- Revealed at OTFCC 2004, Piranhaking was to be a Walmart-exclusive gift set redecoed from the Generation 1 Seacons for the Energon toyline. Walmart, however, ended up passing on the exclusive, likely due to low sales of previous exclusives to the chain. This was one of several proposed exclusive toys that ended up in development limbo during that year.
- At this time, there were no concrete plans to release the set, though at BotCon 2005 Hasbro representatives said they were still trying to find an outlet for it. It was announced in late 2007 that the set would see release through the Fun Publications Transformers Collectors' Club in late-June of 2008.

Notes
- Originally, as shown at OTFCC 2004, Piranhaking was to have his own, original box-art. However, the box-art used on the Timelines Piranacon release ended up being a recolored version of his original art instead of the newly commissioned piece. Piranhaking's unused art appears to have been drawn by Dan Khanna.
