Depthcharge ewas repurposed from Revenge of the Fallen Depthcharge.
Depthcharge transforms into a stealth warship that shares a basic shape with the US Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship concept. In a departure from this design, Depthcharge's rear helipad is replaced with dual missile racks that become shoulder mounted in robot mode. Ironically, the sculpted details on this mold would greatly decrease the stealth characteristics of an actual ship.
His official battle mode, which was based upon a concept image by artist Ben Procter, would apparently allow him to transform into robot mode while still on the water and float on large boat-feet. While his instructions indicate that the rear portions of his feet should remain in vehicle-mode configuration for this mode, leaving a gap when viewed from behind, they are sculpted with an additional tab that lets them click into place flush with the bottoms of the hull halves.
Like another prominent boat-former, Depthcharge stands out in his toyline as having articulated thumbs. They're not much good for holding anything.
This mold was also used to make Revenge of the Fallen Sonar and the unreleased 2010 Transformers line Drydock toy.
