Bio[]
Submarauder is silent, sly, and sinister, at peace only in solitude deep below the sea. But if his reverie is ever disturbed, he explodes in furious anger. His fellow Decepticons wonder why he is so fascinated by the underwater world; in truth, like his teammate Iguanus, Submarauder has developed an intense connection with the creatures resembling his own Pretender shell. At heart a reclusive and scholarly intellectual, he finds great satisfaction in observing sea life and pondering the ocean's mysteries, so much so that he sometimes neglects to return to base for refueling. His hair-trigger temper is fueled by a deep respect for sea creatures and a desire to protect them from any Autobots who dare intrude in his domain. Fellow Decepticons aren't safe either if he thinks they're a threat to marine life. Some say that he can even communicate with and command sea creatures.
Submarauder carries a proton cannon that can also be mounted on his submarine mode. His outer shell's serrated claws can shred battleships, and it also carries a torpedo rifle and an unbreakable sword made out of an organic steel that eats metal.
History[]
Arc 3[]
After commandeering a genetics research lab on Earth, Scorponok was able to create the science of Pretender shells using synthoplasmic chambers constructed by himself and Vorath. Submarauder was one of twelve Decepticon volunteers transformed by the process into Pretenders. But soon after the process was completed, the Decepticons took notice of a digital eavesdropper. After tracing the intruder to Alternate Reality, Inc., Scorponok sent out his newly recreated troops to test their might against the spies. But, having gained access to the Pretender process themselves, the Autobots were able to manufacture heroic counterparts to Scorponok's goons. A digital copy of Optimus Prime proved to be a superior tactician against the Decepticons, tipping the odds in the Autobots' favor. Submarauder and his kin were soon driven into a retreat. |Pretender to the Throne|
Soon, Scorponok's Decepticons met with the other group of Decepticons on Earth, led by Ratbat. When their ship arrived, it was attacked by Ratbat's Decepticons due to some trickery on Starscream's part. When Submarauder and a handful of other Decepticons disembarked, the confusion was cleared up, though the seeds of discord had already been planted between both groups. When Starscream later led Scorponok to discover that Ratbat was secretly pursuing the legendary database, the Underbase, this information stoked tempers again. The two Decepticon factions fought bitterly over claim to the Underbase's power. |Cold War|
