- Boater is an Autobot from the Victory era of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Boater (ボーター Bōtā) is sort of the little brother of the Rescue Patrol Team, ironic both because of their microstature and their equivalent ages. He is a bit of an odd bot out, though, which probably explains it. He loves to tease Holi about having a girlfriend but also wonders what it would be like to have one himself. Something to do with nuts and bolts, best not to think about it. The loooooooooooooooooooooove boat.
Fiction
Victory cartoon
- Voice actor: Aya Hisakawa (Japanese)
Zone cartoon, comic and story pages
When Victory Saber initiated the "Zone Project", the Rescue Patrol helped rebuild planet Micro into planet Zone. To counter this threat, Violen Jiger began conquering planets in order to create his own Decepticon Zone. The Race Car Patrol and all other Micromaster teams were then sent on patrol across the galaxy, specifically to planets where their unique skills could do the most good. Zone Part 1
When Bruticus attacked the planet Feminia, the Rescue Patrol were among several units of Micromasters deployed to stop him. Through teamwork, they proved triumphant. Zone Part 2
When the Nine Great Demon Generals attacked planet Feminia en masse, the Rescue Patrol Team helped evacuate the planet of as many lifeforms as possible. However, they were unable to save Victory Saber, who sacrificed himself to rescue the last of the humans. The Rescue Patrol were later seen cleaning up the Zone Base on planet Zone after another attack by the Demon Generals. Still later, they could be seen celebrating when Victory Saber (who was rescued by the Powered Masters) inaugurated Dai Atlas as new Supreme Commander. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas! Zone
When the Powered Masters flew off to the Tenth Planet for their showdown with Violen Jiger, all the Micromaster teams took command of Zone and vowed to keep it safe in their Commander's absence. Zone Part 10
Toys
Zone
- Rescue Patrol Team (Micromaster Patrol 4-pack, 1990)
- Japanese ID number: C-331
- Identical to the Hasbro Micromaster Seawatch, Boater transforms into a blue hydrofoil. He was sold as part of the Rescue Patrol Team, along with Holi, Fire, and Pīpō.
- Rocket Base (Micromaster base, 1990)
- Japanese ID number: C-330
- The Micromaster Rocket Base set (the Takara release of Countdown's base) included Boater and the other members of the Rescue Patrol, as well as Countdown's Japanese counterpart, Moonradar.
Notes
- In the Victory anime, Holi and Boater (who are gang-molded) were consistently drawn and colored as if their black plastic parts had instead been produced in white. (Possibly Takara had plans at one point to release them in these colors, so that Holi would more closely resemble a Japanese highway patrol car. In Zone, however, both were finally colored to match their toys.)
Foreign names
- English: Seawatch (Omni Productions dub)
