really, i'm curious. a lot of people seem to think that an average sized Beast-era tf could beat an average sized G1'er. i though the whole purpose of the maximal/predacon upgraded was that they traded size and power for fuel efficiency. so while a beast era tf would be more fuel efficient, a G1'er would still be bigger and more powerful.

how about big convoy... im sure he's got enough firepower and decent melee weapons to spank some g1'ers.. (i wouldn't know who to pair up against big convoy against from g1...)

No Beast Wars era could.  Here is why I say.  If you look at the end of Beastwars 2nd seasno.  Agenda Part 3 I believe.  Beast Wars Megatron is floating over G1 Prime's body as it is still in stasis lock from the Ark's crash.  Megatron is the size of Optimus' head.  Therefore....tiny in comparison.  Give them all the fire power you want....they are still too small within the mythos.  Why so small?  I don't know.  It is just the way the mythos made them.

I beg to differ I'd put my money on Tigerhawk before a G1er

he may be small but damn lighting & Tornados??

Animal instinct vs. mechanical bots.

 

Hmmm. I could think of a few animals that could rip a vehicle to shreds.

 

Fuel efficiency AND animal ferocity, yeah....

 

NEXT!

Optimal Optimus was huge in comparison to the other BW guys, and would, at the very least, easily wipe the floor with Wheelie or Bumblebee.

No. A G1 TF could step on a BW guy and not even notice.

if you were to put the averige sized bots against each other then g1 all the way but if you were to put big convoy agaist any minibot or even regluar sized bot i think he could do it but only cuz hes freakin huge about the size of a g1 bot any way

Big Convoy, that's about it. Though the BW TF's have quite capable firepower, if you look at how easily that Megatron smashed Prime's head.

I'm going with the semi-organic Beast Wars tf's, for the same reason's already stated of "animal instincts" and plain out ferocity.

 

Add to that the fact the animals could hide easier for sneak attacks, were more nimble when it came to evading attacks and were consistently handing the Vehicons their collective rust covered butts a serious butt kicking... that's all I'm going to say for my statement. :D
