    Ultra Magnus
    Allegiance: Autobot
    Function: City Commander

    "Consistency is victory."

    Profile: Ultra Magnus is all soldier. He is most comfortable when he is carrying out Optimus Prime's orders - giving it all of his magnificent fighting skills, courage and gift for battlefield improvisation. And he is uncomfortable when the mantle of leadership is placed over his broad shoulders. He sees himself as a follower, not a commander, and is reluctant to assume authority until it is clear that he has no choice but to lead. And when he does finally lead, he is resolute, fair and courageous beyond reproach. He is ever-ready to sacrifice himself for the good of his companions and mission, and unstinting in his preparedness so that his "people" will be as protected as possible.

    Abilities: Ultra Magnus carries missile launchers capable of hitting a target 30 miles away.


    Drillhorn
    Allegiance:
    Decepticon
    Sub-Group: Breastforce
    Function: Strategist

    Transformation: Drill Tank

    Abilities: Has a symbol of evil, the "Rhino Breast," built into him. Can push his way in any direction underground from the surface. His breast weapon fires an X-ray beam that works just as well underground.

    Weapons: Horn Cannon

    Final Attack: The "Magma Bomber" - Burrowing rapidly through the ground, he channels fiery magma to bodily strike the enemy. Thanks to the tough armour of which he's so proud, he remains unharmed.

    Profile: A persistent sort, once he gets an idea into his head, he single-mindedly refuses to listen to anyone else. He's a veteran strategist, never neglecting to check all points of the battlefield. However, he also commits major errors by adhering too much to past battles and experience.

    Tech Specs
    Strength: Ultra Magnus 9 Drillhorn 9
    Intelligence: Ultra Magnus 9 Drillhorn 9
    Speed: Ultra Magnus 6 Drillhorn 6
    Endurance: Ultra Magnus 8 Drillhorn 10
    Rank: Ultra Magnus 8 Drillhorn 8
    Courage: Ultra Magnus 9 Drillhorn 7
    Firepower: Ultra Magnus 6 Drillhorn 7
    Skill: Ultra Magnus 8 Drillhorn 7

    This has to be one of the closest matches we've had in terms of tech specs.

    Drillhorn can go underground and execute sneak attacks and has higher endurance and firepower compared to Magnus. This is a very close fight that Magnus could potentially squeek a win out of with skill and luck, but just barely.

    Magnus probably would put up a fight, but I think that, from a cartoon viewpoint of these characters, Drillhorn has the upper hand.

    This is a very close match, but I think I'm going to be voting for Drillhorn here, simply because of the advantage his alternate mode gives him in this terrain. He'll be a lot more maneuverable in Yellowstone National Park than Magnus could be, and that, combined with his good Firepower and his maxed-out Endurance score, would be enough to just barely tip the odds in his favor. Drillhorn wins, but he won't be in good shape at the end of the fight.

    Going to go with Drillhorn on this one. Magnus doesn't have a good durability record.
