| - Cybershark is the name of a fictional character in the various Transformers universes. The character of Cybershark is depicted in two different ways in his two bios. The first is his original first season toyline depiction and the second version is his third season transmetal II bio which establishes him as a bounty hunter, something the first bio makes no references to. It should be noted that early information about the Universe "Overbite with Repugnus" set appeared in April 2004 out of China, calling the set "Cybershark with Buzzclaw". In his first bio Cybershark is one of the only two marine capable Maximals and takes the beast form of a hammerhead shark, the other Maximal is the squid Claw Jaw. He is a heavily armed Maximal, equipped with a chest cannon and a tail gun that can alternately be used as a bladed weapon. His function is to search out Predacon activity in the ocean and then eliminate it. In his second bio, Cybershark was re-released as a transmetal II tigershark. It describes Cybershark as being able to detect Predacon activity even from over 20,000 fathoms below the ocean surface and being able to travel well over 600 knots. Despite the fact that he is a transmetal II Cybershark apparently modified himself or is so powerful that he actually possesses a vehicle mode: thruster jets and spin-drive tail which can boost speed and allow for limited low-level flight. Cybershark is armed in vehicle mode with armor piercing, jaw mounted, torpedoes which also possess water-to-air capabilities, also available in robot mode as a hand gun. A quad-bladed razor weapon and bladed fins complete his arsenal.
