yeah that's true, I mean Swoop's missiles put holes in Unicron. Granted they weren't very big holes but comparatively that's a pretty hard thing to do so his should go up. Oh yeah, ya know the Brontosaurus dude (think that was slag or sludge but I can never remember the dinobots) had the same power as rumble, does that go under firepower or strength?

[glow=blue,2,000]Good question, Rumble's strenght was a 2 but firepower is a 8. But Sludge, thats his name, fire power is a 1. But in this other RPG I play in it would be listed as a power.[/glow]

bah, well if it's listed as firepower then surely Sludge should have a better firepower than Rumble seeing as his version is more powerful?

[glow=blue,2,000]Looking at the Marvel Universe of the TFs, it says Rumble can create a earthquake registering 5.4 of the Richter Scale.
Sludge can exert pressure uo to 40,000 pounds per square inch with a single step, shattering bridges or cracking a mountain.[/glow]

I would say Rumbles are more controlled and directed whereas Sludge's are more powerful yet more localised and uncontrollable.
I can picture Sludge falling into his own crevase somehow...

yeah I could see that happening too, after all he seems pretty procariously balanced when he lifts up his leg tpo slam it down again and because the crack starts at one of his front legs it wouldn't be too hard for him to fall in, that's why it should of come from his tail

I think it should be isloated to a Rumble power, it cheapens powers when everyone can do it.

yep that's true, one thing that made G1 special was the fact that all TF's had their own particular ability or role in the team.

Yeah comes back to my too many personanilty-les sface sin the cartoon. Cant be helped though, Thats why BW was nice and only featured a handful of characters.
Comic did a superb job of giving character to otherwise nothing peeps like Bludgeon, Fangry, Ratchet, Blaster etc etc Really gave them some ace stories and stuff. Hell it made Ock the guy he is!

I didn't think they added very much to Blaster to be honest, he was already dripping with charisma from the show

Are you having a laugh? Blaster sucked in the show, man the way he spoke, what a Jazz wannabe. Wreck-gar had more class than Blaster, hell Warpath did and thats saying something. How can that loser be Soundwav's counterpart ill never know. At least in the comic he went up against Grimlock and stood up for something honourable instead of spouting crap all the time for no reason. Plus his face looked better in the comic with the visor bit instead of the normal face.

Come to think of it you're right, he WAS just a Jazz wannabe and seriously, HOW did he get pitched as Soundwave's counterpart? Soundwave kicks ass and Blaster......erm....doesn't

lol he was called Billy? those wacky Japanese. Out of interest, did Blaster's tech specs hold any similarities to Soundwave's?
