| '''Archerbot''' would have been an aquatic fighter for the Decepticons, and a member of the [[Piranhacon (UT)|Piranhacons]]. He would have combined with his teammates to form the powerful [[Piranhaking (UT)|Piranhaking]].

| ''('''Note''': "Archerbot" is by no means the name that [[Hasbro]] intended to put on the final toy. At the time of the set's presentation, the individual Piranhacon's intended name, "'''Skalor'''", had not yet cleared trademark, so the Hasbro presenters put the fake joke name "Archerbot" in its place, a reference to lead-designer now brand-manger [[Aaron Archer]]. The Hasbro team stated this as a joke almost immediately, but this naturally did not stop the screaming indignation on various online forums.)''

| Revealed at [[OTFCC 2004]], Archerbot was to be a [[redeco]] of the [[Generation 1]] [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]] [[Skalor]], transforming into a robotic coelacanth with arms and legs. Since he used the [[Scramble City]] style of combination, he could be used to form the arm or leg of any compatable super robot, though his apparent standard configuration would have been as the right leg to Piranhaking. He can also convert into a field artillery piece that Piranhaking can hold as a rifle (or any combiner, really, provided it uses the Piranhaking fist.)

| He was to be available only in a Wal*Mart [[exclusive]] Piranhaking set for the ''Energon'' line. However, Wal*Mart ended up passing on the exclusive, likely to to low sales of previous exclusives to the chain. (Though in all fairness, Wal*Mart had almost a half-dozen different ''[[Universe]]'' exclusive toys come out in the span of a month.) This was one of several proposed exclusive toys that ended up in development limbo during that year.

| | |
| At this time, there are no concrete plans to release the set, though at [[BotCon 2005]] [[Hasbro]] representatives said they were still trying to find an outlet for it. It is ''possible'' that the set might see release through the [[Fun Publications]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]], as that venue had saved [[Astrotrain (Timelines)|Spacewarp]] from limbo.

| This mold was also used to make [[Coelagon (BW)|Coelagon]] and [[Gulf]].
