Dear Vector Prime, I have a burning question for your wise wisdom. Why aren't there more Aquatic Cybertronians? Coming to a world with so much water, I'd have thought many would pick something like a Battleship or Submarine
Dear Aquatic Analyst,
While there are a fair number of hydrobots, seacons, aquacons, waterbots, aquaspeeders, oceanbots, stormtroopers, bayformers and sea-kers, it is true that there are far less than you might expect.
In part, I feel this is due to the Decepticons’ preference for stealing energy and resources from humanity, rather than extracting it themselves. As most of humanity lives on the surface, they take alternate modes more suited to raiding human cities. Likewise, the Autobots take alt-modes suited to defending humans. As such, even bots travelling from Cybertron with boat, hovercraft, or submarine modes tend to trade their fins for wheels when coming to Earth.
