The Piranhacons would have been aquatic fighters for the Decepticons, capable of combining to form the powerful Piranhaking.

Unreleased

Revealed at OTFCC 2004, the Piranhacons were to be a redeco of the Generation 1 Seacon team. Since they used the Scramble City style of combination, they would have been compatable with any other combiner robots of the same style.

They were to be available only in a Wal*Mart exclusive Piranhaking set for the Energon line. However, Wal*Mart ended up passing on the exclusive, likely to to low sales of previous exclusives to the chain. (Though in all fairness, Wal*Mart had almost a half-dozen different Universe exclusive toys come out in the span of a month.) This was one of several proposed exclusive toys that ended up in development limbo during that year.

At this time, there are no concrete plans to release the set, though at BotCon 2005 Hasbro representatives said they were still trying to find an outlet for it. It is possible that the set might see release through the Fun Publications Transformers Collectors' Club, as that venue had saved Spacewarp from limbo.

This mold set was also used to make God Neptune and King Poseidon.
