Yeah I have to agree that he is one of my favs from beast machines, he has a flight mode, Ground mode (robot mode I guess) and sea mode, so he's an all around mean machine. His totall dedication on going after Rampage made him even more interesting!

I'm wondering if the "Shark Gun" is meant to be a Remora Gun. Remoras are known for latching onto rays for a mutual symbiotic relationship.

@Isharu9 жыл бұрын
Depthcharge was my very first beast wars figure and come to think of it my first transformer. For a good portion of my childhood he went everywhere with me and i never let him out of my sight. Damn i miss beast wars even if the CGI was a little lacking it was a great series and come on robots that transformed into animals whats not to like. Beast wars deserves to be revived. I still remember the trauma of the first time i seen Depthcharge die in the series. It's was like a part of me died with him.

5:27 thats a very good gimmick for the hands. i got one purchased from Ebay recently. its an incomplete one, think the tail, disks and shark gun are missing but its not much of a concern. the pic showed the thruster hands but i didnt know the hands themselves were hidden behind them. i was thinking it was much like the 1:144 Gundam hand ball joints. i wonder if that tail really helps with stability? sometimes the Gundam front lean does the trick when heavy backpacks are involved. its a shame he had to sacrifice himself to stop rampage but the only other maximal death that hit me as hard was the Air razor/Tigertron saga.

They love to do black repaints of Transformers and correct me if I'm wrong but Kenner was the name on the packaging during Beast Wars, right? At the time Kenner also had the DC license, so why did they never do a black and silver repaint of this and make a con or whatever exclusive Black Manta crossover with this?

Unfortunatly, Depth Charge was one of the worst Transformers figures I ever owned, keep in mind the one I had was a "Universe" re-release figure that had unnecisarily tight joints, didn't come with the tail/sword, had a bizzare paint job, no launchable discs, and, to top it all off, incomplete directions.
