Invid Royal Command Battloid Vs Megatron
Invid Royal Command Battlroid Vs Megatron

For the sakes of this match, it does fall under the “Mecha” category, despite the fact that Megatron is an intelligent life form and the battloid is is piloted by a living creature. Regardless, I don’t see Megatron having much of a chance against the Invid. With it’s ranged weapons the Royal Command Battloid can attack from a safe distance inflicting damage to Megatron. Should it get to physical combat, I think the Transformer could win the fight.

What say you?

    The Invid Royal Command Battloid is from the Robotech Series.

    Here are some urls on it’s stats:

    Hmm. The Invid Royal Battledroid is quite an imposing sight, but it’s hard to say how well it’d do against (Movie) Megatron (which I’m supposing is the opponent instead of another Megatron; there’s been like, half a dozen Megatrons and Galvatrons over the years). The Movie Megatron was able to preform interstellar flight in search of the allspark, and survive re-entry with ease (his landing spot, however, was not very favorable to ‘em). He’s also shown as being able to survive several thoudans years frozen in the Antartic and revived, fully functional (and extremely ticked off). Of course, that’s just the first movie; in the second, he’s noticable stronger, as well as gaining an additional tank mode in addition to his interstellar-travel capable spacecraft one.

    Megatron’s overall speed is debatable, since there’s no clear number ever given and some conflicting source material. In the ROTF movie, immediately after being awakened, he destroys some human vessels and leaves Earth and heads to the ruins of the Decepticon flagship Nemesis. The Nemesis is on the moon of a ringed Gas giant, which might be Saturn (it’s left ambigious in the movie), but the novelization of the movie said that the planet was in another (dead) star system. So… that would mean Megatron, without any extra assistance, is capable of (fast) Superluminal travel. If it was Saturn Megatron was capable of traveling to, it’d still be millions of miles an hour as his top speed. Either way, that’s a good deal ahead of Mach 2, the fastest the Royal Command Battledroid can achieve.

    However, speed isn’t everything. One has to take into account the armor and weaponary of the combatants, and here the Royal Command Battloid may be able to level the playing field. The Plasma and Particle Cannons have some great range as well as unlimited payloads, and the missiles will be able to do a great ammount of damage as well. I’m also supprised of the melee of the mech, which is giving me the impression it’s more agile than I thought it’d be in hand to hand. Since the movie Decepticons are explicitly stated as being vulnerable to human weapons (though significantly more durable than human veichles), one can fairly assume even Megatron wouldn’t be able to take all the firepower the Royal Command Battloid has.

    Megatron’s no slouch, though. He’s downright devestating in close combat, as seen during the scuffles in the two movies. He’s also got an extremely strong weapon in the form of of his Fusion Cannon, usable in all his modes, though with an unknown range (Megatron -really- likes fighting up close, so he’s never really shown using many ranged weapons; even when firing missiles, he’ll barely be a more than a hundred feet away). In all honesty, they’re probably fairly matched in the ammount of damage each could take from the other.

    Hmm… the battle would have to depend on if the Royal Command Battloid can dish out enough damage to take out Megatron before Megs can retaliate (at speeds far beyond what the Battlroid can match). Its best hope would to have had a lucky hit that blasted Megatron’s Spark, killing him instantly. But if Megatron can get in the first move, he’ll opt for pummeling the thing into submission, and I’m gonna have to say that he’s the far better close combat fighter, and the Royal Command Battloid just can’t match Megatron’s speed.

    Robotech is not my strong suit. My experience is mostly from Robotech: Invasion and that cameos the IRCB only breifly.

    Still, if Strife-Hira is accurate, then the Invid battloid isn’t going to have much of a chance at nailing megatron before he gets in close combat.

    It depends on who is piloting the Invid Royal Command Battloid if it is an ace than the Battloid has a chance if it’s an average pilot than Megatron will take this.

    Also, would like to point out that it’d be quite a different match depending on what Megatron is present. The G1 Cartoon Megatron probably could survive a much greater pounding, but, to be honest, he isn’t exactly the brightest bulb (or even the sharpest shot, which is kinda’ ironic considering he turns into, you know, a firearm). He’d more likely than not give get frustrated and retreat than put all his effort into defeating the Battloid. Contrast that with the Megatron from the Transformers: Cybertron series, and he’d be able to laugh off most attacks and easily stomp the poor thing, considering his armor is made from the body of Unicron, and heck, by the end of the series he looked like he was on par with characters from DBZ or something.

    Yea his match really does depend on which megatron is fighting G1? Animated? The fox kids version? Armada? Movie? Energon? Cybertron?
    Though, some would just lose, should we debate them all in one on one fights?

    Try the G1 and G2 comic.

    Megatron can withstand massive punishment and not even get a scratch. He took on all 5 dinobots without even getting a sweat. So far only Prime was able to cause a good deal of damage to him.

    When looking at a Invid Royal Command Battloid I wasn’t impressed when looking at Megatron’s capabilities. Megatron wouldn’t likely suffer much lasting damage to him in a premtive attack by one to prevent him from counter attacking. The guy survived falling through the atmosphere with out burning up. (Since SHockwave is not as tough as megatron and he survived that fall I dought any Invid could do the same)

    Also in the G2 comic Megatron did do such a feat and survived that fall even badely damaged and alot of armor missing. He got up and looked horrible then Shouted REVENGE. THen he proceeded to single handedly fight his way through an Autobot
    base to meet with Prime and you see that his armor was practically falling appart when he was doing that. I dought any Invid units are that well constructed to take that much of a beating and still be able to take of an army.
