Poll: Choose three defenders, the other three will try to kill you

If he'd just used the bloody flamethrower in his vambrace he'd have won that fight. The plot armour was strong with the Skywalker clan.

 

An interesting thought. While there is no reason why they wouldn't, those type of interactions start to detract from the character versus character aspect of this scenario. That, and if we go down that route, then you could simply take Boba's jetpack and fly away once it is safe to do so.

So I'd say that the characters should be limited to their own stock weapons and whatever weapons they might be able to scavenge in the environment.

 

There are no accurate stats to be provided since they are from two separate universes. We are forced to work under the mercy of assumptions. That said, the plasma rifles in Terminator do appear to be full auto (or at the very least boast burst fire) judging by the opening scenes depicted in T2.

As for their relative strengths, tough to tell. The plasma rifles are significantly larger in T2, for what that is worth. But since both universes have different tech and power sources, that only tells us so much. Here is the damage that Boba Fett's carbine does on cloud city.



That looks to be the damage caused by two shots (the third one missing). It's impossible to gauge its destructive power with any significant accuracy since we don't know what the wall is made out of. It's an interior wall in cloud city, which is not a military facility, so it's not designed to be combat resistant. I'd speculate that the T-800 purpose built combat chassis would be more durable. These are the types of assumptions that we each must make and they will influence our choices.

Only he is not more reliable. His programming is glitchy as hell; constantly at war with his human brain. A brain that looks to be suffering from some sort of severe PTSD from being "killed". He spends a significant portion of the movie under repair and/or docked in his charging station. He is the first of his kind, while the T-800 has been refined over time. A proven technology built by a super AI from the future.

The T-800 is far more reliable in every way. Programmed efficiency. Faster. Stronger. Smarter. More durable.

The thing is that Robocop has bad matchups across nearly the entire board. Maybe he can take Dredd, but that's about it.

The T-800 is literally the most resilient tank of the six. Nobody else can take the level of damage that he can. If you want a combatant to soak up damage and keep moving forward, the Arnie terminator is your man machine.

Robocop is the worst bodyguard because he is so extraordinarily slow. Unless you end up in a city where you can commandeer a vehicle, you are stuck at a rate of movement equal to his slow ass walking speed (or are forced to leave him behind). Additionally, anytime he moves he gives away your position because he is so loud. The T-800 is quiet and he can keep up with you (looks to have human speed with the added advantage that he does not tire).


There is of course one more ace I've got hidden up my sleeve, but I'll wait until my writeup.

 

Surely you mean, some OT fans. I have never made such a claim. Personally I think he is incompetent, and despite his arsenal, he does not appear on my team.

You get Dredd as depicted in the Karl Urban movie.

You guys are sleeping on Riddick. When all the other characters are fighting hard in their movies, Riddick is playing with his food. His weapons are clearly the most primitive of the bunch, but it's the man behind the blades that makes him so deadly. Tactically speaking he is the smartest of the group. He outthinks his opponents; always several steps ahead and leaving them unbalanced. It doesn't matter that they have guns and he has knives, they never see him coming. He sets traps and picks apart his opposition piece by piece. On top of that, he is extremely adaptable. He provides your team with counter assassination abilities, battlefield awareness and strategy.

Outside of the predator (who is the clear top choice), he is probably the last guy you want on the other team. You'd be dead before you ever knew he was there. You don't put him on your team primarily for his defensive ability, you put him on your team so that he is not on the opposing team. Also, of all the characters, he has the best chance to take out the Predator. I'm not saying it's a favourable matchup for him, but if Arnie and Danny Glover can do it, you best be sure that Riddick has a chance. And you don't want the star of your team going down.

He is not without flaws, which I will get to in my writeup, but he is a solid pick. Just keep him away from the T-800, which isn't an issue for me.

I never thought I'd see the day you went with Boba. Look at us, you pick the OT character while I pass him over.

 

Beskar mind you is a bit of a newer invention. The armour depicted in ROTJ, while resilient, is not as formidable as depicted in Disney's Mandalorian show. Take a look at the dent/divot in Boba's helmet:



It saved his life, but it did take damage. Formidable, but not invincible.

Also consider that his jetpack malfunctioned due to a relatively light accidental strike from a blind Solo.
