    Default Floating a Transformer idea?

    This is not a crossover product but I would like to see Transformers that are shower and pool friendly. They would look like a cross between Rescuebots and Animated Lugnut, have puffy features to contain the necessary floatation pieces, and have simplified transformations which are perfect for transformations in the pool and young children.


    Transformer ideas with different water interactions..
    - A Sea Plane that can sit on the water. Robot mode could actually stand on the water with pontoon feet and some correct ballast.

    - A Shark that is weighted just below the water with the dorsal fin above water. Robot mode can have pontoon forearms to lurk in the water. With correct arm placement you could have just their head or head and chest showing above the water.

    - A Manta Ray that will sink to 12" below water level. Robot mode can stand on the water on a surfboard/disc.

    - A King Crab that can sink to the bottom. Robot mode can stand on claw feet.

    - An Inflatable land mass with some dimples/pockets to hold the feet, a semi-submerged cave and an inlet.

    - A Whale with baleen plates. This could transform into a bath brush to clean yourself with.

    - Boats, submarines and all manner of sea life can be used as alternate modes.

    Notes..
    - More complicated ideas rely on the opening or sealing of air compartments during transformation.

    - Some transformers could feature water squirters. These would not hold water like water pistols but squirt pool water.

    - Shoot foam discs that float.

    End Note..
    I am definitely not saying floating toys is easy but even toys that don't float but are suitable for play in bathtubs would be cool.
