The Energon Pub

Comic versions, obviously. Pretender samurai vs. the unchrasimatic bore.

Bludgeon, the cassettes would all get sliced and diced early on in the fight.
Soundwave would fall afterwards, I suppose that Bludgeon's shell would take massive damage in this fight.

Soundwave and his minions. Frenzy, Ratbat and Rumble can distract Bludgeon long (hypnosis, earthquake...) enough that Soundwave, Ravage and the birds to slice and shoot him apart from far. If there is no limitation on casettes, Beastbox, Slugfest and Overkill can come join the show.

martial artest or not bludgeon is going down soundwave has far to many tricks up his sleves ( if he had sleves)

Ratbat could take down Bludgeon on his own!

well yoou all seem to be forgetting that Bludgeon is a Pretender and so logically he could easily defeat soundwave by either throwing his sword at his chest and then letting loose his inner robot to transform into a tank to further pulverise him.

i think soundwave would win with sheer numbers rumble frenzy lazerbeak busssaw ratbat ravage if were comparing the comics soundwave people forget that ravage and ratbat werent portrayed like they were in the show they were pretty tought in there own right also hr has other cassettes that i cant think of off the top on my head but i think bludgeon would take most of them out before he goes down

But in the comics Bludgeon lead the decepticons after Scorponok. this shows he was a very capable decepticon and widely respected by all his soldiers (Even Megatron stated this fact)

Soundwave may have strength in numbers but Bludgeon would still kick his head in as he is a mega bad arse. For example:

Leading the deathsquad (Mayhem)
Replacing Scorponok
Killing a bunch of Autobots on Klo

He is a better fighter then soundwave but soundwave does the edge due to his cassettes. But bludgeon has more fighting skills.

Soundwave does have many extra cassettes (mainly Japanese and convention exclusives). They would at least distract Bludgeon.

Frenzy could damage Bludgeon's brain with his sonic weapon.

Rumble could collapse the ground under Bludgeon, casting him into a sinkhole.

Ravage's missiles are pretty powerful.

Soundwave himself is a mind reader, so he can predict Bludgeon's moves.

Bludgeon is skillful and stealthy, with personal smokescreens, but Soundwave and his cassettes would still detect him.

Bludgeon may win if he keeps blasting accurately. However, Soundwave's team is probably too much for him. They win.
