Octopunch (RID)
| The name or term "Octopunch" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Octopunch (disambiguation). |
- Octopunch is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Though he may come off as grouchy and more than a bit whiny, you'd best not let Octopunch's personality and gangly appearance fool you. He's as formidable on land as he is underwater, and his tentacles allows him to engage multiple opponents at once. He employs his talents in raiding downed vessels... which he does his part to help crash beforehand, so he might raid them for salvage. His submarine alternate mode allows him to probe the depths of any sea, even those on Earth, with their "weird" water fluid.

Octopunch was imprisoned aboard the Alchemor, but escaped from his stasis pod after the ship's crash. He located a crashed Cybertronian vessel underwater, which he intended to plunder and activate, only to be set upon by Bumblebee and his crew. Octopunch used his underwater combat skills and multiple limbs to defeat the team, and entered the ship's bridge through an access hatch, where he immediately began to activate the vehicle. The Autobots were forced to enter another hatch, prompting Octopunch to activate the vessel's defenses to hinder them as he brought the four engines online one by one.
Despite successfully managing to trap the majority of Bumblebee's team, Bumblebee himself, along with Grimlock, managed to reach the bridge, where the two Autobots engaged Octopunch in battle. This time, they were able to beat him by tying up Octopunch's tentacles. They destroyed the ship's launch mechanism, and then escaped the ship's self-destruct sequence with the others thanks to the Autobots' GroundBridge, returning home and successfully putting Octopunch back into stasis.
