The Alchemor is a spacecraft from the 2015 Robots in Disguise franchise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Were you surprised that a Cybertronian ship crash landed, and on Earth of all places?

The Alchemor was an Autobot maximum-security prison ship containing captured criminals in stasis cells, under the care of the Mini-Con Fixit. Although it possessed a number of sophisticated systems for preventing the prisoners from escaping, it didn't have many systems that could have prevented the ship from crashing on an undeveloped planet where these same prisoners could easily run amok.

Whoops.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

Manipulating things from an alternate dimension, Megatronus caused the Alchemor to crash on Earth. The front half of the ship hit the woods near Denny Clay's scrapyard, Lockout while the back half of the ship landed in a lake. Metal Meltdown Although Fixit survived the crash, most of the ship didn't. As a result, most of the stasis cells holding the inmates were deactivated. Fixit was able to repair some of the ship's systems and tried to send a mayday to Cybertron. Bumblebee and his impromptu team discovered the wreck before the signal could reach Cybertron, having been led to Earth for then-unknown reasons by visions of Optimus Prime. (Well, Bumblebee was. The other two had just kinda tagged along.) Fixit got the ship's tracking systems online, allowing them to find Underbite, though the crash site subsequently became the scene of a battle between the Autobots and the lone Decepticon. Pilot (Part 1)

Parts of the ship were relocated to Denny's scrapyard, allowing the Autobots to utilize its tracking function and consult its prisoner manifest for relevant information. Pilot (Part 2) Strongarm made another sweep of the crash site, and managed to salvage a damaged Decepticon Hunter. As the Kospego Commands! Due to the damage caused to him from the crash, a malfunctioning Fixit returned to the crashsite, repeating the word "escape", only to be found by Sideswipe, Jetstorm and Slipstream the following morning. Their arrival caught the attention of a bear, which the three Autobots engaged with in a brief skirmish. The Trouble with Fixit

When the Decepticon Saberhorn was discovered by Bumblebee's squad, Fixit was unable to find him in the Alchemor's prisoner manifest. Later, by remotely accessing a computer at one of Windblade's bases, he discovered that the Decepticon was listed as having been imprisoned on the ship, raising questions as to just what was going on with Fixit's records... meanwhile, Saberhorn returned to the back half of the crashed ship, which had been turned into a base by fugitives led by Glowstrike and Scorponok.

Prisoner manifest

A pair of Vehicons and an Insecticon have also appeared as part of Glowstrike and Scorponok's crew. However, it is possible they were part of Megatron's forces left behind on Earth, which has been known to happen.
