Seaspray (1985)
Premiering in the second year of the Hasbro The Transformers line, Mini Vehicle Seaspray transforms into a hovercraft, seemingly a simplified take on the Winchester class SR.N6. His underside hides tiny wheels so he can “hover” along, plus his twin propellers spin freely. Seaspray continued on into the 1986 Mini Vehicle assortment, with no major changes.
There are some minor changes with the company stamping on the bottom of his mono-foot. He can have either “© Takara 1984 Japan”, “© Takara Co. LTD 1984 Japan”, or the latter with “© Hasbro 1984” added above it.
In the Takara line, Seaspray was not part of the initial 1985 “pre-movie” series (despite being in the pre-movie cartoon), but premiered in 1986’s post-movie Transformers 2010 line. Like all of the smaller toys sold by Takara at the time, he was packaged in a small box and came with a collector’s card inside, rather than on a bubble-card.
A minor variant of Seaspray was released only in Greece by El Greco under his localized name of “Thalassόlykos”, featuring a significantly brighter shader of yellow plastic as well as a slightly darker shade of blue plastic. As with other El Greco Mini-Vehicles, his insignia rubsign is missing and his other stickers are slightly different.
