Toy Review - AA Tomahawk

[GoktimusPrime]

ah, so it is

[SkyWarp91]

As much as I like this guy, like most other movieverse toys he needs a weapon! Having shoulder-pad missiles isn't enough! lol

He has two hand guns...

I wouldn't argue with a dude with shoulder mounted missile racks.

SHoulder-mounted missle launchers does not equal handgun. It equals a gun he can hold yes, but in the end it's a missile launcher. When I want guns, I'm talking about a rifle like weapon like your classic G1 Prime and his black rifle.

Which would be scarier to you - a dude running at you with a rifle or a dude running at you with two bazookas?

Dude with rifle. He could bludgeon me with it. A dude with bazookas is at risk of blowing himself up too close and is clumsier having to manage two weapons!

You mean that Jaws-Of-Life like thing on the lateral aspect of his right forearm? I forgot about that, shows how much I play with the toy!

Alas poor Roadbuster.

Fortunately for Tomahawk he's not actually handling the launchers by hand -they're shoulder mounted and presumably thought activated. But you're right about missiles being a less effective weapon at closer range than a rifle - although both are ranged weapons. An opponent would have to be incredibly skilled or lucky (or just really tough) to get within melee range for bludgeoning... or perhaps Tomahawk was incredibly unlucky with his aim or ran out of ammunition. But even if this happened, Tomahawk is armed with his own melee weapon which he could use to counter-pinch attempted bludgeoning. Unless his opponent was attacking him with an origami weapon, since it's an irrefutable fact that paper beats scissors.
