| The name or term "Depth Charge" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Depth Charge (disambiguation). |
- Depthcharge is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Depthcharge is an expert in a field that is neglected by most Autobots and Decepticons—ocean tactics. Using his stealth boat mode, he is also a skilled spy on the water.
Toys
Revenge of the Fallen
- Depthcharge (Scout Class, 2009)
- Japanese ID number: RA-12
- Depthcharge transforms into a stealth warship that shares a basic shape with the US Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship concept. In a departure from this design, Depthcharge's rear helipad is replaced with dual missile racks that become shoulder mounted in robot mode. Ironically, the sculpted details on this mold would greatly decrease the stealth characteristics of an actual ship.
- His official battle mode, which was based upon a concept image by artist Ben Procter, would apparently allow him to transform into robot mode while still on the water and float on large boat-feet.
- This mold was also used to make Revenge of the Fallen Sonar.
Notes
- Depthcharge was based upon one of several Transformer concept designs created by artist Ben Procter for the Revenge of the Fallen movie. Based on the Swedish Visby class corvette and standing 150 feet tall in robot mode, he would have been the largest movieverse character yet.[1]
