History[]
Riptide was constructed cold as a Hydrobot in response to the Forced Flood.
When the crew of the Lost Light found themselves underwater and under attack by Ammonites, Ultra Magnus noted that several Autobot crew members would be well-suited to the environment. This included half of the Hydrobots.
Having missed the first launch due to an altercation with a pair of Mortilus-worshipping NAILs, Hydrobots Riptide and Aquabat went on to join the crew of the Lost Light when it left Cybertron for the second time. Groove chatted with Riptide about how he knew another Hydrobot unrelated to Aquabat.
Notes[]
- James Roberts revealed on Twitter that one of the Hydrobots is named Crest.[1] It is currently unknown if this is the same Crest as the one in the Wreckers.
