Seacons!



The Seacons are a Decepticon merge team from pretty late in Transformers' day. Disguise wise the team felt it best to not bother emulating boring things like cars or military hardware, but instead terrifying sea monsters. Not even actual sea dwelling creatures mind. Nope. Nope. They covert about Earth disguised as fictional robotic ocean horrors; occasionally merging into a giant, terrible, Sea-God thingy. Quite obviously the Seacons are completely excellent. What child doesn't want to play with grotesque brine bothering behemoths? Unfortunately, US Transformers animation was dead in the water when this 1988 squad reared their head. Not so though in Japan! Feast your eyes on this sunken treasure:
