The Semper Tyrannis and its crew of The Transformers (2017 TV Series).
Bio[]
The Semper Tyrannis is a major Decepticon battle cruiser. She's sleek, except for the parts that aren't. She is fast, though even with a head start she is caught by a flying island. She is powerful, though we never actually see her fire a single weapon. Okay, so maybe she isn't. She can however randomly change her color scheme from purple to gold. Truth be told, we know practically nothing about her. However, we know Scorponok chose her as his personal vessel when hunting down Autobots so she must have some advantages.

History[]
When Decepticon leader Scorponok learned that his nemesis Fortress Maximus had left Cybertron for Nebulos, he ordered his troops to pursue; the Semper Tyrannis carried them to Nebulos, where it was left in orbit while the Decepticons invaded the planet's surface. |Broken Glass|
After a series of adventures on Nebulos, Scorponok and his crew left Nebulos aboard the Semper Tyrannis, pursuing Fortress Maximus to a new world. |Brothers in Armor| The starship ferried the Decepticon crew to Earth, where it was again left in orbit. |Trial by Fire| The ship served as Scorponok's headquarters for a time, until his troops could establish a base on Earth. |Monstercon from Mars|
Eventually, Scorponok landed the Semper Tyrannis on Earth's surface in the Arctic, to rendezvous with Ratbat's crew. Upon landing, it served as a rattle toy for Piranacon for a bit. Starscream smoothed the whole thing over... just before he started a massive battle between the two crews, just so he could get his hands on the space-ready craft and go after the Underbase. |Cold War|
