Star Wars Junkyard Wars Semi-Final

Post by Isolder74 »

Here is a proposal

If anyone is not familiar with Junkyard Wars from TLC the premise is you turn teams loose in a junkyard with a project and the best built thing wins.

My premise

We let loose in Cloud city's junkyard several teams and lets discuss how they will do.

Image

The picture is of the Carbon Freezing Chamber but I am refering to where Chewie found C-3PO

First the Teams

Team Star WarsLuke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Boba Fett
ImageImageImageImage

Team PrequalAnakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Watto, Jango Fett
ImageImageImageImage

Team TOS Scotty, Kirk, Spock, Sulu
ImageImageImageImage

Team Imperial Admirial Piett, General Veers, Bevel Lemelisk, Grand Admirial Thrawn
ImageImageImage

Team DS-9Bengamin Sisco, Miles O'Brian, Kira Neras, Ezra Dax
ImageImageImageImage

Team SG-1Coronal Jonathan "Jack" O'Neal, Major Samantha Carter, Teal'C, Daniel Jackson

Team Cartoon NetworkDexter, Professor Utonium, Mojo Jojo, Mandark

Team EvilProfessor Moliarty(The Real One aka Sir. Arther Conan Doyle's version) , Lex Luthor, The Joker, Dr Evil

The Project

Build a vehicle for aspecial course. The Vehicle must be built with whatever is in the Junkyard. The vehicle can only require 1 hour to switch between the various legs of the race.

First section: Build a Machine that can cross a 5 meter river without hovering or getting wet ie a bridge layer. you can leave the bridge behind but if left over the gap anyone can use it.

Second section: Cross a 30 meter wide lake.

Third Leg: Climb a steep hill to the top without the use of hover ability.

For each section the points are:
5 For first place
3 For second place
2 For third place
1 for finishing

Team Prequel. Why?

* Watto owns a junkyard of his very own. He's a spare-parts and scrap dealer. Who's better qualified to go into a scrapheap and find valuble and usable mechanical components?

* Anakin and Obi-Wan can probably perform the force ability that Horn used in I, Jedi (stop groaning at the back!) to meld the parts of his lightsaber into a super-efficient whole. Imagine these two doing that to a buggy chassis. Plus Anakin's a top pilot, and both are probably highly trained to operate a vast array of vehicles on varied terrain.

* Jango Fett's a good all-rounder. As one of the hardest warriors of all history, he's not likely to lack anythhing in terms of driving and piloting skills. Plus he's going to be damned handy when the contest inevitably descends into a vehicle-based running gun battle and punch-up when Team Evil and/or Team Cartoon lose the race. Team Prequel have a kick-ass bounty hunter in a cool gadget-packed armoured suit, and a pair of Jedi Knights. How can they fail if the faeces finally hits the fan when Dexter has a tantrum and calls up a 50-foot flying assault robot with a bigass gun? Watto can steer the truck while the others defend themselves / indiscriminately kick arse.

Team Star Wars. If Han and Chewie can fix the Falcon, the can build anything. Plus, all for are top pilots, and Luke is a Jedi as well. Boba has all of Jango's skills, plus his own experience (Hey, surviving the sarlacc has to teach you something, right?). Boba also manages to stave off Slave-1's obsolesence. And when push comes to shove, three blasters, a bowcaster, and a lightsabre are better a <insert infantry weapon of choice>.

Ouch Mortal Enemys? There are other CN Scientists you could use you know, Any of the Gundum Scientists for Example or that odd guy from DBZ who runs Capsol Corp would be better than deadly enemys from just two shows :D

But then agian if it was a GS, DBZ-CCG, Plus Dextor and Mojo that would be one hard to beat team...

Team Star Wars: Luke looks for scrap, while Fett watches the other teams from the shadows, and strikes like lightning while their backs are turned to grab anything good they've found. Han and Chewie weld Junk randomly together until it begins to look like a vehicle. Han drives the machine when it's finished.
This is a good team, with an excellant chance of winning.

Team Prequal: Anakin sulks because he isn't in charge and hover vehicles arn't allowed. Watto steals some good stuff from the other teams, but puts a big bet on one of the other teams winning. Jango Fett ignores the others and builds his own machine. Kenobi spends a lot of time trying to cajole the others into working as a team, while getting Anakin to do the technical stuff. Eventually Jango's machine is finished, and he reluctantly lets Anakin drive it.
With Anakin driving victory is possible, even so this team isn't as good as some of the others.

Team TOS: Scotty and Spock put their head together to come up with a good design and build it. Sulu goes out to find scrap. Kirk... encourages the... others. Sulu drives the vehicle when it's built.
This is another good team.

Team Imperial: Bevel Lemelisk dies horribly when a pile of junk falls on him, Jango just happens to be first to be first on the scene but is unable to save the poor defenseless EU engineer :twisted: Thrawn mistakes some particularly twisted piece of junk for Bespin art and spends the entire time staring at it thoughtfully with his chin in his hand. Veers and Piett put their heads together and come up with a simple workable plan, but they lack man-power and engineering skills to do a good job, but they do finish their design. Veers drives it when it's finished, though they don't stand much of a chance of victory.

Team DS-9: Miles and Dax come up with a design, while Sisco and Kira search the junk piles. The design isn't as good as Team TOSs, and neither Sisco or Kira are much good at finding stuff. But Kira eventually steals some good stuff from the other teams, and the design eventually works. Dax drives it, but none of this team are really good engineers or drivers.

Team SG-1: Carter and Jackson come up with a design, while O'neil and Teal'c search the junk. Their lack of understanding of the technology hampers them, and they have difficulty getting their machine to work. O'neil eventually drives the vehicle, but his lack of trust in it means he goes much slower and more cautiously than the other teams.

Team Cartoon Network: Dexter is the only one here that I know, and I'm sure he would have brilliant plans for his vehicle and the ability to build it. But I'm not sure that he would find the junk to build his design, and the eventual vehicle would be a terrible disappointment to him. None the less, it would still be a good performer, only limited by the skills of the driver.

Team Evil: The first team discussion would go ary, and the team members would all storm off to the junk yard individually, with no team coordination. But a desire to win would eventually force them to compromise and more or less work together. They'd hammer together a workable design out of the assorted junk gathered individually. The eventual vehicle would look hideous, with some parts reminicient of Edwardian England, some late 20's century input, some parts from a clowns car and some parts being destinctly 1960's inspired. What saves this team is that they'd put a lot of individual effort into screwing up all the other teams, while still managing somehow to make a working vehicle of their own. On the down side, they'd also put a lot of effort into undermining the other members of their own team.
The joker would probably drive it in the end, but the other team members would all be terrible back-seat drivers.
This team wouldn't win, and the mutual recriminations might become leathal, so stand well back.

So overall either the TOS team or team SW would win, with the Prequal team probably coming in third.

Assuming Jango or Boba does not go on giant killing spree(No killing anyone else right? :twisted: )

Acutal coming back to the Cartoon Network Team Considering the Building Styles off all Four Scientists I'm thinking its going to be a Giant Mech of some Sort(Mojo? Mechs, Dexter? Mechs, Mandark? Mechs, but better than Dexters! ,No its not! Is to, No its not! :D and ProfesU only achivement besides Chemical X was a Giant Mech Protective Suit )

This team has a clear advanatge in shear phyiscis violating abilites, As long as both Dex and Mandark have Wrenchs no matter what scrap they get(tin-foil, some string and a old soda bottle, its does not matter) they still will some-how manage to make a ten to twenty foot-Tall Mech which will be the best machine but the lack of piloting will get them in the end(Mojo's the only Decent one but somthing tells me He'd *Borrow the Mech to go Conqure the nearst City at some point)

I'm going with Team TOS. Scotty and Spock could be just about anything from junk. Sulu could pilot the vehicle. Kirk, I think, would spend his time seducing the women. Kirk would be gathering info about the other teams' designs.

BTW the first 4 teams are the top 4 winners from my origional Junkyards Wars. needless to say all of the Star Wars teams made it to the semi finals. I add Team DS-9 to keep trekkies from saying I not being fair. I hope that the outcome on this one will be interesting since the top 4 winners here will go to the finals. No new teams in the finals, and I have already have a project planned

Good points this is one of the best teams

Team Prequal: Anakin sulks because he isn't in charge and hover vehicles arn't allowed. Watto steals some good stuff from the other teams, but puts a big bet on one of the other teams winning. Jango Fett ignores the others and builds his own machine. Kenobi spends a lot of time trying to cajole the others into working as a team, while getting Anakin to do the technical stuff. Eventually Jango's machine is finished, and he reluctantly lets Anakin drive it.
With Anakin driving victory is possible, even so this team isn't as good as some of the others.

I don't know about Ani having to be in charge. I think this Team would work togather rather well.

Team TOS: Scotty and Spock put their head together to come up with a good design and build it. Sulu goes out to find scrap. Kirk... encourages the... others. Sulu drives the vehicle when it's built.
This is another good team.

Kirk can help build(do we all forget Kirk helped Scotty get the Constellation up and running in The Doomsday Machine) so in this team we have 2 who can come up with a good plan, 3 who can build, 2 who can pilot, and 3 who can defend parts.

Team Imperial: Bevel Lemelisk dies horribly when a pile of junk falls on him, Jango just happens to be first to be first on the scene but is unable to save the poor defenseless EU engineer :twisted: Thrawn mistakes some particularly twisted piece of junk for Bespin art and spends the entire time staring at it thoughtfully with his chin in his hand. Veers and Piett put their heads together and come up with a simple workable plan, but they lack man-power and engineering skills to do a good job, but they do finish their design. Veers drives it when it's finished, though they don't stand much of a chance of victory.

Throwing out Bevel already? he is there to help better balance this team

Team DS-9: Miles and Dax come up with a design, while Sisco and Kira search the junk piles. The design isn't as good as Team TOSs, and neither Sisco or Kira are much good at finding stuff. But Kira eventually steals some good stuff from the other teams, and the design eventually works. Dax drives it, but none of this team are really good engineers or drivers.

Some very good points

Their lack of understanding of the technology hampers them, and they have difficulty getting their machine to work. O'neil eventually drives the vehicle, but his lack of trust in it means he goes much slower and more cautiously than the other teams.

These guys are used to dealing with unfamiliar Technology so that shouldn't be much of a factor

Team Cartoon Network: Dexter is the only one here that I know, and I'm sure he would have brilliant plans for his vehicle and the ability to build it. But I'm not sure that he would find the junk to build his design, and the eventual vehicle would be a terrible disappointment to him. None the less, it would still be a good performer, only limited by the skills of the driver.

Perhaps

Team Evil: The first team discussion would go ary, and the team members would all storm off to the junk yard individually, with no team coordination. But a desire to win would eventually force them to compromise and more or less work together. They'd hammer together a workable design out of the assorted junk gathered individually.

The joker would probably drive it in the end, but the other team members would all be terrible back-seat drivers.
This team wouldn't win, and the mutual recriminations might become leathal, so stand well back.

So Team Evil would short-circuit itself

So overall either the TOS team or team SW would win, with the Prequal team probably coming in third.

1. Where the hell did you get that pic of thrawn.
2. Why did you use the shitty dax
3. I'm lazy so I'll only comment on the new ones.
Team SG-1: Coronal Jonathan "Jack" O'Neal, Major Samantha Carter, Teal'C, Daniel Jackson
Jack and Teal'C can get parts and end up in a draw with pretty much with everyone else in a fight. Jackson find some interesting texts and pisses away his time trying to translate them. Gets killed by a Fett. Carter can make a good sturdy reactor but is stuck with an overall crappy vehicle.
Team Cartoon Network: Dexter, Professor Utonium, Mojo Jojo, Mandark Together they build an overkill craft that would waste everyone in the contest, but they are constantly sabotoging each other and it just blows up at the start.
Team Evil: Professor Moliarty(The Real One aka Sir. Arther Conan Doyle's version) , Lex Luthor, The Joker, Dr Evil
Most of these guys are just leaders, only moliarty could build something, but Dr. Evil, Lex and the Joker will kill each other and probly Moliarty in the process struggling for control. But the victory holds ISoldier hostage and on paper wins, but really never even competed.

Over all I think Team Imperial wins this one, lack of hovercraft kills it for the first two teams, and the others really aren't compotion. Personally I think the compotions weren't very good for this one.

OH and where the FUCK DID you get that pic of thrawn. I swear to god it scares the shit out of me.

Don't you think they'd fair a little better than that.

So they wouldn't get along

They would have to get past Asarta and Tenalin Ka

Why isn't there a team next gen?

Picard, Weasel, Geordi, Data

If the judges are female, then: Picard goes and talks to the judges. Weasel, Geordi and Data go around "looking" at everyone elses designs. After Weasel, Geordi and Data "look" any given team's design, the model breaks. Judges ignore all complaints because they're too busy listening to Picard talk. When team Prequel comes to complain, it is Obi-wan who does the complaining. Judges realise that he bears a striking resemblance to Ewan McGregor, and drop Picard for him. Team next gen gets kicked out of the competition for cheating.

OR SO IT SEEMS!


Heh Acutal Thrawns a good enough Stratagist and Motivator that he could easly have Lemeisk build a racer of some sort, Once's he's started he has Veers then goes around to the other contestants and distracts them with information about themsleves

Like the Fact that Obi will be killed by Anakin that Jango your son is trying to beat you, that Solo is realy O'Neals old drinking buddy and he never paid him back for that time in Tianwna and trying to Hire Mojo away to work for the Empire after this :D

If anyone is not familiar with Junkyard Wars from TLC the premise is you turn teams loose in a junkyard with a project and the best built thing wins.

My premise

We let loose in Cloud city's junkyard several teams and lets discuss how they will do.


The picture is of the Carbon Freezing Chamber but I am refering to where Chewie found C-3PO

First the Teams

Team Star WarsLuke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Boba Fett



Han and Chewie are very good engineers. Luke has some abbility. Boba has kept the Slave 1 in good shape. All 4 are good pilots and can fight.
Team PrequalAnakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Watto, Jango Fett


Anakin can build. Watto can scavenge. Kenobi and Jango could steal. Everyone except Watto could fly.
Team TOS Scotty, Kirk, Spock, Sulu


Scotty makes something. Kirk bangs the nearest chick. Spock says "most illogical" Sulu drives.
Team Imperial Admirial Piett, General Veers, Bevel Lemelisk, Grand Admirial Thrawn


Bevel Lemelisk builds a superweapon. Veers drives it. Thrawn maniulates. All the other racers are blown up.
Team DS-9Bengamin Sisco, Miles O'Brian, Kira Neras, Ezra Dax

With junk their racer will break down and have a warp core breach.
Team SG-1Coronal Jonathan "Jack" O'Neal, Major Samantha Carter, Teal'C, Daniel Jackson

The tech is too different. I doubt they can make something good.
Team Cartoon NetworkDexter, Professor Utonium, Mojo Jojo, Mandark

Dexter and Mandark sabotage each others.
Team EvilProfessor Moliarty(The Real One aka Sir. Arther Conan Doyle's version) , Lex Luthor, The Joker, Dr Evil

They all kill each other.


PLACES:

1. Imperial team. Their superweapon blows up any racer.
2. SW team. Really good members.
3.(quite close behind 2nd) Prequel team. See above.
4. TOS team. Scotty will make something.
5. SG1 team. They might make something.
Tied for 6. DS9 and Cartoon team. D69's breaks down, Cartoons sabotage.
7. Evil team. They all kill each other.

They would fair well

Team PrequalAnakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Watto, Jango Fett
Anakin can build. Watto can scavenge. Kenobi and Jango could steal. Everyone except Watto could fly.

They are a well balenced team

Team TOS Scotty, Kirk, Spock, Sulu
Scotty makes something. Kirk bangs the nearest chick. Spock says "most illogical" Sulu drives.

once again the only competition from Star Trek
Team Imperial Admirial Piett, General Veers, Bevel Lemelisk, Grand Admirial Thrawn
Bevel Lemelisk builds a superweapon. Veers drives it. Thrawn maniulates. All the other racers are blown up.

No killing anyone

Team DS-9Bengamin Sisco, Miles O'Brian, Kira Neras, Ezra Dax

True

Team SG-1Coronal Jonathan "Jack" O'Neal, Major Samantha Carter, Teal'C, Daniel Jackson

if you want there can be SG-1 Stuff the trash can
Team Cartoon NetworkDexter, Professor Utonium, Mojo Jojo, Mandark
Dexter and Mandark sabotage each others.


Maybe

Team EvilProfessor Moliarty(The Real One aka Sir. Arther Conan Doyle's version) , Lex Luthor, The Joker, Dr Evil
They all kill each other.

but they are all geniouses

Heh Acutal Thrawns a good enough Stratagist and Motivator that he could easly have Lemeisk build a racer of some sort, Once's he's started he has Veers then goes around to the other contestants and distracts them with information about themsleves

Like the Fact that Obi will be killed by Anakin that Jango your son is trying to beat you, that Solo is realy O'Neals old drinking buddy and he never paid him back for that time in Tianwna and trying to Hire Mojo away to work for the Empire after this :D
