I never had this set as a kid. I thought this guy was very cool though. The backdrop looks great! The colors on the toy pop more than with a white BG. Thanks for the review. Keep them up!
Just in case it hasn't been mentioned, and if I missed it in the comments, The 2 guns that come with skalor are combinable. ...at least on my original set they are. Nice video! the camera and backdrop you use now really help bring out the colors and details!
i remember getting this set for christmas when i was kid. i got the gift set from toys r us, but it only came with 5 of the seacons. the 6th lobster looking one wasnt included. I didnt even know there was a 6th one till a few years ago. another thing i seem to remember was the sword being pink and not chrome. either way, i preorderd mine online. this set brings back lots of memories for me!
Something I always found good for getting old school combiner transformers hands out, put there gun in the hole and use it as a lever, shouldnt break if you dont use too much pressure but it gives a bit of leverage
with snaptrap, blast off, brawl, cutthroat,and breakdown you can make "scramble 7" who appeared for one story in a manga. he uses tentakil and one of the other seacons as a gun. this what you MAYBE made as a kid.
Glad I ordered one, despite those qc issues. Snaptraps gun looks cool, kinda like universe Inferno's in that underslung position. I had only Seawing when I was a kid, so I don't care how purple or not Overbite is. Mine come tomorrow!
The hole on scalor is the same in my version of the g1 original. I don't know if they filled it in for the last collectors reissue, but the original definitely has it.
BBTS has it for 40$ on clearance but (if im correct) BBTS is stationed in europe so shipping might be more(??) and then theres TFSource which is stationed within the USA but is for 48$ and im not sure which to get. or if i should get a different figure.
FYI Skalor does have that gap between his head and body. So just letting you know and good review. Some flaws like Snaptrap's head, but I think painting it black would fix that problem, but don't know about his hands. Still you'll think of something.
@peaugh I just got this set for xmas! I was wondering... the figures themselves are top notch quality! The only issues I have are that the stickers are off place and the head of overbite will not pop into place in shark mode. Is it just mine or did you have similar head issues? I would like to know for my upcoming review...
@darthwinsor Oh, I gotcha. It's already out. That's not a prototype. He ordered from the shipment that was sent to the U.S. via air freight. If you go to the website, you can also get it now for $74.99 like what he paid for. There's a second shipment being delivered via ship that won't arrive until mid-late August.
On Overbite's transformation to robot mode, in your Collector's Club version of this video, you flipped his dorsal fin to his left and on his right in this video. Something I'd like to mention. No reason.
dcgitz he can be any, however in the official description that he's better off as a gun as his clumsiness affect the brain module/personality component of piranacon
i was hoping it was going to be a target or tru exclusive but i guess ill just pay the bigbadtoystore price for it seeing as it goes for over 200 on ebay
It's interesting to note that this waz the only other combiner besides Devastator to utilize 6 individual members, even if one IS only a weapon and not actually a part of the body. I still always found that cool about him though. Also, it depends on your perspective. Some robots such as Shockwave actaully have their weapon as part of their body. So it's debateable whether or not the arm extension IS part of the body. I agree with TheInsanemonkeyboy. Enough with the commercials already!!
@gregformercy The sticker issue seems to be common. Mine came with some stickers offset. But the figure itself its just efing cool. Maybe I will replace the stickers with some reprolabels.
I have the BBTS set too! I still have it in the package though. I'm going to have to bust them out and do a review on them my self. I got the Crazydevy cannons and sword for him.
If I have any complaints on this set (I already have one btw sans the BBTS logo) it's that Snaptraps' robo head wasn't painted black like the original. Molding issues......meeeehh expected already.
@darthwinsor An online store called bigbadtoystore. com. The price was $74.99 because it was for the batch that was shipped via air freight. You can order it for $54.99, but it'll be shipped by sea and won't arrive until maybe late/end of August.
I still prefer the name King Poseidon.... Can't wait for mine to arrive, never got him as a kid... (Skalor does have that gap in his head on the original)
@gregformercy Weird, the only issue I have with mine is Snaptraps green head (used to seeing it black), and the stickers. I see some reprolabels in the future.
@peaugh If I have any complaints on this set (I already have one btw sans the BBTS logo) it's that Snaptraps' robo head wasn't painted black like the original. Molding issues......meeeehh expected already. As always your reviews never disappoint.
@ThePeblo To say it in a way that is more polite than the other response you got, the Predacons are Decepticons. Genarally anytime the name ends in "Cons" it's a Decepticon and anytime it ends in "Bots" it's an Autobot. It's easy to confuse them really, so no harm in asking a question. Once you have been following as long as I have (since 1984- Old Timer FTW!) you get the little "tells" on things like that. Sorry that one guy was an ass to you.
I personally think the Japanese version of piranacon, King Poseidon is better, I think King Posiedon is a better name for him than Piranacon, and as for the individual Seacons, whose team name was thankfully untouched, their japanese names, yes, even Turtler, are also personally better than their American/English names. Remember, this is what I personally think, I'm not saying this is a fact according to everybody.

I have the originals....glad they reissued these
*Seacon theme Intensifies*
one of my favorites
awesome peaugh brings the good yet again! thanks for the review. great as always.
I never had this set as a kid. I thought this guy was very cool though.
The backdrop looks great! The colors on the toy pop more than with a white BG. Thanks for the review. Keep them up!
Great review! They look really cool and fun to play with. Nice set!
Great review Peaugh.
the colors are so funky..It looks 'child ish'

i miss having this figure i just wish it was sold in stores
snaptrap transforms into a freaking blastoise. awesome. he's my fav seacon
i liked these during the Masterforce series
deja vu in purple
i remember getting this set for christmas when i was kid. i got the gift set from toys r us, but it only came with 5 of the seacons. the 6th lobster looking one wasnt included. I didnt even know there was a 6th one till a few years ago. another thing i seem to remember was the sword being pink and not chrome. either way, i preorderd mine online. this set brings back lots of memories for me!
i had snaptrap as a kid too but then i let the kids next door play with him and they broke it and he was my favorite one.
I bet that looks nice with your collection.
Whats most suprising is that its more stable than it looks :O
I got this guy on sale for $40 + $10 shipping. So worth it.
This guy and Computron where the only combiners I ever got 100% complete. Can't wait to get him
Ah, nostalgia.
exposure is sooooo high
Something I always found good for getting old school combiner transformers hands out, put there gun in the hole and use it as a lever, shouldnt break if you dont use too much pressure but it gives a bit of leverage
When I had Nautilator as a kid, one of his leg pieces was broken on-card (one of the black things on his back). Refused to open and close
Oh do want. but im a sucker for combiners
seawing was one of the first Transformers I ever owned. I always wanted to full set but they were hard to come by here.
Do want!
Snaptrap looks like Blastoise
then whats the difference?
Check the brand if it says takara or hasbro and check the date too. See if its complete?
As a kid I had Snap Trap as well. I remember him having a black head though.
DUDE YOU'RE SO LUCKY! MY NAUTILATOR CAME WITH 2 RIGHT CLAWS -_-" Fortunately for me, they can work as left or right.
I got mine for 55 bucks, and for that price I cant complaint. In fact, I love this figure.
with snaptrap, blast off, brawl, cutthroat,and breakdown you can make "scramble 7" who appeared for one story in a manga. he uses tentakil and one of the other seacons as a gun. this what you MAYBE made as a kid.
Glad I ordered one, despite those qc issues. Snaptraps gun looks cool, kinda like universe Inferno's in that underslung position. I had only Seawing when I was a kid, so I don't care how purple or not Overbite is. Mine come tomorrow!
Frezy Rumble should do a Seacons custom
Nice review. Can you store the head anywhere when not in combined mode?
i think the reason why snap trap wasnt standing was cuz of the material you have these guys on
The hole on scalor is the same in my version of the g1 original. I don't know if they filled it in for the last collectors reissue, but the original definitely has it.
Some of those creature modes are funny. Sea creatures with legs and/or hands with Overbite, Seawing and Scalor.
@peaugh small time that's why they get most exclusives id pay 30 to 40 that's reasonable for 5 combining toys not 74.99 plus shipping
Snaptrap=Blastoise!!!
you can see how they got inspiration for ROTF megatrons crappy arm thing...
@ANewBosnianKing They have heads? I didn't even notice.
Snap Trap in Blastiose in disguise!
BBTS has it for 40$ on clearance but (if im correct) BBTS is stationed in europe so shipping might be more(??) and then theres TFSource which is stationed within the USA but is for 48$ and im not sure which to get. or if i should get a different figure.
Man I won't get mine until the boat shipment comes in late next month.
i still my overbite from when i young , his body was more purple a darker purple
FYI Skalor does have that gap between his head and body. So just letting you know and good review. Some flaws like Snaptrap's head, but I think painting it black would fix that problem, but don't know about his hands. Still you'll think of something.
@ThePeblo No decepticons :)
just rewatched your older review,scalor has the same gap in the cc version
@peaugh I just got this set for xmas! I was wondering... the figures themselves are top notch quality! The only issues I have are that the stickers are off place and the head of overbite will not pop into place in shark mode. Is it just mine or did you have similar head issues? I would like to know for my upcoming review...
i used to have the turtle as a kid,but sadly i didn't know it transformed:( but it was still cool :D
@darthwinsor Oh, I gotcha. It's already out. That's not a prototype. He ordered from the shipment that was sent to the U.S. via air freight. If you go to the website, you can also get it now for $74.99 like what he paid for. There's a second shipment being delivered via ship that won't arrive until mid-late August.
i got mines today!
Nice.
I want.
They are coming out with a Masterpiece Rodimus Convoy maybe sometime this year i'm not sure, but they are making it just thought i'd let you know.
i've waited 3 weeks for my generations op and bb and it has not arrive yet(from bbts)why?!
the only seacon i had was overbite. I always teamed him up with the terrocons.. I hope they will release the terrocons one day..
Does this figure go along with the movie line? It's listed on tfwiki as part of the movie line.
you didnt show weapon mode or the actual combing part.......y not???????
i found an original snaptrap for $1.50.
did i do good?
On Overbite's transformation to robot mode, in your Collector's Club version of this video, you flipped his dorsal fin to his left and on his right in this video. Something I'd like to mention. No reason.
So...Is this set worth 48 bucks and shipping?
Peaugh who's your favourite figure from the seacons?
i thought the bbts version had the black head on snaptrap? now im confused. maybe the regular retail version will have the black head?
@Cykillprime yaaaaay
16:20 posts and holes, posts and holes, peaugh gotta get his posts and holes.
cool
Is Nutilator part of the combiner team as a limb or is his other mode a gun for Piranacon?
dcgitz he can be any, however in the official description that he's better off as a gun as his clumsiness affect the brain module/personality component of piranacon
dido at the price i also got stampy for $6
i was hoping it was going to be a target or tru exclusive but i guess ill just pay the bigbadtoystore price for it seeing as it goes for over 200 on ebay
It's interesting to note that this waz the only other combiner besides Devastator to utilize 6 individual members, even if one IS only a weapon and not actually a part of the body.

@peaugh
i got mine BBTS Exclusive Piranacon/Seacons for $30. so how that for timing and it went back up to its original price.
@darthwinsor An online store called bigbadtoystore. com. The price was $74.99 because it was for the batch that was shipped via air freight. You can order it for $54.99, but it'll be shipped by sea and won't arrive until maybe late/end of August.
And I thought Punch/Counterpunch had a small head, jezz Nautolator
are the predacons autobots?
God Neptune had a much better paintjob
did you do gun mode?
I think those figures are aweasome, but the heads are TOO little.
I still prefer the name King Poseidon.... Can't wait for mine to arrive, never got him as a kid... (Skalor does have that gap in his head on the original)
isnt he like 60 bucks ??? hmm i soo want to get him
LOL they might have put in the hand upsidedown on snaptrap :) i am just guessing!
@gregformercy Weird, the only issue I have with mine is Snaptraps green head (used to seeing it black), and the stickers. I see some reprolabels in the future.
@Transfan327 Good you did, young grasshopper.
@peaugh

This to me looks like Sea Worlds horrible experiment gone wrong. Lol
@deoxys2deffense Um....he stated that he would NOT be showing their gun modes as he already din in his review of the collector's club exclusive.
What episodes can you see the seacons in? I've seen all of G1 and I dont ever remember seeing them
The seacon toys weren't made until after the show was canceled
@killerpuppetman Seriously? You've NEVER heard of Big Bad Toy Store? Wow! Well, they are an exclusively online toy retail store. Pretty good one too!
@emokidblack123 just wanted to know you tool he didn't say in the review
ok what the hell is with the random comercial in the middle of the video!
i have a feeling they look a little cheap .
snaptrap=BLASTOISE USE HYDRO PUMP
@ThePeblo To say it in a way that is more polite than the other response you got, the Predacons are Decepticons. Genarally anytime the name ends in "Cons" it's a Decepticon and anytime it ends in "Bots" it's an Autobot. It's easy to confuse them really, so no harm in asking a question. Once you have been following as long as I have (since 1984- Old Timer FTW!) you get the little "tells" on things like that. Sorry that one guy was an ass to you.
@fujisakimari We like this and spend the money you dont have to.
Too bad I'm almost finished with the G1 Piranicon all I need is Overbite. Same for Prediking, all I need is Tantrum.
wow....they went cheap on the colors compared to the original
I personally think the Japanese version of piranacon, King Poseidon is better, I think King Posiedon is a better name for him than Piranacon, and as for the individual Seacons, whose team name was thankfully untouched, their japanese names, yes, even Turtler, are also personally better than their American/English names. Remember, this is what I personally think, I'm not saying this is a fact according to everybody.
