What is the *correct* way to draw humans? Maybe they should just include photographs instead of drawings.

8/5! 8/5! 8/5! Why are you so arrogant that you keep yourself intentionally ignorant of such easy conversions??? You say that there is no reason for you to bother with it and then you complain when you can't communicate. It isn't THEIR fault. It's yours. 83.2 km.

12.8 km

Two things to note: Since Devestator is primarily tall rather than wide, he doesn't hold as much water on top of his surfaces as the Nemesis. It can come off much faster. Plus, humans come out of the water soaked because their clothes and skin and hair absorb water and hold it in. Metal doesn't do that. The water would roll off Devestator as soon as he came out of the water, leaving him simply damp.

Since Prime and Superion were there and you were not, shouldn't you presume that they have considered the speed that they can fly and decided to go this way? I would just say, "Apparently Superion IS the fastest way for them to fly." Perhaps they can't fly individually with Autobots (their size) hanging on them. Besides, it was a very cool shot.

Issue #4 needn't provide a reason. #1 did. He's been reprogrammed.

The heck? I don't remember seeing the key.
