Hemogenizing Swarm attack!

Okay the following are let loose in the lower levels of Coruscant during Attack of the Clones:

1x Devil Gundam
1x Vajranoid
1x Thing

All start the same distance from each other as far apart as possible.

Which takes over the planet first?

Two questions.

How long did it take Devil Gundam to take over that colony at the end?
2. I take it you mean the Vajranoid hand? Remember the original form did not apear to be able to absorb that ship. Only after the it infested genocybers hand and had power.

I say DG wins in speed... Till the Vajranoid Psy-nukes it.

Before it infested the hand it was also locked up in that suit and relatively under control to

It was still able to take stuff over as it showed in it's first test flight.

And I don't know how long it took the DG to take over that colony, though I do no the Vajranoid seems to be able to take over humans a lot quicker.

I'd say the Thing has a damn good chance. Invade from the bottom up, start in the slums and infect and assimilate at will. Even if biosensors do eventually pick it up, if it played it smart then half the planet could be already done over and if it managed to takeover the military...

How about adding the Swarm from the novel prey by Michael Crichton too?

I didn't add it because I haven't had a chance to read that one yet.

Do so. It's a book that even I can read since normally Crichton has all the story telling abilities of a retarded chimp. His tech is always good though, it truly could be a real nanotech swarm from modern day.

I'd recommend the arms from lexx but with a few of them you can devour an entire planet in a few minutes-hours.

The Thing only takes over living beings. Devil Gundam took over a colony in several minutes and assimilated it. I'd say Devil Gundam bonds with the Coruscant central computer and takes over, essential becomeing every eletronic system on the planet.

Hmmmm, a planet-sized Gundam......

If we have to go penis envy then just throw a ton of EDust in and watch the place fall.

At least the Thing and Prey Swarm are realistic somewhat given future possible tech.

What's EDust?

Everything Dust, Culture building material-cum-terror weapon once Special Circumstances saw how useful it was. Scroll down and find the debate with it in.

I like my realism as well as total fantasy and technowank.

Bit it couldn't live in without the suit. It wasn't until the hand came along that it could. But I'm quibbling, ingnore me.

Out of the ones listed I'm going with Vajranoid. If he could do half of what Genocyber could or grow to equal her....Or if it did win and consume the planet and grew proptionaly in phyic power.

Ah, Culture. That explains it.

Good for you.

Ah yes I'd forgotten that initially it couldn't survive without a mind-shadow equipped environment. Of course it should be pretty interesting when the Vajranoid and Devil Gundam run into each other.. but I'm still betting on the Vajranoid, it's just a helluva lot nastierand actually seems to keep the knowledge of its victims
