has developed an intense connection with the creatures represented by
his outer Pretender shell. He enjoys spending extensive periods of time
alone underwater, observing all that the living seas have to offer.
Interrupting his musings is a serious mistake, as his explosive temper
will be instantly turned on any Autobot who dares enter his domain.
Unfortunately for his fellow Decepticons, they too will suffer the same
fate if they disturb the creatures of the deep.
