FAQ (6)
Does it turn into a Monster minion?
If the flooded Rubble gets replaced with a site, is the new site also flooded?
No.
When it awakens, is it summoning sick?
Is the ability optional?
Yes. It is an activated ability with no cost and a threshold requirement. Like all activated abilities, you can only activate it during your Main Phase when nothing else is happening, but you are not required to activate it.
Does it continue to provide water affinity after it transforms into a Monster?
Yes. The flooded rubble does not provide any affinity to you (since you don't control it), but the Island Leviathan itself does provide affinity, since that's aligned with the golden rule. Obviously if the Monster dies, then you lose that affinity.
What happens if you copy this after it has transformed?
Since transform effects permanently change the characteristics of the card, as opposed to temporary modifications of characteristics (i.e. Overpower), the copy effect will take on those new characteristics. For instance, a Selfsame Simulacrum copying an Island Leviathan that has been transformed will enter play as an 8-power Monster minion that provides one water affinity.
