Hydroplane

Hydroplane is a Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

A member of the Noble Force Mini-Con Team created by the Cyber Planet Key of the Jungle Planet itself, Hydroplane is a warrior-philosopher capable of mentally manipulating water to amazing effects. Though he'd prefer use his power to water plants, Hydroplane freely fights alongside the powerful Leobreaker and the Autobots to free the Jungle Planet from the dragon Scourge's cruel grip. When people are in danger, he has no qualms about causing a torrent—of pain!

• Platinum Element (Plantium Micron, 2005)

Platinum Element is a redeco of the Recon Mini-Con Team member Six-Speed, transforming into a Toyota GT-One Le Mans style of race car. He was a Japanese Toys"R"Us exclusive, available on July 28th, 2005 with the purchase of Wing Saber. Reportedly, each store was limited to only 30 of each promotional Platinum Mini-Con.

The same mold is used by Socket, Guardian Speed and Brake-Neck.

Notes

• Amusingly enough, though they are Mini-Con "partners" to Leobreaker, Leobreaker cannot Powerlinx with the Platinum Micron, nor do they have weapon modes for him to use.
• "Hydroplaning" occurs when a car hits a thin sheet of water that causes it to lose direct contact with the ground and, thus, likely spin out or crash. It's a very bad thing to have happen when you're a Le Mans-style race car.

Foreign names
