Gulf (ガルフ Garufu) is a devoid of sentience, like all the Seacons commanded by Turtler, serving only as mindless mass-produced drone warriors designed to overwhelm their opponents by numbers. Among the endless legions of the Seacons, Gulf is the most resistant to the pressures and temperatures of the ocean depths, allowing him to dive the deepest and search the ocean bed for resources. he is also capable of firing razor-sharp scales from his back, a move called the "Snap Leather".
Gulf can combine with his fellow Seacons to form King Poseidon.
Fiction

Gulf is the first Seacon to be unleashed, during when Decepticon Pretenders Blood and Gilmer attacked a cruise ship off the coast of Canada in an attempt to draw out their old Autobot Pretender foe, Gulf joined them in the attack, in form of a pair. At Blood's instruction, the fish-monsters tore open the ship's hull and destroyed its engines. Rise Up!! Pretenders On a later mission to disrupt the wildlife of Africa, more Gulfs again accompanied the Decepticon Pretenders in battle against the Autobots. Panic! Protect the Wild Animals!!
With the debut of the Seacon commander Turtler on the battlefield, at least one Gulf would usually be present in order to combine with its leader as the right leg of the giant King Poseidon. Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai The Seacon combiner battled Autobot Godmaster Ginrai on an island off the coast of America Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai and in Canada, Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter and a swarm of the creatures backed up the Decepticon Pretenders in a battle on Atlan Island, where a Gulf attacked a boat carrying the Autobot Headmaster Juniors, and another had the misfortune of going up against Road King's Rotary Burst Typhoon attack and losing explosively.

BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space
When Ginrai approached Decepticon Base in order to rescue his captive comrade Shūta Gō, several Seacons, including some Gulfs were patrolling the perimeter and attacked him, forcing him to blast out the base's airlock, sucking himself and his opponents inside. Subsequently, a Gulf was always handy for the formation of King Poseidon, inside the Decepticon base, God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base, in a battle on its roof, The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform in the Grand Canyon, Autobots! Desperate Attack!! and in the Alps, where the Seacons had their final battle with Ginrai, and were once again defeated and destroyed.

Toys
Super-God Masterforce
- Galph [sic] (Seacon, 1988)
- Japanese ID number: D-316
- Accessories: Left & right rifles, large rifle, connector, weapon stand base
- Identical to the Hasbro Seacon Skalor, "Galph" transforms into a robotic coelacanth-monster. Its rifles can be mounted on its beast-mode back around its dorsal fin. These rifles also connect to form the double-barreled business end of the Gulf's artillery mode.
- As a Scramble City style combiner, Gulf can form any limb to any combination of similar-construction super robots (or be used in its cannon mode as a hand-weapon provided the super robot uses the King Poseidon fists), but its nominal placement is as the right leg of King Poseidon.
- This mold was also used to make Coelagon.
- King Poseidon (Gift set, 1988)
- Japanese ID number: D-318
- In Japan, all six Seacons were available both as individuals, and in a complete boxed set.
Notes
- None of the Masterforce Seacons were ever depicted in robot mode in the cartoon or manga. They went from critter to super-robot-part and that's it. (Well, okay, the limb-bots often went to "smoldering pile of scrap metal" too.) The packaging art is basically the only "fictional" depiction of a Gulf in robot mode.
