Off Topic Circle Jerk

I think people suck as this arguing thing.

Blackout threw 60+ ton tanks like they were nothing. He withstood turret mounted gunfire from modern US Military equipment (and it did nothing to him).

And Optimus Prime is supposed to be able to wipe the floor with Blackout...and a few other Decepticons at the same time.

And this thread is still being debated. Mother of Gawd...you guys need to get a life.

Why do those threads even exist?

Well without wanting to douse your fire of constructive appraisal and 'fact' reporting;

Blackout was not seen throwing any tanks or vehicles. It was some kind of other attacks from his blasters and that EMP like wave. He had a shield on and one of the shots coming in from the troops rocked him hard before he ejected Scorponok.

As a matter of trivia, the later-presented photo that the troop supposedly took of Blackout (who attacked at night) wasn't of Blackout at all. (I guess that as the deceps just looked like jumbled messes compared to the recognisable g1 forms/outlines most couldn't tell, in universe or as a viewer)
It was starscream. And it was taken from the 'Starscream on Mars promo'.

YouTube video

No they kicked Prime's aft-chassis when and killed him fighting him at the same time. But hey Optimus was shiny, there was cool "epic music"(tm) playing and he'd say things that sounded impressive like "I'll take you ALL on!!!!!" and that was enough for the E colourings, brandname hungry, Ritalin munching, CGI wanking masses to believe that Prime was suddenly Kal-El/Jesus/Neo/John McClane and the semen did flow from them muchly. 🙄
(It didn't matter to them that he actually abandoned Sam and got killed...) Not like Kong who took out his 3 assailants whilst holding/protecting his human companion.

You have an inflated opinion of Kong. Prime doesn't have to be "jesus" to take down a giant gorilla. He just needs a big gun. He has multiple big guns, and two big swords. 😆

Ah right, despite Prime's ineptitude at H2H and the gorilla closes range real quick, can fight with either of his 4 fists, outweighs Prime, deals with Pain better than TFs do, has a gift for smashing things up and has tanked heavy cal, gatling/minigun fire and gone on to annihilate some of his assailants before surviving a fall from the Empire State and also the Twin Towers then dying minutes later, intact....yeah sounds like a cinch to deal with lol

'only high power sabot artillary rounds have the penetrating power to kill a transformer" clown

...or a human just shoving a grenade in his eye. 🙂

lets hear it for invincible future metal! 🙂

LOL 😂

Incorrect as you video clearly shows that his blast wave disintegrates, it does not throw tanks, fully intact, 80 meters.

Edit - Please try a different type of reply to my statement if you wish to have any sort of meaningful conversation.

It is quite clear that the Transformers are a composite material made from some sort of highly advanced, self-repairing metals; and some other stuff like oil (pissing Bumblebee), wires, and glassy optics (eyes). Anyone who argues differently is clearly an idiot.

Show caps of Blackout throwing them please.
As otherwise theres nothing to substantiate that claim.

yes the Tfs seem to have organic components.
Starscream spitting etc is another of many examples including the fallen's babies and the fact that Prime and Bumblebee have more mass in their designs in the ROTF then DOTM than the first hints that they had grown (bloody stupid given that they are meant to be millions of years old already)

I am open to you explaining up how those tanks were thrown that far and I have offered you to explain an alternative.

You have offered the "EMP Gun": no dice.

His blaster did not put out anything close to enough concussive force to launch those tanks.

So what other options do we have left? They tanks are fairly intact.

Occam's razor points to him throwing them.

"Off screen energy wave" would be my guess via Occam's.
Especially as he is not a multi armed Vishnu:
Those hit the ground in groups indicating further that they were launched at the same time, indicating the same pattern as the energy wave/ or propelled by explosive force and tanks being tanks retained their structure largely...maybe he shot a tank or fuel dump and the explosion did it. There was a lot of that going on.

Where is this energy wave coming from? No weapon he show-cased on screen launched stuff like that.

The transformers have no issues throwing each other around with ease. Occam's razor suggests they were kicked* or thrown, or some other method of physical exertion on Blackout's part. It is easier to assume that giant robots from outer-space that weigh between 20-30 tons, and routinely chuck each other around, should be able to do the same to things that weigh 50-60 tons.

The assumption that a Transformer can throw something, 50-80 meters, that has a mass 3-4 times as much as another Transformer is a stretch of strength feats, I will admit that.

I just see no other explanation that fits with what we saw onscreen.

*I think he kicked them. The treads were off on one of them indicating some damage...and based on where the treads are, looks look a tank got the boot. If it was an energy blast, we'd see destruction on the top of the tank. That's my assumption.

Not with those weedy, delicate, intricate little legs.

You'd be better of punting them with an egg whisk.

Watch the clip again. You can see big explosions in the background from where they originated. Therefore It was Bayexplosions that did it.

hmm

Eggs DO sound infinitely more interesting than Bay-formers.

Eggsplosions propelled them, as said above. No yoke. Check the clip.

lets start presenting evidence instead of habitually and grossly misrepresenting screen feats

You and your love affair for red herrings; what, is Kong going to jab Prime's eyes out, now? 😆

way to miss the point, obvious sock RE:RE:troll

Anyone can tell from your reply that you are bluffing. You clearly believe that it's OK to compare how Kong takes shots to the body to how startled decepticons (whom Prime rips through with ease) take shots to the eye. You don't even bat your own eyelid at how absurd this comparison is.

you're just the epitome of a posturing adolescent gas-bag who never has any evidence or valid points to bring to argue his case. just one asinine assertion after another.

my god how bad does your life actually suck?

go scream in your pillow.

^I love how your reply is 100% off topic nonsense, lol.
