Leo, are you talking about that black hand that he used at the climax of Binicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui ? If that's what you're talking about, I disagree with you, Red, about him being able to end the battle in a second if you gave him that power. When he tried to use it to grab Vakama who was pretty much your average Toa, (hardly anything compared to say, the Toa of Light) he was able to maneuver around his hand without too much difficulty. Also, a huge weakness to this power is that it easily backfires. In this same fight, Vakama was able to trick the Makuta into grabbing large pillars. And he couldn't let go of them, and he would involuntarily reel them into himself. When he accidentally grabbed a particularly large one, he pretty much got crushed, and was vulnerable fore some time. I bet you Optimus would be able to handle it about as well. Also, he was pretty much on earth when he did this.
