Zone cartoon

[edit]

Years later, when the supernatural entity known as Violengiguar took command of the Decepticons, his first act was to recruit Nine Great Demon Generals from Decepticon history. The Seacons in the form of King Poseidon were selected to be one of those Generals and King Poseidon was given the rank of Oceanic Fish General as well as new power and weaponry to make him an even greater threat than before.

King Poseidon was sent to Earth along with Devastator, Trypticon, and Predaking to steal the Zodiac necessary for Violengiguar's schemes. The mysterious energy source was located beneath the planet's surface by new Autobot commander Dai Atlas and stolen by Devastator, but as Dai Atlas attempted to chase him down, King Poseidon struck, emerging from a nearby subterranean lake and ensnaring Dai Atlas with a chain. Devastator handed the Zodiac off to King Poseidon, who returned to the surface with it, where he was attacked by Sonic Bomber and forced to hurl the Zodiac out of his reach. Unfortunately for the villains, Dai Atlas was the one who caught it, prompting Trypticon to fire a beam of Energon Z at the heroes. The Energon Z interacted with the Zodiac, which empowered Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber with its energies, transforming them into powerful new "Zone Modes". The firepower of the two Autobots' new modes was directed upon King Poseidon and Trypticon, who were destroyed when they exploded dramatically. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!

Zone manga and story pages

[edit]

Years after the conclusion of the Masterforce War, King Poseidon was one of nine Decepticons selected by the supernatural new emperor of the Decepticon, Violengiguar, to become one of his Great Demon Generals. Appointed "Oceanic Fish General" and equipped with new powers and weapons to make him stronger than before, King Poseidon was first unleashed against the Autobots on the ocean planet of Wall. Hiding beneath the waves alongside Trypticon, King Poseidon emerged to battle Autobot commander Star Saber, but was beaten back by a concentrated attack from Erector, Skywave, Missile Bull, and Overload. Zone Part 3

Later, King Poseidon, Trypticon, Predaking and Devastator were directed to attack Earth in search of the mysterious "Zodiac", in order to create the super-energy Violengiguar needed for his schemes. They were pursued to the planet by the Autobot Powered Masters Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber but while, Dai Atlas was occupied in a subterranean battle with Devastator, King Poseidon located and absconded with the Zodiac. Dai Atlas pursued him back to Earth's surface, where both sides grappled for possession of the Zodiac until Trypticon fired a beam of Energon Z at the Autobots. The Energon Z interacted with the Zodiac and unleashed its energies, transforming Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber into heavily armed new "Zone Modes". The two heroes blasted the generals with their powerful new weapons, winning the day. Zone

The Generals later schooled Metrotitan and the Metrosquad in the ways of evil, making them formidable opponents to the Powered Masters. Zone Part 7

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]

Super-God Masterforce Overbite
The Seacons were released in Japan in 1988. Just like with their identical Hasbro counterparts, each Seacon can transform into robot or sea creature, with the Seacon drones—Overbite, Gulf, Lobclaw, Kraken, and Tentakil—capable of transforming into weapon forms. All six can combine into King Poseidon, with the sixth member becoming the weapon, via Scramble City-style.
Due to the Seacon drones being mass-produced drone Transformers, one can army-build their own endless Seacon legion like the cartoon, by using figure copies of the aforementioned drones.

Generations Selects

[edit]
Generations Selects Gulf
The Seacons return in the Generations Selects line, with many of them being retools of the Power of the Primes Terrorcons, Tentakill being the exception. The hands and feet for King Poseidon are specially molded with full articulation, and homaging the original toys, there are six Seacons, one voyager and five deluxes. Turtler can form King Poseidon's torso, while a "selected" (see what we did there?) 4 deluxes form the limbs. The combiner hands developed for the set are tooled to connect into a deluxe combiner peg, allowing the remaining deluxe figure to form a gun for the giant Decepticon. All six include melee weapons and guns that combine into a giant sword and a giant gun for King Poseidon respectively.
The Seacons were released in Japan as TakaraTomy Mall exclusives, both could be ordered individually and in three waves of 2.

Notes

[edit]
  • Until the Super-God Masterforce release of the Seacons, every Decepticon-aligned combiner team sold in Japan had had their group suffix changed from -con to -tron or -ron (i.e., Terrorcon to Terrortron) in order to line up with "Destron", the Japanese name for the Decepticons. However, for some reason this suffix change did not happen with the Seacons, making them the only Decepticon combiner team in Generation 1 to have the same group name in both English and Japanese markets. Their Japanese name is also always presented in the plural form; Turtler is the "Seacons Commander", for example.
  • The team has the distinction of having their own image song: the bizarrely cheerful and cheerfully bizarre "See See Seacons".
  • Despite never utilizing them in the cartoon, the Seacons all had individual robot mode models made that were different to the US Seacon character models used in the Marvel comics and commercials.
  • At some point very early into production, the Space Pirate Seacons were going to use the Super-God Masterforce Seacon models in the Beast Wars II cartoon. Evidence of this was found in a collection of production materials that featured print-outs of the Masterforce Seacon models (including the unused robot mode models), where the Masterforce names were crossed out and replaced with the Space Pirate Seacons' names in red pen.<ref>Early Beast Wars II Seacon model sheets at "Transformers at the Moon"</ref>
