'''Midship''' (ミッドシップ ''Middoshippu'') has anger issues. He's one of Unicron's many hunters, and he seems to ''really'' enjoy his job. He's incredibly loud, rude, and violent, a stark contrast to his teammate [[Top Gear]]'s quieter form of menace. You can't help but hear Midship coming, but even so, it's probably too late anyway.

==Fiction==
===Linkage===
In the process of hunting down "renegade" Mini-Cons who did not serve Unicron, Midship and [[Top Gear]] tracked the [[Super Stunt Team]] to [[India]]. Grabbing [[Redline]] by the neck, he began taunting him and his friends for believing that the Mini-Cons could ever find peace. {{storylink|Linkage Part 3}} Redline resisted and stunned Midship by kicking him in the face and shooting him. Before he could strike back, he and the rest of the [[Speed Chaser Team]] were chased off by [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]]. {{storylink|Linkage Part 4}} In the form of the [[Magnawing]], the Speed Chaser Team later assaulted [[Falcia]] in the skies above [[Seattle]], but retreated again when faced with [[Combusta]]. {{storylink|Linkage Part 6}}

As part of a new plan, [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] later presented Midship and the others with a large capsule. {{storylink|Linkage Part 7}} In Magnawing mode, they towed the capsule to the Super Stunt Team, where they revealed that it contained the corrupted [[Autobot]] [[Ravenus]]. {{storylink|Linkage Part 9}} After Ravenus captured [[Servo]] and [[Twirl]], the Speed Chaser Team ordered him to withdraw alongside them. {{storylink|Linkage Part 10}} They were subsequently blasted aside by a powered-up Redline. {{storylink|Linkage Part 11}} In the aftermath, they watched as Mini-Cons woke and gathered from places all over Earth, and Midship ordered the [[Aqua Raider Team]] to withdraw as well. {{storylink|Linkage Part 12}}

The Speed Chaser Team were among the loyal Mini-Cons who defended Unicron during his battle against the entire population of Cybertron. During the battle, Midship clashed with Redline again, calling him and his allies "diseased cells" that only served to be exterminated. Odds are he lost the battle and his life. {{storylink|Linkage Part 13}}
