I think it's between 4 and 5 inches tall in robot mode. Looks like a repaint of a 3rd party version of G1 Seaspray.
Actually Reprolabels currently offers a GI JOE WHALE sticker set for the voyager size Deep Dive toy. The hovercraft is about 8" long, just slightly smaller than the NLC craft. Reprolabels.com - Deep Dive |

Sorry, don't see how it's a homage to the WHALE unless you go on to say that Seaspray was a homage to the WHALE.

People are just being obtuse, right? What else would it be a tribute to? Jesus.

Yes...Seaspray seems to get a green repaint nowadays. Started the Reveal The Shield line and now with this 3rd party figure.

Yeah, he's pretty small:
But yes: either way you slice it there's some WHALE homage there. Whether IGear was going for Deep Dive who was a WHALE homage himself or all the way to the source. Considering there was no dark green hovercraft in Transformers previously (well, there was "Freeboot" a Japanese Micron) and Deep Dive was a small submarine first (an homage himself to Gobots Dive Dive). Also, a whale is a large aquatic mammal, as is a manatee and IGear tends to make word plays on the original names to name their knock-offs (ie Veer for Swerve, Cogz for Gears, etc). It's not rocket surgery. Last edited by Dake; 11-22-2012 at 02:01 PM.. |

Box art was just released for iGear's latest third party Transformer. Like the Power Rat, Grand Patriot and Snake before it, this toy has a GI Joe crossover theme. Sadly it's a tiny Transformer, only the size of a Legends figure (smaller than a 3 1/4 inch Joe in robot mode.)
