Those who know '''Octopunch''' like to call him an ordinary, everyday Decepticon. Which is pretty weird, since he's nothing like the rest of them! Unlike his peers, Octopunch has no psychological hangups or weird quirks. He's just a guy, you know? He doesn't even understand why everyone likes fighting so much; he's got no love for war. For him, the war's just a job, and like any other job, he wants to do it well.

Octopunch is covered in experimental [[rheanimum]] rust-proofing, which was intended to help him in his underwater missions, but also had the side effect of making him impervious to any nanotech invasions. In other words, when there's [[Junkion (SG)|Junkion]]s on the docket, the Decepticons make sure he's on the roster. Octopunch also carries two positron-torpedo launchers.

==Fiction==
===''Shattered Glass''===
When the Decepticons were tipped off by Optimus Prime that Ultra Magnus had escaped his prison on [[Paradron]], Octopunch joined [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]]'s team to hunt him down. They traveled through a portal to a strange parallel universe where they encountered Magnus and his army battling their destination universe's heroic Autobots. Here Magnus was after this universe's [[Rarified Energon]] so that he could open up a hole in space time to bring its Earth to his Cybertron, destroying them both. But when Octopunch and the Decepticons appeared, Magnus used his stolen [[Terminus Blade]] to stage an escape.

The heroic Autobots and heroic Decepticons joined forces and fought back the insidious [[Junkion (SG)|Junkion]] hive, while Octopunch and a heroic [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] scoped out the evil Autobot's machinery below. Here the pair encountered two evil Decepticons. Scoop was able to disable [[Skullgrin]], but Octopunch was more evenly matched against the other. Suddenly, Octopunch stumbled upon the realization that his opponent was his alternate universe counterpart, and while the evil Octopunch was momentarily confused, the heroic Octopunch dealt a finishing blow.

After surveying the equipment underground, Octopunch realized that the forcefield guarding it was impenetrable, and he relayed that information to [[Sir Soundwave]] aboveground. Ultimately, Soundwave was able to expand the forcefield surrounding the underground equipment to cover the entire Earth. Octopunch and the heroic Decepticons believed this had averted the crisis, but Magnus scoffed. He wanted to destroy this Earth, yes, but he'd also set in motion the destruction of its entire universe! As Earth was pulled into orbit over their universe's Cybertron, the Earth's entire former dimension was destroyed.

Magnus declared victory and retreated. Octopunch listened as [[Straxus (SG)|Straxus]] recited an uplifting passage. {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}

*'''Spinister/Shattered Glass Octopunch''' (BotCon 2012 souvenir add-on)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "torpedo launchers", 2 [[missile|"torpedo" projectiles]]

:A [[redeco]] of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] [[Sea Spray]], Octopunch transforms into a transport hovercraft with rolling wheels underneath. The rear deck (featuring a fold-down ramp) can carry most [[size class|Scout]] class vehicles. Octopunch's turbofans can rotate and tilt at several angles, and feature little fans inside that can spin (only by manual manipulation, as there is no gimmick mechanism linked to them). Octopunch's torpedo launchers attach on the sides of his air cushion skirt.

:In robot mode, Octopunch's design resembles that of a scuba diver, with a breather mask and "goggles" on his head, details resembling scuba air tanks (actually part of his vehicle mode air cushion) on his back and fold-out flippers on his feet. His torpedo launchers, using [[5mm post]]s, can be left attached to the underside of his arms as they were in vehicle mode, or placed in his hands. As with other toys from the 2010 line, Octopunch has [[C joint]]s, and in this case, it's the silver ladder rungs on his shoulders.

: Octopunch was sold with [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] and limited to 1500 total sets. His mold was also used to make [[Deep Dive]].
