Can Marvel take down Optimus Prime?

Jericho? My point still apllies. It wasn;t in the suit so he doen't get it here.

You obviously have final word on that as thread starter.
I just just think its abit gimpy to deprive Stark of a weapon that we see him demonstrate onscreen. 🙂

Sure. Its a messy one for both sides.

I know the jericho device isnt a part of his armour. But it belongs to him. 🙂

Ok. Makes sense about Ock. I happily retract that part. 🙂

Wolverine only needs to be flung into the face. He doesnt have to hang around all day there. If Prime is busy being distracted by Spidey/Thing etc he wouldnt see it coming. Especially if Parker spider jizzes in his eyes prior to Wolverine's launch.

He might, yes, but he would be a matter of last resort or tactical advantage. Let's face it, a mac truck isn't one of the best things to use as a getaway vehicle. 😐

Belongs to him, yes, but it's not part of the Mark III load out, so unavailable. 😛

Indeed.

I'm sure it's not your intention, but you really seem to be making it out that Optimus is going to be moving as slow as molasses. The Bayformers have been shown to be very active, and very mobile, in combat, ducking and weaving, and even doing combat rolls. The team is going to have a hard time sticking to Prime.

his blaster, (which isnt rapid fire)
Sure it is.

60p2Tfno3fs&feature=relatedSee 0:08.

Considering the hits Prime takes in that fight -- particularly the barrage from Starscream and Grindor between 2:13 and 2:16 and the ridiculous cannon blast to the chest at 2:17 -- I don't see Iron Man doing very much with his repulsors.

Edit: And he's also agile as hell, so I don't see Wolverine getting up there.

I stand corrected.
Thank you Eminence.

Gonna have to rewatch it, purely for the sake of these debates. My mind is starting to block out much of the horror and has started to interfere with mass debating. 😛

Never read a Transformers comic, was Prime even more bad-ass than in the G1 cartoon?

G1 comic book Prime was easily the most badass version. Mother trucker beat GALVATRON, who at the time was the most powerful and dangerous Transformer alive.

...Ok, Prime wins this.

100 percent correctamundo.

That forest fight was the highlight of the film and Prime did kick-ass, forgotten most of the details on it.

Yeah.... A lot went on.
It compared to the first movie, seems to be rapid fire but with a smaller bolt.

Just to clarirify which point I agreed with so enthusiastically.

For me it's either that or the Shanghai scene. Movie could've been alot better if they cut the runtime down. Lots of uneeded scenes. If it hadn't been for me seeing with a huge crowd of fun people it would have been a drag. For suppossedly the big summer blockbuster of the year, it failed to meet my expectations.

No worries. I'd actually forgotten about that bit until I went back and rewatched it. 😛

Drop the sentinel feat already, RJ, it's got no backing.
It's just a general question. Someone stated that Wolverine's claws are not long enough to decap Prime, so I was just wondering how thick Prime's neck is compared to a sentinels.

Then my bad. As for the question, I have no idea an answer. Sorry again.

I was just thinking that unless Prime has some type of uber metal, why would it be that hard for Wolvie to decap him, especially if Prime's neck is around the same size as a sentinels?

How long did it take Logan to decap the "Sentinel"?

Few seconds?

Definitely, I would say.
About the only thing to destroy even bits of him, was Megatron's Fusion cannon taking out an arm once, and when he was detonated in one lame assed storyline (so he could be bought back as powermaster Prime bunch of issues after.)

Aside from that his feats and effectiveness against the deceps were numerous and impressive.

The humans were unable to mess with transformers also, in the comic. (Circuit breaker was almost the only human who did.)

Prime once took out Soundwave, Rumble, Laserbeak, Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker in one effort to rescue a captured and barbarically tortured Bumblebee.
Most of those were with his bare hands after Starscream and the other jets ambushed Prime in the desert.
(If memory serves, he did it one handedly, as his shoulder was damaged by one of the jets letting rip with at close range.)
That story was "Crisis of Command".

If McClane and John Wayne had an Autobot lovechild, It'd have been G1 comic Prime.

F*ck yeah

While the sentinel feat is viable it's not the same here. The sentinel seen was alot slower and less agile than Prime. Factor in Prime's experience and tactics.

Not to mention it wasn't real...holodeck doesn't make for good feat reference. 🙂
