Which Lobo later claimed was because he was paid to take a dive. Yes, really.

And then there's the times it's been decided by a fan vote, which is how we get things like Lobo (who can go toe-to-toe with Superman at full strength) losing to Wolverine.

And then there are the "but my favorite characater will totes win because I say so" people.

I mean, there are some people who really approach this from a somewhat reasonable standpoint, coming up with a plausible scenario and a setting that creates a fair environment that doesn't favor one character.

My favorite stupid "why would they even fight each other" question recently was about three versions of Optimus Prime (G1, Bayverse and Aligned).

Batman obviously can beat everyone. Even Galactus. He's Batman. He's so smart, he'll just throw a Batarang and hit the weak spot at Galactus's forehead, knocking him out instantaneously.

It's almost like all drama is just manufactured pissing contests to keep us all entertained and distracted.

Or they could go White Ranger vs Scorpion route and have both win. ;P

Besides, we all know the answer is nearly always "they fight to a standstill and then team up against a common enemy."

The best way to prove this is to give an example where the match is really lopsided in favor of one character but in popularity they're either evenly matched or the weaker one is more popular.

The "who would win in a fight" discussions are really just people trying to make "which one's better" into something you can theoretically measure objectively, usually in a very specific way they think they've predetermined their favorite will win.

@Nevermore So... you're saying you didn't like DC Versus Marvel/Marvel Versus DC?

So, what happened to Hasbro's Zoids relaunch? An English dub, some stuff in southeast Asia, and now a game coming in October? That it?

Tidal wave, cause shooting water gets you nowhere.

Who would win Tidal Wave or Broadside?

Btw Happy birthday to those people in the box to the right \o/

The bottom line is obvious. It makes no literal sense to fight someone on your faction. :/

That's because you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to just stack skills and ability against each other. It's not the palace of doom, it's an episode of american gladiators.

The only obvious winners of such a fight would be the bad guys.

And what does it even matter? They should work together, not stupidly fight each other for the mindless entertainment of idiot onlookers.

Why would two good guys fight each other? What are they fighting over?

I never understood these "who would win in a fight between two good guys" discussions. They make no sense to me.

If G1 had continued we'd have had Starscream back in spirit - through Krunk, Snapdragons partner and possibly Skullcruncher unless he was mute.

There are some decent impersonators in fandubs though.

The only true Starscream voices are Steve Blum and Chris Latta, hands down.

Why they didn't have Scott McNeil voicing that Starscream, when he was the one who had imitated Chris Latta when he voiced Cobra Commander in the DiC G.I. Joe cartoon, is beyond me.

Say what you will, that was an awesome scene.

Beast Wars Starsream "I am AIR COMMANDER Starscream of the DECEPTICON BATTLEFLEET!"

I liked TF: Prime Starscream.

Hearing Starscream's screechy voice in Cyberverse has to be the most annoying thing ever in Transformers. Even his G1 voice wasn't as bad.

KUP!

Urkel!

Steeeeeeeeve.

LEEEROOOOOOOOY! jhenkenz...

Now I wonder how many Transformers we can name with the fewest possible different names.

Ransack. That's like another 20 or so.

"Prowl". There, that's at least fifteen.

Or do you want people to spam the Squawkbox with lists of 100 characters?

Oky, just one question: If I were to say "Yes, I could", how could you be sure I'm not lying?
