Melodic Cudgel

Melodic Cudgel is Roman Torchwick's signature weapon.

Description
Melodic Cudgel appears as a normal cane, but when used for combat it raises a reticle for aiming while also uncovering the muzzle. It fires an unstable flare or discharge of what is possibly Dust, which creates a distinct whistling sound when airborne and explodes on impact.

Melodic Cudgel is shown to be able to shoot at least two types of projectiles: one with a red flare, and one with a white flare. Its explosive capabilities are enough to detonate Dust crystals, as seen when Roman fired at a red crystal in "Ruby Rose", and are capable of blowing large holes in pavement, as shown in Black and White.

It is capable of firing multiple shots in quick succession, as seen in Episode 16, displaying a high capacity of ammunition. The cane also seems capable of fending off both bladed weapons and the projectiles fired from ranged weapons, such as Sun Wukong's personal weapon, while its hook can be used to grapple opponents, disarm them, or lower their defenses, as seen when Blake Belladonna tried to launch an offensive on Roman.

Trivia

 * A cutout from the red portion at the bottom of the cane resembles Roman's symbol.
 * Roman uses Melodic Cudgel in close combat for the first time in the episode Black and White.
 * A cudgel is a short, thick stick used like a club.
 * According to the DVD commentaries for Volume 1, the reticle was a late addition to the design.
