Holy SHIT.....

Fire Gift. Another power usually only developed by a Child of the Millennia. This gift is known to be possessed by Marius, Akasha, Eudoxia, Thorne, Khayman, Lestat, Mekare and Maharet, and later the vampires Merrick Mayfair and Quinn Blackwood. With the Fire Gift, a vampire can set alight an object or being of their choice, for example, in Blood and Gold, when Akasha destroyed Eudoxia's body by fire, or in the film when she set fire to the vampires in bar and at the concert. Use of the gift on humans was performed by Lestat in Blood Canticle, when he set aflame gunmen on the tropical island. The Fire Gift is specially fatal to vampires, as the "changed" blood found within their bodies ignites easily, thus rendering them extremely vulnerable to fire.
So that's TEN that can fry the twivamps with a thought. TEN. AKasha can fry at least twenty at a time, probably more if she so wishes.
Cloud Gift (flight). Depending on the novels or the cinematic depiction, not all vampires have this ability. According to the books, Lestat, though young by vampire standards, gains this ability after repeatedly drinking Akasha's blood. Quinn Blackwood was given the strength to use this gift by his maker, Petronia.
And THREE of them can fly.
And this:
Mind Gift (the combined abilities of telepathy and telekinesis). This is the ability to communicate and read thoughts, especially of humans, and to move objects with the mind. This gift is used largely to obtain blood - since via telepathy a criminal or amoral human can be sensed, and many of Rice's vampires refuse to feed on the innocent, this allows them to identify their prey. It is impossible for a maker or fledgling to contact each other directly, although in some cases it is possible for a vampire to seek out their master/fledgling by looking through the eyes of those near their fledgling, or by hearing the thoughts of their master/fledgling through others in a relay effect. A vampire of sufficient power or age may also unwillingly 'hear' the thoughts of all the humans within range of this power, leading to an old vampire saying: "If you do not learn to silence the voices, they will drive you mad." Khayman of the First Brood possessed this level of telepathic power, but had trained himself to hear the multitude of thoughts as "one annoying noise." Older vampires may also possess the ability to move objects with the mind, as witnessed through Akasha's destruction of the Elder, or [b]Akasha's habit of opening the doors to the tabernacle, and Marius' opening and unlocking the doors to Akasha's shrine in Blood and Gold.[/b]
Hmm....So the elders can perform what is basically a Jedi force push. If a Twivamp gets too close to them, force push them away and burn them.
Aaaaaaaaaand this:
Rapid Healing. Vampires are immune to most attacks other than their known weakness and even then are apparently able to heal quickly, especially if they feed or are covered in vampire blood. All vampires can potentially heal from any non-fatal wound, including decapitation, as proved by Mael in Blood and Gold, but time and blood are needed. A bullet wound, for instance, would heal within seconds, but serious burns from a fire would require decades, if not centuries, to heal. However, the greater the damage done to them, the stronger they will be when they are fully healed.
So, where does this leave us?
The Vampire Chronicles Vampires are waaaaaaaaaaay faster than the Twivamps.
The Vampire Chronicles Vampires showed MAD speed in COMBAT. The Twivamps showed speed only when running around, or between fighting. When they were actually fighting, they weren't all that fast. H2H, The Vampire Chronicles Vampires pwn the Twivamps.
The Vampire Chronicles Vampires are at least as strong as the Twivamps.
There are TEN Vampire Chronicles Vampires who can do the TK fire attack like Akasha did in QOTD, THREE of them being able to fly.
The Vampire Chronicles Vampires heal just as fast as the Twivamps.
Not to mention Telekinesis. (Jedi force push.)
I surely left some things out, but you guys get the idea. The Vampire Chronicles Vampires win this with pathetic ease.
Just saying.
