Changes: Seacon (BWII)

Latest revision as of 17:10, 20 September 2009

The name or term Seacon refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Seacon (disambiguation).

The Seacons are scurvy Predacon space pirates in the Beast Wars II portion of the Beast Era continuity they is!

Seacons bw — "Link up me Hearties yo ho!"

The Space Pirate Seacons scour the spaceways for treasure and power. Though they are Predacon by creation, they hold no true affiliation with Galvatron and his crew. Led by Halfshell, they prove themselves troublesome for Maximal and Predacon alike!

The team consists of:

They can combine to form God Neptune.

Note: The term "Seacons" does not appear on the packaging for the toy but does appear in their catalogue advertisements and in the fiction-itself.

Beast Wars II cartoon[]

Beast Wars II comic[]

Beast Wars bios[]

Transmetal 2 Cybershark "honed his skills while bounty hunting a rogue band of Cybertronian space pirates."

God Neptune (Multi-pack, 1998)

Japanese ID number: D-21

BW2GodNeptune toy — That's Neptune. *He's king of the sea.*

Sold only as a boxed set of five toys, the Seacons are redecos of most of the Generation One Seacon team; not only does the set not include a redeco of Nautilator, but the weapons and gun-mode stands for the individuals are also not included. Since the set uses the Scramble City style of combination, the body and limbs are interchangeable with similar-build combiner teams.

For unknown reasons, a great number of unboxed God Neptune sets—lacking all of their accessories, including combiner parts—ended up available on the secondary market. These went for considerably less than the "complete" releases, naturally.

I cannot remain in this unacceptable operational status!

-The bio for [[Transmetal 2]] [[Cybershark]] mentions that he "''honed his skills while bounty hunting a rogue band of Cybertronian space pirates''." Considering the timing in the appearance of the two toys and Hasbro's then-concurrent attempts to put in fan nods, it is generally thought the Seacons were meant to be these pirates.

-*'''Halfshell''' (1998)
-[[Image:BW2Halfshell_toy.jpg|right|thumb|"Turtle Power"]]
-: Available only in a five-piece Ultra-level multi-pack with his teammates, Halfshell transforms into a mechanical tortoise, a [[redeco]] of the [[Generation 1]] [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]] [[Snaptrap (G1)|Snaptrap]]. A lever on his back makes the large cannons over his beast-mode head move back and forth in a "pom-pom" reciprocating motion. He forms the torso of the combined mode God Neptune, but since the mold uses the [[Scramble City]] style of combination, he can use any limb-robot of similar construction. Halfshell lacks the large rifle from the original release of the mold, however.
-: This mold was also used to make [[Turtler]]. It was also slated to be released as ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Snaptrap (UT)|Snaptrap]], as part of an [[exclusive]] [[Piranhaking (UT)|Piranhaking]] multi-pack that as of now remains unreleased.
-*'''Scylla''' (1998)
-[[Image:BW2Scylla_toy.jpg|left|thumb|No wonder Scuba dislikes her. But, <I>WHAT</I> is Bighorn thinking?!!]]
-: Available only in the God Neptune multi-pack, Scylla is a [[redeco]] of the [[Generation 1]] [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]] [[Tentakil (G1)|Tentakil]], transforming into an ambulatory squid-monster. Like her fellow God Neptune partners, Scylla lacks her individual weapons and and "weapon stand" parts. Being part of the [[Scramble City]] design, she can form the arm or leg to any compatible super robot, but her standard placement is as the left leg to God Netpune.
-: This mold was also used to make the ''[[Masterforce]]'' Seacon [[Tentakil (Masterforce)|Tentakil]]. It was also slated to be released as ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Tentakil (UT)|Tentakil]], as part of an [[exclusive]] [[Piranhaking (UT)|Piranhaking]] multi-pack that as of now remains unreleased.
-*'''Coelagon''' (1998)
-[[Image:BW2Coelagon_toy.jpg|right|thumb|A coelecanth with legs. What'll they think of next?...]]
-: A [[redeco]] of the [[Generation 1]] [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]] [[Skalor]], Coelagon transforms into a robotic piranha-ish fish with limbs. However, he lacks the rifles and stand-pieces of the original version of the mold. He was available only as part of the God Neptune gift set with his teammates. Since he uses the [[Scramble City]] style of combination, he can form the arm or leg to any combined orbot of similar construction, but his nominal place is as the left arm of God Neptune.
-: This mold was also used to make [[Gulf]]. It was also slated to be released as ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Archerbot (UT)|Archerbot]], as part of an [[exclusive]] [[Piranhaking (UT)|Piranhaking]] multi-pack which as of now remains unreleased.
-*'''Terrormander''' (1998)
-[[Image:BW2Terrormander_toy.jpg|left|thumb|...Oh, but of coarse! A <i>walking sting ray</i>]]
-: A [[redeco]] of the [[Generation 1]] [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]] [[Seawing (G1)|Seawing]], Terrormander transforms into a robotic manta ray with legs. However, he lacks the rifles and stand-pieces of the original version of the mold. He was available only as part of the God Neptune gift set with his teammates. Since he uses the [[Scramble City]] style of combination, he can form the arm or leg to any combined robot of similar construction, but his nominal place is as the right leg of God Neptune.
-: This mold was used to make [[Kraken]]. It was also slated to be released as ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Seawing (Energon)|Seawing]], as part of an [[exclusive]] [[Piranhaking]] multi-pack that as of now remains unreleased.
-*'''Sea Phantom''' (1998)
-[[Image:BW2SeaPhantom_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Dada...dada... dada dada dada dada dada dada dada dada DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...!]]
-: A [[redeco]] of the [[Generation 1]] [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]] [[Overbite (G1)|Overbite]], Sea Phantom transforms into a robotic shark with limbs. However, he lacks the rifle and stand-pieces of the original version of the mold. He was available only as part of the God Neptune gift set with his teammates. Since he uses the [[Scramble City]] style of combination, he can form the arm or leg to any combined orbot of similar construction, but his nominal place is as the right arm of God Neptune.
+: Sold only as a boxed set of five toys, the Seacons are [[redeco]]s of ''most'' of the [[Generation One]] [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]] team; not only does the set not include a redeco of [[Nautilator (G1)|Nautilator]], but the weapons and gun-mode stands for the individuals are also not included. Since the set uses the [[Scramble City]] style of combination, the body and limbs are interchangeable with similar-build combiner teams.
