I hardly meant to imply that firearms were more usefull in hand to hand, rather that with adequate firearms there's more often than not no need for hand to hand. Your reply pretty much just reinforces what I was talking about the Decepticons natural advantage over the Autobots.

I'm highly skeptical of the exsistance of Jet Judo as I have only ever heard of it one episode and it sounded like a flippant remark to me. Not least of all as its compsed of 2 earth words unlike most of the other known Cybertronian martial arts.

I suspect if there is a Jet Judo then majority of the practioners enjoy only very short lifespans.
