Thermal weaponry

To pack that extra punch, some Transformers wield melee weaponry that not only cut, smash or crush, but will singe whatever they choose to turn their weapons upon. Examples of such weaponry include Thermal Swords, Thermal Maces, and Thermal Clubs. Heated weaponry is popular among Cybertronians in many universes, and some of their weapons boast maximum heat emissions that are astoundingly high.

Generation 1

 * Rampage appreciates the simpler things in life. Music videos.  Reality TV.  Burying his thermo-sword in an Autobot and watching as its 8000-degree-Centigrade blade melts their armor like ice cream in summer.


 * Swoop's thermal sword is more or less identical to Rampage's thermo-sword, but his cooks only up to 4000 degrees Centigrade. Wussie.


 * Weirdwolf also wields a thermal sword, which can slice through a three-inch thick sheet of steel, allowing him to mangle Autobots almost as much as he mangles his sentences.


 * Waverider packs a thermal broadaxe, which he should probably keep handy the next time he tries to give Grimlock a pep talk.
