What company are those from?

Nice list! As others have said, Submarauder is a bit questionable as a shark but I love his design enough that I don't especially mind. He pulls to mind a blend of 50s monster movies, H.R. Giger and classic anime/tokusatsu monsters (Guyver especially). Also his vehicle mode kinda reminds me of a horseshoe crab.

I do love the classic Sharkticon design, I rewatched the '86 movie with my fellow TF aficionado mum and was reminded how they were honestly pretty frightening...at least in shark monster mode. As robots they gave me oompa-loompa vibes.

I'd actually be tempted to replace the T30 Skybyte with this original incarnation. Partly out of simple nostalgia (I still want one, always did since I was a child but never found him) and partly because in some respects he's superior. Specifically the paint- OG Skybyte is the nicest painted TF ever made IMO. Every little detail of his shark mode is picked out with paint (even the little nodules have different colours!) and the overall deco is just beautiful.

I also kinda want BWII Hellscream, as he's a retool of an already good figure (Cybershark) and his Terminator shark-sub mode is just amazing.

I OWN ALL OF THEM!
Well, that's what I could say if I haven't sold my Generations Skybite for reasons. I need to get Cloud Hellwrap.

I'll also add an honorable mention. Prime Beast Hunters Sharkticon Megatron. Not really a "shark" per se, but a very cool and awesome toy regardless!

There's some errors on the monster,the main event,the visible head is the most annoying.

You talking about Sharkticon Megatron? If yes, it's simply part of the OG design. The head of the bot is even more hidden in this form than the regular Prime version.

ACK! IT'S TRUE!
And I own this toy.

For shame.

Guess it was to show something?

Correct one:
