ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
SUB-GROUP: SEACON

FUNCTION: UNDERSEA TERMINATOR
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 47

“There are only two kinds of creatures: predator and prey.”

Profile: A menacing, mechanical monster whose presence makes any body
of water unsafe for swimming – or anything else – Overbite is just about the
most dangerous creature ever to prowl the ocean depths. And perhaps he’s the
most obsessed, as well, for he sees his life as an endless quest for prey. As
soon as he finishes off one victim, he goes hunting for another. But as much
as he enjoys his work, he looks to occasionally take time off to amuse himself.
For fun he chomps holes into the sides of oil tankers and sinks cruise ships.
As Overbite likes to point out, “The only thing better than swimming through
an oil slick is swimming through an oil slick full of drowning fleshlings.”

Abilities: In shark mode, Overbite is virtually unbeatable in underwater
combat. His attack is unrelenting. His teeth and talons can tear through the
hull of a battleship. His liquid cooled, turbo-powered 3,500 horsepower engine
propels him through the water at up to 70 knots. He never needs to surface,
except for regular maintenance checkups. He carries a freeze beam blaster that
can trap any underwater prey in a block of ice. He can transform to an amphibious
weapons-base mode, in which he can create tidal waves by wagging his tail at
super speed. His front end converts to a jawbreaker cannon, which shoots powerful
metal-eating, salt-based corrosives. In this mode, when his fellow Seacons combine
to form the super-robot Piranacon, Overbite serves as Piranacon’s hand held
weapon. Overbite also uses the jawbreaker cannon in robot mode.

Weaknesses: Although virtually unbeatable underwater in shark mode,
Overbite is quite literally like a fish out of water in robot mode on land.
There he is slow, awkward and relatively weak. Needless to say, he prefers to
remain aswim.
