Nautica is a combat engineer. As such she serves as a support to other combatants by using her extensive knowledge to help navigate obstacles, use explosives, repair equipment and even serve as a field medic. She is not fit for first-line combat, having less armor than dedicated battle bots, nor does her intelligence rival dedicated, non-combat scientists.

Nautica's transformation is of a 'shell' type, with her protoform being enveloped by an alternate mode armored shell. As such, she is more vulnerable in her protoform state, relying on her alternate mode to get her through heat of battle. As such, she picked an organism that evolved a particularly sturdy shell by absorbing minerals into it's skin and forming hardened plates instead of the usual scales over its' critical organs. Her protoform is very fast and agile though, with the armor shell forming only a 'backpack' of sorts. She uses two fin blades as a primary weapon in her protoform. In her beast mode, she can hover in the air, up to two meters off of the ground, and move through air like water, albeit at reduced maneuverability due to the lower density of the gas.

[b][color=0072bc]Background:[/color][/b] 

Nautica is one of the transformers who is fully behind the idea of unification, citing greater efficiency of such a civilization. That said, she recognizes that there needs to be a mechanism for differing opinions to be heard and given a chance to be evaluated fairly before one is selected to be put into practice.

She volunteered for the rescue mission, intending to demonstrate that predacons are capable of working towards a common goal.
