Cybertronian Squid

War For Cybertron
The Coolant Squid is a lifeform found both deep in Cybertron's tunnels as well as inside the coolant tanks aboard Trypticon (Prime). They are capable of both flying through the air and swimming in coolant. They have an umbrella-shaped main body and three tentacles trailing behind it. They are docile unless disturbed in which case they try to flee rather than fight. If shot at or impacted by a Transformer they explode violently.

They can be seen in the Decepticon level Energon Bridge where they are frightened by the intrusion of the Decepticon Seekers. They are also seen in the Autobot mission To The Core where they can be seen flying around in the area before the Corrupted Worm Battle and one can be seen crushed by falling debris. The final level that they are seen in is the Autobot level Aerial Assault where they are seen swimming in Trypticon's coolant. Some can be seen apparently attached to the floor of the coolant tanks while others swim around.

Triva

 * They resemble a mechanical cross between a jellyfish and a squid.


 * Apparently Thundercracker (Prime) has never seen them before his mission to reactivate the energon bridge.
