	:This mold was also used to make the ''Generation 2'' Decepticon [[Color Changer]] [[Jetstorm (G2)#Toys\|Jetstorm]].		:Being made almost entirely out of fairly thin transparent plastic, Aquafend's shoulder and elbow joints are ''extremely'' fragile. Care should be taken when transforming Aquafend, though the shoulders are likely to at least crack or even break off entirely directly out of the package.

			:This mold was also used to make the ''Generation 2'' Decepticon [[Color Changer]] [[Jetstorm (G2)#Toys\|Jetstorm]]. In mostly opaque plastics, thankfully.

	Some would say that delving too deeply into the [[Decepticon]] mindset is not a good idea. '''Aquafend''' would disagree, and it certainly hasn't had any negative affects on him. The [[Aquaspeeder]]s' intelligence expert, he's made it his mission to know ''exactly'' what the Decepticons are thinking in order to come up with the most effective countermeasures for their evil plans, if not stop them before they even have a chance to start.
