- Deep Cover is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the Collector's Edition toyline).
Deep Cover (ディープカバー Dīpu Kabā) is part of the Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program set up between the Autobots and the human police forces. He and his brother Clamp Down work with local authorities to stem the tide of human crime. His many years of undercover work have taken their toll on him; though he remains vigilant and a fierce defender of the innocent, he sometimes comes across as very weary, struggling with inner demons.
He has quite the impressive bag of tricks, as he can not only project illusions, but is capable of shrinking himself down to 1/40th his normal size for brief periods of time. These special powers are perfect for the solo infiltration missions that have become his specialty.
Fiction

Deep Cover was one of many countless "offworlders" living in Axiom Nexus. Gone Too Far

Toys
Collector's Edition
- Deep Cover (Autobot, March 2003)
- ID number: 92
- Accessories: Rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles
- An e-HOBBY exclusive available only in a set with Clamp Down, Deep Cover is a redeco of the original Sideswipe toy, transforming into a Lamborghini Countach LP500S. As he was released only in Japan, his spring-loaded missile launcher is fully operational. Several decals that were factory-applied on the original version were replaced by painted tampographs, like his headlamps.
- Pre-orders for the set closed on January 10, 2003, with the toys shipping out in March.
- This mold is also used for Tigertrack and - with added roof lights - Clamp Down and Red Alert.
Notes
- Deep Cover's coloration is based on a pre-Transformers Diaclone coloration of the toy. This coloration was originally only available in the "Powered Convoy DX set", which also contained the "Powered Convoy" toy (pre-Ultra Magnus) and an exclusive red redeco of the "F-1 Ligier JS-11" stock car (pre-Mirage).
- Deep Cover's shrinking ability puts him at about the same height as his Diaclone-mold toy, making him one of the few Transformers to have a true 1:1 scale toy.
