I will periodically list a Bionicle team/group and you have to decide which individual character would you want to take in a physical fight, and explain why.
You are allowed small basic melee weapons (sword, shield, etc) but no firearms or anything too large or OP.
You are fighting full six-feet tall versions of them, they are fully biomechanical, and their canonized powers/abilities apply.
First team to fight; The Skull Villains.
Consist of Slicer, Warrior, Basher, Scorpio, and Grinder
I would take on Scorpio. I might just be fast enough to avoid those tail strikes…
I think warrior is the most logical of the bunch to fight. Not only will he not maul you with massive axes and brute strength, grind you into bits, crush your head in with a massive pincer, or turn you into sushi, but he’s basically a weapon rack in waiting.
I’d take him on with my saber(the only logical weapon I’m trained with; I doubt nunchucks are going to do the trick against a biomechanical corpse) and aim to relieve him of his arms after sneaking up to him(avoiding having to deal with the bow thing). Then I’d use a jump and an over-the-shoulder whirl of my blade to take off his head. After that I’d loot his weapons and keep them for the next fight.
I’m not sure why everyone has this notion that Slicer would be easy. That’s four freakin’ arms, plus a Scorpion(MK) style chain. The dude would be all “get over here” then cut you up faster than you can even hope to block. Even if you managed to block 2/3 swords, there’s still that third arm that he can use to remove any limb of yours that he likes.
Question, if we’re not allowed firearms, does that mean Warrior can’t use his crossbow?
I would probably take on either Warrior or Basher. My main emphasis in combat would be on speed, and I presume Basher would be the worst in the speed aspect. Warrior might be a bit tougher, but hurts less and doesn’t have a good amount of range.
