Stranglehold (Earth-7045)

A brainless brawler of a bot, Stranglehold is the Decepticon equivalent of the stereotypical wrestler. Stranglehold has absolutely no qualms about cheating and will do anything to win. He even carries a gun that saps the strength of its targets, making them too weak to fight back. Just how he likes them.

Weaknesses

Equipment

 * Pretender Shell: As a Pretender, Stranglehold takes on the appearance of a human wrestler.

Transportation

 * Beast alternate mode
 * GroundBridge: A scaled-down iteration of space bridge technology, a GroundBridge allows transport to coordinates on a single planet, or even (with great difficulty) into the planet's orbit. Considerably easier to maintain and less costly in energon to operate, it is the primary means of coordinating Transformer forces on planets.

Weapons

 * Ball & Chain: can be wielded in robot mode and while in his Pretender shell.


 * Brawn blaster rifle: it actually saps the energy supply of its target, rendering them physically weak and even easier for the burly Decepticon to thump. Seems unsporting, doesn't it? To date Stranglehold does not appear to care.


 * Concussion blaster: wielded while in his Pretender shell.


 * Arm shield: wielded while in his Pretender shell.
