It is indeed an actual thing. I was just going to include that in my list. I do have a few to add though:- Overbite Coelagon Halfshell and Sea (several times, but it is Seacon related..... :-) ). Karl |

Graham's Crazy Seacon Theories #2 - The Seacons came out in the UK months before they did in the USA!
I'll tell you for why.
This is based on the assumption that the timing of introducing new characters in the comic coincided with the release date of the toys (especially since there was no cartoon any more).
Transformers (UK) #152, which introduced the Seacons in "Enemy Action", was published in February 1988.
Transformers (USA) #47, which introduced the Seacons in "Club Con", was published in August 1988.

I've just scored some Seacons. Still waiting on Kapow for mine :-( If only I hadn't got ripped off by Toyspark, I would have ordered from him. I used to love getting stuff from FRANKIE. Kapow might not be as fast, but I know I'm definitely getting it. |

I think the Hasbro UK address (and other international addresses) is just slapped on everything now, regardless of actual release in a territory.

I used him for years too. Never had a single problem.
January this year I bought the latest Encore cassette set from him. It didn't turn up.
I kept checking the tracking number. It had left HK but never arrived in the UK. Post Office said it was officially lost.
FRANKIE told me he'd speak to HK post. they told me to check with UK customs. Both UK Customs and the PO told me it never arrived in the country.
Deadline for Ebay dispute and Paypal claimback was coming up, contacted FRANKIE who told me he'd sort it out, and to leave it with him.
Deadline passed, then he mailed me back and told me that he'd speak to HK post again.
I kept mailing him for months saying at what point will HK post admit it's lost, as I want a refund. No reply, ever.
After six months I gave up. What a dick.

Snaptrap's usually referred to as a turtle. But he's got legs, not flippers, which suggests he's a tortoise, not a turtle. But tortoises don't go in the sea and Snaptrap's a seacon. Thoughts?

He's the first turtle/tortoise hybrid. It's a miracle what they can do these days afterall.

The one I bought from Toyz N Gamez at AA had such a sticker on the box. I think all the sets do.

Wondering how folks are combining their Seacons. I can't seem to find the optimum configuration of limbs (although it's fun trying!). I especially find that when forming a leg, Nautilator interferes with whom ever is the other leg. Anyone come up with a flawless configuration of Piranacon?

Post by Philip Ayres on Aug 28, 2010 17:03:11 GMT
I think mine is:
Right Arm: Skalor
Left Arm: Seawing with weapons attached
Right Leg: Nautilator with legs folded back
Left Leg: Tentakil with weapons attached & legs folded back
But whileI've reviewed him the limbs have moved all round all over the place.

Against G's theory I offer GI Joe 68 www.yojoe.com/comics/joe/joe68.shtml from Feb 88 It's the first appearance of the Snow Cat & Frostbite. That's 1985's Snowcat & Frostbite! |

I've been looking at pictures online to see if anyone tried in the combined form to carry all items. Piranacon has pink feet - so can/or did anyone get all the black gun base & long gun used in the combined form?
Also I always feel the Seacons has a group seem out of place because we had no Autobot counter part at the time. The Sparkers/Firecons lined up but the Decepticons where top heavy that year.
