	After a period of embarrassments and failed plots, Halfshell led the Seacons to [[Gaia]] on their [[photon sailer]], seeking [[Angolmois Energy]] that they could sell for wealth. Once they landed on the planet, they packed capsules with the Angolmois Energy from an [[Sunken well site\|underwater well amidst some ruins]]. When [[Scylla]] spotted [[Diver (BW)\|Diver]] and [[Scuba]] spying on them, Halfshell went off to take care of the problem personally. After being [[Fishing\|fished up]] by [[Tasmania Kid]] and [[Bighorn (BW)\|Bighorn]], Halfshell chased the two into land and met [[Lio Convoy (BW)\|Lio Convoy]]. Finding Lio Convoy unwilling to let the Seacons plunder the Angolmois Energy, the Seacon attacked the [[Maximal]]s and eventually combined with his crew to form [[God Neptune]]. God Neptune became distracted when Diver and Scuba stole the Seacons' ship. After catching up to it, the Angolmois Energy within exploded as per the Maximals' plans, and God Neptune split into his components. Recovering at the bottom of the sea, Halfshell vowed revenge. {{storylink\|The Space Pirate Seacons!}}		After a period of embarrassments and failed plots, Halfshell led the Seacons to [[Gaia]] on their [[photon sailer]], seeking [[Angolmois Energy]] that they could sell for wealth.

	While repairing the damage to the ship, Halfshell and most of the Seacons saw the investigating [[Dirge (BW)\|Dirge]] and [[Thrust (BW)\|Thrust]] flying overhead. Not willing to trust any strangers on this planet, they shot at the jets. Halfshell ordered a combination, but they were impeded by Scylla's absence and the captain wondered where she had gone off to. When a band of Maximals came by, Halfshell had the Seacons merge into God Neptune, but Scylla was missing again and the combiner sans a leg took a tumble. When they finally found the errant squid, they combined and faced off against the Maximals, who eventually retreated. The combiner was about to give chase when Scylla disengaged yet again. At the end of the day, they realized that there were two factions vying for control of the planet and this conflict could help them get the parts they needed to repair their ship. {{storylink\|The Tentacular Scuba}} To this goal, Halfshell and [[Megastorm (BW)\|Megastorm]] made a deal: 1/8 of the [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]]' stock of Angolmois Energy per Maximal defeated, with 3/8 for Lio Convoy in particular. Megastorm didn't realize this would add up to 8/8 in the end and concocted a plot to take out both the Seacons and the Maximals with bombs hidden in the [[Decoy energy transmitter\|transmitters]] that would lure the Maximals into fights with the Seacons. Halfshell's opponent in particular was Scuba, but Dirge and Thrust's flubbing caused the bombs to go off prematurely and Halfshell lost Scuba in the confusion. At the end of the day, Halfshell still wasn't clear just what went on and just wrote off Megastorm, who received the brunt of the bombs' explosions, as clumsy. {{storylink\|Megastorm's Reckoning}}		While repairing the damage to the ship, Halfshell and most of the Seacons saw the investigating [[Dirge (BW)\|Dirge]] and [[Thrust (BW)\|Thrust]] flying overhead.

	While the [[Seacon (BW)\|Seacons]] were stuck on [[Gaia]] because their [[photon sailer]] was out of energy, [[Scylla]] got engaged. [[Halfshell]] professed to be happy for her and to want her to have marital bliss, but in truth he wanted to be rid of her. To this end, he had the crew set up an elaborate wedding ceremony, which proceeded as per script until the groom, [[Bighorn (BW)\|Bighorn]], showed himself. Due to a mix-up, Scylla had expected [[Scuba]] and violently rejected Bighorn while embracing Scuba. As Bighorn threatened Scuba for stealing his love, Halfshell believed that both men were interested in Scylla and had them duel for her heart. This ended nearly in a beatdown for Scuba, but Scylla got between him and Bighorn. Halfshell was not amused that the duel was interrupted, but it became a secondary concern when the [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]] attacked. To fight back, the Seacons combined into [[God Neptune]], who was quickly felled by Predacon firepower, but Bighorn, Scylla, and [[Scuba]] were able to send the attackers fleeing.

	Spurred by [[Galvatron (BW)\|Galvatron]]'s insults about their incompetence, the Seacons set up a plot to destroy the Maximals through Bighorn's crush on Scylla. Luring and forcing the Maximals out to sea, where they had the advantage, the Seacons attacked. Halfshell dragged Lio Convoy underwater when he tried to rescue his comrades and the turtle delivered a brutal beating on the commander. [[Apache]] leapt to his commander's rescue and blasted Halfshell away. When the Maximals regrouped on a floating rock, the Seacons surrounded them and combined into God Neptune. However, thanks to [[Bigmos]] and [[Tonbot]]'s surprise assistance, Lio Convoy was able to use his Lion Typhoon to defeat the combiner. {{storylink\|Showdown in the Sea}}		Spurred by [[Galvatron (BW)\|Galvatron]]'s insults about their incompetence, the Seacons set up a plot to destroy the Maximals through Bighorn's crush on Scylla.

	The Predacons again tried to make a deal with Halfshell (a sheet of [[super death steel]] per Maximal) and the negotiator, [[Starscream (BW)\|Starscream]] was too clever to be swayed into a deal more favorable to the Seacons. Halfshell later came across a three-way battle between the [[Combatron (BW)\|Combatrons]], the [[Jointron]]s, and two of his crew.

	While repairing the damage to the ship, Halfshell and most of the Seacons saw the investigating [[Dirge (BW)\|Dirge]] and [[Thrust (BW)\|Thrust]] flying overhead. Not willing to trust any strangers on this planet, they shot at the jets. Halfshell ordered a combination, but they were impeded by Scylla's absence and the captain wondered where she had gone off to.

	After a period of embarrassments and failed plots, Halfshell led the Seacons to [[Gaia]] on their [[photon sailer]], seeking [[Angolmois Energy]] that they could sell for wealth.

	While repairing the damage to the ship, Halfshell and most of the Seacons saw the investigating [[Dirge (BW)\|Dirge]] and [[Thrust (BW)\|Thrust]] flying overhead. Not willing to trust any strangers on this planet, they shot at the jets. Halfshell ordered a combination, but they were impeded by Scylla's absence and the captain wondered where she had gone off to. When a band of Maximals came by, Halfshell had the Seacons merge into God Neptune, but Scylla was missing again and the combiner sans a leg took a tumble. When they finally found the errant squid, they combined and faced off against the Maximals, who eventually retreated. The combiner was about to give chase when Scylla disengaged yet again. At the end of the day, they realized that there were two factions vying for control of the planet and this conflict could help them get the parts they needed to repair their ship. {{storylink\|The Tentacular Scuba}} To this goal, Halfshell and [[Megastorm]] made a deal: 1/8 of the [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]]' stock of Angolmois Energy per Maximal defeated, with 3/8 for Lio Convoy in particular. Megastorm didn't realize this would add up to 8/8 in the end and concocted a plot to take out both the Seacons and the Maximals with bombs hidden in the [[Decoy energy transmitter\|transmitters]] that would lure the Maximals into fights with the Seacons. Halfshell's opponent in particular was Scuba, but Dirge and Thrust's flubbing caused the bombs to go off prematurely and Halfshell lost Scuba in the confusion. At the end of the day, Halfshell still wasn't clear just what went on and just wrote off Megastorm, who received the brunt of the bombs' explosions, as clumsy. {{storylink\|Megastorm's Reckoning}}		While repairing the damage to the ship, Halfshell and most of the Seacons saw the investigating [[Dirge (BW)\|Dirge]] and [[Thrust (BW)\|Thrust]] flying overhead.

	Spurred by [[Galvatron (BW)\|Galvatron]]'s insults about their incompetence, the Seacons set up a plot to destroy the Maximals through Bighorn's crush on Scylla. Luring and forcing the Maximals out to sea, where they had the advantage, the Seacons attacked. Halfshell dragged Lio Convoy underwater when he tried to rescue his comrades and the turtle delivered a brutal beating on the commander. [[Apache]] leapt to his commander's rescue and blasted Halfshell away. When the Maximals regrouped on a floating rock, the Seacons surrounded them and combined into God Neptune. However, thanks to [[Bigmos]] and [[Tonbot]]'s surprise assistance, Lio Convoy was able to use his Lion Typhoon to defeat the combiner. {{storylink\|Showdown in the Sea}}		Spurred by [[Galvatron (BW)\|Galvatron]]'s insults about their incompetence, the Seacons set up a plot to destroy the Maximals through Bighorn's crush on Scylla.
