Description
It's random! It's Volatile! Volatile will randomly cause one of the following effects: Blind, Cripple, Shatter, Stun, or Confuse. The effect is picked at random, but each has a different chance to occur. Blind and Cripple are more likely than the other more expensive effects. Note that the energon cost charged is a flat rate (based on the 3cp cost) so when it acts as a Blind you pay more than a Blind normally costs, but when it acts as a Stun or Confuse it will cost less. It will trigger either Blind or Cripple 25% of the time, with smaller chances for the other effects.
Volatile can be seen on chemical attacks, electronic warfare attacks, or other weapons that inflict unpredictable, debilitating results.
Strategy
It might not always do what you want it to do, but it will always do something bad to your opponent. Roll with it, and have a plan to take advantage of your opponent's condition.
