Considering that Selkies are not known for willingly taking human husbands, while there are exceptions, it makes me question Sparkplug's morality. I can see Spike learning of his heritage when the Decepticons decide to play drown-the-human.
Random Autobot: "So does this mean that his alt-mode's a seal?"
According to some versions of the legend, the key to both their shapeshifting and their sea-longing is in their sealskin. If someone finds a selkie in human form and takes that sealskin, the selkie forgets living in the sea and will go with that person as husband/wife. But, if he or she ever recovers the skin, the memory and sea-longing returns.
So you have to wonder, if Spike is a selkie, just where is HIS skin?
