Man-O-War
- Man-O-War is a Guardian from the GoBots continuity family.
Admiral Man-O-War is a heroic Guardian. He originally turned into an Iowa-class battleship, but when disguised as a Cybertronian, he instead takes the form of a hovercraft. He's a legendary hero you'd be glad to see coming, unless you actually know him because he's a condescending arsehole to anyone he feels is wrong or slacking off.

Cy-Kill considered Man-O-War's World War II-based alt mode a good example of how GoBots have more varied transformations than Cybertronians. Renegade Rhetoric, 14/10/2015
Timelines
Admiral Man-O-War was a long-time veteran of the Guardians, receiving promotions back in the early days when they needed to shore up their military fast. Treds was in Man-O-War's platoon once and was berated daily.
When the universe was at risk, Man-O-War was part of the second group of cross-dimensional investigators. He arrived in an alternate Utah with a new body and quickly set to work pissing off group leader Path Finder, whose plan of "ask locals for help" he found lacking, and Treds, who he thought was doing a crap job of keeping the Renegades in line. Man-O-War was forced to go along with Path Finder's plan but put himself in the advance aerial team, openly so his leadership skills could be used to make contact with Autobots but secretly to avoid dirt roads.

Notes
- As with Bad Boy, Path Finder, and Treds, Buggyman and Man-O-War's designs in "Spatiotemporal Challengers" are based on prototype versions of Generation 1 Mini Vehicles - in Man-O-War's case, a cyan version of Seaspray.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Man-O-War (マン・O・ウォー Man Ō Wō)
