| The name or term "Drydock" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Drydock (disambiguation). |
- Drydock is an Autobot from the Robots in Disguise and live-action film series continuity families (via the 2010 Transformers toyline).

Drydock isn't nearly as stealthy as he'd like to be. He probably wouldn't have liked Undertow, if he'd ever met him.

201?)

- A redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Depthcharge, Transformers Drydock transforms into a stealth warship that shares a basic shape with the U.S. Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship concept with a USCG style livery. In a departure from this design, Drydock'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. Drydock's 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.
- This sculpt was also used to make Revenge of the Fallen Sonar.
- Drydock would have been available in a two-pack with Undertow, a Cybertron Shortround redeco, but for a long time, the only information on this set came from a set of instructions[1] on Hasbro's website. Like all Transformers instructions, they're in black and white, making it impossible to tell how Drydock was to be colored. His alternate mode's deco was eventually revealed when Makoto Ono posted his 3D renders for various toys from the 2010 Transformers toyline that were (or were intended to be) used as those toys' package art on TFW2005.[2]
