Sword Masters, can we add 1-2 more bots into this Synergy?

How about adding Grimlock and Motor? These 2 bots are both underused in my opinion.
Thanks for listening!

    Looks like the cost of admission for sword masters is being able to stack bleed. If the bot's weapon looks like a sword, but hits like a stick, no soup for you.

    From our data on Bot usage, I can tell you that the Swordmaster Synergy is still a very powerful one, and still gets utilized quite a bit. I'm not sure if we'd want to add more Bots to it, but I will raise this to our team!

    Grimlock and Motormaster use swords but I don't think they're as skilled as the other characters. Grimlock uses a sword because it fits his barbaric nature. Motormaster uses a sword mostly for the electric blasts. Well, from what I believe.

    Please no Motormaster, the guy hits hard enough as it is. Imagine adding bleeds to his melee, lol. :o

    Some of us here actually did discuss this several months ago. The conclusions were:

    1. That Grimlock and Motormaster are not really skilled sword fighters, they are just brutes who happen to use swords.

    2. Brawlers have low crit rates so it might not even be worthwhile for them to be sword masters seeing as crits are necessary to even have a chance to inflict bleed.

    Edit: Just to be clear , I guess it isn't necessary for Swordmasters to inflict bleeds with their swords, as is the case with Dinobot, but the synergy increases crit rate and that might not be a good thing when fighting a Bonecrusher.

    Dinobot can actually stack bleed. It’s just with his heavy attack instead of sword.

    Late 2 D Party, but hey
    I agree Motormaster needs to be a swordmaster. Even Menasor uses his blade!
    Grim, too.
    When 90% of pictures of said character WIELDS A FRIGGIN SWORD... give the fellas a bone!

    Hilarious fact: G1 Bludgeon's sword is a work of (Marvel) FICTION.
    Darn toy had him wield a TANK TURRET.
    And whatever happened to G1 Toy Megatron's awesome chrome sword

    Those short, stubby, yellow swords of his are an embarrassment.
    Get a real sword.
    Oops he listened, thus The Last Knight.

    I don't think motormaster or Grimlock need swordmaster, mostly because it doesn't fit their playstyle.
    In the case of drift and windblade, their crit rate increases and the debuff chances by extent.
    Bludgeon gets his crit damage to increase 1000 fold and I guess his bleeds get to happen more often with the crit rate boost the synergy gives.

    Then there's Motormaster and Grimlock, they will get NO benefit from a crit boost, Maybe Grimlock in the case of fighting bonecrusher if you want to look at it like that, definitely not motormaster though
