Even if that were so, it's not like Grevious is gonna stand there like a moron. How is Boba gonna deal with getting blitz'd by Grevious? That seems far more likely really.
If he has survived a direct turbo laser then, yeah, I'd say he should be able to survive Boba's rockets. I'm just not aware of him tanking a direct shot.

That's a fair point. I'm merely arguing against the notion that Grievous is immune to all of Boba's weaponry.
Originally posted by ares834Yeah, the explosion engulfs one's entire being, whereas a flame is both pitiful in a comparison of damage output and range. I will now for the third time post Grievous tanking an explosion that makes Boba's flamethrower look like less than a water gun in comparsion.

Notable facts:
- Grievous was at the center of the explosion.
- The explosion engulfed the entire facility Grievous was in.
- The explosion threatened the stability of Belsus' surface.
- Boba's flamethrower is pathetic in comparison
As for the direct rocket argument, a starfighter laser cannon is of similar or superior damage output (Slave I/II ect are equipped with such cannons) and Grievous's armor can withstand such attacks. Both the kinetic force and the damage output isn't enough to hurt Grievous.
Grievous doesn't need to get through the armor, unless the armor protects Boba's brain from bouncing around in his skull, leading to unconsciousness.
Also, did Boba just replace the plating on his armor with Beskar, or did he re-fit his armor with full plate protection? Because on previous armors he's sacrificed leg plating for more maneuverability. Grievous can attack his legs if this is the case for his Beskar armor.

And once again, there is a large difference between an explosion and a sustained flame. Boba's flamethrower may be "pathetic in comparison" but it is far more suited to seeping through the cracks in Grievous's armor and burning his organs.
Boba's armor resistance, even before the Beskar, could tank direct missiles.
I'm more impressed with a concentrated blast then a scattered explosion from Grievous:

Except it isn't. We see in the final panel that the fire wasnt completely engulfing him at the time. It's only the initial explosion where we know that that happened.
And their are cracks. We see this in RotS. Hell, his damn eyes are exposed.
Originally posted by ares834The final panel was after the explosion had exploded. While the facility was exploding, it was stated as being engulfed. I fail to see how the entire facility Grievous was in could be engulfed in flames but not him and then subsequent cracks in his armor.

And his eyes do have limited protection that lets them survive in the vacuum. Going by feats as well they evidently don't end up worse for ware after explosions as well.
Originally posted by ares834I mean.. I don't see which way you think he could have turned to prevent that point-blank explosion from f*cking him up if he had exposed organs.
And if he is turned the right way, his armor very well could protect him from the explosion.
Let's try being a little less ludicrous.
Did said manhandling, say anything about cyborg attacks that can break apart phrik? Or crack transparisteel? Or piercing durasteel armor?
I'm pretty sure multiple hits from someone who is also far faster, will be felt. If nothing else, why can't Grevious just remove the helmet and crush Boba's skull?
