No demon servants, final destination, no items. Come on, it's just not competitive if you have to deal with all that other stuff.

Yeah, but I don't like being banned.

[Vgray]

Can we talk about Space Pirates instead?

[Dutchling]

Or pirate ninjas from dino island?

Now then. A Mark XXX Bolo vs. an Imperator-class Titan.

Starchild VS. dark energy.

[Xantalos]

Matt Ward vs the actually good Ultramarines.

Can we talk about Space Pirates instead?

Haven't their morph ball attempts ended in similar levels of squick?

I tried to find a suitable gif but there were none.

Actually, idea.
Uniman from Axe Cop (with the capacity to make infinite wishes of infinite power, infinitely smart) versus everyone.

Now then. A Mark XXX Bolo vs. an Imperator-class Titan.

The Titan. According to the (admittedly shaky) stats I've heard, Imperator Titans have single guns that are larger than a Mark XXX Bolo. Then again, it's hard to argue against Hellbores that can gun down battleships in orbit.

Now the. A Mark XXX Bolo vs. an Imperator-class Titan.

That, uh. That would... I'm not actually sure who would win, there. I don't quite know how on the ball a mark thirty bolo was, but more than a few of their later models... I mean, an Imperator is basically anti-continent, I guess, but the higher end Bolos were system defense units. They provided anti-ship and anti-unit defense for an entire bloody solar system. I'm only somewhat disbelieving that a (upper mark) Bolo could land itself on a forge world (though maybe not Mars, or something in the Terran system) and just law waste to the joint.

Bolos are freaking incredible. The real question, of course, is what happens when you have an Imperator-class Titan/Bolo gattai. Or any similar-scale mecha/Bolo combination. Because if there's anything a giant robot the size of a large building/small town needs it's hyper-advanced intelligence and the ability to swat space-faring warships out of orbit.

More realistically, I'd imagine the Bolo would join sides or somethin'. Now, if it ran into one of the non-human Titans of similar heft, there'd probably be a showdown.

E: And to Sirus's point, those hellbores, yeah. Combined with the ability to land a shot from a loooong ways away Not sure what sort of range or movement speed an Imperator has. Bolos were pretty frisky on the ground speed front.

[Sirus]

Hold up there, Frumple. System-defense units? They're basically immobile in space terms and all of their best weapons are limited to LoS. It'd make for a fantastic opening surprise attack on an enemy fleet, but all the remaining elements of the fleet would have to do is point their own direct-fire energy weapons at the 30,000 ton mass of metal and pull the trigger. Either that or unleash a barrage of capital-grade missiles, though the Bolos have some fantastic point-defense systems to counteract that.

[Frumple]

I think so, anyway, but it may have been something weird with a really high mark critter. Could have sworn I read it in an actual book, but... who knows. I could definitely be misremembering something, and rummaging is having trouble turning anything up.

Hellrails are pretty rad, though
