Darkstorm Zero
Master of all Decepticons
No, the argument is that Duke has defeated far tougher opponents... And if you think the Tricloid Empire is made up of a single species of Alien, your dead wrong...
The 4 boss monsters I know MC couldn't handle: as Cm said the Battlelord, Overlord, Cycloid Emperor, and the Queen would all kill MC with pitiful ease, MC has got only two weapons capable of doing any sort of significant damage to them, but nowhere near the nessisary ammo amounts to take them down with either one of them.
As for the Novel arguments, I beleive I have addressed them, you say the novels are out, which is in accordance with the rules, that leaves us with the tank flipping, guess what, MC never LIFTED those takns, Flipping tanks does not equal being able to bench press them, so no 60 tone lifting strength. Maybe 12 or 13, but nowhere near 50 or 60.
Better speed and reflexes? neither of which has been seen in game, not where the evidence counts, Duke under Steroids had a much better performance rate, much faster, turned quicker. otherwise they moved equally in game. Do you argue these facts?
