Terrormander is aPredacon-alliedSeacon from theBeast Wars II portion of theGeneration 1continuity family.

Lazy Boy.

The youngest of theSeacon Space Pirates,Terrormander (テラマンダーTeramandā) usually gets stuck with the unenviable grunt work his seniors wouldn't be caught dead doing. You know; swabbing the deck, scraping the barnacles, hauling the mizenmast, and all that other stuff. Terrormander in turn channels his resentfulness at being the "new guy" into unmotivated laziness. His shirking of essential duties hasn't exactly improvedHalfshell's opinion of him, nor has it endeared him to the rest of the crew. Another side effect of the callowness of youth, Terrormander is the least respectful of the elder SeaconCoelagon, usually being the first to ignore his meandering yarns.

Terrormander reserves any and all enthusiasm for when it's time to go to battle. His manta ray mode can generate powerful vibration waves capable of shaking apart even the hardiest of targets. It's this quality which ensures his place among the Seacon ranks, even if his refusal to pull his own weight brings his comrades to their wit's end.

Terrormander combines with his fellow Seacons to formGod Neptune.

Fiction

Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity

Beast Wars II cartoon

"My mouth is very frustratingly placed... Stupid horn thingies..."

Terrormander was a member of the Space Pirate Seacons, manning the wheel when their photon sailer first arrived on the planetGaia. The Seacons located the amazing power source calledAngolmois Energy as their latest treasure. Terrormander was a bit disrespectful towards his captain,Halfshell, about the true value of this treasure, but the other Seacons shouted him down and told him to respect his leader. Their excavation was detected by the Maximals, who wished to stop the pirates from pillaging the seas. Terrormander and his mateys formedGod Neptune to defend their booty, but they were distracted whenDiver andScuba commandeered their vessel and then blew up the Angolmois Energy already on board, greatly damaging the ship.The Space Pirate Seacons!

As the Seacons began repairs on their vessel, another dispute with the Maximals began asScylla declared her affections for Scuba, butBighorn declared his affection for Scylla. This eventually led into a full battle between the Seacons and several Maximals, but also alerted the Space Pirates to the existence of a rival faction on Gaia, thePredacons.The Tentacular Scuba

Halfshell negotiated an Angolmois Energy bounty on the Maximals' heads fromMegastorm, and dispatched his team to isolate and defeat the heroes individually. Terrormander isolated the lieutenant Maximal,Apache, on some rocky shoals. Their efforts were undone largely because Megastorm tried to cheat them out of the bounty by destroying the Maximals himself with bombs, only to haveeach and every bomb explode in his face instead at the battle sites.Megastorm's Reckoning

Galvatron goaded the Seacons into making a second (unpaid) attack on the Maximals. Terrormander took advantage ofTasmania Kid's lack of aquatic ability by attacking him as he rode on Scuba's back, both above and below the waves. The Maximals managed to regroup on a rock in the ocean, but that only made them a convenient target for the combined God Neptune. The Seacons were only driven off after the arrival of theInsectronsBigmos andTonbot, the Maximals' southern allies.Showdown in the Sea

When Scylla went missing, apparently shirking her duties again,Sea Phantom labored off to find her. While searching, Terrormander came by and alerted him to a transmission he intercepted between theJointrons and Bighorn about some form of treasure. Sea Phantom and Terrormander decided to investigate and possibly steal the treasure for themselves. In actuality, the Jointrons had kidnapped Scylla as part of a complicated scheme to help Bighorn win her heart by rescuing her. Sea Phantom and Terrormander tried to steal the bagged "treasure" and, when a stray shot revealed Scylla was in the bag, fought back even harder to recover their lost teammate. Complications ensued, leading to a battle between God Neptune andTripledacus, but ultimately Scylla was rescued and returned to her crew.Face the Setting Sun

Recognizing their poor fortunes on Gaia, Halfshell prepared his crew to depart. Learning of their intentions,Lio Convoy offered to give the Seacons the energy they needed to leave. Halfshell wouldn't take charity from the Maximal, but got Lio Convoy to agree to fight one-on-one for the energy. As Halfshell explained to Terrormander and his crew after the Maximal left, the "one" would be God Neptune! The Seacons arrived as God Neptune and battled Lio Convoy for the energy, but their duel was interrupted by Megastorm trying to kill Lio Convoy himself. His blast set off an Angolmois Energy chain reaction on the beach, leading the Seacons to depart, stealing Lio Convoy's energy as they ran. Sea Phantom and the crew readied the mast, and took off back into space.The Final Battle

As the Seacons left Gaia, they were confronted by the artificial planet,Nemesis. Nemesis completely overpowered the Seacons' vessel and brainwashed Terrormander and the Seacons into swearing loyalty to Galvatron with its evil energy.The Artificial Planet Nemesis

Sailing through space, the Seacons came across the Jointrons, and both teams fused into their respective combined forms. Their battle was interrupted by a mysterious spaceship that squarely collided with God Neptune and broke him up into the individual Seacons, who were sent flying off. Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!

When the Maximals were on their way to reach the rapidly approaching Nemesis, the Seacons served as its first line of defense and forced the Maximals to crash on a nearby asteroid. There, they fought the confused Maximals. WhenLio Junior,Santon, andSkywarp combined to formMagnaboss, the Seacons did their own combination in response and the two combined warriors battled. God Neptune gained the upper hand, but, with the other Maximals' help, Magnaboss was able to strike God Neptune with an Angolmois Ball, which knocked out the Seacons. Coming to, they regained their senses and Halfshell explained that the Nemesis's evil influence had made them aggressive. The Seacons saw the Maximals off and Halfshell declared the asteroid their new spaceship.Revenge of the Space Pirates

"Have you ever ran above rocks? Now, imagine that with my legs..."

• God Neptune (Multi-pack, 1998)

• ID number:D-21
• Release date: August ??, 1998

Aredeco of theGeneration 1SeaconSeawing, Terrormander transforms into a robotic manta ray with legs. However, he lacks the rifles and stand-pieces of the original version of the mold. Since he uses theScramble City-style of combination, he can form the arm or leg to any combined robot of similar construction, but his nominal place is as the right leg ofGod Neptune.

He was available only as part of the God Neptune gift set with his teammatesCoelagon,Halfshell,Skyulle, andSea Phantom, sold in the seventh wave of Takara'sBeast Wars II toys.

For unknown reasons, a great number of unboxed God Neptune sets—lackingall of their accessories, including combiner parts—ended up available on the secondary market. These went for considerably less than the "complete" releases, naturally.

This toy was laterrepurposed as Generation 1 Seawing in theCollectors' Club magazine comic arcBeast Wars Shattered Glass.

Generations Selects Terrormander is a redeco ofKraken from the same line (who himself is an extensive retool ofPower of the Primes Deluxe ClassTerrorcon Cutthroat, itself a DinobotSwoop retool, whew!), transforming from a robotic manta ray monster to a robot. He is able to form a limb forGod Neptune or anyCombiner Wars-style Combiner, though his instructions only detail how to transform him into leg mode. His blasters/rifle and scythe combine with his teammates' weapons to form God Neptune's "Neptune Cannon" and "Neptune Sword" (respectively).

Terrormander was released as part of the God Neptune giftset, aTakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan. The God Neptune set was also available viaHasbro Pulse and other online retailers in the U.S. and Canada.

Notes

• Terrormander's name is partly wordplay on "manta" (マンタ), if one couldn't tell.
