All five of the smaller Seacons are equipped with a tripod rifle in addition to their individual armaments.

To enable their weapon modes to stand independently without Piranacon to hold them, each of the smaller Seacons came with a connector, a weapon stand base, and a tripod rifle to connect the two. Thanks to a small peg at one end, each tripod rifle could be held by the smaller Seacons in robot mode in lieu of—or in addition to—their regular weapons.
Overbite, Seawing, Skalor, and Tentakil were also available with all of their accessories as part of a Piranacon giftset, while all five were concurrently sold in the Japanese Super-God Masterforce toyline, both separately and as part of a King Poseidon giftset. All five were redecoed and released in 2008 as part of a Transformers Collectors' Club exclusive Piranacon giftset under the Timelines banner, and reissued in 2010 in (more or less) their original colours as part of a Decepticon Piranacon giftset.
Overbite, Seawing, Skalor, and Tentakil were also redecoed to form part of a God Neptune giftset for Beast Wars II in 1998, though this release omitted their individual accessories, including their tripod rifles.

Notes

  • The "tripod" part of its name is something of a misnomer; since a tripod necessarily has three legs, perhaps a better word would be "stick".
