Waterlog is a Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
I won't rest, 'til I see ya hangin' from the yardarm!

Waterlog is the Sea Mini-Con Team's most well-rounded warrior, despite his slowness, both mentally and physically. He's an old-fashioned pirate, and not just in his speech and mannerisms. When he's not in battle, he's constantly on the search for "booty", be it energon or other resources to make the Sea Team more powerful.

Fiction

[edit]

Armada cartoon

[edit]

Waterlog and the Sea Mini-Con Team were captured at an unknown point by the Decepticons on Earth. They briefly accompanied Tidal Wave into battle with the Autobots as part of Thrust's plot to lure the heroes into using the Requiem Blaster. After the Decepticons determined the Blaster wasn't present, however, Tidal Wave and the Sea Team quickly pulled out from the battlefield. Sacrifice

On the moon, Waterlog and the other Mini-Cons were put to work by Megatron constructing a new space cruiser. When the Autobots lay siege to the Decepticon base, Perceptor sought out the Mini-Cons and tried to get them to accompany him to freedom. Their servility programming was too strong to overcome at first. After Waterlog and the others saw Perceptor valiantly risking his life against Megatron, however, the Mini-Cons shrugged off the chains of their oppression, and fled to the warp gate chamber where the Autobots transported them to safety on Earth. Rescue

Waterlog and the Mini-Cons all chose to willingly follow the Autobots into space aboard the Axalon, fighting alongside them against the Decepticons. Depart

"Waterlog"… "Float"… Why does this poor guy's name have to sound poop-related?
(Hasbro version pictured)
(Takara version pictured)
  • Sea Mini-Con Team (Basic, 2003)
  • Takara ID number: MM-15
  • Takara release date: August 14, 2003
  • Accessories: Missile
  • Known designers: Takashi Kunihiro (Takara){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Released in the fourth wave of Armada Mini-Con three-packs, Waterlog transforms into a hovercraft of undetermined, possibly made-up model. In both modes, he has a pressure-launch missile launcher (the packaging and stock photography give him the square-fin missile, as seen right, while the instructions give him the angled-fin missile).
As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx" socket on the underside of his vehicle mode that allows him to attach to larger toys with compatible Powerlinx plugs, activating special gimmicks on the larger toys when attached to a "live" plug. Waterlog also features knees that bend in exactly the right place needed to make him the right height for sitting in the fold-down seats in Tidal Wave's hover carrier portion. His "butt" is also the perfect size for fitting into the designated square channel molded in the seats. Given the Sea Mini-Con Team is marketed as being linked with Tidal Wave in most media, this was likely intended.
The Takara Legends of the Microns release, part of the line's sixth wave, has a markedly different color scheme from the Hasbro version, a rare thing for Mini-Con three-packs in this line. The maroon is replaced with a much more vibrant red, and the lavender is replaced with yellow.
He was available only as part of the Sea Mini-Con Team three-pack with his teammates Oceanglide and Stormcloud.
This mold was also used to make Freeboot and Hover.

A limited-edition (yet still standard retail) redeco of the Sea Team was released in Japan as part of the "Exdimensions", in the eighth wave of Legends of the Microns product. The entire team was given a purple and medium-gray deco, matching up quite nicely with the Takara version of Tidal Wave.

An unaltered version of the original Sea Team was released as part of an Energon-series "Mini-Con 6-pack" with the Adventure Mini-Con Team.
This set was one of three 6-packs available at US Toys"R"Us stores, and the only one of the three that was not a "shared exclusive" with Walmart.

Notes

[edit]
  • Even though the Takara coloration of the Sea Team was never released by Hasbro, character artwork in those colors was used both on Hasbro's web site and on the Energon 6-pack.
