Fiction[]

Masterforce cartoon[]

Voice actor: Yuuji Mikimoto (Japanese)
Italian Tv dub name: Interceptor
Russian TV dub name: Volnorez (Волнорез) ("Breakwater")

After the Decepticon Pretenders were sealed away, the Autobot Pretenders went their separate ways. Diver eventually came to live in the United States and worked as a marine biologist in California.

Diver later on explained to Hydra and Buster Pretenders' role and why they chose to reside on Earth, but his speech was taken by the Darkwing brothers as sappy and worthless. Soon after, Diver was facing near-certain death when he was saved by a re-energized Ginrai fusing with his Transtector.

Diver summoned Lander to the California so that he could educate Ginrai on the Decepticons, and although Ginrai was not willing to formally join the Autobots, he agreed to help them when he could "for the sake for the world." Unfortunately for Ginrai, the Decepticons began targeting truckers in an attempt to find him, causing the deaths of several of his friends. When the villains at last tracked Ginrai down, Diver had to remind Ginrai of the correct activation code so that he could transform and beat the Decepticons back. Ginrai: God On of Rage!!

When Ginrai discovered three more pairs of Master-Braces in his Transtector, Diver arranged for him to bring them to the Autobot base in Japan for study. A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva While there, Ginrai discovered a trailer for his Transtector, and returned to America to show it to Diver and Lander. Ginrai proceeded to appear on TV in hopes of finding the Godmasters-to-be that the new Master-Braces will belong to, while Diver and Lander tried to take his outlandish approach in stride. Soon after his TV appearance, Ginrai was attacked by Hydra and Buster in an attempt to publicly disgrace him, but Diver and Lander came to his aid and took care of the Seacons the brothers had brought with them. In the wake of the battle, Diver commented that if Ginrai was already so self-conscious as to be concerned for his reputation, then he was already a good candidate for Autobot leader. Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai

After the Decepticon kidnapped a group of children on an island off the coast of America, Diver elected to scout ahead as the other Autobots prepared to mount a rescue attempt. Unfortunately, Diver was spotted by Gilmer on his approach, and blindsided by Dauros as soon as he set foot on the island and reverted to human form. Harnessed with a device that prevented him from transforming to robot mode, Diver instead enlisted the aid of one of the captive kids, directing the boy to remove his watch and place it in the water nearby. The watch generated a powerful sonic signal that reached the dolphins at the Ocean Research Institute, and the other Autobots were able to follow the animals to the island, where they rescued Diver and the kids. Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai

Seaman.

Diver's duties at the Institute kept him from participating in the search for the new Autobot Godmasters, An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger but in the midst of the quest, he did find the time to pay a visit to Japan, where the Headmaster Juniors welcomed him with another of Cab's great feasts. Unfortunately, the repast was interrupted by an attack on a nearby city Sixknight, but Ginrai soon subdued him. A Powerful Foe!! Sixknight the Wanderer After Ginrai successfully located all three of the Autobot Godmasters, Metalhawk decided to step down and appoint him Autobot leader, and Diver and the other Pretenders didn't give him much choice in the matter. The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!

Soon thereafter, Diver, Metalhawk and Lander met with their old ally, Grand Maximus, who arrived from space to inform them of the approach of the Decepticon, BlackZarak, towards Earth. Grand supplied them with the plans and materials necessary to construct a drone named "Godbomber", which would enable Ginrai to fly and fight in space and defeat BlackZarak before he reached the planet, and Diver and the Pretenders focused their efforts into the completion of this "Bomber Project". Life? Death? The Desperate Lightfoot Despite various attempts by the Decepticons to stop them, the Autobots successfully completed construction of Godbomber God Ginrai - Into the Sky!!, and Ginrai succeeded in preventing BlackZarak from reaching Earth. God Ginrai - Showdown on the Surface of the Moon.

Diver stepped back from the front lines at this point, participating only occasionally in battles. He received an SOS from a cruise liner the Decepticons attacked and alerted the other Autobots to the situation Appearance!! The Final Godmaster and when BlackZarak returned and made it to Earth, Diver reported to Metalhawk on his progress across the globe. Diver, Phoenix and Metalhawk attempted to stop Overlord from meeting with BlackZarak above Tokyo, but were easily bested by the mighty Decepticon. BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space Diver later helped scan the planet for Decepticon activity Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction and alongside his fellow Pretenders, battled the Decepticon Pretenders in Latin America. God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?

Diver played no hand in the final battle between the Autobots and Decepticons in the Alps, during which Ginrai successfully destroyed BlackZarak and Devil Z, inadvertently bringing the Transformers' Transtectors to life. The now-living Transtectors departed Earth to rejoin their respective factions in space, but Diver and the other Pretenders elected to remain on Earth and continue their lives there. A Battle... and Then...

Later, Diver discovered the first Autobot Godmaster, Ginrai, in America, and arranged for him to travel to Japan to meet the other Autobots. Diver himself, along with Lander and Phoenix, did not make the trip, remaining at the Ocean Research Institute, where they received a communication from Metalhawk, who was worried because Ginrai seemed to be late. Diver told him not to worry, as Ginrai resembled a "hero," and when the Autobot Godmaster finally arrived, Metalhawk understood Diver's words—Ginrai was the spitting image of Optimus Prime! On Scene! Our Savior's Name Is Ginrai!

Diver later joined with the other Autobots in racing to thwart a mysterious Decepticon scheme, only to be briefly bamboozled by holographic images of legendary Decepticons before Ginrai dealt with them. Burn, Chokon! New Commander Super Ginrai! Diver and the other Pretenders dropped off the radar after this battle, appearing only briefly to monitor a two-pronged attack by the Decepticons against Earth.

His Pretender shell is a human in bulky black robotic armor, which can store his robot mode inside. The helmet and belt are used to help keep the shell locked closed. The shell also has the only noteworthy difference between Diver and Waverider; Diver's human head has brown hair, while Waverider is a blonde.
