[Loud Whispers]

I just realized something from watching old Bugs Bunny episodes: Bugs is Nyarlanthotep. It is the only thing that makes any sense.

I'm sorry but there is no such show as Bugs Bunny.

There never was.

No one knows what you were watching.

Looney Tunes, I think?

I searched it up and the only thing I could find was this:

Ha ha, you're so crazy.

HO HO HO~

Escaped Lunatic Toons. Enough said.

At the risk of being repetitive (says me): Colonel Miles Quaritch from Avatar kitted out with weaponry vs a Predator. Who wins? Do they even fight or just go hunting together?

Is Quaritch covered in mud?

Bioshock Infinite and... anything. Imagine a glorious clusterf*** where the canons of the Rapture and Columbia timelines were mushed together thanks to Tear-f***ery...

Something tells me that they'd both just go hunt some Na'vi, or perhaps some of the more vicious predators (not Predators -- predators).

I'd watch a movie about that.

Alternate idea: the RDA contract a group of Predators to kill Jake and co.

If they were on Pandora, Quartich wins because he knows the rules. Pandora's rules.
Anywhere else, I wouldn't be able to say. Depends on the equipment loadout.

To continue the discussion and continue my latest 40k binge, what would happen if all the Predators - all of them, their planets, ships, everything - were suddenly dropped into Warhammer 40k? I'm fairly sure they'd end up carving out an empire for themselves among the stars, but would they ally with the Imperium? Probably not, but still.
One last (amazing) idea: what if the Predators managed to reverse-engineer Space Marine creation?

I have no idea how good their ships etc are, but I guess it would all depend on how well they stand up to three things:

• Space fleet battles
• Full-on ground warfare
• The wargear used by the various factions

Because we typically only ever see small groups of Predators hunting small groups of ill-prepared "prey" on foot. Could they do anything against, say, an Earthshaker barrage? What about Titans? How many of their ships would it take to take on an Imperial battlecruiser? Heck, even a destroyer is well over a kilometer long and armed to the teeth. You get the picture.

As for "reverse-engineering Space Marine creation"; why would they? Running around in adamantium power armor doesn't sound like the kind of thing Predators would be in to.

As far as I can tell, everything we've seen about the Predators so far (in the movies at least - haven't read the comics but I hear they're mostly the same) is basically the equivalent of some dudes going out into the woods to hunt moose or something. Their military weapons (at least their infantry weapons) are seriously hardcore, from the one source we do have. Flamers that fire ... fire hotter then a star core, predators that are basically walking missile racks, guys who can control up to 9 of those flying disc things at once, and one particularly OP unit who carries a scythe that kills ANYTHING in 4 hits. Through the power of technobabble. I've no idea about their ship combat, though. A ship of theirs, probably standard if it's anything to go by, killinated a human cruiser with one shot and could cloak ... not much else on the space front.
It seems to me that Predators would be interested in becoming even more buffed-up than they already are, regarding the reverse-engineering the Space Marine thing. I mean, look at the regular Marines - 8 feet tall, superhuman in every way, practically immortal, blah blah blah. Now take all that and apply it to a Predator. They'd probably be 10 feet tall, by my guesses.

Honestly, that makes Predators sound either pretty goddamn stupid, horribly overconfident, or a bad case of fan wank in my book. You don't take a pellet gun to destroy a tank, and you don't take "moose-hunting equipment" to destroy nests of freaking Xenomorphs. Considering the terrible success rate on those missions we've seen of that and what just one Xeno/Pred hybrid can do to wreck stuff, I wouldn't be venturing into a Xenomorph nest without anything less than the very best equipment possible. Hell, they even die going up against regular humans. Either we've just been seeing the very worst Predators, or they're not nearly as good as they like to pretend.

My impression of human spaceship technology in the Alien/Predator universe (from what little I've seen, I'm far from an expert) indicates that it's pretty unimpressive even as far as sci-fi in general goes. Wake me when a Predator ship can take on, say, the Enterprisefrom Star Trek in a single shot and come out unscathed, and then we can discuss how effective they'd be against 40k ships.

Now, I see what you're saying about the Space Marine thing, but I'm not sure it would happen. Have the Predators shown any sign of being skilled genetic manipulators? Do they think that the Marines would just let them get away with the bodies/geneseeds of fellow Marines? And even if the Predators do manage to figure it out, remember the horrendous failure rate that humans have with the process, and they've had 10,000 years of practice. Predators strike me as a fairly small population, and they'd probably never get more than say, 100 Predator Marines (assuming they even get it to work, considering how different the species are).
