Obviously assumptions must be made when dealing with two fictional universes interacting with one another. That said, the T-800 has been shown to tank explosions. As for the blaster, that is a tough one. It can beat certain metals of certain thickness, but not others. It doesn't pass through everything. If it can take down the T-800, it will not be easy.
I placed the assumption that it Boba's blaster is of a level with the plasma rifles that the Resistance uses. Maybe slightly inferior, as I can't remember if the plasma rifles used in Terminator actually had full auto fire or not, but we know that blasters in Star Wars do not tend to be, so Boba's carbine would be more akin to a plasma semi-auto/repeater than an assault rifle. And the Resistance COULD take down T-800s. Maybe not easily, but it was possible. So, point in favour to Boba.
If somebody can give me accurate stats on the lethality of both Boba's carbine and the Resistance's plasma rifles, I'll happily correct myself.
The ability to fly, as I stated in the Boba breakdown, is his biggest unique trait in this roster. Aerial recon and scouting combined with his helmet's HUD.... And in all honesty, if Boba was not defending me, that jetpack and attached rocket launcher alone instantly end this competition. He just has to do a flyby missile takedown, and it doesn't matter who I have, that rocket is going to end me. Whether he survives is dependant on if he decides to bumrush, or play it smart, but it is difficult to defend against a tactical drone strike.
There is absolutely no way I'd take Robocop over the T-800. Aside from Robocop starting with his automatic pistol (which will only deal superficial cosmetic damage to the T-800), the T-800 is vastly superior in just about every way. Robocop, as depicted in the original movies, is slow. The slowest character of the field and probably slower than most of us (depending on your fitness level). On top of that he is the least stealthy.
Except Robocop is the reliable choice. The tankiness of the T-800 (his lower jaw notwithstanding) but actually guaranteed to have a weapon. RNG dictates that it is a coin flip as to whether we appear somewhere where the T-800 can even get clothes, never mind arm himself. And in a roster of three, I don't need Robocop to be the one specifically taking down the T-800.
In fact, T-800 and Robocop aren't choices I would be bringing in to be active counter-attackers, they are the options I'd be bringing in to use that tankiness to soak up any attacks sent at me. I'm bringing one or the other as my personal bodyguard while my other two options play hunter seeker. so, having Robocop, who is guaranteed to be able to be my shadow and actually defend himself? Robocop is the preferable pick over the T-800.
I'd never take Dredd over the T-800. I think that is a one sided pounding and the T-800 is swinging the sledgehammer. The T-800 is remarkably durable and even if damaged it can kill Dredd with ease. I don't think small arms fire is going to bring him down. And one mistake on Dredd's part instantly ends the encounter.
Agreed. I was being optimistic about whether the Lawgiver would win, but at the end of the day, Dredd is not a gamechanger in this lineup. Haven't done a breakdown of his chances, but he is an ordinary human with some slightly better than standard armour and a pretty damned cool pistol. Not a pick for me to choose as my defender... especially as Dredd is also notorious for not caring about context, the law is the law, and I've probably broken a Megacity One law at some point. He'd defend me, just to put me on ice immediately after.
Riddick comes with his googles and he is typically carrying some kind of knife. That's about it. The T-800 is literally the worst matchup for Riddick. Unlike the other characters, he has zero chance to harm it with his stock setup and would be reliant on finding something in the environment with which to do it. With a random location drop, the chances are slim.
Right, thank you for confirming. So, his talent as a sniper is useless unless he scavenges a rifle. Which, like with the T-800, has potential to be screwed over by RNG so utterly. Everybody else has ranged means of removing him, and even Robocop's pistol won't have to worry as Riddick has no armour.
There is absolutely no way I'd take Robocop over the T-800. Aside from Robocop starting with his automatic pistol (which will only deal superficial cosmetic damage to the T-800), the T-800 is vastly superior in just about every way. Robocop, as depicted in the original movies, is slow. The slowest character of the field and probably slower than most of us (depending on your fitness level). On top of that he is the least stealthy.
Again, I would not take Robocop to be a counter-hunter. His job is to be my shadow, and tank any attacks sent my way. And he gets the job over the T-800 because his ability to fight back if somebody gets close is not left to chance. He starts with a gun, so Riddick approaches,
BLAM, Dredd approaches,
BLAM, T-800 approaches... ok, time to engage in a melee brawl. But those are dependant on my two counter-hunters, characters who are acknowledged hunters even ordinarily (though going by current Disney continuity, Boba is nerfed somewhat), not managing to remove those threats ahead of time.
Depending on communication and teamwork, can we just put out that a Predator and Boba acting as an aerial recon drone is OP as shit? Boba flies overhead, marks down where the hunters are. Predator goes for the T-800, because that is the biggest threat, especially if RNG means we're in a place where the Governator can arm himself. Boba goes for Dredd, as the threat with the ranged option by default. Missile strike, Dredd is gone. After that, Riddick is left. Based on Escape from Butcher's Bay, Riddick is a stealthy stalker type... but can he out-stealth a Predator? If he learns to cover himself in mud, he might just manage. But Boba doesn't have that same weakness to exploit.
And even then, he needs to get close enough to kill me when Robocop is my bodyguard. If he found a gun, he needs to get through Robocop's armour, and Robocop doesn't have that same issue. If Riddick is only armed with his shiv, he needs to get even closer without being one-shotted.
So, for me, the Predator was never in doubt. It was always going to be a toss-up between Boba and Riddick, and T-800 and Robocop. And I picked Robocop over the T-800 for reliability even in the face of RNG, and the fact that I would not be tasking him with hunter-seeker duties, but my actual protection. And Boba's ability to fly and, again, his reliable arsenal of weapons regardless of RNG put him into a space that Riddick can't fill. Riddick is smart though, and a capable hunter. Of the opposition he is the one I think would have the best odds of slipping through any gaps in the hunter-seekers' net and get close enough to kill me. He is smart enough that if he is given a hint about the Predator seeing using thermal vision, he WILL exploit that, same as Dutch did in the first Predator movie.
As ever, if I missed a detail, I will happily adjust my assessments. I am not all-knowing, just awesomeness incarnate.
And I'll get around to a breakdown of Dredd eventually... but he is the weakest of this line-up. if the Predator was the MVP auto-pick, Dredd was the opposite.
. So he can certainly be one of those enemies attempting to kill me... either Predator or the T-800 should be able to solo him no sweat.
), both of those things put him at a significant disadvantage. Predator would certainly be able to outmanoeuvre him, as would Boba, and the former, under the protection of his cloaking device, would be able to take the time to analyse Robocop's weaknesses before taking him out effortlessly.
