Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess


 * Close Range- Optimus Prime. The Axe is a bit longer, and has a bladed end on both sides, where as the Staff has two blades that face the same way. This allows Optimus to to more damage with his sweeping attacks and provides a few more options. The Axe can also catch the blades with it's curved design and disarm the more traditional blade-shaped staff.


 * Long Range- Makuta. The Shadow Beam-death things can be spammed with no down time to charge them and no ammo to run out of. Makuta's beams will be more versatile and do more damage than the more traditional bullets of the Barrage Cannon.


 * Special Weapon- Optimus Prime. The Energon Blades, combined with Prime's crazy speed and dexterity will allow him to ignore the armor, which really only covers Makuta's chest. He can easily cripple the Bionicle by tearing apart his legs and other areas first, and can move quickly enough that Makuta's reactions will be poor. He can also throw the blades if he gets desperate.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Optimus Prime. He's got better melee weapons, where most of the fighting will be, and is much faster with greater skill and experience. This shouldn't be too hard for the Autobot Commander. Till all are one!
