| "'''Archerbot'''" would have been an aquatic fighter for the Decepticons, and a member of the Piranhacons. He would have combined with his teammates to form the powerful [[Piranhaking]].

| *'''Piranhaking''' (Gift set)
| |
| | |
| : Revealed at [[OTFCC 2004]], Piranhaking was to be a [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] gift set [[redeco]]ed from the [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Seacon (G1)#Toys|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 [[Piranacon (G1)#Timelines|the set would see release]] through the [[Fun Publications]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] in late-[[June]] of [[2008]].

| ==Notes==
| |
| * "Archerbot" was the name given by [[Hasbro]] for the set's presentation, due to "'''Skalor'''", not being cleared for [[trademark]]. The Hasbro presenters put the fake joke name "Archerbot" in its place, a reference to the former brand-manger [[Aaron Archer]]. The Hasbro team stated this as a joke almost immediately, but this naturally did not stop the screaming indignation on various online forums at the time.
