I think it’s a no-brainer that he’s, physically, more than capable of harming or killing any of the characters we know.
That being said, unlike the Terminator, I don’t think Marendar would kill everything in his path. His objective is only to eliminate Toa. As such, I don’t think it’s possible to reason with him, but I also don’t think “hiding” behind a wall of Agori would do it either.
I find it likely that Marendar is not above fighting other MU inhabitants that try and protect the Toa, and if Agori or Glatorian got in his way I don’t think he’d use lethal force.
Let’s be honest, Marendar could probably just walk through a bunch of Agori with ease anyways.
Something important to note is that we’ve already seen something like this. The Bohrok, also mechanical beings with a sole function, completely ignored everything unless something got in their way. I imagine Marendar would be quite similar.
@Jathru_Cranli did say he would sound like 80s Scwarzenegger.

It might be the 10+ years of hype and imagination. But I too wished he could become an character cabable of challenging Matoran universes strongest and win.

As pointed before, unlike the Bohrok and Baterra, Marendar is biomechanical and sapient. I too imagine he is very obsessed in his work though. A shattering could be hapening again and he still would search Toa through the chaos.
It was a hypothetical situation to show Marendar’s dedication. Kind of like when people say “the world could be ending, and he would still be doing his job”.
I imagine Marendar feeling compelled to hunt down Toa, just as Toa feel compelled to follow the Toa-code, and just as Toa can ignore the Toa-code with sufficient force of will I think Marendar could resist it’s programming.
I don’t think Marendar would needlessly harm non-Toa, but Marendar is a sapient biomechanical being, a “living weapon” therefore I think it would have an instinct of survival, so if a non-Toa being, such as a Glatorian, Baterra, Vortixx, or Makuta were to attack Marendar I think it would defend itself with lethal force if necessary, possibly even judging the attacking being to be a sufficient threat and pursuing them to the death as it would a Toa.
