- Submarauder is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon" title="Decepticon">Decepticon</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pretender" title="Pretender">Pretender</a> from the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_1_%28franchise%29" title="Generation 1 (franchise)">Generation 1</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Continuity_family" title="Continuity family">continuity family</a>.
[[Image:|right|250px|thumb|"What do they got, a lot of sand? We've got a hot crustacean band!"]] Much like his fellow Pretender, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Iguanus_%28G1%29" title="Iguanus (G1)">Iguanus</a>, Submarauder has developed an intense connection with the creatures represented by his outer Pretender shell. He enjoys spending extensive periods of time alone underwater, observing all that the living seas have to offer. Interrupting his musings is a serious mistake, as his explosive temper will be instantly turned on any Autobot who dares enter his domain. Unfortunately for his fellow Decepticons, they too will suffer the same fate if they disturb the creatures of the deep.
- French-Canadian name: Sousmaraudeur

- Submarauder (Pretender, 1988)
- Accessories: Pretender shell, sword, "torpedo rifle", shield, belt
- Submarauder transforms into a cybertronic submarine thing
that's vague and purple. His gun is mounted on his back in this mode. As with most <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pretender" title="Pretender">Pretenders</a>, Submarauder has a rather generic looking robot mode with no distinct details and is rather monochromatic, but less so than his mostly purple vehicle mode.
- His outer Pretender Shell is a sea creature guy with gills, a
head-mounted dorsal fin, and scales. The shell wields Submarauder's sword and gun, and can mount his shield on his forearm.
- This toy was released in Japan without changes as <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gilmer" title="Gilmer">Gilmer</a>.
