  • Sea Spray (Voyager Class, 2010)
Sea Spray was repurposed from Transformers Sea Spray.
Released in the first wave of 2010 Hunt for the Decepticons Voyager class toys, Sea Spray transforms into a transport hovercraft with rolling wheels underneath. The rear deck (featuring a fold-down ramp) can carry most Scout class vehicles, though it is intended to be used with Breacher. The Deluxe Class Hailstorm also fits snugly. Sea Spray's turbofans can rotate and tilt at several angles, and feature little fans inside that can spin (only by manual manipulation, as there is no gimmick mechanism linked to them). Sea Spray's harpoon launchers attach on the sides of his air cushion skirt.
In robot mode, Sea Spray's design resembles that of a scuba diver, with a breather mask and "goggles" on his head, details resembling scuba air tanks (actually part of his vehicle mode air cushion) on his back and fold-out flippers on his feet. His harpoon launchers, using 5 mm posts, can be left attached to the underside of his arms as they were in vehicle mode, or placed in his hands. As with other toys in the 2010 line, Sea Spray has C joints, and in this case, it's the silver ladder rungs on his shoulders.
TakaraTomy's release of Sea Spray features more vivid colors in an attempt to match Generation 1 Seaspray. Nearly all of the plastic colors on the TakaraTomy Seaspray are different from the Hasbro version, even the white. Of note is the yellow replacing gold, dark gray replacing light gray, and a more saturated blue replacing the muted blue.
Sea Spray's mold was also used to make Reveal the Shield Deep Dive and Timelines/Shattered Glass Octopunch.
