- Sonar is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Sonar loves being one of a handful of Transformers who can travel across the sea. He loves it so much, in fact, that he takes advantage of being one of the few that can traverse water to taunt those who can't (after leaving them soaking wet), from juuuuuuuuust out of range of their weapons. Wideload has become his favourite target as of late.
Sonar's kind of a tool.

Revenge of the Fallen
- Sonar (Scout Class, 2010)
- Part of the fifth wave of Revenge of the Fallen Scout-class figures, Sonar is black and blue redeco of Depthcharge, transforming into a stealth warship that shares a basic shape with the US Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship concept. In a departure from this design, Sonar's rear helipad is replaced with dual missile racks that become shoulder mounted in robot mode. Ironically, the sculpted details on this mold would greatly decrease the stealth characteristics of an actual ship.
- His official battle mode, which was based upon a concept image by artist Ben Procter, would apparently allow him to transform into robot mode while still on the water and float on large boat-feet.
- This mold would also have been used for the unreleased 2010 Transformers line Drydock toy.
