Not an especially good choice. Remember, Martin can power a warp-capable fighter, its weapons, and shielding, with nothing more than his dashing good looks and a body by Cybertron. And said fighter has a weapon which is near to, if not in, Omega class.

His swords appear to have gained a similar weapon-and-shield energy field by late Exile, based on the scenes where he fired energy blades from them.

But unless you want a sword with Reflex furnace attached, this isn't particularly practical for anybody else.
