God Neptune
| This article is about the Beast Wars II combiner. For the Classics combiner, see God Neptune (BWSG). |
- God Neptune is a Predacon combiner from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
For space pirates like the Seacons, pillaging and plundering often encounters considerable resistance from those who would rather keep their stuff. When the opposition is too much for the Seacons to handle individually, they combine into God Neptune (ゴッドネプチューン Goddo Nepuchūn): A towering powerhouse and their ultimate ace-in-the-hole.
Halfshell, leader of the Seacons, forms the dominant personality in this fusion, with each Seacon more or less maintaining autonomy over the limbs they form. While this allows God Neptune to boast a level of intelligence not seen in most combiners, it comes at a price. The flighty fembot Scylla will often abandon her position in the combination to pursue her own interests (almost always Scuba), leaving God Neptune to hop around on one leg and at the mercy of his enemies.

The Seacons arrived from space to plunder the planet Gaia of its Angolmois energy. When Lio Convoy's Maximals opposed Halfshell and his crew, they assembled as God Neptune to punish the opposition. Lio Convoy survived by diverting this massive opponent, having Scuba and Diver steal the pirates' ship. God Neptune abandoned his battle with the other Maximals to chase after his vessel. When he caught it, however, Scuba and Diver detonated the Angolmois capsules on board, damaging the ship and blowing God Neptune back into his component parts. The Space Pirate Seacons!
God Neptune and the Seacons were new arrivals on Gaia when Artemis and Moon compared the relative strengths of the Maximals and Predacons, and so they weren't included in the rankings. Who Is the Strongest Warrior!?
Buzzed by Predacons and confronted by Maximals, the Seacons tried on three separate occasions to form God Neptune and swat away these pests, but Scylla kept disappearing. Her sudden infatuation with the Maximals Scuba caused her to shirk her duties and had a tendency to leave God Neptune short-handed...or, rather, short-footed and without a giant peg-leg in sight. The Tentacular Scuba
Spurred into action by Galvatron's mockery, the Seacons lured the Maximals out into the ocean until they were trapped on a small bit of rock. They formed God Neptune to finish the job, splitting the Maximals' rock in twain with one strike of the Neptune Sword. As God Neptune moved in for the kill, however, the Insectrons arrived to defend their friends. Tonbot and Bigmos injured the surprised God Neptune, distracting him long enough for the Insectrons to lift up Lio Convoy who administered the coup-de-grace. Showdown in the Sea
A comedy of errors soon followed, as often happens when the Jointrons are involved, leading into a conflict between God Neptune and Tripledacus. The combiners fought sword-to-seven years sword, until Lio Convoy and the Maximals blasted the cliff under God Neptune's feet, sending him back into the sea. Face the Setting Sun
As Halfshell and the Seacons prepared to leave Gaia, Halfshell challenged Lio Convoy to a one-on-one fight, with the energy they needed to depart at stake. He merely neglected to mention the Seacons' "one" in the bout would be God Neptune. Lio Convoy took the unexpected opponent in stride, however, and used his maneuverability on land to keep the combiner off-balance. Even when God Neptune temporarily got Lio Convoy back into the water, he returned to land and surer footing soon enough. Lio Convoy buried God Neptune in a rockslide right before a sneak attack by Megastorm set off an Angolmois chain reaction on the island chain. Seizing the opportunity (and the energy), Halfshell split up and made his way back to the Photon sailer with the energy necessary for departure. The Final Battle
The Space Pirates ran afoul of the Jointrons in Gaia's orbit, prompting a conflict between God Neptune and Tripledacus. Their battle was interrupted by the arrival of a massive teleport gate caught in Gaia's gravity, knocking the two combiners aside and back into their respective components. Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!
By inadvertently sailing near the artificial planet Nemesis, the Seacons succumbed to the evil influence of Galvatron and became his slaves. At Galvatron's direction, they intercepted the Maximals on their way to Nemesis and forced them down to do battle on an asteroid. When Lio Junior summoned the combined power of Magnaboss, Halfshell and the Seacons formed God Neptune to counter him. The two combiners fought sword to sword, with God Neptune gaining an advantage over his younger opponent. Eventually, the Maximals dog-piled on God Neptune, holding him still long enough for Magnaboss to unleash a massive Angolmois Ball, blasting the Seacons back into their individual forms.

Toys
Beast Wars
- God Neptune (Multi-pack, 1998)
- Japanese ID number: D-21
- Accessories: Sword, super robot head, shell-shield/chestplate, 2 foot-plates, left & right fists
- Sold only as a boxed set of five toys, God Neptune is a redeco of most of the Generation 1 Seacon team, combining Halfshell (torso), Coelagon, Scylla, Sea Phantom, and Terrormander. Since the set uses the Scramble City-style of construction, the body and limbs are interchangeable with similar-build combiner teams.
- The set does not include a redeco of Nautilator, and almost all of the weapons and gun-mode stands for the individuals are also missing.
- 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 toy was later repurposed as Classics God Neptune in the comic arc Beast Wars Shattered Glass.
