Fiction
Wings Universe
The crew of the Eight Track had just finished up a lengthy deep-space scan for Decepticon activity, when Autobot High Command ordered them to investigate the recent crash-landing of the Van De Graaff on Beta-Nine. Right as they reached the planet and were preparing to descend, the ship was shot out of space by a Decepticon battleship. Landshark managed to crash-land without the crew suffering any casualties, but the ship itself ended up as a scrapmetal wreck in the middle of an alien lake. Wings of Honor
The ship apparently was retrieved and fixed at some point, as Landshark managed to wreck it yet again later on, leaving them needing to be ferried around by Metalhawk. Landshark blamed it on Kup's shrikebat chewing on some cables. The Coming Storm: Part 2
