Let's see what you can see... This article is in need of images.

This article is about the American Pretender. For his Japanese counterpart from Masterforce, see Gilmer.

Submarauder is a Decepticon Pretender in the Generation 1 continuity family.

Much like his fellow Pretender, Iguanus, Submarauder has developed an intense connection with the creatures represented by his outer Pretender shell. He enjoys spending extensive periods of time alone underwater, observing all that the living seas have to offer. Interrupting his musings is a serious mistake, as his explosive temper will be instantly turned on any Autobot who dares enter his domain. Unfortunately for his fellow Decepticons, they too will suffer the same fate if they disturb the creatures of the deep.
