| This article is about the Armada Mini-Con. For the Power Core Combiners Mini-Con, see Waterlog (PCC). |
- Waterlog is a Mini-Con from the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Waterlog is the Sea Mini-Con Team's most well-rounded warrior, despite his slowness, both mentally and physically. He's an old-fashioned pirate, and not just in his speech and mannerisms. When he's not in battle, he's constantly on the search for "booty", be it energon or other resources to make the Sea Team more powerful.
Fiction
Armada cartoon
Waterlog and the Sea Mini-Con Team were captured at an unknown point by the Decepticons on Earth. They briefly accompanied Tidal Wave into battle with the Autobots as part of Thrust's plot to lure the heroes into using the Requiem Blaster. After the Decepticons determined the Blaster wasn't present, however, Tidal Wave and the Sea Team quickly pulled out from the battlefield. Sacrifice
On the moon, Waterlog and the other Mini-Cons were put to work by Megatron constructing a new space cruiser. When the Autobots lay siege to the Decepticon base, Perceptor sought out the Mini-Cons and tried to get them to accompany him to freedom. Their servility programming was too strong to overcome at first. After Waterlog and the others saw Perceptor valiantly risking his life against Megatron, however, the Mini-Cons shrugged off the chains of their oppression, and fled to the warp gate chamber where the Autobots transported them to safety on Earth. Rescue
Waterlog and the Mini-Cons all chose to willingly follow the Autobots into space aboard the Axalon, fighting alongside them against the Decepticons. Depart
