All you know of is the two stupid ass movie predators.
Exactly, Don't use movies as canon when we're debating comic creatures.
How about the predators who take on the USMC who's weapons make robocop's look like little pea shooters?
This is true, USCM use futuristic Pulserifles armed with 10mm caseless armor piercing explosive tipped rounds. = VERY effective.
Speargun rounds travel fast enough to rip limbs from people without moving the body. Sort of like whipping the cover off of a table without disturbing the things set on the table. They are strong enough to rip alien's limbs from their bodies.
In what comic book did this happen? I'm sorry, but games don't count for a sh*t
Aliens are pretty much immune to all conventional weaponry, even the USMC standard issue carbines (Which shoot uranium depleted shells) have shown to ricochet off their carapace.
Umm, what? Aliens are usually teared to shreds by Pulserifles and Smartguns. Which don't shoot uranium depleted, but 10mm caseless armor piercing explosive tipped rounds. Again, very effective. Though they are immune to everything which isn't armor piercing.
Predators' shoudler cannons track my friend, the plasma can be fired with enough charge to blow up lightly armored vehicles. The disc will follow Robo wherever he goes and saw his ass in half.
This is half true. Shoulder cannons track, but the bolts themselves don't track. They're very fast and at times the shoulder cannon has been able to calculate where the moving object will be and predict the shot hitting a fast moving target. Though the Smart disc is called smart disc because it returns to it's wielder.
[quote ]Hell, armor a pred and he'll just shrug off everything robo can fire at him, he'll impale him on his combi and keep his shiney dome for a trophy. [/quote]
Explosives would hurt him, and powerful guns would affect his flesh. His armor is very durable though.
Jrod, you just admitted to knowing nothing of elder predators, so why are you bothering to argue? Why don't you do some research into Robocop's weaponry, that was the cobra sniper rifle. Pick some comics with Predators in them, pick up the books, the movie preds were pansies compared to the hardcore comic preds. Hell, even that badass unblooded from AvP was nothing to guys like Scarface from Concrete Jungle (The game, not the book)
Movie Predators are the true predators. Comics ones are beefed up movie Predators and the Game predators.. Well, I'm not going to comment on them. Use only Comics in a comic book fight.
What evidence do you have those handguns were .44s ? Do you know what the standard issue USCM pistol is ? It's the M4-A3 pistol that fires 9mm rounds which are of almost no use against aliens. Seeing as how this is a COMIC forum, that's what you should be going by. Many times the marines open fire on aliens with their pistols in the begining of a story only to say "Oh shit, this isn't working, run!" or something along those lines.
This is true. Marines use futuristic pistols. M43A pistols are far more powerful than modern pistols. Besides, even in the movie: 'Aliens' Gorman's pistol shots didn't even harm an Alien. *Proud owner of USCM technical manual*
Where and when does Predators go up against the USCM? The PC game in which Predators get ripped in half?
Comics, novels.
Sorry. I meant 45 automatic handgun. It was either that or 9mm. Not magnum. My mistake. And that was killing aliens in Aliens(sequel) Not a magnum.
The gun was called M43A. It used the Colt model, but it was not the same gun. (Stated in the USCM technical manual) Gorman used some 9mm pistol (The model was VP-70 or something, but the gun was something different altogether.)
I asked a friend about the weapons they carried and he said that they dont carry energy weapons.
At times they do. Ask Broken Tusk.
Maybe the books and games, but surely not the movies. Arnold dodged the shoulder cannon's multiple shots. He even got hit once and didnt even bleed hardly.
Dutch's gun was hit by one. His gun was in multiple pieces next to him. He, himself wasn't hit. Not at all.
Gary Busey seemed to have dodged it in Predator 2
He was hit, just look at his face. He's all burned up. Though we don't know how powerfull setting the predator was using. (They can adjust the power of the shots) Besides, we don't know if he was using tracking at the time.
In AVP the movie, the aliens werent even moving. They were just stuck to the walls looking dumb. Nice try. And even in the game Shoulder cannon doesnt even kill with one hit unless its fully charged.
Actually, the Aliens were charging Scar, but the Queen called off the Aliens. Scar did miss couple of times, but the Aliens are lot faster than Robocop. Oh, they showed us that the gun actually tracks. (when they show Predator POV)
Watch the movie Aliens again. And Alien Ressurection.
They use futuristic weapons in both of the movies. In ARez they even look like some sort of lazer guns. Besides, Gorman's shots didn't do anything to an Alien in 'Aliens'
You only assume that a fully charged plasma cannon would blow him up. One shot from the Cobra is guaranteed to blow the Pred to chunks.
Not necessarily. It might richoet from the Predator's armor.
I just wanna know has a Pred ever shot at anything with armor like Robo before? And what was the damage done?
One took Shotgun close up to head (No mask or anything) Continued to hunt after it. Judge Dredd's gun shots. Etc They can take lots of punishment. A LOT.
The preds beast weapon really would be its stealth. But that not a factor here
How's that?
I'd put aliens at the same armored level as Robocop
I wouldn't.. Comic Aliens suck.
and you say Robocop can miss. But have you ever seen him miss? I havent. Besides when his targeting system was off slightly.
Because he has always been against humans who can't dodge bullets. Predators can.
However, the rest of their bodies is just as fragile as a humans. If anything only slightly tougher. A machine gun or chain gun would easily destroy one. Or do you think otherwise?
Sure, if we're talking about comic Aliens (They're lot weaker than movie Aliens) Modern weapons wouldn't really harm movie Aliens. (Talking about Mp5s Ak-47s)
Alien skin is as strong as steel, Pred weaponry goes threw it like Mexicans across our southern border (border patrol joke, not a Mexican joke so cool it.) Pred weaponry has also been shown to slice threw much harder substances though. Like inch thick titanium (which I beleive Robocop is made of) doors and various extra-terrestial alloys. It's pretty much portrayed as the best metal ever, and why wouldn't the best hunters in the known galaxy have it? So there's no reason why it wouldn't go straight threw Robocop with an able (in this case it's even an elder) predator.
Do you want me to post a picture of Predator's wristblades shattering. They are no adamantium.
If someone. anyone can show a pred shooting, or slicing through something as think as titanium please post a pic of it. It would be gfreatly appreciated.
I could post a shot from Predator slicing a tank open with his wristblades, but there aren't that many feats than these guys are saying there to be.
Alien skin isn't as strong as steel? To the re-education chambers with you!
You should go with him. Usually in the comics the Aliens are portrayed very weak. Humans have sliced through them with swords at times 😘
Robo's durability >> Alien's durability Though
Alien's Endurance >> Robo's endurance.
An aliens skin isnt as strong as steel. At least not the whole body. Only the top part of the head(What would appear to be a forehead).
I'm bound to agree with you here. Comic Aliens suck. Movie Aliens are more durable, stronger, faster, better at everything and smarter than their comic counterparts. I'd say Aliens are overall durable as low level Steel/iron. Robocop is more durable. He's made of titanium alloy.
Now that I've corrected some sh*t. Predators would take this. They're strong enough to rip trhough durable stuff and their plasmacasters would melt away Robocop. Their armors would take most of the punishment.
