The Locust vs. The Chimera

The 300ft tall monster can just step on its head, and besides most of the locust would be turned into chimera due to the spires even the leapers can take out riftworms with sheer numbers but they will need alot. im not even mentioning half of all the forms of chimera

Guess you never played GoW cause the Riftworm isn't gonna just sit there and let it step on it's head, it's gonna tunnel holes around it, wait for it to fall, lay on it and do a deathroll. And for the part of the Locust getting turned into chimera, OK. Looks like we got genetic/biological warfare going on here. Let's look at a little thing called imusion, the planets is full of it, the alien species is gonna sucumb to within a short period of time die, perhaps go lambent and then the Chimera have got a civil war on their hands.

Why are people saying the locust would win just because it destroyed the human population faster? just because one species can do something another can't does not mean it will win in a fight. A 88lb wolf can take down an elk quicker than a 400lb gorilla but the gorilla would still win.

But this is not a wolf vs gorilla vs elk fight. These are two sentient, semi-intellegent species duking it out. Earth's ecosystem competition is null in this thread. Any ways it is evident the Locust are better combatants due to their guerilla style warfare in taking out far more people who inhabit an advanced militaristic planet. Chimera struggling against post apocalyptic humans armed with WW2 tech is not impressive.

Im not trying to be rude but cog veteran is just a fanboy he name says it all I am not sure he has even played resistance yet.

I'll have you know, i'm only half fanboy as I call for a reboot for the Gears series after the continuity rape that was Gears Judgment. I just happen to know the Gears universe very well and don't resort to insults in a debate.

Because we're dealing with two different human populations. The Seran military would kick the shit out of Earth's military. The Locust diminished more of Sera than the Chimera did of Earth. Comparing notes, I don't give the Chimera high hopes of accomplishing the same.

I have... in equal measure to Gears. I can actually identify with what he's saying. Furthermore, I see no information here pointing to you ever playing Gears, so we can only assume the same about you on behalf of Resistance.

I agree. Gears Judgment was a monumental disappointment developed only for the sake of milking the series.

Fanboy is not necessarily a derogatory title. Some are proud to admit it, and he stated that he intended no offense, but that's just me taking his word for it. However, referring to one as such is no way of making an argument.

The Rift-Worm is 8 miles long and half a mile wide, meaning that it could fit, literally, nine 300-foot tall chimeras in its mouth at any one time. Saying that a chimera could kill it by "stepping on its head" is the equivalent of claiming that a puppy could crush Shaquile O'Neal by jumping on his head. Not happening.

Your calling me a fanboy when his name has cog in it? ... wow 😂 look even on his location under his avatar it says sera... are you kidding me?

No, I'm not kidding. I've played both series, and you've displayed no true working knowledge of Gears while saying the same of him about Resistance. I consider myself the median to both of you. And no, I'm not calling you a fanboy. I'm simply implying that calling "fanboyism" is invalid for proving a point. Besides, he's not the subject matter, so it makes no difference. Also, I went on to say that fanboy is not necessarily a derogatory title. You said you meant no offense. Neither did I, so don't take it so hard.

It does not have to step on it's head it can step anywhere and the worm is pretty much dead not to mention the leapers and rollers can be found where the worm makes it's home (underground) and their LARGE numbers can keep the worm at bay.

How exactly does a single 300ft. monster plan to kill something half a mile wide by stepping on it? It would take at least 9 Leviathans laying down to even match that width (DISCOUNTING CIRCUMFERENCE). One Leviathan hasn't the mass or power output to crush a Riftworm. And infiltrating Locust territory would be a horrible idea for the Chimera because the opposition would only get gradually thicker the deeper in they went. It's within their better interest to not even attempt it.

8 miles LONG it's like a worm it may be large but it's short if a 300ft TALL monster were to apply alot of pressure along with its weight the worm won't be able to shake free or get itself in a position to dig a tunnel. A anaconda is much larger than a human but the human can stomp on it that will cause serious damage

Here you go again arguing Earth's wildlife. Anacondas are not 18x longer than us, and their width does beat our height by 9x. We would be competing with Jurrasic/Mesozoic/Triasic/Prehistoric odds if that were the case. Proportionally, humans (again Earth's) vs. anacondas doesn't even begin to compare to Leviathan vs. Riftworm.

Iol. It's also half a mile wide.

If an Anaconda was 7 times wider than a human was, than stepping on its head wouldn't do anything.

Exactly. I just made this point. It's actually 53 times if we're talking width compared to width, and that's without considering thickness or density.

As I've said, the Riftworm's WIDTH is 9x the Leviathan's HEIGHT.

Stomping the Riftworm to death also implies that the Leviathan can see the Riftworm coming and trace its trajectory. It can't because it's underground, which means it would also have to make it through the ground while still carrying enough force to kill it. The odds aren't exactly on the Leviathan's side.

The leapers and rollers are gonna get swallowed whole, by the hundreds, don't think the Riftworm can't digest them, he swallows buildings, lol. And how is it gonna step on it's head when it's underground? Riftworm is subteranean dude.

I was not trying to compare the two debates, just give an example on this world a+b does not always equal c

Ok, then lets step away from those comparisons and get on with the debate, i'm willing to.

Sigh. I thought we were done with the animal comparisons. No human can go H2H with an anaconda, humans are physically inferior to most other animals proportionally anyways.

At least my name doesn't have weasel in it 😄
