TFtember: Sea Change

 "Sea Change", the Transformers, Nov. 20 1985


The one with the mermaids. 

Deceptitran, an older Decepticon, has been fulfilling his programing by draining the planet Tlalakan dry of energon. Naturally the people of the planet aren't thrilled by this and finally revolt. Deceptitran manages to send out a distress signal. 

Pity the Autobots hear it first. Cosmos, Seaspray and Perceptor head off to investigate. They make it to the planet where they rescue one of the natives, a comely young lass named Alana. 

Alana shows them what they call the Well of Transformation, capable of turning one being into something else. Mostly by dissolving the body, leaving the lifeforce behind and thus allowing it to be transformed. It only works on things with a lifeforce, as evidenced by a droid falling in and melting. 

With some Decepticons showing up, will Seaspray and Alana's relationship survive the upgrade?


Good, and Seaspray does get a good showing, even if his transforming into a merman raises a score of questions.
