Pygmy Hippo's "A skinny and bulky guy teaming up? This seems familiar." Edges

Skinny Guy:In Alternate Modes, it's pretty clear Blitzwing takes the edge over Knock Out due to the simple fact that his jet and tank have weapons, his foe's automobile doesn't. I also believe that they're more difficult to damage as well so even if Blitzwing turns into a tank mid-air, it shouldn't be any problem at least survival-wise, Knock Out on the other hand can have his paint scratched easily.

In Weapons, Knock Out does much better with a greater variety of weapons for all ranges against Blitzwing's ranged only options. The Energon Prod is definitely one of the biggest threats to Blitzwing and if it touches him, there's no doubt he'll be done for. The problem comes with the fact that Knock Out's other melee weapons aren't that special and his Resonance Blaster doesn't have different ammo types like his foe's shoulder mounted cannons. In the end, I'd say this category's even.

Overall, I have to give this to Blitzwing as his superior transformations give him the ability to keep Knock Out at a distance and just bombard him with various elemental and explosive attacks. Knock Out can't really close the distance that effectively with his lackluster transformation which could catch up to the tank but runs a huge risk of being blown to smithereens and weaker ranged weapon so ultimately I'm giving it to the Animated duo. Edge:Animated

Bulky Boi:Sigh, did Breakdown not hear my previous edges? A four-wheel drive isn't going to do any better than an automobile against a flying heavy bomber with actual weapons. Lugnut takes this edge.

In Weapons, Lugnut has more melee weapons but Breakdown has more ranged weapons making this another interesting comparison. The turrets might be mire numerous but I doubt they'll cause more damage than an energy cannon and missiles which gives Breakdown an edge at a distance. The mace and hammer are arguably even but the Punch of Kill Everything has the power of a small nuke which definitely gives Lugnut the edge up close. This would be even if it weren't for the fact that Breakdown prefers fighting up close which puts him right where Lugnut wants him.

Overall, better transformation and main weapon gives this to the Animated duo again. Edge:Animated

Final Verdict:As my edges show, I don't think the Prime duo is winning this against their Animated foes with transformations for actual combat and a decent ranged and melee combo. Knock Out and Breakdown are both going try to close the distance which is an extremely bad idea against Lugnut's POKE while Blitzwing shreds them with his shoulder mounted cannon or the latter duo just stays in the air and rain death from above. Knock Out might take one of them out with the Energon Prod but I see the other half taking him out shortly after.

Winner:Blitzwing and Lugnut
