![]() ![]() Actually, I’m not sure he as an appearance anywhere. ![]() I’m not sure if Depthcharge has an appearance in the film. ![]() ![]() ROTF figures generally do not have their functions listed in their bio on the back of the box (I’m beginning to think Functions are a G1-only thing). I guess they do whatever they please.ĭepthcharge is a scout class figure from the ROTF line. I can’t find Function listings for Energon characters. Mirage also seems to have a fair amount of screen time in the Energon Animated series and I think his original name was Tidal Wave. However, I think Mirage came first and so he’s ranked higher on this list. Not to be confused with G1 Mirage, this figure and Dreadwing (see above) are redecos of each other. I might hunt down this figure if I can fine one at a reasonable price. This is the kind of boat figures I envision Hasbro releasing in the Classics line. Horny Decepticons are usually too willing to oblige.ĭreadwing’s toy looks extremely cool. She uses her sexy fembot mode and her sexy boat mode to get what she wants. Rotor Force figures have a gimmick where the rotor can be launched as a spinning disc, the perfect toy for another boring office meeting.Īs one of the very few female Decepticons, Thunderblast knows how to manipulate weak-minded TFs of the male variety. Hasbro picked a really good alt mode here and was daring enough to try something different from G1. The only G2 character on this list, Manta Ray is one of the first original G2 characters (as in not a G1 repaint). He has petitioned numerous times to change his name to Baywatch but Optimus would not have it. A little known fact is that Seawatch loves to watch “Baywatch”. I never really liked this guy’s toy, probably because he’s got a lame looking robot mode and a questionable color scheme.Īs part of the Micromaster Rescue Patrol, Seawatch is dedicated to protecting the sea environments and stopping oceanic misdeeds, such as polluting and poaching. The first Autobot Six Changer, Quickswitch makes this list because he does have a hovercraft mode. Why did I choose Submarauder? Because he has a submarine alt mode, which is unique to this list. Believe it or not, there are quite a few sea vehicles in the Pretender line. But I ran out of boats and I needed one more to round out a top 10. I tried to leave Pretenders off this list, I really did. So this is basically a list of 10 TFs that transform into watercrafts. And even with such a broad definition, coming up with 10 TFs was difficult. For this listing, a boat is any vehicle that primarily traverses on or under water. I’m being very generous with the definition here. Sea vehicles, such as battleships, tankers, and cruise liners, would be very refreshing additions.Īs it currently stands, there are only a handful of boats in the TF universe, and I will do them justice by listing them in a top 10 list. There are boatloads of cars and jets already (pun intended). I’m no toy designer, but a boat TF does not seem like it would be difficult to design. The boat is a very scarcely used alt mode in the TF universe. One guy here in the office is big on boating and we will probably all go out to his place and chill on the river this upcoming summer.īut this gets me thinking… what are some Transformer boats? I couldn’t think of that many. This morning I was shooting the bull with my coworkers around the water cooler, and we got on the subject of talking about boats. ![]()
