General Grevious vs Termies

[Shroom Man 777]

And the badass grenade launcher.

[Macross]

Lets not underestimate the Generals abilities. Obi-Wan was a Jedi Master when he defeated Grievous. And that was only after he had been wounded by Mace Windu. Im sure he had not been fully repaired/recovered when he fought Obi-Wan. My guess is that his injuries were the reason why he was always retreaing in the movie...

[Bob the Gunslinger]

Or maybe Grievous was just a weak character.

He certainly doesn't have the gravitas or the acting chops of Ahnuld--which says a lot.

For the vs, it entirely depends on what armament the termies are able to bring and how far away they start out from the General. The T-X seemed to come with lots of nifty weapons, most of which would probably do him in. Hell, I wonder what her uber-nanites would do to him.

On the other hand, Grievous constantly shakes and twitches and runs about like a bad CGI creature animated by an ADHD cokefiend... and that's when he's only talking. He'll probably be hard to hit.

[Drooling Iguana]

Assuming that a lightsabre can cut through hyperalloy without too much trouble, Grevious takes the T-X out before she has a chance to transform her arm into the plasma gun. He then does the same to the T-800. For the T-1000, he sticks one of his lightsabres into him and waits for the extreme heat to take him out.

Give me a lightsaber and I could kill a T-800

Sure if the T-800 just stood there and did nothing. Give him a two by four and he'll own your ass. Why is everyone assuming that the termies are unarmed when the OP doesn't state that they are either unarmed or armed?

Give any Termie a decent weapon and Grievous goes down faster than a dress on prom night.

[Shroom Man 777]

That's my point. Everyone's going "oooh, Gravy's going to slice the T-800" and assuming the Termies (xcept the TX) have no armament - which is downright unfair! If Uncle Bob gets a grenade launcher, or a minigun, Gravy is DEAD!

[Lancer]

or even worse for Gravy, this is happening on the Termie's home turf, where the ones without built-in weapons get easy access to 40-mw plasma rifles. That should be sufficent to fry Gravy's internals.

[Shroom Man 777]

He has armor over them, remember? Armor that defeats blasters, or so they say (despite Gravy running away at the sight of Clonies armed with blasters). So it's not quite that clear cut. Although those anti-HK mines and rocket launchers would certainly do the job, as would a grenade launcher or a minigun (kinetic shock?).

[RedImperator]

Why does the T-1000 have to approach Grevious as a biped? We know from T2 he can flow along the ground--why can't he just wait until Grevious steps on him and form a spike to lance Grevious's heart from underneath?

[Shroom Man 777]

The T-1000, as far as we can see in the movie (dunno 'bout the novels) can't flow on the ground. In T2 he just spreaded himself out like mayo spread and then contracted himself afterwards.

[Noble Ire]

As others have said, it would all depend on what kind of weapon the Termie had. In toe to toe combat though, I would give it to Grievous. His armor aside, he has been shown to be far faster than any of the T series, and his sabers would likely make short work of him. However, if you put anything more explosive than a hand grenade in the T's hands.........

Um, you DO recall how the little blobs of himself flowed along the ground into each other, right? He might not be able to move while spread that thinly (though I don't see why not) but he doesn't have to take humanoid form to move.

[Shroom Man 777]

Point.

Though there's a difference between tiny globs and big ass sheets of liquid metal.

During the reformation scene in the steel mill, very large sheets of liquid metal flowed into each other.

And for that matter, he doesn't need to move at all. If he knows where Grevious is going to be, he can just wait until Grevious steps on him, then spike him.

[SyntaxVorlon]

I think it would work better if the T1000 did approach bipedally, run and then jump splashing himself all over Gravy.

"What happened why am I standing in this puddle of *hack*wheeze mercury?"
---Armor REND!!!!
---Spike
(or)
"AH! It's in my eyes! It-- hey it's gone? Why have I got a headache?"
---Brainmince.

[His Divine Shadow]

Well, let's be fair. The TX's refire rate sucks ass.

The flamethrower would be better. His organs are after all, somewhat exposed even with the plating.

What was the TX weapon rated at? 50-200MJ or was it more?
What would a high-calibre SW weapon be like on highest setting? 10-80MJ or what is the commonly accepted figures?

Doh!

Ah, then GREAT! I was always rooting for Robert Patrick, Arnold Schwarzenegger and whatsherface. They > weirdo russian voice actor with cough.

Give any Termie a decent weapon and Grievous goes down faster than a dress on prom night.

With the difference between the speeds we saw Grievous move in CW and RotS and the speeds we saw Arnold move in the Terminator movies, he might as well be standing still.

Gatling Gun + T-850 = dead grievous

[The Yosemite Bear]

dude how badly did they castrate him in the movies, fuck he had nano morphing shit and took starfighter grade blasts in the cartoons!

grrr.

fucking car's broke so I still haven't seen sith yet.

[Shroom Man 777]

What? Nano-morphing? And he did NOt take starfighter grade blasts in the cartoons. He RAN!

[The Yosemite Bear]

nano-morphing would be the time he absorbed Kenobi into himself, then got blasted into a shitload of pieces and THEN got back up.

[tim grail 3]

That would be the bounty hunter Durge. General Grevious doesn't show up till later.

[Shroom Man 777]

That would be Druge the bounty hunter, NOT Grevious.

*laughs at Bear's ignorance*
