In a fight....

[Burt]

Ok. Having an 'difference of opinion' with a friend today.
I'm a total sci-fi fan, and in my mind no sci-fi is bad. It all has it's place. But I do have some things I like more than others. But that doesn't mean I let it cloud my judgement, when debating things. I do like Trek more than Star Wars. And I feel that the weapons in Star Trek (Lasers) are less powerful than Treks (Phasers) and the Defences in Trek (Shields) are better than Star Wars (I.e. None). But just because I like Trek more, I would still argue for Star Wars if I thought it was right. I.e. the Engines in Star Wars are much more powerful than Trek.
With this in mind I remarked to my friend (A Huge SW fan) that I believed K-9 could “beat the hell” out of R2-D2 in a fight.
I’m pretty sure he could. I mean we’ve seen him take out 5-10 men in one go. He even destroyed a killer robot Parrot of death too.
R2-D2 on the other hand…well he has no real offensive capabilities, does he?

I plump for K-9!

Anyone else have a usually match up? Who do you think would win? Why?


Please God, No Kirk’s Vs Picard’s or Star Destroyers Vs Enterprise. We’ve all seen it before!

But...Kirk's toupee vs. Picard's baldness?

I'm going for K-9.

K-9 is equipped with an offensive capability. R2-D2 does not. And whilst R2 might reasonably be said to be more mobile (never mind the flying, that was just silly), we've seen that K-9 is quite effective against even flying targets.

It's no contest at all, really.

Indeed.
