Now that I think of it, when Inko dropped the Nilokeras down the bridge I don't think Trillram panicked about his "weak point" getting revealed.

There are no large bodies of water on mars so Trillram wouldn't know that falling into water would give his weak spot away. Otherwise he would have tried his best to get out of the water as fast as possible before someone got a too close look.

He most likely panicked because he was worried his Nilokeras would fall over, which would cause his barrier to shut down and leave him unable to activate it again until he has stood up and left the water since the barrier can only be raised when nothing is touching the surface to be covered by it (as seen in episode 12 when Saazbaum couldn't activate his while lying on the ground)
