Yes, we've already discussed this in long detail. I don't know if it was with you or DDM.
It was a combination of Robtard, RJ, and myself, in different threads. Mostly Robtard, though. (I can't steal credit. pained )
But, yes, I agree with you: it was "high heat sabot rounds."
We can say that they were incendiary rounds mixed with armor piercing rounds: a converged technology that does not exist, as you stated.
Also, Sergeant Epps DID say something like, "high heat sabot rounds seem to be the only thing that hurt them." Or something like that. Grenades and rocket launchers were not working so we can assume that it took a high velocity round that was "very hot" to burn through their futuristic, self-repairing, "flesh."
Edit - However, it's very silly that "high heat" added to that type of round would some how "magically" burn through the xformers. That makes no sense because there has to be a thermal transference in order for that "round" to make sense: beacuse it is travel very fast, the round does not make contact nearly long enough to "burn" through anything.
