He prefers to call himself Optimus Prime.

This page does not have an official English name. However, all pages will use Sumo Melon to refer to it.

Sumo Melon (白瓜相扑手; pinyin: Báiguā xiàng pū shǒu) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 2.1.1 update. He can push zombies back, similar to Spring Bean and Chard Guard, with an unlimited amount of pushes and requires a cooldown after each push.

The distance in which the zombie is knocked back depends on the zombie's size, with small zombies being knocked back for 3 tiles, medium-sized zombies for 1 tiles, and no knockback for big zombies such as Gargantuars.

Origins

While he appears to be a type of melon, most likely on the "Navajo Winter", the real life plant he is based on is officially confirmed to be unknown. His name is also based on his design as a sumo wrestler.

Strategies

Use this plant as you would Chard Guard. The only difference here is that you have to protect him or else he’ll get eaten quickly. If you are stuck on a Pirate Seas level, it would be useful to use Sumo Melon with Wall-nut and Spring Bean. Plant a Wall-nut in front of the Sumo Melon and a Spring Bean nearby. This way you can push back any Imp Pirate Zombie or Swashbuckler Zombie back to Spring Bean.

Trivia

• He is the first plant in the series to be based on a sumo wrestler, with the first zombie (and entity overall) being Sumo Wrestler.
• Zombies with big hit-boxes will be brought forward by his attack, such as mechanical zombies and Gargantuars
• His Almanac entry refers to him first as "he"(他), but then refers to him as "it"(它) later on. This may be a mistake.
• His origin is unknown due to the ambiguity of his Chinese name "白瓜", as the phrase can refer to many different kinds of plants, such as Bailan melon, zucchini, oriental pickling melon and different kinds of muskmelons like Cucumis melo L Var Flexuosus Naud ("生瓜").
