A human character that physically hurts Transformers?


I think it would be really cool if there was a human character that actually hurt Transformers. When I mean hurt Transformers I mean that they punch the Transformer in the face. What does everyone think?

Aside from Sam ripping an insecticon in half I'm against it without major plot-contrivances involved.

I'm all for human military hurting them or even humans with Cybertronian weapons or saws or whatever...but a bare-knuckled punch from a human hurting a Transformer?

Come on now.

Do you mean like Circuit Breaker? She could harness electricity, but I thought she sort of 'punched' them with her powers too... she messed up a lot of the characters in the old comic. Though for the movie-verse I'd rather not see super heroes fighting Transformers hand to hand...

You beat me to the PUNCH, so to speak. Josie Beller immediately came to mind when I read the topic. People who don't know who she is would first have to understand that she's not a mere flesh and bone human mortal that would be fighting the Transformers, but someone with enhanced body armour and a particular grudge towards them. In fact her spinal injury (which in the early stages would include wheelchairs and other physical aids) could easily play into a 'life and lemonade' story between herself and Chip, who is also handicapped but clearly chooses to embrace his situation and help in as many other ways as he can. Of course for this intricate human story to take place within the Bayformers universe would require Michael Bay to actually give a $#!T about characters and backstory that other people spent years developing before he took over. Why do that when you can just throw in a cheap inane love story or some ridiculous un-comical relief family members to eat up 45 minutes of film time? Sorry Circuit Breaker (and other proven human Transformers characters), there's no time for something people would actually want to see.

Clark Kent, the nerd from Smallville who got a job as a newspaper reporter could beat up a Transformer, does that count?
