Are you suggesting that i'm hating on Explodo? I'm not. I was just analyzing and judging if I should buy this plant. And honestly, I might buy it if it's not $10, but it probably is. I've been using  in HttDR, and it's worked great, but it wouldn't have if it didn't have the fast recharge. For Explodo, I would have to imitate it, giving me only one more slot for anything I want, and it would have to be Blover if there were Balloon Zombies but that might only bother some people, but not me. The explosion radius is the same as Cherry Bomb's. No, it is not as tough as Tall-nut. If it were, those Jurrasic Imps at the beginning of the level in the video wouldn't have ate it in like 5 seconds, in fact, that's what Newspaer would do.

I'll make this less disorganized by making a pros and cons list for this plant:

Pros:

- It explodes apon Garg smash and other insta-kills

 - It can be used to build up zombies for mass combos

- It's a great staller and first-zombie killer

- It can be used in 2 ways. Offence and defence

- The recharge is faster than regular Wall-nut

- The sun cost is the same as regular Wall-nut

- It's a life-saver

Cons:

- It's premium

- It'll be harder to replace it.

- It'll have to be imitated in EZ's

- PF doesn't make sense for offence

- Goodbye Wall-nut

- Possibly goodbye Cherry

Yep I would totally use this if it were gemium, or cheaper than at least $8. - PF increasing defense doesn't make sense - probably Popcap would make it exploded once and regain full health. Not a bad idea, but in the video I heard that armour sound effect that regular Wall-nut has when it's PF'd, used for this nut when IT'S PF'd, which probably means it's gonna get armour when PF'd like... hmm... lets see... oh yeah, every nut ever. I like your idea so much better because people might use Explodo for offence and defence, so there should be a balance by having it's PF do something offensive, while regenerating all its health and remaining defensive.

Gee, why can't Popcap do this much thinking about making a plant and determining how people might use it?
