- Hydroplane is an Animatron Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
A member of the Noble Force 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![1]

Notes
- Amusingly enough, though they are Mini-Con "partners" to Leobreaker, Leobreaker cannot Powerlinx with the Platinum Micron toys, 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
- Japanese: Platinum Element (プラティナムエレメント Puratinamu Eremento)
