Topic: What is the lamest Giant Robot weapon you've ever seen?

For me, it's any weapon that involves shooting off various giant robot parts at his opponents (like rocket punches). For example, Aphrodite A (Mazinger/Tranzor Z) is only armed with two missiles. Once she fires them off she's nearly helpless (if I remember right, her pilot wasn't much of a fighter). I call them her "Boob Missiles"... I dout any self respecting giant female robot wopuld fire her breasts at her enemies...

Five Lion Voltron's double bladed sword.

Because he spun it in his fingers several times.

And Voltron doesn't have fingers...

Honorable mention goes to Voltron's "Mighty Lion Head Attack". Not only does it match your statement about launching body parts, but it sounds like something that belongs in a hentai.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Cybertron Megatron's "gun" is actually a tire. When transforming him, you take the right wheel assembly out, swing the tire 90 degrees, and it's a weapon.

It has a little crank on top to spin the tire. We're supposed to believe the lugnut circles are weapon muzzles? Compared to my other Megatrons, he's severely under-armed.

Prolly why in the cartoon he can also shoot lightning from his hands.

I did too, but I also watched the cartoon alot as a kid. The double bladed sword would spin, but the lionhead holding it wouldn't.

The ultralight autocannon from Battletech.

Perhaps not really lame, but totally ineffective.

It took some getting used to Languiolle's boomerangs, that's for sure. They not hard once you get the hang of them, though.

On the subject of RAD and this topic, though...I can't agree with Kennatsu. I Vavel's rocket punch.

I hated the dragon heads and, well, Wufei in general. Never really noticed Qatra and his stupid gundam.

Yes, But the God and Shining Gundam Models were the test beds for the new armature system for bandai, and it rocks on so many levels, thats their only saveing grace

Now I wish Bandai would do some MG W Gundams.
