A member of the Noble Force Mini-Con Team, Hydroplane fights alongside the powerful Leobreaker and the Autobots to free the Jungle Planet from the dragon Scourge's cruel grip.
Created by the Cyber Planet Key of the Jungle Planet itself, Hydroplane is a warrior-philosopher capable of mentally manipulating water to amazing effects. He'd prefer use his power to water plants, but if people are in danger, he has no qualms about causing a torrent - of pain!<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>
