    In the Ultron vs Transformers I'm going to have to go with Ultron as well.

    For Ultron to be a creditable threat in a film played up as big Avengers 2 then he's going to have to be able to stand up to Cap's shield, Iron Man's tech weapons, Thor's hammer, Hawkeye's aim, Hulk's rage, and Blackwidow's sexy, yes I know Blackwidow does more than sexy but Scarlett Johansson in that outfit can make you forget other stuff.

    Transformers have been beaten by run of the mill weapons so not as tough as something that has to stand up to a combined beating by A list superheroes.

    Maybe Prime could take Ultron since the writers just dial up his power level to insane levels whenever they feel like it. Or perhaps Bumblebee because he's got plot armor so thick you could take every science fiction villain in the history of TV and movies and it still wouldn't be enough to kill Bumblebee.

    All I see out of it is a ton of attempts at face removal and a bad script. It's all on you though.

    It was Old Man Pym, trying to get into the Avengers movie with an Ultron costume!

    And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling Autobot! And his stupid giant robot T-rex too!

    i find it hilarious that you're arguing the merits between super humans and transforming robots. lol.

    transformers are simply alien life forms that are robotic and are able to transform.. i personally find that a little more believable than a person who, with the help of gamma radiation (really?) can turn into a hulk when their BPM gets too high.. or a person who was given a super soldier serum.. i can understand tony's suit, but, what i don't understand is how he can get hit by a missile while in the air, fall to the ground and be perfectly fine. i mean, his body and brain are still stopping in an instant, and there's not nearly enough padding in that suit to cushion his fall.. so, that always seemed odd to me. thor and black widow are probably the most believable avengers to me.

    but all that being said.. why do we need to argue about which is better.. CLEARLY the story telling and characters in the marvel films are better. yes, that's an opinion, but it's an extremely popular opinion that is VERY difficult to argue against.

    what it comes down to is that one franchise seems to be taken more seriously when it comes to constructing a connected universe, while the other one doesn't isn't taken seriously, doesn't provide explanations for missing characters, or explanations for new characters.. also, another MAJOR point is that the avengers movie is about the avengers, while the transformers movies are about humans with transformers helping. i used to believe it had to do with budget.. but at this point i don't believe that.. at this point i think it's coming from the idea that was utilized for the first movie and that was to provide awe and scale. well, after a couple movies, that is lost and is no longer needed.

    oh well.

    The only transformers a can see trying to take on ultron from the bayverse are Optimus and Lockdown and maybe Sentinel. Optimus could because he has the plot armor, Lockdown might be able to because he was the best thing that happened to the movie verse, and sentinel is just straight up a good fighter(with a huge ass shield). For the argument on who would win hulk vs Bayformer its obviously the hulk, anybody in their right mind could agree with that, I mean he is literally indestructable. A better match would be hulk buster vs a transformer.

    Both of these caused heavy damage to the spark

    I said humans need to have such weapons.






    Considerign they take rocket fire to the face, and that it was obviously not a human made grenade i think its pretty self explanitory


    Considerign hes a warrior with millions of years of combat experience and has a computer for a brain, Yes


    Be
    none of these should matter, even if they did, Optimus still doged a shot trained right at him in point blank


    Do you know what Laser Guided strikes are?

    One instance that ignores all the others. Fur


    Or hes just very durable like many of the others are. Also who cares if he can't read?


    You said "Shooting some one in the face Dosen't kill them" i said not transformers because multiple transformers survive it, Devastator had a full grown bot burst through his head and it didn't even slow him down



    he took multiple shots from bumblebee while shooting him but missed, after he toook all that damage from the other autbots and military and jets.

    Also nice tryign to deflect the fact that getting an arm cut off didn't do any thing


    I'm talking about the movies, i never said any thing but the movies, your the one trying to use kid novelizations,


    I never said he wasn't, He was damaged and fairly bezerk but he was still moving and tearing shit up.

    The marines ha d just come back from a mission, and they were still receiving attack helicopters plus the ground vehicles they had


    the marines in the begining of the movie and the marines when he entered the battle in the city.

    seeing the Enemy is wrecking your shit and tanking long range fire, getting on a bike to get in close and fire from the only real blind/weakspot it has IS quick thinking

    What? no its not Dude. The hulk was Almost beaten buy the military with lesser weapons designed to simply catch him
    no Tanks no Jets only one attack copter, no sabot rounds.

    Using The fact that some transformers lose to the military WITH the support of other Transformers dose not help your case.

    Enh, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, here, since ultimately we're clearly of two different minds on these matters.

    Of course, you'll support anybody who disagrees with me because you hate my guts and actively try to tear me down every chance you get. Indirectly, of course :lol

    Humans need to have weapons, period. It doesn't matter what kind of weapon it is, humans just need it. Not sure why there has to be such a distinction.

    So.....a human made explosive device does not achieve similar if not the same result as a cybertronian made explosive device even though both go *boom* and destroy shit. Gotcha. It doesn't make any sense why one would even try to argue this because...shit....explosive devices are designed to kill/destroy. *shrugs* Whatever.

    If you're referring to this moment:

    Sentinel Prime vs Optimus Prime vs Megatron [HD] Türkçe Dublaj - YouTube

    Ummm....I hate to say it, but you're wrong. If you analyze the scene carefully, As Optimus gets up and starts running at Megatron, Megatron raises the shot gun. Optimus sees this, so before Megatron can truly "train" a shot at Optimus (as you've implied), he side steps it as he's picking up his bladed weapon and approaching in one fluid motion, begins to maul/kill Megatron even though Megatron fired off a shot that arguably is not pointed directly at Optimus. When he fired off that shot, Optimus had already side stepped. So no...he didn't "dodge" a shot because the shot hadn't been made yet. It would seem at that moment, Megatron fired off that shot in desparation in hopes it would stop Optimus from continuing to maul him. Similar action scenes have been done with humans in other movies. So....yeah.....I guess HUMAN martial arts action stars also possess Optimus' speed and agility. If that's the case, then humans are far more superior because the life span of one human is surely but a fraction of a fraction of Optimus' and....they can do the same thing! Woohoo! Go humans.

    I do, but I think he was referring to ROTF when they had that battle in the desert and the humans just laid a diarrhea of bombs at the decepticons. I don't recall any of the humans lasing the target area. Maybe I should go watch it again.

    Fur......fuzzy......

    Durable. Right. I don't think you've been watching the same Transformers movie as the rest of us.


    Granted, in that moment of battle, if he was looking for a way to stop Blackout and all hope was more or less lost, then yeah. But as you can see here:

    Transformers (10/10) Movie CLIP - Taking Down Blackout (2007) HD - YouTube

    The bike was coincidentally implanted at the scene (by the story writers), and Lennox wasn't using it out of desperation or at a moment's notice. You can basically get an implication that he saw the bike and planned on using it upon arrival at that street. It wasn't apparently obvious that he was looking around for something to use. It was already there. He even said "Aim low, the armor is weak under the chest" at 0:27. You see him get on the bike and sit there waiting. For what? It would appear he was waiting for the F-22s to start shooting their missiles so he could do his thing. Quick thinking? No, not quite....that was his plan. Albeit...it was a good plan that worked out nicely.


    So you too like arguing with flawed points. Gotcha.
    Man this whole argument is getting pretty dumb. I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering the particular forum I'm in.....

    No, I like logical arguments. I see you don't like having multiple people disagree with you, I gotcha.

    Oh really? So misinterpreting scenes within the movie, and then trying to base your point off of it to "argue" with is logical? Funny....that's not what logical means...but ok.

    The last person to accuse anyone of being illogical is you. I could go into why, but that doesn't have anything to do with this thread. Unless....you want to make it so? I'll warn you, it won't go good for either of us. Moreso you than me. Or are you going to play dumb and forget what you've done and said?....Hmm? :wink:  I'll leave it at that. I strongly suggest you do the same kid.

    Nice try at a ninja edit son. But if that were the case, I wouldn't be here and replying to people. Now would I? Unfortunately for you, you can't seem to make up your mind about what you want to say. That's ok. I've noticed similar poorly styled writings elsewhere.

    But I will clarify. I do like decent intelligent conversations. I just don't like idiots. No one does really....

    Oh? Your own precious fanfic begs to differ.

    So don't go into "logical arguments" when you fail to address ones poised against you because -gasp - you can't spin it into your favor. You only like "logical arguments" when you are on top, when you have the advantage, when you think you can't lose. Actual logic has nothing to do with it.

    Hell, you had nothing to do with this thread until you realized I was involved and somebody was meeting me point-for-point in a heated debate. So you came in here to attack me indirectly. And then suddenly you start attacking another user for questioning you? Man, just...just let it go.

    Doesn't matter, it's going to be ignored again by the person it's meant for anyway.

    Which is my point about how that person outright ignores anything that doesn't feed his ego.

    Kind of like...every single one of the Transformers film bad guys, come to think of it.

    1. The device was designed to peirce and then explode.

    2. A firework goes boom too do you think that would work?

    Just cause 2 things go boom dosen't mean they are the same thing





    The Time it takes to recognize a shot is about to take place and anticipate it to move is less then a second. Most people can't even do that with a ball, prime dose it with a a Fusion cannon. You can't disregard this speed feet

    Chief Master Sergeant Epps: I hope those F-16s got good aim.
    Major Lennox: Yeah? Why's that?
    Chief Master Sergeant Epps: I told them to hit the orange smoke.
    [looks slowly at the orange smoke a few feet to his right]
    Major Lennox: You mean that orange smoke?
    Chief Master Sergeant Epps: It wasn't my best throw...
    Chief Master Sergeant Epps, Major Lennox: RUUNNN!
    [makes a break for it as the rain comes]







    Being able to get shot in the face, or Toseed through a Grindor and come out kicking is a sign of Durability.

    In AOE prime got shot through the chest at least three times.




    I'm not sure how this isn't "quick thinking"

    Still, it could end with something awkward between you and Barricade24. :I

    And who cares? That's what the ignore list is for.

    Are we talking about Que's device used to kill Starscream? If we were, then comparing it to a firecracker or a roman candle isn't really a fair comparison, nor would it even be logical as....in my experience in the military, we humans do have things that would suit that purpose just fine. Even if we didn't we could still rig a nice block of C4 that's timed to detonate to a sharp object that's also designed to pierce, making it fit the description you just made. Only difference is, it'd be human made, not Cybertronian made.

    Even better, it'd be just like Que's device.....invented. But if you're wanting to argue against that, that's fine. It would make you look like you're saying we humans wouldn't have the ingenuity to design something like that though (even though we already have).

    Actually, yes I can. Humans who train in martial arts for the purpose of fighting gain experience through sparring matches and actual fights. Those who have the "experience", as you would imply Optimus does, have shown countless times that they can perform feats (not feet :tongue:  ) that would have you sitting/standing there with your jaw dropped wondering how they were able to pull it off. But if you've never seen or experienced it yourself, then I can understand why you're arguing so passionately against a known fact.

    Ah, the sabot round scene. I think you two were talking about two different scenes then.

    Feed through a grindor? Look again:

    Transformers revange of the fallen: Devastator VS Mudflap And Skids - YouTube

    This scene would imply that he didn't really go "through" the grindor as he busts out the side of Devastator's head, not Devastator's sphincter. Your argument has been rendered invalid. Now if he came out of Devastator's rear end or belly....ok, I'd agree with you there.

    As far as your usage of "Durability" is concerned.....

    Taking the definition in it's literal term, this means that the TFs were NOT durable at all. They sustained significant damage even when being shot multiple times. Now if you were to say the Hulk is durable in that regard, I'd fully agree with you.


    Ok, then I'm going to get literal again.

    quick-thinking: definition of quick-thinking in Oxford dictionary (American English) (US)

    As I said in my previous reply, Lennox did not just grab the bike up in a moment's notice, nor did he just rev it up and speed his way towards Blackout...also in a moment's notice. It is clear, he planned it that way. If anything, I would call that damned good planning/strategizing.

    Quick thinking typically implies, you see something that's about to happen and you react with action right then and there at that given moment. Reviewing that scene again....I'm sorry Hound, but they had more than just a "moment."

    Your the one arguing for the "all things that go boom" are the same, ignoring things like "is it chemical based or energy based, is it hotter then normal, whats the shrapnel out put" ect.


    Your agreeing with me you realize that right?
    I said you need Experience, Being able to what you described is not some thing most people can do. And i doubt most people could do it with a fusion canon even with training


    This was from the ROTF scene you were talking about Actually


    Teh Grinder bits are located in his mouth, Mudflap wasn't able to hold onto his grip and was sucked into them just as the screen cut, but Devastator stil lclosed his mouth, and he withstood it.

    Their anatomy is different,t If that damage doesn't actually do damage then its still durability.



    Ok, then I'm going to get literal again.

    quick-thinking: definition of quick-thinking in Oxford dictionary (American English) (US)



    You are having narrow view of a moment, Being able to come up with a plan like that and coordinate and then execute it as quickly as he did would be quick thinking.
