Terrormander
- Terrormander is a Seacon from the Beast Wars II portion of the Beast Era.
The youngest of the Seacon Space Pirates, Terrormander (テラマンダー Teramandā) usually gets stuck with the unenviable grunt work his seniors wouldn't be caught dead doing. You know; swabbing the deck, scraping the barnacles, hauling the mizenmast and all that other stuff. Terrormander in turn channels his resentfulness at being the "new guy" into unmotivated laziness. His shirking of essential duties hasn't exactly improved Halfshell's opinion of him, nor has it endeared him to the rest of the crew. Another side effect of the callowness of youth, Terrormander is the least respectful of the elder Seacon Coelagon, usually being the first to ignore his meandering yarns.
Terrormander reserves any and all enthusiasm for when it's time to go to battle. His manta ray mode can generate powerful vibration waves capable of shaking apart even the hardiest of targets. It's this quality which ensures his place among the Seacon ranks, even if his refusal to pull his own weight brings his comrades to their wit's end.
Terrormander combines with his fellow Seacons to form God Neptune.

The Space Pirate Seacons! The Tentacular Scuba Megastorm's Reckoning Showdown in the Sea Face the Setting Sun The Final Battle The Artificial Planet Nemesis
Sailing through space, the Seacons came across the Jointrons, and both teams fused into their respective combined forms. Their battle was interrupted by a mysterious spaceship that squarely collided with God Neptune and broke him up into the individual Seacons, who were sent flying off. Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!
When the Maximals were on their way to reach the rapidly approaching Nemesis, the Seacons served as its first line of defense and forced the Maximals to crash on a nearby asteroid. There, they fought the confused Maximals. When Lio Junior, Santon, and Skywarp combined to form Magnaboss, the Seacons did their own combination in response and the two combined warriors battled. God Neptune gained the upper hand, but, with the other Maximals' help, Magnaboss was able to strike God Neptune with an Angolmois Ball, which knocked out the Seacons. Coming to, they regained their senses and Halfshell explained that the Nemesis's evil influence had made them aggressive. The Seacons saw the Maximals off and Halfshell declared the asteroid their new spaceship. Revenge of the Space Pirates

- God Neptune (Ultra, 1998)
- Japanese ID number: D-21
- A redeco of the Generation 1 Seacon Seawing, Terrormander transforms into a robotic manta ray with legs. However, he lacks the rifles and stand-pieces of the original version of the mold. He was available only as part of the God Neptune gift set with his teammates. Since he uses the Scramble City-style of combination, he can form the arm or leg to any combined robot of similar construction, but his nominal place is as the right leg of God Neptune.
- 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.
- This mold was used to make Kraken. This toy was later repurposed as Generation 1 Seawing in the Collectors' Club magazine comic arc Beast Wars Shattered Glass.
Notes
- Terrormander's name is partly wordplay on "manta", if one couldn't tell.
