Hit the decks a-runnin' boys, an' turn those guns around!

The Sea Mini-Con Team are ruthless raiders of the sea, experts in naval combat, and—unfortunately for the Autobots—allied with the Decepticons, and the mammoth Tidal Wave in particular. No ocean is safe from them!

The Sea Mini-Con Team is composed of...

In the Navy... yes, you can sail the seven seas!

The Sea Mini-Con Team was captured at an unknown point by the Decepticons on Earth. They briefly accompanied Tidal Wave into battle with the Autobots as part of Thrust's plot to lure the heroes into using the Requiem Blaster. After the Decepticons determined the Blaster wasn't present, however, Tidal Wave and the Sea Team quickly pulled out from the battlefield. Sacrifice

On the moon, the Sea Team members, alongside the other Decepticon Mini-Cons, were put to work by Megatron constructing a new space cruiser. When the Autobots lay siege to the Decepticon base, Perceptor sought out the Mini-Cons and tried to get them to accompany him to freedom. Their Servility Programming was too strong to overcome at first. After they saw Perceptor valiantly risking his life against Megatron, however, the Mini-Cons shrugged off the chains of their oppression, and fled to the warp gate chamber where the Autobots transported them to safety on Earth. Rescue

The members of the Sea Mini-Con Team all chose to willingly follow the Autobots into space aboard the Axalon, fighting alongside them against the Decepticons. Depart
