Strength: 6 Other Appearances: Bludgeon was always one of Simon Furman's favorites! Bludgeon played an integral role in the latter issues of the Marvel G1 TF comic series, even leading the big D's! This character was also seen years later in the TF:Armada comics, "Worlds Collide" story line as one of the 'heralds of Unicron.' There are no other incarnations of this character besides a TF:RID toy released in 2003 with the same name, a recolored G2 (air missile launch) Megatron toy. |
