In both [[alternate mode\|vehicle]] and [[robot mode]]s, he has a double-barreled [[Water-squirting gimmick\|water-cannon]] that uses a plastic bellows to store water.

	: There is a variation to Drench's [[water-squirting gimmick\|water-cannon]]; one version has painted-gold gun-tips, while later releases have unpainted yellow tips and uses a larger bellows.		: There is a variation to Drench's [[water-squirting gimmick\|water-cannon]]; one version has painted-gold gun-tips, while later releases have unpainted yellow tips and uses a larger bellows.

	* At [[BotCon 2008]], the concept behind that toy was modified to become ''Shattered Glass'' [[Sideswipe (SG)\|Sideswipe]]. A ''Shattered Glass'' Drench was included in Sideswipe's backstory both as a nod to the toy's roots and as an explanation for his obviously Drench-inspired deco. As the ''Shattered Glass'' Seekers use different molds with similar color schemes (a reversal of the usual Decepticon [[Seeker (body-type)\|Seeker]] pattern), the implication was Drench would have been a totally different mold than Sideswipe.		* At [[BotCon 2008]], the concept behind that toy was modified to become ''Shattered Glass'' [[Sideswipe (SG)\|Sideswipe]].
