2005 IDW continuity

"Uncle! UNCLE!" (That's him at the bottom-center.)

The surviving robot then stomped Hyperion's corpse into pieces. Hangers On

A grave was made for him at Debris. Down there, Roadbuster namechecked him while wondering who might be the next leader one day. Sins of the Wreckers #1
