| '''Diver''' is a bit timid, to be honest. Though not an out-and-out coward he can be both carefree and careless. He likes to spend his time soaking in the wonder of life, savoring mundane activities and manual labor. He is full of excuses to keep himself off the battlefield whenever possible. He understands somewhere deep down how serious and dangerous the war is and just wants to enjoy life as much as possible before the inevitable end comes. Nevertheless, he can be roused to heroism when his friends are in danger. He hangs out with [[Tasmania Kid]], most often, who acts as his rowdy, carefree polar opposite, often getting the pair in all sorts of trouble. He likes to sing rap songs to himself.

| Diver can transform into a frog and is capable of spitting his robot head out of his mouth, placed on the tip of his tongue. Diver's special attack consists of blowing bubbles at his enemies. There's a reason this guy doesn't fare too well on the battlefield.

| At one time, [[Tasmania Kid]] and Diver were out on a scouting mission (much to Diver's chagrin, as he wanted to relax) when [[Apache]], popping out of the bushes, quietly called them over. The confused pair followed, only to find Apache to be an illusion, baiting them into a net laid out by [[BB]]. BB then took the two Maximals back to [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]], who told them he would release them after they ran an "errand" for him.
| |
| | |
| When the duo didn't report back, the Maximals left in search of the missing Diver and Tasmania Kid, eventually finding them collapsed at the edge of a valley. However, it was all part of Starscream's trap. Diver and Tasmania Kid, now brainwashed into thinking they were Predacons, sprang into action and attacked the Maximals. [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] soon entered the scene and stacked the odds tremendously against the Maximals.
| |
| | |
| As the fight raged on, [[Megastorm]] got to a vantage point and prepared to fire his cannon at both Lio Convoy and Galvatron, killing two birds with one stone. [[Scuba]] intervened by creating a geyser beneath him from an underground river, throwing Megastorm's aim off. The blast knocked Tasmania Kid and Diver back to their senses, though they were angry at the (rightfully) confused Apache, whom they blamed for ambushing them. {{storylink|The Maximal Brainwashing Operation}}
