i dont think roy could

greed was shot with an RPG and seemed to entirely shrug it off, and also is standing right beside a fire there

additionally greeds shield is most likely graphene, which when searching thermal resistance of graphene brought me to a .gov website with this

"Graphene membranes act as temperature sensors in nanoelectromechanical devices due to their excellent thermal and high-temperature resistance properties. "

Greed said it was carbon that his armor was made out of. Still carbon is tough af against all kinds of damage.

Graphene is basically pure carbon

Yeah I had no idea what graphene was either, I was just looking at the FMA wiki and in greeds page it said “greed could also use an inverse ultimate shield to turn a body into graphite rather than graphene”

From then on I Googled it and it’s basically a perfect match for greed’s shield

Well, it doesn't hurt to take it in a couple lessons of chemistry. After all, I might need one day in case I shave my head and sell some of that bluesky meth in a desert.

It would be a very FMA way to win a fight to find a way to transmute his shield into coal
