This got me thinking - what TF toys would you repaint in Cannonball's colors to represent the previous 9 captains of the Sea Slag?Each Cybertron Transformer comes with a Planet Key with a code printed on it. Cannonball's code is d2rz. Unlocking this at transformers.com gives you his color chart and the following text:
Cannonball is not the first space-faring Cybertronian pirate to carry that name. For hundreds of years, various disenfranchised Autobots and Decepticons have looked to the stars, and the various interstellar shipping lanes as an escape from the great wars. Inevitably, they come face to grisly face with Cannonball, the worst pirate in the cosmos. To keep his legend alive, Cannonball would recruit new mates to his ship - the SEA SLAG - and train them to be his replacement! The most recent Cannonball is the tenth pirate to use the dreaded Pirate's name!
(And what the hell is with the ship's name?)
My pick, in reverse chronological order:
Energon Bulkhead
Armada Red Alert (certainly more intimidating in his original size)
RiD Side Burn
RiD Sky-Byte/BW TM2 Cybershark
BWNeo Guiledart (Triceratops)
BW Megatron (original T-Rex)
G2 Tank Megatron (large electronic one)
G1 Six Shot
G1 Shockwave

Where Red Alert turns into an ambulance, Cannonball turns into a hearse.
