The Energon Pub

I know there is a G1 Sharkticon. There was another Energon fig with the name but not the look. My question is did Hasbro or Takara make sharkticon G1 look but newer mold? I swear I seen one before. Maybe armada or universe. I'm not sure if I am dreaming, but I swear I seen it some where.

i have a universe sharkticon, purchased at big lots. i believe, it is just a re-dub of an energon mold (has that little energon chip socket on it) i could be wrong, you may want to check the gallery, see if its in there, but i want to say they put out a 'bulbous' sharkticon in armada. (i wasn't big on armada, so it is very likely that i'm wrong.)

I had either the Energon or Universe Sharkticon. I don't think it all resembles the G1 Sharkticons at all. I think it looks like Cybershark from BW more. Not even the robot mode is a look-alike.

The only ones I remember were called Beast Wars Cybershark andTransmetals Cybershark

The first Beastwars incarnation was re-released in the universe line, maybe? (It was part of a two pack. I'll have to check my collection when I get home.) It had a more metallic and cybernetic look to him (and a huge, scary looking phallus if the spring loaded "head" piece was left in place.)

Did you check his SEIBERTRON.com Gallery? Sharkticon was one of the characters that did not appear in the Energon show.
As for appearances, he's a shark-shaped ship and get this: part of his design came from the Decepticon ship Nemesis, most notably the cockpit piece. He was first released in the Energon line, and repackaged for Universe as a Big Lots exclusive.

Now that I'm reading the posts, Universe got another "Sharkticon": Overbite, who was a Target exclusive. He's a simplified release of the Japanese Beast Wars II Hellscream.
