Concussion weapon
Concussion blasters are a type of weapon that cause the bulk of their damage through sheer physical force. For whatever reason, they appear to be used almost exclusively by Decepticons. Soundwave uses a concussion blaster with its own adorable battery altmode. And while Stranglehold's manly Pretender shell gets its job done with a brawn blaster, the tiny terror lurking inside prefers a concussion blaster in both robot and rhino mode.
Ransack uses a high-intensity concussion blaster when he isn't eating, kicking, shredding or shocking his enemies, and Sixshot totes a pair of similarly amped-up hypersonic concussion blasters, which presumably use soundwaves to do their job.
Razorclaw has a twin concussion blaster that knocks his opponents down with capsules that add injury to injury by releasing a volatile gas.
Perceptor bucks the Decepticon trend, using a concussion rifle when he finds himself facing a problem without a solution in the back of the textbook.
