- Hydradread is a Decepticon Stormtrooper from the Generation 1 continuity family.
This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Hydradread uses science... uses it for evil! He spends a lot of time alone, planning ways to do terrible things to just about anybody. Despite his relative newness to the field of evil, even veteran Decepticons find themselves surprised at the depths to which he'll plunge in the name of sick fun.
Fiction
Fleetway Generation 2 comics
The Stormtroopers were part of Bludgeon's forces dispatched on Earth to basically wreck stuff until Optimus Prime came to stop them. Hydradread, having apparently found humans too small to be suitable targets, was eagerly anticipating going up against some Autobots... but instead, they found themselves up against Megatron, who had come to take leadership of the Decepticons back from Bludgeon. The Stormtroopers attacked, and Hydradread was the first to get blasted by Megatron. War Zone
TransTech
Hydradread was seen among the inhabitants of the multiversal hub city of Axiom Nexus. Transcendent: Part 4
IDW comics continuity
Serving under Turmoil, Hydradread helped Drench restrain Deadlock when he got too rebellious and attempted to overthrow their leader. However, he was caught off-guard when Turmoil accidentally killed Drench, and the prisoner escaped. Drift issue 1
Toys
Generation 1 & 2
- Hydradread (Stormtrooper, 1993)
- Accessories: Water cannon
- Hydradread transforms into a dome-topped sports car of undetermined model. His rear bumper contains a bellows that can be filled with water, shooting it from the nozzle that ends up on his car-mode roof. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon in robot mode.
- His hood/chest piece is coated in color changing paint; when it gets warm, it turns from its normal blueish tint to a pale off-white.
Notes
- A piece of internal documentation containing Hydradread's packaging copy once turned up on eBay, evidently from the collection of a former Hasbro employee. This document shows that Hydradread's name was intended to be Hydrodread; the write-up has the "A" in his name crossed out by hand and replaced with an "O". Evidently this correction never made through the system, as our boy here made it all the way to production as Hydradread.
Foreign names
- Dutch: Hydroshark
- French: Hydroshark
- Italian: Idrosqualo
