Marvel The Transformers comics
Not long before Optimus Prime and his crew launched from Cybertron in the Ark to clear threating asteroids, he was defending the Jan-Ja in what seemed to be a doomed attempt to keep the Decepticons from taking Iacon. Mattock urged Prime to surrender. Prime told him to get out the white flag. Relieved, Mattock unfurled it only to be shocked when Prime ordered him to bind his wound with it. With that, Prime ordered a charge, which was apparently successful in protecting Iacon. Surrender!

Notes
- Other Autobots present at the battle include: Jazz, Ironhide, Prowl, and Wheeljack.
- The time of the battle was given as 4 million years ago ± a few thousand years.
- The location of the battle was not named in the comic itself, only later being revealed in "Covenant".
- It's not clear who or what a Monark is in the context of Transformers, but he sure sounds like he must be important.
