Are there any good aquatic Autobots?

I'm weird and kinda want to divide my autobots in Land, Air, and Sea forces each with their own leaders. Unfortunately I can only think of three aquatic autobots. That being Voygaer Seaspray, RotF Depthcharge and PCC Undertow. Im really only looking for bots that are Cybertron and newer. Are there any other water-bots?

Aquatic Autobots are few and far inbetween. In fact, Decepticons outnumber them with C-Thunderblast, C-Shortround and his movie repaint Storm Surge, along with Movie Sonar. The only other Aquatic Autobot I know of is BotCon Elita-1, but she's a bit pricey.

I know you said Cybertron and after, but Energon Mirage is a boat.

Wasn't there an autobot repaint of the u-boot Decepticon minicon?

Energon Mirage is actually a Decepticon.

The Galaxy Force White Edition Chromia has a color scheme homage to Minerva, but like Elita-1 she can be pricy.

And she's still a Decepticon.

Europe only I'm afraid, and he's still a Decepticon: Diveplane. There's even a Japanese Boss Coffee version, again a Decepticon, called Seawave.

Well I'll be damned she is, all these years of owning her and I never looked at her symbol until now.

G1 Bumblebee quite liked the water, didn't he? I suppose you could use a Classics or movie version. Or even the animated one with the thing, if that ever got released.

Hydrodrive Bumblebee or whatever? Not in the US, but it did get released in Japan. Pricey, but not as bad as some of the older or BotCon exclusives.

If you're okay with Beast Wars, there is Depth Charge and Cyber Shark. And some others that I can't remember at the moment.

There's also RTS Deepdive (Voyager Seaspray repaint).
And if you collect Minicons there is Deepdive from the Cybertron line.

For the movieverse, I group together a coast guard type team: Depth Charge, Seaspray, Breacher, Beachcomber, and Evac.

beachcomber is a nice one that i forgot about, he is at least beach themed, then breacher who just naturally pairs with seaspray. hmmm so Seaspray, Breacher, Beachcomber, Undertow, and Depthcharge. Thats not a bad start. And I had the squid guy when I was younger but all i can find know are pieces...he was a good figure.

There was also Broadside from the G1 cartoon but i think he was on like 3 episodes for a second each and am sure one of them was on the moon.

Claw Jaw, or if you're going by his Japanese persona, Scuba. Scuba has a blue and white brother called Ikard (pun on ika meaning "squid"). Plus, Claw Jaw had a "Transmetal" release in Europe in navy with metallic green highlights, which I have. Missing the weapon tho :(

yes, Squid Bloke. ;) That's a really great toy. Dunno how the other colours will work, but the orangeypeachypink on the first one were sublime.
