Yet in the Bayverse, swords, hooks and other melee weapons seem to rip through them like wet tissue paper. Sure, it makes for a neat visual, but it's not realistic. The whole reason why swords became obsolete was the advent of the firearm. Suits of armor, which beforehand had been reliable and vital protection against swords and arrows, became useless almost overnight.
If I were fighting a giant robot and had my choice of weapons? I'd go with the fusion cannon, not a toothpick.
Tell that to other franchises like Ninja Turtles and Wolverine who are often using bladed weapons to fight robots. Armour's only gonna protect you for so long against something really, really sharp (like Wolvie's claws) and often the TF blades are enhanced with energy or fire or vibrations or some stuff.
Are suits of armour not bullet proof to some degree? I'm not actually sure.
