- Sharkticon is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon" title="Decepticon">Decepticon</a> in the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_%28franchise%29" title="Energon (franchise)">Energon</a> portion of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron_Trilogy" title="Unicron Trilogy">Unicron Trilogy</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Continuity_family" title="Continuity family">continuity family</a>.
[[Image:|right|250px|thumb|Your fanfiction gives me life.]] Sharkticon was recruited to work in space reconnaissance, but he is even more effective in space or underwater combat. His fellow Decepticons don't care what his assignment is, so long as it keeps this reeking, repellent, repulsively cruel degenerate far away from them. He is highly maneuverable and adaptable in his vehicle mode, and a powerful combatant in either mode.

He was assigned by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Alpha_Quintesson" title="Alpha Quintesson">Alpha Quintesson</a> to join <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Slugslinger_%28Energon%29" title="Slugslinger (Energon)">Slugslinger</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tidal_Wave" class="mw-redirect" title="Tidal Wave">Mirage</a> (who had been recently reformatted from Tidal Wave) on a mission to abduct <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Kicker_Jones" class="mw-redirect" title="Kicker Jones">Kicker Jones</a> and beat up on some <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Omnicon" title="Omnicon">Omnicons</a>. The plan literally went belly-up as Sharkticon suffered severe energy damage when the abducted Kicker unleashed his "special gift" of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_%28Energon%29" title="Energon (Energon)">energon</a> manipulation, and was seemingly abandoned by his cohorts. Thanks, guys.
Later, Sharkticon attempted to infiltrate <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ocean_City" title="Ocean City">Ocean City</a> from below. Having blasted his way through the clinging, jellyfish-like security system, Sharkticon ran across Kicker and the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_Saber" title="Energon Saber">Energon Saber</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mini-Con" title="Mini-Con">Mini-Cons</a>, who knocked him back into the drink. Sharkticon's re-telling of his failure to Megatron was very unconvincing.
As you can see, Sharkticon had a troubled youth.

Sharkticon was part of an <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Eclipse-Team" title="Eclipse-Team">Eclipse-Team</a> mission to steal refined <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_%28Energon%29" title="Energon (Energon)">energon</a> from an <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot" title="Autobot">Autobot</a> installation on <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a>. He and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Slugslinger_%28Energon%29" title="Slugslinger (Energon)">Slugslinger</a>
snuck in through the sewers, but fell into an Autobot ambush.
Sharkticon tried to flee, leaving the wounded Slugslinger behind, but
was shot down by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Omega_Supreme_%28Energon%29" title="Omega Supreme (Energon)">Omega Supreme</a>.

- Sharkticon (Deluxe, 2004)
- Sharkticon transforms into a Cybertronic submarine with dimly
animalistic styling. (He lacks any kind of "jaws", despite what his official bio says.) His small gun turrets are movable, plus his side panels can extend outward to reveal spring-loaded missile launchers.
- It has been noted by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Aaron_Archer" title="Aaron Archer">Aaron Archer</a> that the vehicle mode's stylings were inspired by the Decepticon starship <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nemesis_%28G1%29" title="Nemesis (G1)">Nemesis</a>.
