Accessories: "Harpoon Launchers", 2 "harpoon" projectiles

A redeco of Transformers: Hunt for the Decepticons Sea Spray, Transformers: Reveal the Shield Deep Dive transforms into a transport hovercraft with rolling wheels underneath. The rear deck (featuring a fold-down ramp) can carry most Scout Class vehicles, but is specifically intended for the Breacher mold. Deep Dive's turbofans can rotate and tilt at several angles, and feature little fans inside that can spin (only by manual manipulation, as there is no gimmick mechanism linked to them). Deep Dive's harpoon launchers attach on the sides of his air cushion skirt. Additionally, Deep Dive has C joints, and in this case, it's the ladder rungs on his shoulders.

In robot mode, Deep Dive's design resembles that of a scuba diver, with a breather mask and "goggles" on his head, details resembling scuba air tanks (actually part of his vehicle mode air cushion) on his back and fold-out flippers on his feet. His harpoon launchers, using 5mm posts, can be left attached to the underside of his arms as they were in vehicle mode, or placed in his hands. As he is part of the "Reveal the Shield" promotion, he has a Rubsign on his chest.

His pre-production stock photography depicts him as mis-transformed, with the flaps on his shoulders left open.

He shipped in the second wave of Reveal the Shield Voyager Class toys, at two per case. His companions were Lugnut and Solar Storm Grappel. This toy and all Reveal the Shield Voyager Class toys received poor distribution in the United States, selling online for several months prior to being sold at clothing discount stores like Ross, T.J. Maxx, and Marshalls. When they showed up at those three stores, they sold for less than half the normal retail prices.

This mold was also used to make Timelines/Shattered Glass Octopunch.
