Title:
Depth Charge Transmetal
Description:
Depth Charge (Ultra Transmetal, 1998)
Takara ID number: C-46
Accessories: Torpedo Launcher/Cybershark Drone, 7 "Shrapnel Grenades”, 2 "Proton Torpedoes” and Manta Tail/Energon-Cutlass
Beast Wars Depth Charge transforms into a robotic manta ray and a third mode called a "space-cruiser” or "air skimmer"[citation needed]. The very end of his tail detaches to form a sword/harpoon. In all modes, his robot chest/manta mouth is a spring-loaded, gravity-fed disc launcher with 7 "Shrapnel Grenade” disks. ("Power pizzas”, as Cheetor calls them.) He comes with a "cybershark” drone-unit that has two spring-loaded missile launchers in its mouth. This drone can attach to Depth Charge’s manta/space-cruiser modes or be used as a hand-held weapon in robot mode. Due to his back kibble, he is difficult to balance in robot mode, and is in fact designed to use the stump of the manta tail as a tripod leg.
"Metals Depth Charge” in Takara’s Beast Wars Metals line is identical to the Hasbro release. A "presale” version sold in conjunction with 1999 Summer Toei Anime Fair has two differences—the manta ray eyes are painted green and the blue highlights on his manta ray head are purple, to match when these colors are seen in certain shots (most of them underwater) in the cartoon.
