G1 SEASPRAY 1985

Seaspray first appeared in series 2 and as with all these figures he appeared from no where.  Seaspray talks in a strange way like he is underwater and he gurgles after every sentence.
 His first episode was " Dinobot Island part 2" In this he pushed  a pirate ship through a time warp.
In appeared in other episodes time to time. He is not mobile on land being a hovercraft . He is most at home on water. In "Golden Lagoon" He is crushed by Ramjet and Thrust and Preceptor capture him. Thrust is invincible after his swim in the golden lagoon.
he got taken to the Decepticon base at the bottom of the ocean. Seaspary and Percepter are forced to fight for the entertainment of the Decepticons. They nearly escape but Megatron comes back to stop them. beach comber eventually helps them.
He did get his spot light episode called " Sea Change" It is an implausible episode. It was quite silly. It should have some reality to it.
His final appearance was in series 3 in the episode "Thief in the night" He was sent to the bottom of the ocean to find Tripticons remains.

In the comics it is explained how the Minibots came to earth. The Decepticons on earth built a space bridge and this scientist called Spanner was built into it. The Minibotss hijacked it and blew it up after they went to earth. This was a Mercy killing as well for poor old Spanner.

His hovercraft mode is not bad with no kibble. You would not know it was a Transformer.

You can roll him along.

He is a nice little model.His propellers spin.

The colour scheme is attractive.


His robot mode has no feet but the front of the hovercraft so no wonder he cannot deal with being on land.
His chest plate is low down so makes him look fat.
His head sculpt is not bad and his mouth plate has detail but no facial features as such.
He has the propeller blades sticking up above his head. Shame you cannot fold them down.

His articulation is basic.


I recommend him but I would not pay more than five pounds for him.
