Since a washing machine would be too impractical to Frog, I decided Antenna would mostly inhabit a Great War era torpedo. However after some research, five meters proved to be a bit too large for what I had in mind, so I made Antenna's 150cm by 30cm. (About 5ft by 1ft, give or take a few inches)
By comparison Antenna's Torpedo is almost a third the size of a regular Great War era Torpedo. This torpedo was never finished, and thus was never loaded with explosives or fitted with a warhead. The model never appeared on any stocklist, so it wasn't noted as 'missing' when it was knocked overboard into [A Classified Location]. The relic was found by some salvagers who put it on the black market. Antenna came across it in the middle of a training exercise and... it was basically akin to love at first sight. As it wasn't air tight, water was able to easily rust and corrode its internal chambers, turning the projectile into a large water tank.
When possessed by Antenna, the stabilises and engine are restored to working order and Antenna can use them to move in or on the water. Due to its levitate ability, Antenna can fly the torpedo over land, but it's extremely slow by comparison. When on or in water, it can be ridden on quite easily. Antenna's face can appear on any part of the Torpedo.
Unpressurised, Antenna can store about 100 litres* inside the torpedo. It can however compress the water, to further increase its capacity. Said water can be ejected quite forcefully out of either end, in the Rotom's rendition of 'Hydro Pump'. Antenna is smart enough to ration it's water usage on land and from full capacity can manage [5 to 8 'rounds'] of Hydro Pump, depending on the water's pressure. When in the water, using Hydro Pump can also be used to give a speed boost, similar to Nitrous Oxide in a Car (minus the engine damage). This method is also quieter (though more taxing on Antenna), if the science from 'The Hunt for Red October' holds true.
*If you think that might be a bit too much water, let me show you my math: Volume of a Cylinder = Area of face(circle) * length; Area of a Circle = Pi * radius^2; Radius = Diameter / 2 Diameter = 30cm : Radius = 15cm, Length = 150cm Area of face: Pi*(15^2) = 706.858cm^2 Volume of Cylinder: 706.858 * 150 = 106,028.75 cm^3 Round down to factor in the Rough egg shape of the ends as well as the few components that are still inside: 100,000cm^3 : 100 Litres : 22 UK Gallons : 26.4 US Gallons And that's all unpressurised!
