Under unknown circumstances, the fleet turned up after the war's end in the possession of the Grand Architect who became synonymous with the ships despite not being affiliated with the Decepticons. Animals Chasing the Infinite Farsickness

Shortly after reaching "Cyberutopia", the Lost Light came under attack from the Phantom Fleet forcing them to expend all but one of their proton missiles on the Worldsweepers before Getaway managed to smooth-talk his way into the Grand Architect's good graces. A Dance Before Dying

The whole fleet later mobilized in the Benzene Cluster, alongside the Black Block Consortia and the Infinites to fight off the threat the Architect had been preparing for, Farsickness which emerged as an invasion of their very timeline by an alternate Functionist Council using an avatar of Primus. At the Architect's command, the Phantom Fleet engaged the Functionist recon ships to allow the God Gun time to recharge.
