:''Motherships are capital ships in the [[live-action film series]].''<br />

Given that the [[Decepticon]]s have always placed an emphasis on aerial superiority, the '''motherships'''<ref>[http://massiveblack.com/MBwebolution/blog/?p=301 MassiveBlack.com]</ref> manage to fulfill the roles of both battle ship and carriers for the [[Orbital Assault Carrier]]s.<br />
<br />
They have tentacles on their undersides. Weird.<br />

==Fiction==<br />
===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' film===<br />
Several battle cruisers lay hidden beneath the surface of the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] with the bulk of the Decepticon forces, waiting for the day the Decepticons managed to awaken [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. Once the [[pillar]]s opened a [[space bridge]] on the surface of the Moon, the motherships rose from the surface. <br />
<br />
When [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered the Decepticons to seal off [[Chicago]], at least nine motherships took part in the attack, unleashing dozens of Orbital Assault Carriers on the city while also targeting buildings with their missiles. Despite their impressive firepower, the motherships did not break from their patrols to engage the [[Autobot]]s or [[NEST]] when they arrived, instead serving as refueling points for the Orbital Assault Carriers. [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]] managed to get aboard a mothership and cause it to malfunction, dropping its cargo of Orbital Assault Carriers onto [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]'s Decepticons, allowing the capture Autobots to escape. The malfunctions also caused the mothership to crash into the Chicago River, which the diminutive Autobots assumed to be their death.<br />
<br />
When the control pillar was destroyed, severing the space bridge bringing [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to [[Earth]], the motherships were pulled into the collapsing bridge and out of Chicago, presumably destroying them with Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)}}<br />
