Greetings, ladies and gents. As the title states. I'm looking to take up a brawler bot to R5 for pretty much all game modes, mainly spotlights and raids. The question is, which one? Cast your votes below and thanks a bunch!

If your bringing a bot to counter dot’s, bring the king.
Grimlock still ticks from damage, mv1 superior. He is best brawler
Nah, grim superior. G1 superior, bayverse inferior and all. We all know g1 has the better bots, even winning a fight with a g1 bot feels and looks better. Especially against the ugly ass bayverse bots (nothing like g1 prime dishing out a beating to his bayverse counterpart).
Grim might tick from damage, but mv1 still bleeds unless you play aggressively during the bleed. Shock block and melee seem to be more common these days in spotlight, a good level grim in the hands of a skilled player will laugh at the damage being ticked away, regardless of mv1’s heal.
Ok, minus grind attack buffs, mv1 might do more damage in the long run. But a brawler is there to deal with debuffs, which grim is best at since he purifies all debuffs. Primes usefulness in that regard ends with bleeds. If you want a bonecrusher counter from bay, bring ironhide. His melee’s don’t Crit at all, so no bleeds, and his damage output far outweighs prime, especially duped.
I’m far from saying mv1 prime is a bad bot to use, not at all. But the purposes of a brawler gives grim the nod in my book, by far in comparison to any other brawler. Bots from other classes can do more damage in most cases (tantrum and MM being exempt in certain circumstances, playing MM for his melee buffs is playing with fire by taking the damage) so bringing a brawler for all occasions of debuffs makes more sense and bringing a couple hard hitters from other classes is the most logical way forward in my view.
Plus, as a raid team, grim, g1 prime and ratchet synergise really well together. 3 bots giving 2 healers, a purifier and anti armour is enough for any raid
Grimlock will do a bit better in raids then MV1 Optimus
MV1 Optimus is still my all around Spotlight, AM bot though
Grimlock just seems more practical going against WJ on HA
Mv1 heals whenever he bleeds and melee, he is better than Grimlock, doesn't need to be duped to be good, unlike grim who would be utter trash. Mv1 superior, Grimlock inferior.
So sorry but your so wrong MV1 Optimus Prime must be duplicated to repair
But Grimlock will replace MV1 in raids in my squad
My buddy uses Grimlock in raids he can defeat Omega’s bases
As a stand alone brawler Grimlock might be best at purifying debuffs. However, Primal's versatility with Beast Purification can't be ignored.....all of a sudden you have you at least three bots that can Purifiy, very handy in harder content and especially raids.
BOY!, IT's one of his ABILITIES, NOT HIS SIG. His sig at low health activates armor and melee buff, you don't need him duped to repair because he HAS IT AS ONE OF HIS ABILITIES
No he doesn't.primal is good defensively but not the best for raids. Grimlock may purify a debuff but you must use mv1, best counter to bonecrusher, he can only have 1 bleed or if he gets 2 he purifies 1 into power .
Primal's sig doesn't purify debuffs. His sig ability makes debuff expire faster. HA doens't expire so his sig will not kick in for HA bleeds
HA will expire after one minute. And the more armor buffs Primal has, the quicker HA expires. It's a long time nonetheless.
you're right! I guess I always die before the 60 secs is up
Not the best for raids? If he is alone you are right. If he has two other beasts with him he is by far the best.
Aight. He can't be better than mv1. Primal gets armor by taking hits and you don't want to get hit. Mv1 is just better. Primal is good with synergies but mv1 is better ALONE
Most sources of Bleed are from Critical Hits.
Therefore, Optimus Primal practicully prevents Bleeds, unless it's from a Harm Accelerator, Rhinox, or Cheetor (Mv1 can't counter Cheetor either)
Mv1 can only counter bleeds, not prevent them. Therefore that's why I think Primal is greater than Mv1. Mv1 can inflict more Damage, however.
You quoted what I wrote maybe you should re-read it. Oh and by the way Primal, unless he is permanently armor broken, automatically generates an armor buff-no need to block. If he heavies it converts into a melee buff and he generates a new armor buff in 6 seconds.
It's blatantly obvious you're biased.
There's no point in having a discussion with this fellow. Me Grimlock
He does way better than MV1 Optimus against Wheeljack on the harm accelerator
MV1 Optimus is one of my all time favorite bots in this game
But I don’t see why fighting about who’s better solves anything
But he’s Michael bay
I’d say you can’t go wrong with most brawlers. Personally, I haven’t used MV1 much. Grimlock is a key part of my team and he is excellent for Raids (with Kickback and Soundwave). If you’re frustrated with too many WJs on base defence then Grimlock gets rid of him easily.
I have just started using Tantrum in Spotlights and he’s been SOOO much fun...especially vs Sharks.
I voted Grim...but there are some great Brawler options. Grindor and MotorMaster are probably now your weaker options
