When a flotilla of Worldsweeper-class warships disappeared, the Decepticons memorialized them as the Phantom Fleet.
Fiction
2005 IDW continuity
At some point during the Great War,[1] a group of Worldsweepers went missing while passing through the Dark Nebula. Anomie
Under unknown circumstances, the fleet turned up after the war's end in the possession of the Grand Architect who became synonymous with the ships despite not being affiliated with the Decepticons. Animals Chasing the Infinite Farsickness
Shortly after reaching "Cyberutopia", the Lost Light came under attack from the Phantom Fleet forcing them to expend all but one of their proton missiles on the Worldsweepers before Getaway managed to smooth-talk his way into the Grand Architect's good graces. A Dance Before Dying
The whole fleet later mobilized in the Benzene Cluster, alongside the Black Block Consortia and the Infinites to fight off the threat the Architect had been preparing for, Farsickness which emerged as an invasion of their very timeline by an alternate Functionist Council using an avatar of Primus. At the Architect's command, the Phantom Fleet engaged the Functionist recon ships to allow the God Gun time to recharge. The Return of the King When "Primus" began destroying the duplicate Cybertrons necessary for the weapon, the Phantom Fleet attempted bombing runs on his face only to be outmanoeuvred by the more nimble Functionist recon ships, subsequently being caught in the shockwave of a Cybertron's destruction, destroying most of them. The Unremembering
What few remained attempted to attack "Primus" directly only to be unceremoniously destroyed. A Spark Among Embers
