The Sunken Ship was a crashed Cybertronian spacecraft that landed in one of Earth's oceans at an unknown point in time. It was later discovered by the Decepticon Octopunch, an escapee of the Alchemor, who powered it up in an effort to escape Earth. However, his efforts were discovered by the Bee Team, who after engaging him outside the vessel boarded it in an effort to stop him. They were forced to deal with the ship's auto-defenses, including a swarm of guard robots identical in design to Fixit but lacking his caretaker programming. Fortunately, Grimlock managed to shutdown the launch sequence, but set off a chain reaction that ended up destroying the ship, though not before the Autobots managed to escape with Octopunch in custody.
