I like it. Not only are we going after teams one piece at a time, we are building our new weapons tech one piece at a time.
Not only are we building new weapons tech, we are also building a future for Autobots everywhere.
Not only are we building a future, we are also building a killer taco salad.

We'll kick off weapons ideas with the impossible weapon from "30 Point Buck":
The Combination AK-57 Uzi Radar Laser Triple Barreled Double Scoped Heat Seeking Shotgun.

Behold the duck's foot pistol.

Humorously, I still like the sound of 'A Rolled-Up Newspaper'.

More seriously, with the SW alts and Lightsabers in the game, what would anyone think of having 'The Force' as a weapon?

Here's a list of weapons from Fall of Cybertron. Maybe this will fuel some ideas:

A-4 Pulsar Cannon
Chaos-Rift Combustor
Corona Glaive
Corrosive Slime Shooter
EDK TechVolt
Electro Bolter
Energon Harvester
Gear Shredder
Neutron Assault Rifle
Nucleon Charge Rifle
Path Blaster
Photon Burst Rifle
Riot Cannon
Scatter Blaster
Sling Shock
Subsonic Repeater
Thermo Rocket Cannon
V32.CYBR Corrupt@r
Warp Cannon
X18 Scrapmaker

That sounds good, prototype might be a specific power. Force Lightning, Force Choke.
Wording could be difficult.
"Resolute hits Technion with a The Force."

Yeah, but there's so many bugs and mis-wordings in the game that I wouldn't necessarily say that's a disqualifier, y'know?


Another idea, "Old-Fashioned Six-Shooter".
'Longarm hits Chompy with a Old-Fashioned Six-Shooter'.


Edit;
Again humourous... "Member of Turbo's Team's Losing Record"....
'Wingz hits Bun-Bun with a Member of Turbo's Team's Losing Record'...

The Force would be cool, hokey grammar and all.
I think Transmetal 2 Black Arachnia used something like the force or telekinesis.
So in the Star Wars/Transformers crossovers they are more like Diaclone right?
The ships are just big mechs that Star Wars characters pilot, except for battle-droids, just larger droids, but never any actual Transformer characters in SW universe?

More crazy ideas: toy related "a G.I. Joe" "a Corroded Battery Compartment Cover" "Gold Plastic Syndrome"

Robot related, "Boot Sector Virus" "Denial of Service Attack"

I'm just going to jump in here and say ... "silly" weapons will only be permitted for individuals (to give them that uniqueness), but weapons that are for general release, I would prefer they be a little more serious, e.g. "boot sector virus". I really like that one.

Some other sci-fi/video game/made-up weapons I thought of:

Magneto-Fusion Assault Cannon
Quantum Gun
Compression Laser
Nanite Gun
Radion Gun
Seismic Sledgehammer
Electron Flux Cannon

proton cannon
marvel super heroes iron man

I like DS's 'Seismic Sledgehammer' idea. For a prototype version, we could even give a nod to "Transformers: Hearts of Steel" and have 'John Henry's Sledgehammer' or something along those lines...

^ gets my vote. I'm all for war hammers

We do need more hammers. The Magnus Hammer is 10/10 and then the Mace is 0/1.
Maybe something in between.

Maybe the Thunder Hammer is a bit to much like the Magnus Hammer though...?

I love this one! I can just imagine the mission logs...

EDIT: Denial of Service Sledgehammer, if you want a hammer?

Nah, I don't think 'Seismic Sledgehammer' is too close to 'Magnus Hammer' to use; especially not considering there's weapons like 'Gatling Gun' and 'Gatling Cannon', now there's a pair of similar names...


*Shudders*
Though on the other hand, I do think having a 'Denial of Service Attack' as a weapon in the game is tempting fate a little too much for my tastes.

Think of the possibilities, Turbo! THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES!!

No. Don't wanna think of them and you can't make me...

You sir, have piqued my interest. Seismic Sledgehammer. I like the sound of that.

It's so uninspired, though

I think we've forgotten a really important hammer.

The Ban Hammer!

You mean this Banhammer?

Other than the 'Magnus Hammer' and 'Mace' I didn't even know that existed.

Edit. That thing would make the Lightsaber craze null and void.

I think it's a one-off thing that Burn (and maybe other mods, back when more played) use, though, not for general consumption.

To paraphrase Optimus Primal, 'Sometimes uninspired works.' Besides think of all the "Sledgehammer" and 'MC Hammer' jokes that will be able to be made...
