Density! Darn, that was the word I wanted to use but couldn't remember it for the life of me. Sorry, I stand corrected.

Density is technically more accurate than weight, but for this situation, the most correct term is probably buoyancy. Which is just comparative density with respect to the fluid medium.

The Autobots, being made of metal, have negative buoyancy, i.e. they naturally sink, and so they have to push against their own weight in order to come back to the surface, and then tread water in order to stay afloat.

I'll answer you that if you answer me this:

If Pat Lee was tossed into the ocean wearing cement shoes, could the Tittibots come to his rescue faster than the Autobots came to Ratchet's?

Would anyone want to rescue him? I mean, beside the hookers?

And even then, is it because they love him or because he owes them money?
