rounds far lighter than the BGM made a full-size TF violently recoil from the kinetic energy. whether the bullet ricochet or he had to take all the energy into his face, it caused his neck to recoil.
but keep up the literarys attempt to defy reality and destroy energy.
while kong was balanced on top of a platform and withstood the kinetic energy from BMG rounds, FAR GREATER and MULTIPLE SHOTS. also there is no vidual evidence of said rounds puncturing his arm prime would have gotten knocked off on the first pass. sure he would have grabbed something and not fallen, but still

BGM 50: (please log in to view the image)

its too bad we DONT have a physics major roaming the versus forum because id love to see it calculated BMG standard round vs ACR with all available armor piercing etc allowed so you'll finally stfu. (you wouldnt)

Physics 101: for our sake, momentum is always conserved in a collision. Kinetic energy is not. The more elastic a collision is, the more kinetic energy is conserved, and the greater the acceleration/the more the transformer will recoil.
The funny thing is, harder surfaces are more likely to result in relatively elastic collisions, meaning that the transformers would recoil more if they were made of tougher stuff. This is why car hoods have crumple zones that deform upon impact, so that the impulse will occur over a greater distance/time.
This has nothing to do with durability. An adamantium transformer would still recoil based on its mass.
Tying this into the debate, fucachump's sad attempt to prove that Kong is more durable than Prime fails miserably, and your nonexistent evidence that Kong can tank armor piercing explosive rounds to the face isn't winning you any votes either.
you will never get to disqualify clear evidence of kongs superior physical strength

Yes Han. And those tansformers were often hit by much smaller mass at speed than Kong was with the Heavy cal weapons, that were also shot at him by planes flying towards him, and Kong took it WAY better than those TFS he remained intatc and took a couple of planes down. Those TFs would have been on floor smashed all over midtown WAY before Kong made his eventual descent.
No Admantium is a most likely a heavy ass metal and the frame would withstand the impact better without being rocked so hard..
Supporting Evidence: The size of Kong distributes the damage better than the smaller Tfs. A mosquito bite is gonna be way more detrimental to an ant than a human.
Votes? This is a debate not politics or a popularity contest.
Very revealing of your mindset here.

Remember when Blackout effortlessly wiped out an entire military base?
Remember when it took a f*cking A-10's taking advantage of scorponok's weakness to sabot rounds, and several thousand rounds of ammunition, to force it to retreat?
Remember when it took several rounds of F22 raptor airstrikes, and yet again taking advantage of a weak spot, to take down Blackout?
But I love how you harp on some snipers (who had been training for years specifically to take out decepticons) catching a few decepticons off guard with precision eye-shots.
1) Why are people still arguing that Kong is physically weaker than Prime? It's already been shown that going with his lowest rating, he's still heavier than Prime at Prime's highest rating.
2) Why are people still calling Kong "soft" and "squishy"? It's been shown he can dead fall 440 meters onto concrete and not splatter, let alone not rupture.
his head recoiling was a sign that his neck could not resist the energy.
you will never get to disqualify physical strength from the topic

1. Prime is made of metal, and has ripped apart transformers that had earlier tanked massed heavy weapons fire.
2. Why should we even care? Prime has guns, strength is pretty pointless to debate.
The concussive force still killed him, though, metaphorical ramblings about beauty killing the beast aside. I could ask "why are people still pretending Kong can withstand heavy, armor piercing, modern explosive ammunition?"
