- The Aquaspeeders are an Autobot subgroup from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Aquaspeeders are a group of four Autobots armed with weapons that fire high-pressure liquids. They consist of:
- Speedstream, the fearless leader
- Aquafend, the deep-cover spy
- Deluge, the "tough bot"
- Jetstorm, the hot-shot defensive expert
The team's evil Decepticon counterparts are the Stormtroopers.
Toys
Generation 1 & 2
- Aquaspeeders (1993/1994)
- Sold individually, the Aquaspeeders are a squad of racing vehicles, each with a bellows-fed water squirting "cannon". Each robot's hood/chest is covered in color changing paint, turning pale when hit with warm water (or being left out in the sun).
- They were only available in various European markets and Australia during the two-year "transitional" period marking the changeover from the original toyline to Generation 2; in the original line's final year (1993), the toys were given redesigned Autobot and Decepticon symbols, but it wasn't until 1994 that "Generation 2" appeared on the packaging.
- The Aquaspeeders were redecoed into the Generation 2 Color Changers for American markets.
