'''Hydradread''' uses science... uses it for ''evil''! He spends a lot of time alone, planning ways to do terrible things to just about anybody. Despite his relative newness to the field of evil, even veteran Decepticons find themselves surprised at the depths to which he'll plunge in the name of sick fun.<br />

The [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtroopers]] were part of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon's]] forces dispatched on [[Earth]] to basically wreck stuff until [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] came to stop them. Hydradread, having apparently found humans too small to be suitable targets, was eagerly anticipating going up against some [[Autobot|Autobots]]... but instead, they found themselves up against [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who had come to take leadership of the Decepticons back from Bludgeon. The Stormtroopers attacked, and Hydradread was the first to get blasted by Megatron. {{storylink|War Zone}}<br />

===IDW comics continuity===<br />
Serving under [[Turmoil]], Hydradread helped [[Drench (G1)|Drench]] restrain [[Drift (G1)|Deadlock]] when he got too rebellious and attempted to overthrow their leader. However, he was caught off-guard when Turmoil accidentally killed Drench, and the prisoner escaped. {{storylink|Drift issue 1}}<br />

*'''Hydradread''' (Stormtrooper, 1993)<br />
**''Accessories'': Water cannon<br />
<br />
: Hydradread transforms into a modified 1991 Mitsubishi HSR-III supercar. His rear bumper contains a bellows that can be filled with [[water]], [[Water-squirting gimmick|shooting]] it from the nozzle that ends up on his car-mode roof. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon in robot mode.<br />
<br />
: His hood/chest piece is coated in [[color changing]] paint; when it gets warm, it turns from its normal blueish tint to a pale off-white.<br />

==Notes==<br />
[[Image:HydradreadWasHydrodread.jpg|thumb|250px|]]<br />
*A piece of internal documentation containing Hydradread's packaging copy once turned up on [[eBay]], evidently from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee. This document shows that Hydradread's name was intended to be ''Hydro''dread; the write-up has the "A" in his name crossed out by hand and replaced with an "O". Evidently this correction never made through the system, as our boy here made it all the way to production as Hydradread.<br />
