"Soundwave decided there was nothing better than example- then again, he spent enough time in the field that jumping off and into and out of things had to be second nature for his own survival. He lunged forward, curling up to land more evenly into the water with a splash, the ocean starting to obscure and engulf him. Before disappearing completely, he came back up in a bubbling splatter, holding himself at the edge of the water by controlled buoyancy in his empty chest compartment. Flattening it completely would send him deeper in the water, like a swim bladder. He looked up at the mech, wet metal shimmering above the surface, while the rest of his frame below grew dull and blue-green the further it was from the light.
The scientist gazed down at the cassette player, there was a hint of humor in his optic but that didn’t last long when he realized that it was his turn. He took a few steps to the side to create some distance between his expected landing area and Soundwave. Taking no chances with trying to replicate the more graceful mech’s form, Shockwave simply walked off the platform.
His descent was far more rapid than his companion’s and the aftersplash was large enough to send Soundwave away in a frenzy if he wasn’t careful. Though, he did not float upward like Soundwave, for he sank like the 70 ton rock he is."
