	* '''Dread Pirate Crew''' (~~Deluxe~~, 2014)		*'''Dread Pirate Crew''' (Souvenir 2-pack, 2014)
	~~: The Dread Pirate Crew are redecoes of~~ ''~~[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)\|Prime]]~~'' ~~[[Vehicon (Prime)\|Vehicon]], specifically the ''Robots in Disguise'' molds. One of them, representing the Pounce bodytype, is redecoed from the Car Vehicon~~, and ~~the other, representing the Wingspan bodytype, is redecoed from the Jet Vehicon.~~		**''Accessories'': Blaster, "Plunder" and "Pillage" weapon-partners

	: ~~The~~ Dread Pirate Crew ~~also~~ comes with ~~two differently coloured versions~~ of the [[Arms Micron]] [[Igu]].		: Available only as at-show "souvenirs" at [[BotCon 2014]], the "Dread Pirate Crew" is a two-pack of the [[Hasbro]]-release Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)\|Prime]]: Robots in Disguise'' [[Vehicon (Prime)#Robots in Disguise\|Vehicon]] mold and a [[retool]] (sort of) of the [[TakaraTomy]] ''Prime'' [[Vehicon (Prime)#Jet\|Jet Vehicon]] (the first use of this mold in Hasbro's markets), in matching decos that [[homage]] the [[The Transformers (franchise)\|Generation 1]] Decepticon Clones [[Pounce]] and [[Wingspan]].

			: The "Pounce" style ground Crew member transforms into a sleek luxury car of made-up model, featuring [[5 mm post]]-holes on the back end (robot mode shoulders) to mount compatible weapons with; the ground Crew comes with an aqua-blue redeco of the [[Arms Micron]] [[Igu#Toys\|Igu]], later named "[[Plunder]]", who transforms from robotic iguana to a blaster-cannon. The ground Crew also comes with the normal clip-on blaster from the Hasbro release of this mold, which ''can'' be hand-held, but is designed to clip onto the car-panels on the robot's arms (with the hands folded back) as a "wrist"-mounted weapon.

			: The "Wingspan" style air Crew member transforms into an aerial version of the car (just go with it), featuring ''numerous'' 5 mm ports for weapon-mounting: eleven dedicated ports, plus two 5 mm screw-holes towards the vehicle front, ''and'' a [[Mini-Con]]-compatible post under each main wing. One of these 5 mm ports is on a "thruster" on the vehicle-mode's "trunk", a part that the original Jet Vehicon did not have; this modified trunk piece is from the Takara "Arms Micron" version of the car-mode Vehicon. However, the piece is ''slightly'' incompatible with the wider tabs on the Jet Vehicon's rear side panels, which means the trunk can be secured, but there's a gap between it and the rest of the vehicle. The air Crew member comes with a white version of the Igu mold, this one later named "[[Pillage]]". Sadly, they do not have the extra blaster, not that this mold can do the wrist-blaster trick anyway.

			: The included single bio card gave the Crew no individual names or characterization, but later online updates (which also named the previously-unnamed iguana-guns) would fill out the ranks.

The remainder stayed aboard the ''Tidal Wave'', as Flamewar began plotting her future as the new Captain Cannonball... {{storylink\|Tornado~~'s Personal Journal~~}}		After escaping the Knights, the Star Seekers began a quest to find [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]]'s immortal spark. Unfortunately, they found it. Following a map to a planetoid awash in gravitational anomalies, Cannonball sacrificed a good number of his Wingspan-type pirates to create a counter-gravitational pulse long enough to reach the planetoid. Thunderclap and Neurotoxin were part of the landing party who found the deathlike body of a [[Quintesson]] in the caverns below. Only after bringing the Quintesson back to the ''Tidal Wave'' did they realize Starscream's spark lay within the creature. The devious Decepticon hopped from body to body until making a deal with [[Flamewar (G1)\|Flamewar]] to seize control from Cannonball. Starscream used Cannonball's body as his own, and Flamewar abandoned the captain's spark on the planetoid, along with a few loyal members of the Dread Pirate Crew.
