I have really gotten good with Super Optimus Prime

[thecasualoblivion]

I can kill things, with Super Optimus Prime's big missile, at any range and with consistency.

I've compared Super Optimus Prime's heavy missile to Overhaul and Megatron's Blasts, small/medium/Grievous missiles, and the force/web blasts of Star Wars and Marvel figures. While Super Optimus Prime has a reputation for being a short range figure, his shot travels almost as far as Overhaul or Megatron's bullet, and travels a lot farther than any of the Force Blasters, and also travels faster which means harder hits.

Combined with the underrated range of his missile, loads and loads of using this figure in games has taught me how to angle the shot to travel the length of the table so well that I can do it right almost every time. Combined with how heavy the missile is, this means I can kill anything, anywhere on the table, and do it often.

Its just unreal how great Super Optimus Prime is, especially when you start to get really good at him.

Add his reputation for being hard to kill, and youve got yourself a winner right there.

His missile can be lobbed too, by rotating his arm up so he points the gun backwards over his head.

Just curious when that would be neccessary and how accurate can that be?

I'm not sure when exactly that would be in inches or tix. The missile has greater range than Star Wars force blasts, but less than normal missiles. As for accuracy, I'm about 90% accurate with it at this point, but I use Super Optimus Prime in nearly 50% of my games.

I don't have much practice with using Optimus (I kinda consider him 'too good', so I don't use him very often). Most of the time, he's used against me, and everytime I think I've found a consistent way of knocking him down, it stops working! Must be due to slight differences of how his arms are positioned, etc.

I think hes really easy to kill i've killed him with a battle droid on a 3 ft table on many occasions at the start!
