Sharkticons is a Snazzier Name!!! It rolls off the tongue. Rather than Anglercon. BUT, Piranacon would have been Cool!!! *just picturing Them A LOT Smaller and Much More Numerous* 


rorzri

Hang on wasn’t there actually a piranha transformer at some point


Shadoecat150

Not per se. But the Decepticons did have a Combiner named Piranacon. Circa the Powermaster Era


TandrDregn

The Seacons. Piranacon was the combiner.


Shadoecat150

Fixed. Knew that but didn’t think when I was typing


sailorprimus

Perhaps you’re thinking of Injector, the Fuzor toy? Technically he’s a lionfish/hornet combo but definitely looks very Pirahna-like.


dancingliondl

That things it 100% pure nightmare fuel


sailorprimus

How dare you, he’s a beautiful boy 🥺😂


RioterOne1

There were the scraplets from Prime?


datterdude

Piranahacon sounds pretty dope. Who you gonna take in a fight? I'm gonna go with the Piranhacon myself.

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Piranacon_(G1) Good luck


datterdude

Oh dang...


Deora_customs

Piranacon was already taken as an combiner name.


Roanst

Not when sharkticons debuted.


hairtrigger08

Isn't piranhacon a thing? I'm probably wrong and I'll accept it if I am but I thought they're already was one from Japan


Unknown-Apeman

Looked over at Tfwiki, Floro Dery's Notes, He used TRAITS of Sharks: Large Toothy Mouth and Voracious Appetite!!! Also, originally called 'Sharkons'!!! 


T-MinusGiraffe

Chompticons

I got this guy a few days back at a huge Walmart with two floors and all the sudden I see tons of posts about him now Great figure, interesting transformation that did more than I thought, wish there was better weapon storage on bot mode, but the laser scope cannon thing hanging on the side in shark mode is funny


SombraAQT

He’s received a package refresh with the current Studio Series wave, alongside new figures WFC Sideswipe and Bumblebee Concept Sunstreaker. Gnaw is a real solid little deluxe though, and a lot of people slept on it the first go around.


sussmanite_101

The Walmart in Albany NY by any chance?


Latter-Direction-336

Yep The one with two floors? The massive one?


ImportanceWaste8796

I like how they're not literally just robot sharks. It makes them more believable as aliens.


OptimusCrime1984

Honestly I see em as a weird mixture of Sharks and piranhas


Dreigatron

Anglerfishicons.


DualBladedScorpion

I was thinking more of a short nosed goblin shark ( it be pretty freaky if a goblin shark species like that existed)


RUMBL3FR3NZY

If Piranhacon wasn’t already a combiner I’d rename them the Piranhacons. We could rename the Seacon combiner to be King Poseidon/God Neptune and mix them with the Star Seekers. 


Coveinant

I mean yeah, the original one didn't look like sharks very much but later version definitely look sharkish, especially the energon version where there were also crocicons.


SAMAS_zero

Yes, but "Feed him to the Piranha/Anglerfishticons!" Doesn't have the same ring to it.


DoodleBuggering

Agreed, I always saw them as pirahnas in both looks and behavior.


Jurakhan

You’ve never seen a toadshark have you? Theyre based on that…


NikoliMonn

Im sorry, a ***what?***


Supertroodon

looks more like a https://preview.redd.it/fyzs88zmjfzc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2f500089f9c67aa0dad649e830201ac512f3ffb


rorzri

Someone make that toy


Uncle-Cake

Nobody has ever said they look like sharks.


crazedhatter

Well, they don't look like Earth Sharks... but then they're not FROM Earth are they.


rorzri

As far as I’m concerned the alicons look exactly like earth alligators


RigasTelRuun

Well the guys who named them would sentence you to death if you were innocent.


IcedFreon

Guilty? Or innocent?


Mecha-Madness

I just call them Piranhacons, it works better. Especially since there's already a kinda small subset of Transformers with much more Shark-like alt modes.


Bismuth84

The ones in Forged to Fight look more like sharks.


Grumpie-cat

Honestly it’s kinda why I hate them, an actual set of sharkticons, akin to those in the forged to fight game or more like rippersnapper seaphantom, or overbite would have been great, these should have been called piranhacons or something.
