'''Depthcharge''' is an expert in a field that is neglected by most Autobots and [[Decepticon]]s—ocean tactics. Using his stealth boat mode, he is also a skilled spy on the water.

:Depthcharge transforms into a stealth warship that shares a basic shape with the US [http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/products/littoral-combat-ship.html 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 [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|another prominent boat-former]], Depthcharge stands out in his toyline as having articulated thumbs. They're not much good for holding anything.

:This toy doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Depthcharge (BW)|of the same name]]. This mold was also used to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Sonar (ROTF)|Sonar]] and the unreleased [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] line [[Drydock (TF 2010)|Drydock]] toy.

* Depthcharge was based upon one of several Transformer concept designs created by artist [[Ben Procter]] for the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']] movie. Based on the Swedish [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visby-class_corvette ''Visby''-class corvette] and standing 150 feet tall in robot mode, he would have been the largest movieverse character yet.<ref name="procter">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter's concept designs for ROTF]</ref>
