Star Trek Vs. Star Wars

Possibly. Who's going to hit him with an arrow though?

But I remember a episode where Data was hit with a arrow and he said something on the lines of if it would have hit him a little to the left it would have damaged his circuits or some sh!t.

How would you compare Star Trek photon grenades to Star Wars thermal detonators? Maybe Star Trek "grenadiers" (if any race fielded soldiers whose main purpose was to throw/launch photon grenades at the enemy) would be able to destroy heavy weapons platforms, albeit with some precaution.

It's hard to say. The Star Wars tech's limiations and sh!t have been explored more due to Star Trek has more material to use such as the movies and the hundreds of TV episodes. Unless we count the EU then it gets more interesting. Me personally I don't have any problems using Clone Wars, The Cone Wars, comics etc. for Star Wars.

They wouldn't even attempt that.

They could just transport the photon torpedoes and quantum torpedoes into the desired location. 🙂

Badda boom. 🙂

This is from the opening post:

All EU is applicable, so long as it fulfills the canon requirements for its universe.

So, yes, EU counts in this thread.

As for Photon Grenades vs Thermal Detonators: We've seen a standard photon grenade clear a collection of rocky hills. Thermal detonators have a blast radius of about 5 to 25 meters, though specially designed thermal detonators could have a radius up to 100 meters. I'd go with the variable yield Photon Grenade, since the standard version gives more range and more versatile yield options.

I see. Does Star Trek have droids that rival Grievous' bodyguards? Or what about them commando droids I saw in The Clone Wars? Those droids are badd@ss.

What could phasers do to these kinds of droids? They'd certainly dent the Dark Troopers, MagnaGuards or droidekas; maybe by power settings 13-16 they'd be obliterated completely (or perhaps lower than setting 13)

The most dangerous droids for Star Trek I think were Data and Lore. They may not have been the most physically imposing, although they did have sweet robot stats, they were dangerous mentally. If you want half your crew incapacitated and all your command codes blocked off by a 900 character password in 4 minutes they're your answer!

The ultimate robots =The IGs
not IG assassin droids but IG-88A,B,C &D as well as IG 2000
IG-88A{or D} hacked the death star and couldve destroyed several star systems he only died when the death star did
and he was equiped with Gernades, an acid flamethrower , a blaster rifle and assault rifle ,and he could rebuild himself
4 of those vs 2 droids id say IG all the way

Data was as strong as 10 men, if I recall.

He also appeared bullet proof in First Contact.

And, he could probably type MUCH faster than 225 characters a minute.

And, he wouldn't use a symmetric key, he'd probably use a fractal encryption code, like he did in First Contact.

Yup, I'm a Star Trek nerd. 😆 😆 😆

Thanks.

But, that was established in the opening post.

And then there's photon torpedoes which have a yeild in the megatons.

Matter is matter is matter.

It would vaporize any unshielded droid, with hardly any effort.

It would probably make quick work of any droidika's shield.

Of course. The 4 minutes includes disabling half the crew and travel time.

1 yes you are
2 IGs werent men they were AI equipped assassin droid the original made his other copies after killing his creator even if he got destroyed he would just rebuild himself spray acid over Data and Lore and move on
3 also blasters arent bullets or phasers theyre much more powerful and acid isnt going to givash!t for bulletproof armor

This may seem weird, but when I was a kid, I would always make believe, when my brothers and I would play fight n'stuff, that I was an IG-88.

If you think I'm kidding, I've posted that already.

I'm a bigger Star Wars nerd. 😐

But he'll have to actually hit Data, first. 🙂

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

They're not really "much more powerful" at all. Leia took a direct hit in the arm and it caused no damage at all.

If she were to get hit there by a fully powered phaser she would have disintegrated completely.

I heart disrupters are more ugly, though. Illegal to civilians from what I hear?

Illegal in both universes I believe.

Nice weapons though.

I said "I heart". I'm missing a, ". They..." right after "disrupters."
