Insert Jaws Theme here.

Doctor Morocco's shark submarine is an undersea vessel resembling a large mechanical shark. It possesses two forward-facing lasers which are powerful enough to destroy electronic sensors and fishing rods, and a self-destruct mechanism which is automatically triggered. It is also capable of acting autonomously, despite having allowances for a crew. When not in use, it's kept docked in the Nemo.

Fiction

Rescue Bots cartoon

The shark sub was programmed to seek out electro-magnetic devices near Griffin Rock and destroy them. It began destroying the sensors for the automated lighthouse, before being attracted to a hi-tech fishing rod being used by Heatwave. The Rescue Bot wrestled with the shark until it shook him off by smashing him into rocks. Doc Greene managed to get video of the shark when it attacked the sensor under his floating research lab, and he and Cody Burns realized that it was programmed to attack electro-magnetic devices.

Chief Burns and the Bots went back out to try to lure the shark into a cove, but while they were leading it, it veered off to attack the Griffin Rock ferry, which used electro-magnets in its steering. The ferry managed to evade the shark until Heatwave, Boulder and Chase grabbed the shark and destroyed its lasers and propulsion, at which point it floated to the surface. Once Burns opened the sub, the self-destruct was triggered, and Blades had to fly the sub offshore where it exploded. Deep Trouble

So call in the submarines, 'round the world we'll go.

Morocco had a second shark submarine, which he used while salvaging the S.S. Isolde, though its appearances circling the Griffin Rock ferry resulted in Captain Shaw reporting a sea monster. When the salvage mission went wrong, and the Burns's boat was badly damaged, Morocco lifted it out of the water on the shark submarine's back and carried it to land. Tip of the Iceberg He used the sub to reach the island so he could break into the fire station and investigate the Rescue Bots. Changes

During a plan that involved memory-wiping the Rescue Bots, Morocco's shark submarine was caught in a methane explosion which the Bots accidentally caused.

A sunroof on a submarine? Ill-advised.

• Shark Sub Capture (Mini Scene Pack, 2015)

The Shark Sub vehicle can be "piloted" by a small figure in its open top hatch. Rolling the sub along a flat surface causes its tailfin to swish back and forth. Pressing on the "dorsal" fin opens the spring-loaded jaw for bitey-bitey action.

This set comes with Dr. Morocco and a non-transforming figure of Blades the Copter-Bot with energon hook, both seemingly unchanged from their prior Figure 2-Pack release.
