Typhon & weaponlock

This came up recently. What happens when you headlock a Typhon with weapons of "no location"? If you can lock the head, can you make attacks with its 2 other heads?

Firstly, we have to refer to the FoH: Legion of Everblight and not the Typhon card. On pg 68 in the FoH: Legion of Everblight book, it is stated that Blighted Breath and Bite is "-" location. This is an errata of the Typhon card, where no weapon location is stated.

According to Prime Mk.II pg 51, "Locking a weapon with a location of "-" has no effect on the other weapons".

Therefore, when locking a Typhon, one must declare if he/she is locking Blighted Breath or Bite. This matters because if Blighted Breath is locked, Typhon cannot make Blighted Breath attacks but the Typhon can still Bite 3 times!

Scenario A: Blighted Breath is weaponlocked.
What can be done: Typhon can make 3 Bite attacks.

Scenario B: Bite is weaponlocked.
What can be done: Typhon can make a Blighted Breath attack 3 times.

Thanks! I can't seem to find it on the official forum...Now on to the next issue...lol

So in actual fact, the rules is represented in such that the Typhoon is SUPER flexible, no matter where you lock him from, he can still attack you with 3 attack. Unless you dedicate 2 guys to lock him down... that would make sense...

Also if you lock the head (which you can) he can't attempt to break lock (at least at the moment as per rules as written) But he can freely choose to attack 3 times with his Bite or just shoot you la... i suggest Bite.

As I understand yesterday discssion, when Typhoon is headlocked, he has no choice to attempt break 3 bites? Since he have attempt with melee attack right? So he cannot actually use shoot in that situation.

Adi, typhoon weapon system in on location "-". Hence while being placed in a head lock no weapon system is actually "locked". Hence you can still freely make attacks with all weapon systems.
