Seaclone


 * The Seacons are a Decepticon subgroup from the Super-God Masterforce portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Seacons (シーコンズ Shīkonzu), save for their leader, Turtler, are a horde of mindless robotic drones. They were created, based on the sea life of Earth, by Blood and the other Decepticon Pretenders to serve Devil Z and Overlord.

The Seacons consist of:


 * Turtler (leader)
 * Lobclaw
 * Overbite
 * Kraken
 * Gulf
 * Tentakil

They can combine to form King Poseidon.

Super-God Masterforce cartoon
The Seacons appeared here as a swarm rather than a team. The five smaller robots were each several 'clones' of the same body-type, only ever appearing in beast mode. Turtler, the only 'regular' Transformer amongst them could combine with any five distinct Seacons to form King Poseidon.

Years later, when the supernatural entity known as Violen Jiger took command of the Decepticons, his first act was to recruit Nine Great Demon Generals from Decepticon history. The Seacons in the form of King Poseidon were selected to be one of those Generals and King Poseidon was given the rank of Aquatic General as well as new power and weaponry to make him an even greater threat than before.

King Poseidon was sent to Earth along with Devastator, Trypticon and Predaking to steal the Zodiac necessary for Violen Jiger's schemes. The mysterious energy source was located beneath the planet's surface by new Autobot commander Dai Atlas and stolen by Devastator, but as Dai Atlas attempted to chase him down, King Poseidon struck, emerging from a nearby subterranean lake and ensnaring Dai Atlas with a chain. Devastator handed the Zodiac off to King Poseidon, who returned to the surface with it, where he was attacked by Sonic Bomber and forced to hurl the Zodiac out of his reach. Unfortunately for the villains, Dai Atlas was the one who caught it, prompting Trypticon to fire a beam of Energon Z at the heroes. The Energon Z interacted with the Zodiac, which empowered Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber with its energies, transforming them into powerful new "Zone Modes". The firepower of the two Autobots' new modes was directed upon King Poseidon and Trypticon, who were destroyed when they exploded dramatically.

Years after the conclusion of the Masterforce War, King Poseidon was one of nine Decepticons selected by the supernatural new emperor of the Decepticon, Violen Jiger, to become one of his Great Demon Generals. Appointed "Aquatic General" and equipped with new powers and weapons to make him stronger than before, King Poseidon was first unleashed against the Autobots on the ocean planet of Wall. Hiding beneath the waves alongside Trypticon, King Poseidon emerged to battle Autobot commander Star Saber, but was beaten back by a concentrated attack from Erector, Skywave, Missile Bull and Overload.

Later, King Poseidon, Trypticon, Predaking and Devastator were directed to attack Earth in search of the mysterious "Zodiac", in order to create the super-energy Violen Jiger needed for his schemes. They were pursued to the planet by the Autobot Powered Masters Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber but while, Dai Atlas was occupied in a subterranean battle with Devastator, King Poseidon located and absconded with the Zodiac. Dai Atlas pursued him back to Earth's surface, where both sides grappled for possession of the Zodiac until Trypticon fired a beam of Energon Z at the Autobots. The Energon Z interacted with the Zodiac and unleashed its energies, transforming Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber into heavily-armed new "Zone Modes". The two heroes blasted the generals with their powerful new weapons, winning the day.

The Generals later schooled Metrotitan and the Metrosquad in the ways of evil, making them formidable opponents to the Powered Masters.
