get turned into biofuel. Gripper fell off a cliff while driving… but didn't die right away and because Rodimus and company didn't have any supplies, resources, medical equipment, or even weaponry to Mercy Kill him with, they just had to watch as he slowly expired in agony. It's enough to drive Strongarm into a breakdown.

Chekhov's Gun: Shib's key-shaped necklaces filled with blue liquid. They're actually makeshift cyber-keys filled with some of the last true Energon in existence, and she later plugs it into Rodimus to rejuvenate him enough to fight the Survivors properly. The steam-powered cars that have popped up in Fembrance. They're powered by raw Energon mined from the nearby hills, which Rodimus eventually uses as makeshift explosives against the Survivors.

Suddenly Significant City: Fembrance would otherwise be just another frontier town if not for the "Fizzbang" being mined in the nearby hills, putting it at the forefront of Donnokt's nascent industrial revolution. Which is what Rodimus is deeply concerned about, given that said "Fizzbang" is also known as Energon.

Mythology Gag
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: While the comic is deliberately designed to be slotted into any continuity one wishes, Rodimus's design and characterization clearly take influence from his portrayal in the original IDW continuity, such as the fact that he calls himself Rodimus but evidently isn't a Prime (at least not anymore). Meanwhile, the basic idea of an aged and withered Rodimus alone in a future era where he has outlived his contemporaries is inspired by the Marvel UK comics, specifically the Flash Forward story Aspects of Evil. The two animals who pull Shib's "wagon" are named "Sparks" and "Firebolt": Firebolt was the name of Hot Rod's Targetmaster partner, and "Sparks" was the name Firebolt occasionally went by in the Marvel comic. As she leaves to rescue the miners, Shib alludes, unknowingly, to Optimus Prime's famous battle-cry; "roll out". One of Simon Furman's Furmanisms fittingly shows up in the beginning and ending narration of the first issue, but not as expected. "It always starts the same way" can be seen as an inverse of his old chestnut, "It never ends." The narrations can also hint at the running custom of Transformers stories beginning with the Cybertronians falling from space and crashing on Earth, such as the original G1 cartoon, Beast Wars, and even the live-action movies. During Rodimus' flashback in Issue #1, he's chased by ships based on the Nemesis and the Darksyde. When Rodimus questions if the Survivors remember any legendary Transformers like Optimus or Grimlock, they answer no. They do immediately remember Thunderclash however when Rodimus inquires about him. An old Running Gag from Transformers: More than Meets the Eye where Rodimus had a one-sided rivalry with Thunderclash. Wheelie is referred to in reverent terms as "the Veteran". This, and his general role in the story, calls to mind how Swoop was portrayed in old Beast Wars media as one of the last surviving Autobots, revered by the Maximals. Shib's necklaces full of blue liquid are revealed towards the end to actually be makeshift cyber-keys, which are also slotted into Rodimus' chest in the same way Sari would in Transformers: Animated. When Sheriff Errod is investigating Shib's and her brothers' house, he states to the boys there's "more than meets the eye" to the family's history. When Rodimus destroys the Visitors' makeshift biofuel stations Wheelie loses it and attacks Rodimus, giving a morbid and mangled take on Optimus Prime's slogan

comment
The Stars Are Going Out: In issue 2 Rodimus is shaken to discover most of the stars he remembered have vanished and others have changed. Rodimus heavily implies the reason they're going out is because of the energy-draining nature of the Autobot and Decepticon war. Shib mentions how the people of Donnokt saw them flicker out, one by one, as each star died and its last light reached the planet.

The Fog of Ages
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_38b2491d
comment
The Fog of Ages: All the Cybertronian characters have scattered memories of the war due to their advanced ages, deleting information to make space and conserve energy. The Survivors only remember in very vague terms.note They don't even know who Optimus Prime is. This is actually a concept that was introduced in IDW's previous 2005 continuity, called "information creep". Rodimus is a notable exception, however, for still being able to remember a decent patchwork, though this is justified by him having been in what amounts to standby mode for a long time Wheelie, meanwhile, has as good a memory as Rodimus, though given he's just a head on life support, there's less energy to expend.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: The Transformers go extinct, and they stay that way. However, Rodimus defeats the last of the Decepticons and uses his knowledge to help Fembrance's people use the Energon vein for good, allowing the town to thrive. After some time, he takes the remaining Cybertronian tech, the surviving stasis-locked Visitors, and leaves Donnokt in a starship on a one-way trip into the planet's orbit. By doing this, Rodimus will ensure the Transformers' destructive legacy will end, as he's content to guard Donnokt in case other Cybertronians arrive until he finally goes into stasis lock and dies. The story ends with Shib looking up at the night sky, with the light from Rodimus' starship becoming the first star in a long time.

Shut Up, Hannibal!: In response to the points raised by Steeljaw and Wheelie about the need to save the Cybertronians from extinction, and that Rodimus has no right to judge, he retorts that he’s heard it all before, and that their justifications are nothing more than self-serving excuses. Given that the Survivors are trying to turn Donnokt's natives into more biofuel, and eventually plan on using the Energon to repeat the same mistakes, Rodimus also considers such an outcome a complete betrayal of what the Autobots hoped the Transformers race to embody.

comment
All of the Other Reindeer: Shib's family, though fairly well-respected, is reclusive and lives apart from the rest of Fembrance, a reputation that it's had for many generations. It's the price paid by Shib's ancestors in order to keep their promise to Rodimus, trusting no one but their own direct descendants to continue the tradition.

comment
Crazy-Prepared: Realizing that there may still be other Cybertronians out there who might find Donnokt and discover its Energon potential, Rodimus devises a contingency plan by entrusting Shib's ancestors with the makeshift cyber-keys, only to be used should that possibility ever arise. Given that the Survivors eventually do discover the planet, that plan turns out to have been well-founded.

Job-Stealing Robot: More like Job-Stealing Motorized Vehicles, but the idea is the same. Shib and her family find their delivery business hitting hard times thanks to the industrial revolution Donnokt is going through and Shib's fear of modernizing allowing steam-powered vehicles to outcompete their simple wagon (i.e., Rodimus in dormant vehicle mode).

Motive Decay

comment
Motive Decay: Eventually, as the war between the Autobots and Decepticons petered out, many of the remaining Cybertronians focused on simply surviving and with the apparently complete depletion of Energon in the known galaxy, are extracting whatever fuel they can just to keep going. Rodimus realizes that this alone would make the Survivors a threat to Donnokt, no matter how pitiful they have become. This is further exemplified in the corrupted mantra Wheelie invokes: Even the classic Autobot belief that Cybertronians must change their ways to adapt is warped to justify the Survivors' efforts to preserve the Transformer race. With Steeljaw going so far as to proudly call farming the natives of Donnokt into sustainable biofuel exemplary of their ability to change.

Sadly the fact that Steeljaw is willing to murder innocent beings and turn them into fuel in order to preserve the Cybertronian race means he has no real moral high ground.

Internal Deconstruction: The Transformers are Mechanical Abominations trapped in a cycle of endless death and rebirth, grinding entire solar systems into dust to feed their eternal conflict until factions lose all distinction or meaning and there is nothing left to fight over or repair themselves with, damning themselves to a slow slide into extinction as their robotic bodies break down and run out of power. As they enter the final death throes of their civilization, the survivors become predatory, barely-functional raiders preying on "lesser" races, except for Rodimus Prime himself, who maintains his morality and defends said races, even if it means slaughtering his own kin.

Once night time comes, they have another go at, which Rodimus plays along with.

comment
Deconstructed Trope: Of the Forever War trope. This story shows the reader what would happen if the fight between the Autobots, Decepticons, and even the Maximals and Predacons never stopped. The Transformers are stuck in a cycle of death and rebirth as they fight each other, draining planets and stars for their resources to fuel their neverending war, leaving countless civilizations and races dead and gone. Almost all stars in space have gone out, along with any other planet caught in the war. The surviving Cybertronians don't want to fight anymore and resort to converting whatever is suitable for energy as Energon is long since gone. Of the Time Abyss trope. While the Transformer race is theoretically immortal, as they've been fighting for millions of years, the resources that the Cybertronians use to keep them that way are finite. When the Transformers ran out of resources to fight over and spare parts to repair themselves, they died off until Rodimus became the last Cybetronian left... or so he thought.

Apocalypse How: Class X-3. The Great War was one for most of the known galaxy it seems, with most of the resources of the known universe depleted by the conflict, countless planets (including Earth) destroyed, and many indigenous species most likely brought to extinction. Eventually, the war abruptly ended when the Transformer race couldn't afford to keep fighting because they didn't have the materials left to bring them back from death. By the time of the story, only a handful of stars are left compared to the millions that should be there, and even those are starting to die out.

Villainous Breakdown
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_957e5fc2
comment
Villainous Breakdown: Wheelie loses his mind with panic and rage after the repowered Rodimus starts taking apart the Survivors and destroying their biofuel production machine, to the point that he briefly slips out of his signature manner of speech. As Steeljaw's plans go awry, he drops whatever pretensions of viewing all Cybertronians as one family he has and reveals his true colors by spitefully reverting to what he's always been: a Decepticon.

Never My Fault
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_973d220f
comment
Never My Fault: The Survivors constantly frame themselves as simply victims of circumstance, never considering the costs or the lives they've taken. Even when threatening to blow up Donnokt's Energon deposits, Steeljaw puts the blame on Rodimus for dooming not only the Cybertronian species, but the entire world.

"Not So Different" Remark: Rodimus chastizes the Survivors, and especially Wheelie as being no different from the old Decepticons in their desperation to keep themselves alive.

Time Abyss
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_98a63dc6
comment
Of the Time Abyss trope. While the Transformer race is theoretically immortal, as they've been fighting for millions of years, the resources that the Cybertronians use to keep them that way are finite. When the Transformers ran out of resources to fight over and spare parts to repair themselves, they died off until Rodimus became the last Cybetronian left... or so he thought.

Taking the Bullet: Wildwheel attempts to kill Shib by throwing a girder at her, but only for Moon (who quickly had a change of heart) dives in front of Shib and winds up with the projectile fatally speared into his eye. Sharpclaw, after a similar change of heart, throws herself into Steeljaw’s line of fire and subsequently dies when he tries to shoot the raw Energon vein, which would have blown up everyone and everything on Donnokt.

Foreshadowing
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: In issue 1, the Visitor/Nitro, detects strange readings from the steam-powered cars around Fembrance and Rodimus' vehicle form while scanning the town for "biofuel". Not only is it an early hint that there's Energon on Donnokt, but also hints that Nitro and the other Survivors had their bodies modified to track down and consume biofuel instead. In the flashback to Rodimus and his crew arriving on Donnokt in issue 2, Gripper expresses a fondness for all-terrain driving and exploring nature. We later learn he died on one of his reckless driving expeditions when he fell off a cliff by accident. Also in issue 2, it's shown in passing that Steeljaw is content to have the Veteran kept in stasis as long as possible. And unlike his later show of deference, he seems to resent having to be in their company. This is a hint as to his true colors as a dyed-in-the-wool Decepticon, and how his talk of Ape Shall Never Kill Ape isn't entirely genuine.

It Is Beyond Saving: Rodimus considers the Survivors' plans for keeping the Transformer race going including the hope of using the Energon on Donnokt to rebuild Cybertron, while turning the natives into farmed biofuel as only reinforcing the belief that his entire species must come to an end, lest it repeat the same cycle.

Ancient Astronauts: Subverted, for the most part. Rodimus, and company, decided not to intervene and guide Donnokt's primitive inhabitants in building a civilization, figuring this already went disastrously for other species like humans. The only direct intervention he did was give Shib's ancestors makeshift cyber-keys he made for them to guard and only use in case other surviving Cybertronians ever visited in the future.

Dramatic Irony: The Survivors eventually find out that they're standing on a motherlode of Energon, enough to not only keep themselves alive, but also to potentially rebuild Cybertron. Unfortunately, their bodies have been so thoroughly rewired to process biofuel that without ample time and the necessary equipment, they're unable to absorb even a morsel of it.

Alas, Poor Villain: While the Visitor (Nitro) tries to attack Fembrance and is killed by Rodimus for it, his fate is framed in a tragic light; he's clearly motivated by desperation rather then malice, and he tries to talk Rodimus down from fighting in Fembrance's defense out of a desire to not fight a fellow Cybertronian. He even cries out in shock and guilt when he scores a hit on Rodimus.

Red Herring: The Survivors mention being led by an ancient Autobot known as "the Veteran". Given that was the title a grizzled future-version of Swoop went by in Beast Wars, long-time fans would figure that's who they're talking about. It's actually Wheelie of all people. In issue 1, it's shown that the natives of Donnokt have already begun using steam-powered cars later on revealed to be running on Energon, making readers assume that Rodimus could be one of those vehicles. Instead, he's been in disguise as Shib's family wagon all along.

comment
History Repeats: What Rodimus is afraid of, and not just because of the Survivors' plans for Donnokt's natives. Their realization that there are large Energon deposits on the planet risks not only rekindling the ancient dream of rebuilding Cybertron at the expense of the locals, but also restarting the vicious cycle of war and devastation all over again.

Decon-Recon Switch: Despite everything mentioned above, Rodimus proves both to Shib and the Survivors why the Autobots were seen as the "good guys". Even sacrificing a slim chance at reviving Cybertron in favor of giving the sentient beings of Donnokt a better future.

Schrödinger's Canon: Per Nick Roche, the series isn't set in any pre-existing Transformers continuity but meant to be a hypothetical ending for the Transformers franchise as a whole, so fans can try to insert it into their preferred continuity.

Last of His Kind
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_e26f04b4
comment
Last of His Kind: Rodimus appears to be this, or at least one of the very last ones. He's certainly the last Cybertronian to have any sense of moral integrity and heroism, beyond mere survival. The natives of Donnokt are implied to be one of the last sentient species left in the galaxy, if not the only one left.

Rubber-Forehead Aliens: The people of Donnokt look almost human, just with sharp elfin ears, though others have flat noses and different colored skin like purple. Lampshaded by Moon when he captures Shib at one point, expressing bewilderment at the odds of finding a sentient species as humanoid as her’s.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Done with a villain, surprisingly. Wheelie's sentimentality towards Rodimus gets the better of him and he allows Shib to say goodbye to him as a gesture of kindness. Shib, of course, uses the opportunity to power-up Rodimus with her cyber-key necklace, and Rodimus proceeds to tear through the Survivors.

Mercy Kill

comment
Gripper fell off a cliff while driving… but didn't die right away and because Rodimus and company didn't have any supplies, resources, medical equipment, or even weaponry to Mercy Kill him with, they just had to watch as he slowly expired in agony. It's enough to drive Strongarm into a breakdown.

Forbidden Zone: Subverted in issue 4. In an old recording kept by Shib's family, Rodimus had attempted to warn her ancestors against using the Energon from the surrounding hills, only to then backtrack. Realizing that sooner or later, the natives of Donnokt would discover it and use it as fuel anyway.

Great Offscreen War: The war between the Autobots and Decepticons has been over for eons by the start of the series but was seemingly so destructive most of the known universe seems depleted of resources. Barely remembered tales of it are used to scare children.

How the Mighty Have Fallen
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_f933e594
comment
How the Mighty Have Fallen: Rodimus has gone from a heroic Autobot soldier fighting evil to a lone straggler living quietly and permanently transformed into vehicle mode as Shib's family wagon. The Survivors, meanwhile, are worse, having devolved into little more than glorified scavengers and parasites. This also extends to how the Transformers arrive on Donnokt. While Rodimus landed through a battered, yet fully-functional Cybertronian shuttle, the Survivors later on are shown having to make do with using a giant juryrigged bullet with little more than old star-charts and guesswork to travel from one world to the next.

Running Gag
 Transformers: Last Bot Standing (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33
comment
When Rodimus questions if the Survivors remember any legendary Transformers like Optimus or Grimlock, they answer no. They do immediately remember Thunderclash however when Rodimus inquires about him. An old Running Gag from Transformers: More than Meets the Eye where Rodimus had a one-sided rivalry with Thunderclash.

comment
Eventually, as the war between the Autobots and Decepticons petered out, many of the remaining Cybertronians focused on simply surviving and with the apparently complete depletion of Energon in the known galaxy, are extracting whatever fuel they can just to keep going. Rodimus realizes that this alone would make the Survivors a threat to Donnokt, no matter how pitiful they have become. This is further exemplified in the corrupted mantra Wheelie invokes:

Accidental Murder: In the backstory, Strongarm had a nervous breakdown at some point after Rodimus and his crew landed on Donnokt and tried to steal their shuttle to escape the planet. Rodimus tried to clip the shuttle's wings and force her to land… and instead accidentally caused her to fatally crash.
