Seaspray is a fictional Autobot character from the ''Transformers: Generation 1'' line.

===Fictional biography===
{{Quote|Displays a zest for his job unmatched by fellow Autobots. Loves the ocean and its creatures... unhappy when he returns to land and reverts to robot form. Loves the thrill of naval battle. Can go 120 knots, 4000 mile range. Has sonar radar and underwater and surface-to-air lasers, also used in robot mode. Wheels allow limited land travel. Not too strong or mobile as robot.}}

===Reception===
Seaspray was picked as the 5th worst Transformer of all time by X-Entertainment.<REF>http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/547.html</REF>

===Marvel Comics===
Seaspray was originally part of an Autobot group in the "Dead End" region of Cybertron. He was part of the group that went to save the captive scientist Spanner. Accompanying the others to blow up the Decepticon base, they were horrified to discover that the Decepticons had built Spanner into the Space Bridge itself. Destroying the Bridge as a mercy-killing, Seaspray and his comrades ([[Beachcomber (Transformers)|Beachcomber]], [[Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]], [[Warpath (Transformers)|Warpath]], [[Perceptor]], [[Cosmos (Transformers)|Cosmos]] and [[Powerglide (Transformers)|Powerglide]]), with no chance of escaping to Cybertron, crossed the bridge to Earth.<ref>The Official Overstreet Comic Book Companion, 11th Edition, Page 257 by Robert M. Overstreet, 2010</ref>

After an attack by [[Megatron (Transformers)|Megatron]], they were then captured by [[Circuit Breaker (Transformers)|Circuit Breaker]] and her [[Rapid Anti-Robot Attack Team]], taken to her lab and then dissected. After capturing the [[Aerialbots]] she encountered a new problem - the Decepticon [[Battlechargers]] [[Runabout (Transformers)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (Transformers)|Runamuck]] were causing mayhem across America. Using the parts from all the captured Autobots she created a giant Autobot with herself in control, striking a deal with them that if they would co-operate she would let them go. Circuit Breaker then used them to battle the two Decepticons, who were attacking the [[Statue of Liberty]]. After defeating the Decepticons with Circuit Breaker the Autobots were released.

After a side-adventure in the UK comics in which they encountered (and were almost killed by) the future Decepticon [[Galvatron]], Seaspray's group linked up with the main Autobots - only to learn of the death of [[Optimus Prime]]. From then on Seaspray would appear less as more characters were introduced. Seaspray was last seen to be dragging the deactivated [[Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]] away after the [[Underbase]] powered [[Starscream (Transformers)|Starscream]]'s rampage. He was apparently deactivated at some point since in the UK Christmas story "The Greatest Gift of All" as he is among the Autobots Optimus Prime considers reactivating with a fragment of the [[Creation Matrix]].

===Animated series===
Seaspray, like many other season 2 Transformers, originally appeared in the episode "Dinobot Island Part 2".

His most prominent appearance was in the episode "Sea Change", when he was sent alongside [[Bumblebee (Transformers)|Bumblebee]], [[Perceptor]] and [[Cosmos (Transformers)|Cosmos]] to the planet Traal in response to a distress signal. The Decepticon tyrant Deceptitran had enslaved the planet, and the arrival of [[Megatron (Transformers)|Megatron]]'s forces only worsened the situation. Seaspray then fell in love with [[Alana (Transformers)|Alana]], one of the leaders of the resistance. After the two performed a daring rescue of the captured Bumblebee, Seaspray learned of the Well of Transformation, an energy source that transformed living beings into whatever they desired. Seaspray entered, and emerged a Traal male. Although Alana fell in love with him, an attack by [[Rumble (Transformers)|Rumble]] convinced him he would be more use to the Traal as an Autobot, and entered the pool once again. Although it was successful, Alana emerged as a robot too. The two defeated Deceptitran and forced Megatron's forces to flee. The two (Alana having returned to being human) then departed into the sunset. Seaspray spoke with a [[gurgling]] tone in his voice.

Like many other Transformers from the first two seasons, Seaspray was gradually phased out in the third season. He last appeared in "Thief in the Night."

Seaspray was the spokesbot in an unreleased Transformers "Knowing is half the Battle" public service announcement where he taught kids to always wear a lifejacket on a boat.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGo83DGspMA</ref>

Following the liberation of Cybertron from [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]]’s rule, Bumblebee was placed in command of the Autobot supply shuttle Orion, with [[Powerglide (Transformers)|Powerglide]], [[Warpath (Transformers)|Warpath]], Seaspray, [[Cosmos (Transformers)|Cosmos]], [[Cliffjumper]], [[Bumper (Transformers)|Bumper]] and the [[Powerdashers]] assigned to him. Their mission was to aid the Autobots on Earth. Upon arriving in the Earth system from transwarp space, they witnessed the arrival of [[Sunstorm (Transformers)|Sunstorm]] (Transformers: Generation One III #1). Seaspray was one of those who battled against him, but was deactivated by his energy powers. He did not reappear before the end of the Ongoing comic, when Dreamwave fell into bankruptcy.

Sea Spray will come screaming out of the surf, turning the beach into a blasted wasteland with nowhere to hide.
