	When a series of human shipping vessels were sunk by mysterious biomechanical raiders, the Autobots suspected Decepticon involvement and traced the movement of the beasts back to an undersea Decepticon headquarters. A team including the Eldedroid controlled by Dan was dispatched to the base, where the psychological effect of the Eldedroid's appearance was in full effect, terrifying [[Hook (G1)\|Hook]] and [[Bonecrusher (G1)\|Bonecrusher]] and allowing Dan to take them down quickly. Interrogating the two Decepticons, the Autobots discovered that the Decepticons had created the sea monsters, but that the creatures had turned on them and trapped them inside the base.

	In 2035, the idea of [[spark]]less [[Transformer]] bodies—originally explored by the Transformers of planet [[Master (planet)\|Master]] as part of their [[Transtector]] program—was revisited by the [[Autobot]]s and humanity as part of their joint development of [[Power Core Combination]] technology. Among the creations of the project was "Assaultmaster", the brainchild of Wheeljack: a new body capable of interfacing with Power Core drones which would serve as a spare frame that Optimus Prime himself could transfer his spark into, rather than have to undergo a total body upgrade like the other participants in the program. When the Decepticons began stealing the technology, however, Assaultmaster was put to a different use: using an interface exoskeleton, the Autobot's human ally [[Clouder]]—already well versed in the finer points of controlling a Transformer after his time as a [[Godmaster (lifeform)\|Godmaster]]—took control of the drone and piloted it into battle along a team of four Assault Drones. While exploring the cave believed to be their enemies' base, however, he lost control of Assaultmaster to the mysterious bodiless Decepticon High Regent [[Scrash (G1)\|Scrash]], who desired to use the body as his own. Clouder set Assaultmaster's internal [[Wheeljack Instant Immobilizer\|Immobilizer]] unit to overload, rather than let the body fall into Scrash's hands. {{storylink\|Hope for the Next Generation}} {{storylink\|Unearthed Future}}

	**''ID number'': '''EX-07'''
	**''Accessories'': Sentinel Drone, Guardian Drone, Alpha Drone, Zeta Drone

	: Assaultmaster is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' [[Huffer (PCC)#Power Core Combiners\|Huffer]] toy, transforming into a long-nosed truck. He can also assume a "Prime Mode" where he becomes the torso of a super robot, capable of using any auto-transforming Power Core Combiner drone-machine molds for limbs.

	: He comes with the Assault Drones, redecoes of the ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' [[Destron (PCC)\|Destron]] drones, which were in turn redecoes of a selection of drones from the [[Combaticon (PCC)\|Combaticons]] and [[Aerialbot (PCC)\|Aerialbots]]. Each one has a square socket for a Power Core Combiner connection; when attached via the blue plugs on a Commander figure, the drones automatically transform into a super-robot limb, and snap back to vehicle mode when disconnected. Despite the universal connector, each drone can only form one limb type (but can be swapped from left to right):

	~~:* '''Sentinel Drone''' (missile carrier) — Arm (Assaultmaster's right)~~
	~~:* '''Guardian Drone''' (spy plane) — Arm (Assaultmaster's left)~~
	~~:* '''Alpha Drone''' (attack helicopter) — Leg (Assaultmaster's right)~~
	~~:* '''Zeta Drone''' (armored car) — Leg (Assaultmaster's left)~~

	:In keeping with Assaultmaster's role as a spare body for Optimus Prime, the drones are all named after other Primes: [[Sentinel Prime (G1)\|Sentinel Prime]], [[Guardian Prime]], [[Primon\|Alpha Prime]], and [[Zeta Prime (G1)\|Zeta Prime]].

A team including the Eldedroid controlled by Dan was dispatched to the base, where the psychological effect of the Eldedroid's appearance was in full effect, terrifying [[Hook (G1)\|Hook]] and [[Bonecrusher (G1)\|Bonecrusher]] and allowing Dan to take them down quickly. Interrogating the two Decepticons, the Autobots discovered that the Decepticons had created the sea monsters, but that the creatures had turned on them and trapped them inside the base.		When a series of human shipping vessels were sunk by mysterious biomechanical raiders, the Autobots suspected Decepticon involvement and traced the movement of the beasts back to an undersea Decepticon headquarters.

	*'''Assaultmaster Prime Mode''' ([[2012]]-[[November 17\|11-17]])
	**''ID number'': '''EX-07'''
	**''Accessories'': Sentinel Drone, Guardian Drone, Alpha Drone, Zeta Drone

	: Assaultmaster is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' [[Huffer (PCC)#Power Core Combiners\|Huffer]] toy, transforming into a long-nosed truck. He can also assume a "Prime Mode" where he becomes the torso of a super robot, capable of using any auto-transforming Power Core Combiner drone-machine molds for limbs.

	: He comes with the Assault Drones, redecoes of the ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' [[Destron (PCC)\|Destron]] drones, which were in turn redecoes of a selection of drones from the [[Combaticon (PCC)\|Combaticons]] and [[Aerialbot (PCC)\|Aerialbots]]. Each one has a square socket for a Power Core Combiner connection; when attached via the blue plugs on a Commander figure, the drones automatically transform into a super-robot limb, and snap back to vehicle mode when disconnected. Despite the universal connector, each drone can only form one limb type (but can be swapped from left to right):

	~~:* '''Sentinel Drone''' (missile carrier) — Arm (Assaultmaster's right)~~
	~~:* '''Guardian Drone''' (spy plane) — Arm (Assaultmaster's left)~~
	~~:* '''Alpha Drone''' (attack helicopter) — Leg (Assaultmaster's right)~~
	~~:* '''Zeta Drone''' (armored car) — Leg (Assaultmaster's left)~~

	:In keeping with Assaultmaster's role as a spare body for Optimus Prime, the drones are all named after other Primes: [[Sentinel Prime (G1)\|Sentinel Prime]], [[Guardian Prime]], [[Primon\|Alpha Prime]], and [[Zeta Prime (G1)\|Zeta Prime]].
