〜ろ／〜え

Formationgodan: shift the last sound to the え row. ichidan: stem + ろ

This is the bare order form, and it is genuinely strong. You will hear it between close friends, from coaches, on signs and in anger, but it is not something to use with people you have just met. Reading it is far more useful than saying it.
