Transmetal Depth Charge

Alliance: Maximal
Identification: Metal Stingray

Comments: I honestly can't tell you why I like Depth Charge so much. His robot form is a bit bland and "vehicle" mode is nothing to write home about, however....I find myself transforming him over and over.

First thing you'll notice on him is the "silver" transmetal color. It stands out! His Stingray mode is extremely well put together and looks very realistic. In this form, you can move his tail in various directions as well as shoot the yellow discs from his mouth (via the fin at the top). He also comes with a little pet.....he's a recon shark. I call him Sharky. He is small and attaches to DC's belly. He has two missiles that shoot out of his mouth. Wahoooo!!

Transforming Depth Charge is a lot of fun. His arms, legs, and back fold in goofy ways but all accomplish the same thing. Unfortunately, the finished product (that being his robot form) is a little plain. It looks average in design. However, it at least resembles his TV counterpart.

His third mode is also average. His wings fold out and he looks like a jet Again...nothing great but at least identical to his "real" self.

Even though his alternate modes are a bit on the plain side, I really like Depth Charge. He has neat firing weapons, great transformational steps, and a wonderful beast mode (with sharp colors). Worth the money if anything......

 




A magnificent giant soars through the oceans in regal silence. Depth Charge was commissioned by Optimus Primal to act as a first line of defense against Predacon undersea aggressors. Though he would rather study military strategies than execute them, Depth Charge is a dedicated fighter and inspired leader. Nuclear cybershark drone conducts recon missions, doubles as a reinforcement in battle, and fires dual proto torpedoes. Intermediate space - cruiser mode can achieve planetary orbit or withstand the deepest oceanic pressures. As a robot, he fires shrapnel grenades from his chest and can maintain a force field for five mega cycles. With unshakable nerves and Energon-cutlass in hand, Depth Charge leads his brave platoon into battle.
