Fiction

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

Astro-Sinker served Banzai-Tron in the Builders' Navy during the Grand Uprising. They defended the Great Rust Sea from the Resistance Navy, trying to blockade the Yuss Straits to prevent maritime access to Iacon. Astro-Sinker and the Deep Sea Patrol coordinated their underwater attacks with Banzai-Tron's traditional naval engagement. Unfortunately, the Beast Upgrade made the Resistance adapted to underwater combat in ways a mere submarine alt mode could not. A collection of oxide sharks, m-rays and warwhales destroyed 95% of the Builders' subsea Micromasters. Derailment

Timelines

[edit]
  • Astrotrain (Multi-pack, 2007)
The Timelines Astro-Sinker toy doubles as the Beast Wars: Uprising character Astro-Sinker.
A redeco of the Giant Planet Mini-Con Team member Deepdive, Astro-Sinker transforms into a submarine of undetermined model. This mold is one of the few Mini-Con molds to have a Powerlinx peg as well as socket. He was only available as part of the Astrotrain set (which also came with Starcatcher, Astro-Hook, and Astro-Line), the first toy set exclusive to the Fun Publications Official Transformers Collectors' Club.
This toy was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Submarauder, and this mold was also used to make Seawave and Diveplane,
