Description This is a redesign of an original Gobots character in the style of Transformers Animated, to go with my other Gobots Animated works (the reduxes, not the first attempts). Please fullview and comment!

With Dive-Dive, I took the original and de-aged him, adding elements from Iron Man and The Iron Giant. I wanted him to look like an old-fashioned robot, and imagined him to be an underwater excavator, so he has these tractor beams in his hand and chest to clear debris. He is also pretty big so acts as a transport, and is fairly basic both in design and intelligence! I wanted him to have a gentle giant quality. I hope I pulled it off!

Yeah, you did, he does give off the gentle feel, though it might be his similarity to the Iron Giant you mentioned
I generally like his robot mode very much, only the head seems a tad out of place by comparison (ironically enough, if I do say so myself ) and his submarine mode is simple, but since that is what you've been going for, than I suppose it's fine.
Overall: nice job.
