Animated series
The Seacons first appeared in episode #19 of Beast Wars II, called "The Space Pirate Seacons!" In that episode Terrormander was piloting the Seacon space ship when it landed on the ocean of planet Gaea. The Maximals investigate the arrival of the Seacons, sending Scuba and Diver. Scylla develops a crush immediately upon meeting Scuba. Halfshell discovered the Maximals and attacked them. After some fighting the other Seacons arrived and they merged into God Neptune. Scuba and Diver captured the Seacon's ship and used it to draw God Neptune away. God Neptune caught up to the ship right as it exploded, blowing him apart into the Seacons, who were left stunned at the bottom of the ocean.
The Seacons returned in episode #21, called "The Tentacular Scuba", where they have recovered and are repairing their ship. They are discovered by Thrust and Dirge. The Seacons fire on the Predacon jets, who fly away. Scylla starts hunting for her love Scuba, but meets Bighorn, who develops an immidiate crush on her. Terrormander attacks Bighorn, Diver and Randy, but Bighorn overpowers him. Sea Phantom then attacks Bighorn, but again the Maximal defeats his opponent. Bighorn attempts to get to his love Scylla, but she attacks him. Diver rescues Bighorn and the Seacons try to form God Neptune, but fail as Scylla is missing. Scylla finds Scuba, but the Maximals attacks her. Scylla rejoins the Seacons and they form God Neptune correctly, using his power to chase away the Maximals. Scylla is left as heartbroken over Scuba as Bighorn is over Scylla.
