Gilmer (Transformers)

Gilmer is a fictional character in the Transformers storyline. He shouldn't be confused with Submarauder.

Transformers: Generation 1

Gilmer can use undersea volcanoes against Autobot warriors using the magma to attack them. He can control all cruel undersea life such as sharks and orcas.

In the Masterforce series, Pretenders don't split from their shells, but transform from semi-organic beings into robotic ones. Gilmer's shell is designed to resemble a humanoid fish monster and he can change size from slightly larger than a human to full size. He is strongest in the water but is able to hover over land in vehicle mode.

Animated series

In the Japanese Masterforce series Gilmer was one of the three Decepticon Pretenders that served under Mega and Giga.

Gilmer, Dauros and Blood are normally the Decepticons front line soldiers, but their usefulness soon diminishes with the arrival of the Powermasters.
