Profile: Octopunch lumbers along at the bottom of the ocean in a deliberate, deceptively passive fashion that may seem serene to an observer. Anything that crosses his path, however, sees the side of him that has terrified sailors on a dozen worlds. Octopunch is ferocious and merciless, punching a hole in an armored submarine as quickly and carelessly as an aquatic creature. He’s been known to amuse himself by sinking passenger liners, watching calmly as the innocent beings frantically drown, or pushing icebergs into the paths of cruise ships. These thoughts of chaos entertain him while skims the ocean floor for salvageable items. Since his arrival into the Decepticon ranks, Octopunch has formed a strong partnership with the brutish Stranglehold, and the disciplined Bludgeon.

Abilities: Subject is a force to be reckoned with both outside and in the water. Though he thrives in the depths of the ocean, he is still a capable warrior on land. The salvage expert is outfitted with a deep sea radar device that helps him detect sunken treasures or the next Autobot to stumble into his hunting grounds. The device is useable when the subject takes to the surface, but to a lesser effect. In terms of armament, subject is armed a harpoon gun that fires razor-tipped, electrically-charged harpoons that momentarily short circuits most mechanical functions on contact.

Weaknesses: Outside of an aquatic environment, the subject’s alt mode serves little use to him and has extreme difficulty moving about the battlefield. Octopunch is also rather overconfident in his abilities.
