I ask this because in season 6, Tombstone seemed like it was just dropping bombs on whoever it hit.

Now the obvious answer here is “because it’s Tombstone”, but even by Tombstone’s own standards those hits on Mammoth and Jackpot were fricking massive. Plus, in previous seasons, Tombstone could generally handle throwing itself into the wall without getting immobilized. Against both Mammoth and Jackpot, the recoil launched Tombstone into the wall so hard that the impact killed it.

So far, the only other bot I’ve seen that hits that hard was Son of Whyachi, which is saying something.
