After the end of the Great War, with Cybertron governed by the Unified Cybertron Alliance under the watchful eye of the Last Autobot, the Cybertronian Civil Defense (also called the Civil Defense Force) was established to keep order. It is commanded by Ultra Magnus out of the Civil Defense Hub in Iacon.
Ultra Magnus brought intelligence gathered by Kup showing that the Decepticons might once again be active on Cybertron to Optimus Prime at Nova Point, where Kup requested permission to send in the Wreckers to deal with the threat. Prime refused, not wanting to lend any credence to the dissidents, but the threat was proven quite real when an orbital defense satellite fired upon Iacon itself, destroying the Last Autobot. Counterpoint
Not long afterwards, Ultra Magnus had to deal with a group of "Neo-Decepticons" that had holed up with a load of reclaimed Warbird cobalt-60 warheads inside the Pax Cybertronia Decommissioning Depot in Kalis. Again Kup argued that the Wreckers should go in but Magnus refused him, citing Prime's orders to preserve the Unified Cybertron Alliance. Dismissing the alliance as a crock, Kup and the team went in anyway, though resorted to non-violent methods only. Magnus then went back to Nova Point to complain to Prime, claiming that the Wreckers were setting a bad example to his Cybertronian Civil Defence cadets. They set an even worse example soon after, by deserting Cybertron in a shuttle and absconding to Earth aboard the Cosmic Carnival. Loose Ends, Part 1 Ultra Magnus threw a little tantrum and punched through one of his screens when Trailbreaker brought him this news at the Civil Defense Hub. Loose Ends, Part 2
Magnus and Trailbreaker discovered that Kup had stolen a shuttle from the Scramble City Shipyard and hitched a ride aboard the Cosmic Carnival to Earth. Turning every receiving dish in Altihex towards the planet, they picked up Springer's distress call from the Mojave Desert but then picked up an even more ominous message broadcast every five breems—a challenge from Megatron to Optimus Prime personally. Magnus organised an armed assault squad and went to see Prime, who left Hot Rod in charge before leaving for Earth aboard the Valiant. Loose Ends, Part 3
The assault squad arrived in Washington, D.C. Loose Ends, Part 4 where they battled Megatron's zombie Transformers until Circuit Smasher took down the Ark's computer and the zombies just bit the dust. Loose Ends, Part 5 Afterwards, they dumped the bodies in a large pit in West Virginia and vaporised them from orbit. Natural Selection, Part One They would then return to Cybertron, though Optimus Prime elected to remain behind on Earth.
Meanwhile, on Cybertron, the former Headmasters Highbrow, Brainstorm and Hardhead had returned, resurrected by Scorponok on Nebulos and turned evil by his Gene Key. They landed in the Badlands and made their way to the Civil Defence Hub, slaughtering the Autobots stationed within and taking the facility for Scorponok's use. Natural Selection, Part Two
The Decepticon Clones Pounce and Wingspan were stationed at the Civil Defense Hub when the Valiant returned to Cybertronian space. Upon reporting the situation to Scorponok, he ordered them to wait until Magnus's squad and the Wreckers were within range and then blow them out of the sky. Natural Selection, Part Four Thanks to Hosehead, Grapple, Crosshairs and Blurr retaking the Civil Defense Hub with the aid of the Dinobots, the cloaked surface-to-air cluster missiles were stopped in time and the Valiant landed safely. Natural Selection, Part Five
Finding that over ninety percent of the Civil Defence Force had been wiped out in his absence, Magnus rallied the remaining troops at the Civil Defense Hub with a not very particularly convincing speech. Conferring with Optimus Prime on Earth, he reported that relief teams had been sent to Nebulos to deal with the traumatised population there, while he himself had doubts about Hot Rod's leadership. Prime advised him to trust Hot Rod as he had to learn to do things his own way but Magnus's doubts appeared to be well founded when further unrest broke out after Hot Rod gave a speech at Eugenesis Plaza. Destiny, Part One With groups like the Wreckers unsuited to keeping order Destiny, Part Two Magnus remotely coordinated them in an attack on Fort Scyk from the Civil Defence Hub, but found that the Neo-Decepticon base had been abandoned and booby-trapped. Elsewhere, Prowl, Red Alert and Streetwise could only find low-level Decepticons like Runamuck on the streets so Magnus recalled his other patrols, assuming that the 'Cons had gone to ground.
With most of their long-range scanners knocked out by Soundwave's machinations, Magnus resorted to standing on a rooftop in Iacon, maintaining contact with Cosmos as his eye in the sky but just as he lost contact with the flying saucer an insane Decepticon from the future landed on him. Destiny, Part Three During a brief respite in fighting Galvatron on the A-19-61 thruway, Magnus received an update on the general situation from Blades—Bludgeon's Warworld had appeared above Cybertron, it was spewing hordes of unstoppable Blitz Engines onto the planet's surface and lots of generic Autobots had been slaughtered already. Destiny, Part Four With Galvatron incapacitated, Magnus joined his troops on the front lines against the Blitz Engines but they found themselves pinned down until the Dinobots and Demons emerged from the depths of the planet and turned the tide against the enemy. With a glorious speech, Magnus led the Autobots to victory against the Blitz Engines and Decepticons. Destiny, Part Five
Magnus led a team comprising Blurr, Rapido, Gunrunner and Skram to Kalis to recover Galvatron's body, but found the future Decepticon leader both active and dangerous. Even after Gunrunner managed to knock him down, the team was ambushed by the Acolytes of Unicron who took Galvatron with them. The War to End All Wars, Part 1 With the arrival of Jhiaxus and his Primum Fugae on Cybertron, Magnus and his men were on high alert, though they responded too slow to the Primum Fugae massacring the Demons at Camp Zero, finding only dead or injured Demons and Dinobots when they arrived. The War to End All Wars, Part 2
While Ultra Magnus and some of the other high-ranking Autobots joined Rodimus Prime's mission to attack Jhiaxus's Hub Network, The War to End All Wars, Part 3 The War to End All Wars, Part 4 the Dark Matrix creature attacked Cybertron itself, converting pretty much the entire population of the planet, and one hundred percent of the remaining Cybertronian Civil Defence Force, into life-sapping shadow-leeches.
