Kabam have delivered their July update to Transformers: Forged to Fight players, and we have a very nice addition to the ranks: G1 Tantrum.
You will be able to add Tantrum to your ranks of playable characters from July 12th at 10.00 AM PDT. Rather than looking similar to his new Power Of The Primes incarnation, the design is more stylized in both modes, and we are sure players will love it.
The full Bot Intel Report can be found here at the official Forged To Fight website. You can also read on for the full profile and stats after the jump and then join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards!
BOT INTEL REPORT – TANTRUM
Add Tantrum to your roster July 12th at 10AM PDT!
ABOUT TANTRUM:
Faction: Decepticon
Class: Brawler
Anger is all Tantrum knows and violence is all he understands, so don’t expect to find reason or measure in his actions. As an ancestor of modern Predacons, Tantrum’s alternate mode serves as a good indicator of his skillset and overall bullish temperament.
STATS AND ABILITIES:
2-Star:
- Health: 1942
- Attack: 181
- Max Rating: 533
3-Star:
- Health: 4768
- Attack: 385
- Max Rating: 1292
4-Star:
- Health: 12392
- Attack: 1000
- Max Rating: 3484
BASIC ABILITIES: MELEE BUFF, UNSTOPPABLE, BURN
Passive
- The bot’s naturally tough Cybertronian exterior permanently provides 10% passive Armor.
- Tantrum gains an additional 25% passive Armor while Dashing forward.
Dashing and Dodging
- Dashing towards the opponent has a 100% Chance to grant a Melee Buff, increasing Melee Damage by 15~24%. [Max 10 stacks]
- If Tantrum Dodges backwards he loses all Melee Buffs.
Heavy Attacks
- 2% Chance for each Melee Buff on Tantrum to Stun the opponent for 2 seconds.
Blocking
- Holding Block allows Tantrum to Charge an Unstoppable Buff. After Charging for 1.5 seconds, Tantrum becomes Unstoppable for 3.5~4.5 seconds and does not lose Melee Buffs when Dodging backwards.
- Charging Unstoppable is 8% faster for each Melee Buff on Tantrum.
- Once Unstoppable expires Tantrum must Cool Off and cannot recharge his Unstoppable for 5 seconds.
SIGNATURE ABILITY – FRENZY
Tantrum’s attacks become wild and unpredictable, punching through enemy defenses and ignoring their damaging debuffs.
Every 3 Melee Bonus Buffs
- When Tantrum gains 3 Melee Bonus Buffs he gains Frenzy, granting +10~70% Critical Chance and a 20% chance to be Unblockable for 6 seconds. Additionally, when Tantrum becomes Frenzied, he Purifies all Damaging Debuffs and cannot be inflicted with further Damaging Debuffs for the duration of Frenzy.
SPECIAL ATTACKS:
Special 1 – Flamethrower
Tantrum is always hot headed.
- 10% chance for each Melee Buff on Tantrum to inflict Burn, dealing heat damage equal to 50~70% of Attack Rating over 4 seconds.
Special 2 – Electro-Sword
Prepare to be jolted by the impact.
- 10% Chance for each Melee Buff on Tantrum to Stun the opponent for 3 seconds.
Special 3 – Bull Rush
Unyielding, unblockable, and completely unstoppable.
- Tantrum gains 3 Attack Buffs and goes Unstoppable for 7.5~9.5 seconds.
SYNERGY BONUSES:
Mutual – Allies – Galvatron
- +2~8% Armor
Mutual – Enemies – Blaster, Arcee
- +2~8% Attack
Outgoing – Beast Ancestor – All Beast War Bots
- After each Heavy Attack, this bot gains a Beast Fury buff that grants Attacks a 5~15% chance to be Unblockable for 6 seconds.
STRONG MATCH-UPS:
- Bonecrusher: Bonecrusher’s uncanny ability to inflict Bleeds will be soundly thwarted when Tantrum becomes Frenzied, leaving the walking cactus without many options.
- Optimus Primal: Primal builds Melee Buffs when attacking into a Blocking opponent, but forcing Tantrum to Block for too long will set off this bullish bot’s Unstoppable ability.
WEAK MATCH-UPS:
- Starscream: Tantrum will learn that his brute strength does nothing in the face of Starscream’s Null Ray.
- Dinobot: Dinobot was forged to be a bullfighter.
RECOMMENDED MODULES FOR TANTRUM:
- Transwarp Cell: Ensuring Tantrum uses his Heavy Attack often is key to keep the enemy pinned down.
- Exo-Filter: The time Tantrum spends Unstoppable might just outweigh the times he is not.

maxxzander

jamarmiller
got my 3 star tantrum yesterday and now i am 500 shards away from my 4 star tantrum !
Thundermania
Good, a character that properly depicts me as a gamer. I feel properly represented.
Sludge
I fought him in the new quests. He seems like he's going to be fun to play.
Avon
Nice art.
Issy543
Looks cool. And even though I did see him when I watched G1, I never remembered his name.
Digger
What did you think?
Issy543
Nope. Had to look him up to find out more about him. If you told me he was a fan made bot, I would have believed you.
Digger
You've really never heard of tantrum?
Issy543
Never heard him before, but I’m glad they’re adding another Decepticon to the game.
Digger
Exactly. I'd love if someone made this design real. Easily better than the official.
Incepticon
What a bad ass design.
Requiem Prime
I see why Hasbro wouldn't do it, but I'd love to see a third-party make that toy, he wouldn't even need to combine.
MindChamber
I wish they had more unique transformations, and win poses
Digger
Now that’s a badass design! If only the toy was like that.
Joelibris71
Odd that the game uses the name Tantrum, but the toy doesn’t…
LegoLover58
That's a lotta bull.
