Nimrod spends the match owning the crap out of the ET’s, while the rest of his team go capture the flags.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Nimrod would be able to take on all of the ETs singlehandedly”

Powerful as the sentinel may be, you seem to be ignoring the fact that both the Predator and Zeratul have incredile cloaking capabilities.

With 50% of the team able to sneak to the target fairly undetected, that would be a massive advantage in a CTF scenario.

As could IG-88, but I am not privy to the details.

1. What hpens when a facehugger gets Robocop?

2. Can the alienside produce alien “fusions” of there own combatents(Chewbaccalien)?

3.How would Robocop and T-X fare against the aliens acid blood?

4.What does Zeratul do?

The majority of robocop is machine, I highly doubt that a facehugger will be able to impregnate him.
Chewbacca, Predator, and the alien queen will get owned.

I think on the ET side Zeratul and the Predator would be the stronger players. While on the Machines side Robocop and T-X would be the stronger players on their side. Granted I don’t know much about Nimrod. I know alittle about IG-88 but not enough.

a little info about NImrod

[quote]
Powers and abilities

Nimrod is the most highly advanced form of Sentinel robot. Nimrod can convert his outward appearance to resemble that of an ordinary human being. Nimrod can also reconstruct himself so as to make improvements in his robotic form and internal systems that will make him a more formidable opponent. Even when smashed to pieces, Nimrod can reintegrate the portions of his body to become whole again. Apparently Nimrod’s electronic consciousness can somehow exist independently of his physical body, at least temporarily.

Nimrod contains highly advanced computer systems as well as scanning devices that make it possible for him to determine whether a human being is a superhuman or not; if they are, he can determine the nature of their superhuman abilities. Like present day Sentinels, Nimrod can draw upon devices and systems within his robotic body in order to cope with or neutralize an opponent’s superhuman power once he has determined the nature of that power.

Nimrod is capable of projecting energy blasts, magnetic energy to levitate material, create force fields, and can teleport. Apparently, Nimrod has a weakness for elemental attacks such as lightning or extreme cold.

I think the Robots have this match. IG-88 alone can handle Chewi, Queen, and probably the Predator. He has fast enough reflexes that he can observe a blaster firing, calculate its trejectory, and then move his reflective plated wrists to intercept the bolt and send it where ever he wants to bolt to go. He is like a Jedi with Wonder Woman’s wrist bands in that respect. His primary rifle is a Plasma Pulse Cannon that isn’t widely used because of its destructive nature (take that all those people who say plasma weapons are outdated by the original trilogy time; plasma isn’t used because it is too powerful).

He also has some nerve gas canisters filled with some nasty stuff, but I forget the details.

Considering what has been said about Nimrod, he should be able to do quite well.

Zeratul is the only unknown factor for me.

Can Nimrod survive psionic attacks?

i personally think that nimrod could take zeratul, zeratul maybe able to damage nimrod in their first encounter, but im going with zeratul doesnt know nimrod self repairs, so he would damage nimrod and leave, allowing nimrod to reform and adapt to zeratul attacks, added to nimrod has the ability to scan his opponents and learn the strengths and powers and come up with ways to counter them.

“Oh wait, did I suggest this?

I think it was a good while ago. Nahce!”

“How about…

CTF, Round 2: Machines vs Extraterrestials

T-X / IG-88 / Robocop / Nimrod Sentinel (X-Men) vs Predator / Alien Queen / Zeratul / Chewbaca
Setting is a massive underground bunker”

The good ‘ol days…

“Powerful as the sentinel may be, you seem to be ignoring the fact that both the Predator and Zeratul have incredile cloaking capabilities.

“Doesn’t Nimrod, as a Sentinel, posess scanners which would allow him to detect a cloaked/disguised opponent?”

“As could IG-88, but I am not privy to the details”

True, but you guys just said that 50% of the machines can sniff them out…

I’d say that IG-88’s advanced scanners are on par with Boba Fett’s, if not more so… Though I don’t think IG-88 can disrupt cloak fields like Fett…

lol, Very true… And considering the fact he calculated how he was going to kill all the techs in the beginning of ‘Tales’ in the most logical pattern possible within millaseconds, and the fact that blaster bolts travel around light speed, well… lets just say at least three of the ETs are pretty screwed by IG-88 alone.

“His primary rifle is a Plasma Pulse Cannon that isn’t widely used because of its destructive nature”

Yes, the pulse cannon is quite beefy, more so than most standard particle beam rifles. With a high rate of fire, this weapon shoots highly concentrated plasma rounds that make VERY short work of even armored individuals. Swiss cheese anyone? Though it pales in comparison with IG-88’s repeater, which is nearly on par with a mounted E-WEB blaster… The results are quite… explosive. MWA HA HA!

“(take that all those people who say plasma weapons are outdated by the original trilogy time; plasma isn’t used because it is too powerful).”

Whoa whoa whoa, hold on there for a moment or two. Let’s consider the fact that the pulse cannon is an advanced form of plasma weapon first of all; a heavy hitter of sorts I suppose.

Standard plasma blasters, such as the clone sidearms we see during the… Clone Wars, were only able to vaporize a 0.5m hole in a wall made out of a substance with the tensile strength of iron after the weapon was “overcharged.”

The standard E-11 particle beam weapon, however, is able to pocket “grapefruit” sized holes into walls made out of a metal that has at least one-hundred times the tensile strength of modern-day titanium in Cloud City at standard setting. More powerful shots from the weapon were shown gutting roughly 2m holes into the Death Star’s prison walls… which were made out of durasteel.

Make of this what you will…

“He also has some nerve gas canisters filled with some nasty stuff, but I forget the details.”

Well, he has several types of gas he likes to use… His most favorite being trion gas, which if I remember correctly, turns one’s insides to goo, trifaraleen gas completely disentigrates people, plus there’s his nerve gasses and other poisons that you already mentioned…

@SirSkrunks

Zeratul sounds like the main threat from the ETs… but does he need to breath?

Hmm… He does sound like he’s made of pure uber though… I don’t know…

“No, you can still mind kill a robot, and it probably would be easier. Did those psionics try to mind kill him?”

how exactly is it easier to mind kill a machine over a living being, since machines work off data and network signals and generally nothing like the workings of a biological entities mind,
and im not a big comic book reader, so i am unsure if the psychics tried mind attacks, against him so if anyone has any info that would be great

“Zeratul could just mind kill nimrod’s computer core or whatever makes him work, thus making him non-functioning, unless he can survive having his AI destroyed.”

wait we have no evidence of zeratul psychic ablities affecting a machine so this sound like hyperbole to me, i admit zeratul sounds like a powerful entity however nimrod is built to counter beings just like him.

By telekinetically severing the cord from his AI to the Power Generator?

““So be it,” he announced, his words ringing across the rocks and making several zerg crumple to the ground, writhing. “We shall battle.””"

Nimrod is built to handle “mutants,” not Protoss that have been in debates that kick Jedi arse.

[quote]
Nimrod took time to blast Colossus and Nightcrawler next, extrapolating the latter’s teleportation destinations beforehand. He knocked both of them out, leaving the X-Men leaderless (Kurt was the leader of the group at the time).Rogue threw Wolverine at Nimrod with a “fastball special” but the latter’s adamantium claws could not penetrate the forcefield of the Sentinel. Wolverine was effectively thrown into a wall and was knocked out. Nimrod then focused on Cain again. A physical blow to Cain’s head manage to remove the latter’s helmet. Finding the head of his opponent valnurable again and inapacitated him with a “tight beam of ultra high frequency sonics”. Next, Shadowcat tried to phase within Nimrod’s body. She realized Nimrod was a robot just before his energy field stunned her and send her flying. Phoenix telekinetically collapsed the entire construction field over Nimrod but he started digging his way out of the rubble. Rogue had found enough time to absorb the powers of Colossus, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat. Colossus’ strength proved useless on the Sentinel but Rogue managed to teleport away … along with Nimrod’s arm. Severely damaged and in shock, Nimrod had trouble defending itself from further physical attacks by Rogue. Nimrod had to retreat to allow its self-repair systems to restore his missing arm[quote]

in this we see nimrod fighting juggernaut (who has strength in the 100+ tonne region), wolverine (unbreakable skeleton and centuries of combat exprience), kitty pride(phasing ability),colossus(metal skin and super strength), nightcrawler(teleporting), the phoenix(massive psychic power)

and he walked away missing an arm which he later regrow from self repair.

so im thinking he can handle him pretty well against one target

how about nimrod uses his magnetic ability to crush zeratul because he appears to wearing metal armor.

it think i have shown nimrod holding his own against a group, whose power surpasses that zeratul, added to the fact that nimrod can separate his mind from his body until it repairs itself meaning what ever psionic damage zeratul could do would be repaired and his body would adapt and make this form of attack worthless in the future.

however there is still no proof, that zeratul could use his psionic power to bypass nimrods sheilds.

[quote]how about nimrod uses his magnetic ability to crush zeratul because he appears to wearing metal armor.[quote]

Zeratul wears some unknown Protoss armor that has not proven to be magnetic.

And he is going to separate his mind before he even knows what Zeratul is capable of?

[quote]however there is still no proof, that zeratul could use his psionic power to bypass nimrods sheilds.[quote]

Do you have proof that his shields stop psionic powers?

“Zeratul wears some unknown Protoss armor that has not proven to be magnetic.”

does anyone have any info on what his armor is made of.

“And he is going to separate his mind before he even knows what Zeratul is capable of?”

He has sensors that can determine a opponents powers and ablities, so he would come up with counter-measures to zeratul.

“Do you have proof that his shields stop psionic powers?”

Nimrod has combated numerous psychic enemies, so its no hard to imagine has shields and ablities have some kind of counter-measures against psychics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aff5Lx-fkbU

7 mins in we see the x men battling nimrod including jean grey attempting a psionic attack against him.

“He has sensors that can determine a opponents powers and ablities, so he would come up with counter-measures to zeratul.”

Before he faces Zeratul and knows of his existence?

“Nimrod has combated numerous psychic enemies, so its no hard to imagine has shields and ablities have some kind of counter-measures against psychics.”

Its not hard to imagine, but does he have said capabilities? I will not assume he does.

“7 mins in we see the x men battling nimrod including jean grey attempting a psionic attack against him.”

I can’t watch youtube right now since Im home for Thanksgiving, a home that has Dial-up. Is it energy based or what?

“added nimrod can teleport so he can just transport to the flag, if anyone but zeratul is guarding it here will blast them away, grab the flag and just teleport again.”

Zeratul has shown to teleport too in the books.

[quote]ts unfortunate that you can access the video i posted, perhaps someone else can confirm nimrod being hit be a psionic attack with no ill effect to him, the video also states it only takes him a few seconds to reform.[quote]

You do know there are psionic attacks that are meant to damage the body and not the mind.

You do know we are not suppose to debate with game mechanics?

Yes yes Skrunks, we know Zeratul’s statistics are beefy…

But IG-88’s power level…….. IT’S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!! BLLAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!!!!!

[quote]Yes yes Skrunks, we know Zeratul’s statistics are beefy…

One of his clones was defeated by Boba, than Boba was defeated by a non-mobile Sarlacc pit. IG-88 is the best bounty hunter every. But it was nice when he took over the Death Star II.

The Alien queen could make lots of Alien spawn, such as runner aliens, specifically designed to get places fast. This is a CTF, so im guessing with enough aliens you could swamp the robots (ZERG RUSH!11!!) And get the flag.

“Alien queens can only make facehuggers, and those go on to infect other organic life so she could only produce aliens by sacrificing her team mates which would only help the machines.”

Chewbacca Alien? Zeratul would be out of the question, since he doesn’t have a mouth, or a stomach. Protoss FTW!

Although, the match does say ‘Massive Underground Bunker’. It doesn’t say there are other people present, but it doesn’t say there AREN’T people present. The bunker would have to have been built by someone after all.

ADMIN! Are there other biological entities capable of being facehugged inside the complex? If so, are they human, or another species? How many?

“Wouldn’t all this be considered outside help though? Including the alien spawns?”

Arguable. Being part of her biological make-up, spawning facehuggers MIGHT not be considered outside help.

Its not like she is phoning in 100 of her closest friends to the match, though. Creating minions (even if hosts are available) will take some time. The match might as well be over before she even drops a single egg. Team ET can hardly afford one person gone missing.

As for Nimrod teleporting…

I may or may not have included that on the suggestion, but I wouldn’t allow it if it was up to me. I think teleporting should be automatically banned from CTF or KotH scenarios.

Just my opinion.

I’m leaning more towards the side of the ETs just because none of them really have any defence against Zaratul’s Warp Blades. The only real danger I see on team Machine is IG88 and Nimord. All that is needed is for Zaratul to eliminate IG88 and disable Nimrod(cutting him into a 100 pieces should keep him down for awhile). Then just go for the flag since the his other team members can easily handle the XT and Robocop.

[quote]Jesus. Game mechanics, an argument does not make. Take all those in-game statistics and through them out the window. Remember, even in his own Universe, Zeratul was not always invisible. Terran missile turrets had sensors capable of picking them up and Zerg Overlords seem to have an uncanny ability to pin point where exactly cloaked enemies are. Nimrod’s may well be able to detect Zeratul. That said, Nimrod (worst name ever for a badass robot) comes to this fight with no prior knowledge of what abilities his foes have. Plus his sensors are geared to work on mutant humans. There’s no guarantee at all it’d work on extraterristrials.[quote]

Mainly, Missile Turrets and Overlords do that in game. We have only seen a Missile turret shoot down an Observer in one of the books, and I can not recall an Overlord ever detecting cloaked Dark Templar in the books as well. We do know that Kerrigan can detect Zeratul in their fight in one of the books though.

Average human? What? Protoss are far strongert and more durable physically then a human, as well as being an average of 3 meters tall. Zeratul’s would tear a normal human in two with raw strength alone.
