THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW! THIS IS PEST CONTROL!

Octus is the robotic alter-ego of the human Jim Sorenson. When going undercover to research Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II, Sorenson masqueraded as Octus in order to interview Decepticons safely. Little is known of the real Octus, save that he transforms into a Mark III Travel Machine.

Octus and Megadeath were the only Quadwal-cluster visitors who had ever been to Axiom Nexus, much to Rook's surprise. Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/07/08

Notes

• The text implies that Sorenson disguised himself as Octus, and therefore that Octus is a separate entity, a Decepticon with an alternate mode and six arms (unlike Sorenson). However, one could also interpret it as saying that Octus is just the disguise, not a real Transformer; this seems the less likely option.
  • The disguise is achieved with reverse-pretender technology.
• Animated Octus is based on the one-time Marvel Generation 1 Decepticon leader Octus.
