- Splashdown is an Autobot Pretender from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The legend of the weathered old mariner lives on in Splashdown. A veritable treasure chest of nautical warfare experience, no seas are too violent for Splashdown. Indeed, for one who has honed his skills in oceans of mercury and liquid lead, taming the H20 of Earth is like paddling in a pond to him.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
A member of Fortress Maximus's crew aboard the Steelhaven, Splashdown volunteered for the synthoplasmic conversion process Optimus Prime had stolen from Scorponok, transforming him into an Autobot Pretender. With Optimus Prime coordinating the Pretenders' first battle with the Decepticons, Splashdown and his teammates easily overwhelmed the opposing force. Pretender to the Throne!
As a naval command officer, Splashdown accompanied Landmine and Cloudburst in trailing the Decepticon Pretenders to an off-shore oil rig. With Landmine and Cloudburst concentrating on their own dance partners, Splashdown presumably disabled Iguanus behind the scenes. The three Decepticons were disarmed, and the Autobots planned to take them back to Cybertron to stand trial for their crimes. The Chain Gang!
e-HOBBY comics
After an investigation of recent attacks on human ships by biomechanical sea monsters, the Autobots tracked the beasts to an underwater Decepticon base, and Splashdown and his fellow Pretender Diver were tasked with transporting a submarine carrying troops into enemy territory. Splashdown was initially boggled by the lack of guards, but was reassured when he ran into two Constructicons. Together with Cliffjumper and Sideswipe, he defeated and interrogated them, then reported to Optimus Prime that the monsters were indeed created by the Decepticons, but had gone berserk and broken out of their control. MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.
Toys
Generation 1
- Splashdown (Pretender, 1988)
- Accessories: Helmet, belt, " Electron-Sword", "Harpoon Gun", blaster, shield
- Splashdown transforms into an extraordinarily vague-looking Cybertronic hovercraft. In this mode, his small blaster pegs on the top of his shield, which completes the vehicle mode. His robot form fits inside his Pretender shell, which can also mount the shield on its left arm. Similarly to Sky High and Groundbreaker, the shell's chest plate features an animal-inspired design, in Splashdown's case, a shark's head.
Notes
Foreign names
- French: Aquachef (Canada)
