- The Sigma is a spacecraft from the Aligned continuity family.
The Sigma is a small interstellar ship used by the Rescue Bot team Rescue Force Sigma-17. Its max velocity drive provides faster-than-light travel, and it has stasis pods so that the crew can travel while in stasis. The ship's capabilities also include a cloaking shield, which can render it invisible.

The Sigma and its crew were on their way back to Cybertron following a routine patrol when they picked up a distress call, leading them to a derelict vessel. There they were attacked by an Energon eater, and when even the cloaking shield failed to dissuade it, the crew went into stasis and shut the ship down so that the creature would not be able to smell their energon. Unfinished Business Drifting, the Sigma came back online when it received a message from Optimus Prime calling all Autobots to go to Earth. It automatically switched course and eventually touched down at a military base somewhere in the United States of America, where the revived crew met with Optimus and received a new assignment on Griffin Rock. Family of Heroes It was stored in a hidden hanger under the fire station's basketball court. Space Bots When their assignment as a rescue force was usurped by Dr Morocco, Heatwave worked on getting the ship back into service, just in case. The Reign of Morocco
When the Asgard became stuck in orbit, the Rescue Bots launched their ship again, with Boulder navigating, and Chase and Blades as co-pilots. They also had an unintended stowaway in the form of Cody Burns. The Sigma reached the stranded ship, but Heatwave found that the tether cable was jammed, so he had to jump to the Asgard without it. Once he'd rescued Graham and Doc Greene, they used the Sigma to tow the Asgard back to Earth. Space Bots
Chase and Boulder took the Sigma into space again to make another attempt to rescue the crew of the derelict ship, only to find that it was a trap set by the Energon eater. The creature drained the Sigma's power core, leaving it disabled, however the two Rescue Bots were able to trap the creature and use its stored energon to repower the ship, enabling them to return to Earth. Unfinished Business
Notes
- Art released by storybook artists Bull-Pen Studio showed the ship to have a design extremely similar to Transformers Animated Omega Supreme, and labeled images of the interior as "Teletran 1 bridge". The ship remained unnamed in any published fiction until "Space Bots".
