| The name or term "Seacon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Seacon (disambiguation). |
- The Seacons are scurvy Predacon space pirates in the Beast Wars II portion of the Beast Era continuity they is!
The Space Pirate Seacons scour the spaceways for treasure and power. Though they are Predacon by creation, they hold no true affiliation with Galvatron and his crew. Led by Halfshell, they prove themselves troublesome for Maximal and Predacon alike!
The team consists of:
They can combine to form God Neptune.
(Note: The term "Seacons" does not appear on the packaging for the toy but does appear in their catalogue advertisements and in the fiction-itself.)

Beast Wars II Manga
Beast Wars Toyline
The bio for Transmetal 2 Cybershark mentions that he "honed his skills while bounty hunting a rogue band of Cybertronian space pirates." Considering the timing in the appearance of the two toys and Hasbro's then-concurrent attempts to put in fan nods, it is generally thought the Seacons were meant to be these pirates.
This theory was later confirmed by Ben Yee in personal conversation.
Toys
Beast Wars II
- God Neptune (Multi-pack, 1998)
- Japanese ID number: D-21
- Sold only as a boxed set of five toys, God Neptune is a redeco of most of the Generation 1 Seacon team; not only does the set not include a redeco of Nautilator, but the weapons and gun-mode stands for the individuals are also not included. Since the set uses the Scramble City style of contruction, the body and limbs are interchangable with similar-build combiner teams.
- For unknown reasons, a great number of unboxed God Neptune sets --lacking all of their accessories, including combiner parts-- ended up available on the secondary market. These went for considerably less than the "complete" releases, naturally.
- (The complete set of Generation 1 Seacon molds (all six members with all accessories) were slated to be released as an exclusive set during Energon as Piranhaking, but as of now remains unreleased.)
