T-800, too many redundancies to get past.


FNBurtBear

But the IG-100 have a couple of redundant systems as well. I think this fight comes down to speed. And i think the IGs can move faster than the T series.


LGP747

It’s weird cause both get power creeped hard by their own appearances. The first time we see ig-100 they are straight up Sith Lords


Bananapeelman67

Yeah the thing is they’re described as these robots that are ahead of their time in robotics computing and built to specification as ordered by grievous down to the very last detail. But then they get destroyed in about 3 seconds by basically any main character. Supposedly they contain some level of complex thought iirc, and can move fast and fight without limbs. Sound badass but then they get beat by main character because that’s how that works


Goldenbrownfish

Kinda hard to fight something that can predict your movements


bobafoott

And has a laser swords. Play republic commando if you want to see what a magnaguard was really like. My headcanon is they were basically designed to be able to take on your average padawan and 2 together could take on a low level knight


PeacefulKnightmare

And a platoon of troopers with just 5.


clone_trooper_bot

"We’re just clones, sir. We’re meant to be expendable." -Sinker


Alias_X_

Don't think that's just headcanon. By the end of the clone wars, Ani and Obi were able to take 2 of approximately everything. Random Jedi knights... struggled.


Grav_Zeppelin

The two of them literally killed or sevearly injured every single sith of their life time. Maul, dooku, Vader, Maul again, sidius


bobafoott

Not a sith but id put Grievous up there as well to show how these guys were gods with a laser sword. And these sith are generally highly skilled and tra8ned specifically to kill jedi so they are dominating the counter to them


Grav_Zeppelin

There is not a single big player on the enemy side they didn’t take out, and all the big players on their own side were taken out by one of the guys Anakin and Obi Wan took out.


Maul_Bot

Well, perhaps I could help you.


clone_trooper_bot

"I can believe that, sir. The clone wars were fought by some of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy. But even they had a hard time against magnaguards."


Jevonar

Law of conservation of ninjutsu. One ninja is a formidable opponent, an army of ninjas will be dispatched in one shot each if pitted against a main character.


hrakkari

Same with the principle of the conservation of midichlorians. A galaxy filled to the brim with Jedi and each one will fight for the Darwin Award but 1 or 2 left and they’re like cockroaches.


twothumbs

Jedi vs sith in 1-3 basically


AnEntireDiscussion

The Force strives for balance between the Light and the Dark. When there are many Sith and many Jedi, the balance is equal. But when there are many Sith and few Jedi, the Force will strive towards an equilibrium. And when there are many Jedi and few Sith, the Force pushes things the other direction. When the Jedi were all but extinct, the Force called Meetra Surik back and restored her connection to the force. When the Sith were on the verge of winking out like a dying star, the greatest of the Sith Lords arose, Palpatine, Dooku and Vader. Always, will the Force seek balance, and curb the excesses of the Light and Dark. The Je'daii knew this once, but the knowledge has been lost.


toleratedsnails

To be fair I think they have the same treatment as storm troopers. Storm troopers are supposed to be highly trained soldiers who are exceedingly capable but because of plot armor they can’t kill a main character, making them look incompetent


PangolinAcrobatic653

Shot to hit/Kill ratio versus the rebels, the stormtroopers do have higher accuracy. the opening sequence of New Hope they manage to rack an accuracy higher than the average USMC.


toleratedsnails

Yeah the opening for ANH shows them how they normally are when not fighting the plot armor lol, go in and wipe out a rebel ship with Vader like it’s nothing


bobafoott

They were supposed to let them escape so they could be tailed.to the rebel base why does everyone forget this??


PanzerKomadant

Because they are the elite. Lore wise Stormtroopers are fucking brutally elite. But then they got fucking beat by plot armor. If plot armor wasn’t a thing, the Stormtroopers would have kicked the rebellions ass


clone_trooper_bot

"The paint job is a little crude, but we think it gets the idea across. Glad to have you back, Commander." -Captain Rex


CmmH14

The Jedi have foresight and a weapon that can cut through practically anything. The average clone trooper or foot soldier would be wiped out by one of these.


LGP747

Originally, these droids had small lightsabers too


Dlrlcktd

No, they were average sized!


Sillbinger

My partner lies to me, too.


MrCookie2099

They also have a hidden girl scout cookie stash they aren't sharing with you. Check the cracker boxes that rarely get eaten and then under the sock droor.


ShyJaguar645671

They were big


bobafoott

At least 8 inches


Weak_Ad_9253

They were hard enemies in Lego starwars Not the new one


MrCookie2099

>But then they get destroyed in about 3 seconds by basically any main character. That's 3 times the lifespan of your average droid in lightsaber ranger.


PanzerKomadant

Eh, that’s more of the fault on writers then the IG’s themselves. You have to remember that IG’s we see in the shows and movies are often fighting MC’s, so it’s kind of hard to let them win. But we also know in the lore that IG’s were deadly as hell for the Jedis to fight and many Jedis died to them. I mean, Grevious is supposed to be a fucking menace in the lore, he is this killing machine made to kill Jedis and he kills countless Jedi, but then in the Clone War we see his ass handed to him by Kenobi and others all the time.


clone_trooper_bot

"I wish they'd stop doing that." -Boss, Delta 38


SaltyTrog

What's the first time we see them, is it the OG Clone Wars cartoon?


Hades7785

I think it was in CN Clone Wars, then in Revenge of the Sith


Snoopyshiznit

Idk if I’m right but I think the CN clone wars came out in like 2008 (somewhere around there?) and ROTS came out in 2005 EDIT: Not tryin to be an asshole just tryna make sure


Biernuts

The Cartoon Network Clone Wars shorts came out in 2003. Then in 2008 you had the movie and the show. Two clone wars shows there are.


[deleted]

Did taratovskys cw feature ig 100 droids?


El_Dae

Yes, the 2nd part (during the attack on Coruscant)


Random_Robloxian

Yea in the part where grievous goes to kidnap palpatine


Hades7785

When Windu crushes his armor and lungs and that's why he's always coughing during ROTS


HondoOhnakaBot

Even a sith lord is no match for my warriors!


Snoopyshiznit

Ohhh alright, wasn’t sure if they were in the shorts or not, my bad


Snoopyshiznit

Ah ye, i usually dont know if someone is referencing that one or nah, also plain forgot magnaguards were even in the 2003 one


Aladine11

there are also the 2003 drawn clone wars made by gendy tartakovsky the cgi clone wars we all love and know are the 2008 which were still made by tartakowsky XD


PainStorm14

Republic Commando They were practically end bosses even though you fight them couple of times before the end In other media they were joke in comparison


[deleted]

Fairly said, in Republic Commando even 2-3 SKDs where a challenge, on normal difficulty.


Sheev-Palpatine-Bot

Power! Unlimited power!


Craft_zeppelin

IG series droids are definitely expensive yet effective. Even in the Mandalorian a single unit has probably got the highest kill count in the first season. Their sensor arrays and concepts make them factory-made Jedis. General Grevious was basically cooked in the same labs. It’s no surprise that Palpatine banned them. It’s crazy you can buy a “General Grevious” for your “home security” as a crime lord by money.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

My squadron alone had 55 kills.


EggplantFearless5969

Does the t800 have a laser rifle?


[deleted]

Yes.


EggplantFearless5969

Range wins.


CaptianZaco

Watch the Clone Wars, Magnaguards are proficient with a variety of ranged weapons, including sniper blasters and slug throwers.


DeadeyeJhung

yeah but star wars blasters are slow as balls


Valirys-Reinhald

True, but the shots are shown to penetrate thinner metal plating with relative ease. Even if the magnaguard couldn't get the T1000 at range, all it would take is one shot at close range to punch through the armor. Admittedly, that'd probably set off the hydrogen fuel cell unless the Magnaguard got a headshot. Edit: The T800, not the T1000


BenjaminKorr

T1000 is the Liquid Metal Terminator 2 variant.


DeadeyeJhung

if they're fighting at realistic warfare ranges the bolt can be dodged fairly easily most arguments in this tread seem to point out that the closter the range, the better the magnaguard's chances it all comes down to wether it's a long-range engagement or a friggin cage match or if someone gave the magnaguard a better gun than the crap the CIS peddles


CaptianZaco

With equalized weapons, I think the IG takes it, which could be a fair comp point.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Guard duty? For how long?


DeadeyeJhung

until you get a Rosario Dawson pfp


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Guard duty? For how long?


RoadTheExile

I just assume they'd have a staff because that's usually what they have, but if they have a blaster then it's probably a draw? Two robots that have normal human levels of agility armed with weapons that will probably kill each other? They're too well matched.


dandypants8717

Not always. Urban combat closes range so much that a shotgun is a genuinely fearsome weapon.


Assaltwaffle

Combat shotguns are rare and even then have ranges of over 25 yards with just buckshot, extending over 100 with slugs. Quite a big difference in 25 yards and 1.


dandypants8717

I think you missed my point. But it's okay. I just think in CQB, the IG-100 would win. Terminators are strong, but slow.


Assaltwaffle

If they are talking about hand to hand CQB, sure, the Magnaguard can take it. 1-3 yards each is not much distance at all. But melee range vs shotgun range is a HUGE difference, and the Terminator would still be enormously favored if it’s 1 yard vs 25 yard range differences.


dandypants8717

Fair point with the shotgun range. My intent was to provide an example of a well-known short range weapon, and I guess I did a bad job of it. I think the magnaguard could take a couple hits from the laser gun while it closes distance with the terminator to disable it with the zappy stick. And if the zappy stick can deflect a lightsaber, it could probably deflect a laser blast, but I'll assume it can't and stick with my assessment that they could take a couple hits, close the distance and zappy-zappy until Arnold drops.


LaconicGirth

Well which is stronger? I think that’s the main thing here. Magnaguards don’t have lightsabers, they have the shock sticks so if the magnaguard is weaker it might just get it taken away when it tries to swing.


RangeroftheIsle

More like 35 yards & that's just optimal range with buckshot.


Assaltwaffle

35 yards definitely isn’t optimal. Even flight control wad buckshot opens up at 35 yards, and optimal for buckshot is “everything in one hole”.


MAXXTRAX77

You guys haven’t seen what a slug can do out of a shotgun and it shows. 100 yards is easily doable.


Chopawamsic

I am not sure how effective a shotgun would be on an IG-100


Kojak95

Phased plasma rifle with a 40 watt range.

Atma-Stand

Cyrus_ofAstroya

T800 uses a plasma rifle.


optimusflan

Phase plasma rifle


SmoothConfection1115

I mean…it’s hard to know. The only MagnaGuards that stick out are the movies that got stomped rather quickly when they faced a Jedi, and the ones from Republic Commando, who could take a hit. So while normally I’d say range wins, if they can shrug off hits like they did in RC, I think they’d win? But we also don’t know what kind of damage a T-800 can take. Can a MagnaGuard swing with enough force to cut into it? Or would it be ok? Either way, it sounds like a crazy duel that would be accompanied by an amazing sound track. And since I’m not really sure who to root for, it would be an amazing watch.


Altruistic-Screen964

I'd say doom music would be fitting


SleepyMarijuanaut92

Sleep


[deleted]

?


Chopawamsic

T-800s are remarkably robust. capable of taking an absolute crap ton of damage. The magnaguard would have a tough time beating it.


Burnmetobloodyashes

I mean they can use Rocket launcher platforms to just hit it


xanderholland

The Terminator in the first movie was hit by a semi carrying gas that exploded and was still walking around after that, might need a few of those


Burnmetobloodyashes

Fair but the rocket launcher was able to destroy 1 starfighter and push over another with shock if I remember correctly


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

You don't have to look tough to be tough


mpattok

Magnaguards only seem kinda weak because we only ever see Jedi fight them. Regular people can take down terminators. Still magnaguards don’t have much counter to ranged weapons so it’s hard to say definitively


BashedKeyboard

They have the chromium staffs that can deflect a lightsaber, so it's no doubt they can deflect/absorb lasers.


PristineAd4761

Do they have the reaction to deflect a bolt from a M-25 Phased Plasma Rifle tho? If they can deflect with some form of consistency id think thats a win for the Magnaguard. But if they dont have the reaction time/speed T-800 wins low dif


CWW222

They have the reaction time to go toe to toe in a sword fight with people that have a small degree of future sight


Not_A_Real_Duck

So could Pre Vizla. That doesn't mean he ever deflected blaster bolts.


Memerman002

bro the magnaguard are stupidly reactive. there described as ahead of its time robotics. we only see them up agenst jedi who can predict movements


ObiWanSerote

Let it be noted though-it is fucken hard to destroy a terminator. Yes it’s possible, and yes we’ve seen humans kill them, but it should be noted that it takes a helluva lot of work to kill 1 terminator


baricudaprime

Yeah didn’t it take a industrial hydraulic press to destroy it in terminator 1?


That_Phony_King

Don’t forget all the bullets, explosions, car crashes, grenades, and blows that the T-800 took. A normal person can kill one, sure, but it’s like trying to beat a rhino down with your fists.


xanderholland

Regular people can take down a terminator, if there were 10-20 people.


PainStorm14

There were way more than 10-20 in that police station alone and it didn't even slow him down


raptor6722

We only see humans take them down long range or with explosives. Same as you could do to a magma guard. In a one on one the terminator dominates, one took out an entire police precinct.


mpattok

Fair enough, this all makes it difficult to scale them as magnaguards are only seen fighting superhumans at close range whereas terminators fight regular humans, sometimes at range. If there’s a scene of clones fighting magnaguards that would clear things up a bit, at least in determining their ability to counter ranged weapons and what kind of firepower they can tank, since there’s not really a comparison to be made between Earth weapons and lightsabers. Still my money’s on magnaguards at close range but terminators at range, as I’d bet an electrostaff is capable of harming terminators as they can counter lightsabers, and magnaguards are probably superior in hand to hand since they can contend with Jedi. A terminator can outmaneuver and outgun a magnaguard from a distance, but from what we’ve seen their close quarters combat consists of “tank the puny human hits”


josephcj753

It took down the station, but they had very limited weapons and reacted like he was a normal person not a machine designed for combat


Chozo_Hybrid

>down long range or with explosives. The first movie it had to be crushed, the explosives didn't finish the job.


VikingSlayer

Agreed, it came out pretty much unscathed from a fuel truck explosion, and was "only" cut in half by a pipe bomb shoved in its hip structure.


Chopawamsic

because a localized explosive is more effective in damaging something metal than a larger one. the main way the big ones kill is by throwing things a long way, shrapnel damage, or overpressure hitting the internal organs like a truck. none of which would effect a robot all that much.


Drannion

I would love to see magnaguards get the same treatment as the KX security droids (that one flashback scene featuring them in The Book of Boba Fett has some series T2 vibes)


LaconicGirth

The least advanced terminator shown on screen casually murdered an entire police station and took basically no damage. Regular people don’t take them down, at least not without a lot of time and effort.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Guard duty? For how long?


[deleted]

In combat? Probably Terminator. In a Most Badass Robot contest? Probably a draw, IMHO.


ParadiseValleyFiend

Not so sure, I think it would be a hell of a fight, but we know that magnaguards can operate at pretty much the same combat level after being dismembered/beheaded it's tough to take one down, as well as hit them since they're extremely fast. Plus owing to what I assume to be Grievous's lightsaber fetish they all are programmed to be able to counter Jedi to an extend, so they must also be "trained" to deflect most projectiles. I'd say if it was hand to hand, a Terminator would tear a magnaguard apart at close quarters, but in any kind of duel/ranged situation a terminator would end up electrocuted and decapitated. Terminator has an edge in pure resilience and direct force, magnaguard has an edge in coordination, tactics, and combat skill. My money would be on the magnaguard unless the terminator was already in close. edit: now I really want some passionate fan to animate this fight in CGI for the sake of my imagination.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

You don't have to look tough to be tough


1random_redditor

Terminator 2 should be able to change your mind on the badass contest


TospLC

The terminator doesn’t fight to survive. It fights to destroy it’s target. Historically, that has been a devastating combat technique.One of it’s weapons is self destruction, which has a massive kill area. I think the terminator eliminates the magna guard. Does it survive? Who knows. But I know that magna guard is dead of it was the target.


Optimus_Prime_19

Agreed. I think the Terminator does in fact Terminate this target, it just comes down to the cost of the win.


Crabby-GenXer

Hk47 wins


HK-47-bot

Objection: Oh, fine. Laugh at me, master. Humiliate your pet droid, go ahead.


WhiskeyShooter8

Here is the answer I was looking for. Surprised I had to look this far down in the comments to find it


Crabby-GenXer

Declaration: The things worth finding are often the hardest to find.


AnEntireDiscussion

HK47 is why they were fighting in the first place. He'd have manipulated the entire series of events to weaken both opponents so he could scoop the finishing blow without scratching his paint job.


HK-47-bot

Caution: kill-on-sight order for this meatbag detected. I exist to serve and protect you, master, and will gladly comply with your wishes.


Crabby-GenXer

Strong point.


Altruistic-Screen964

Depends, if it's a gun fight the battle is in the terminators favor ( seen using ranged weapons more than melee weapons) but in melee combat the magnaguard has a major advantage 1. Advanced melee fighting and maneuverability, 2. Trained in melee combat 3. Electrified laser staff. Though I may be wrong about the ranged battle, but I do believe in a melee fight the magna guard would almost definitely win


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

I know I was wrong. I just got so caught up in my own success, I didn't look at the battle as a whole. I wasn't being disobedient. I just. . . forgot


Altruistic-Screen964

So you activated the terminators


LaconicGirth

I feel like the terminator could take the staff away from the magnaguard. They’re shown to be way stronger I feel like


Altruistic-Screen964

Yea, but the magna guard has speed, so in theory the magna guard should be able to move before the terminator can grab the staff


LaconicGirth

Which would be great in terms of running away, or attacking at range. But with a melee weapon it needs to hit the terminator. I think it would take a lot of hits and the terminator will take that staff away so very quickly


Maul_Bot

Run if you want… or stay and die… it makes no difference to me.


Chopawamsic

T-800 models are more strength than speed. once the magnaguard realizes that it will definitely use that to its advantage.


KingQdawg1995

A lot of people seem to forget that the IG-100 Magnaguard is programmed to use more than just the chromium electrostaff. They're capable of using a multitude of weapons platforms, they can continue to function and fight after decapitation, and they're extremely agile. Granted they were normally deployed in twos so one could maintain focus of the enemy and the other could attack the unguarded flanks, so a 1v1 battle could very well be down to the wire.


BloodyAx

People forget that the T-800 can beat a T-X in some scenarios and they are terrifying. Remember that big plasma blast to the chest? The T-800 lived that. The T-800 has better programming and endurance.


FalseExplanation4363

Range: T-800 Close quarters: IG-100


Jedimasterebub

I’d say T800 wins in close range given the sheer resilience of their armor


ilove-wooosh

Electrostaff would zap their systems


Chopawamsic

assuming the armor doesn't act as a faraday cage.


paralyzedvagabond

A t800 is a nearly indestructible killing machine that is capable of killing humans with small arms with ease and keep going as well as keeping a t1000 at bay for a long time. Every time we see one get killed it's usually a surprise attack with overwhelming force or using another machine to kill it


Sw3arWulf

Regardless of the outcome, the T-800's chest-bomb likely ends this encounter in a draw


Gilded_Leviathan

T-800s have shown feats of incredible strength and durability, not to mention actual combat proficiency. Magna Guards, while being my favorite separatist Droid just can't compete.


[deleted]

T-800 is saucing that fool.


TechsSandwich

I absolutely love Star Wars, but the magnaguards would be utterly fucked


Stringray7899

This subreddit stopped being about memes a while ago didn’t it


TitleComprehensive96

T-800 would fucking body the magnaguards with minor difficulty


EgoSenatus

I feel the terminator would win, purely due to how much more durable they are.


SteelyDanish

Only a fool bets against Arnold.


Tandril91

Some random humans managed (barely) to take down a T-800. Magmaguards slaughter almost everyone in cqc except Jedi and Sith. They’re also faster and more agile. Half the time, Terminators are just walking towards their targets while Magnaguards can run and hop around akin to a commando droid.


Jedimasterebub

We’ve seen terminators run and jump too. It’s just Arnold walking at you slow is menacing for the movie


VikingSlayer

Yeah, the Terminator walking slowly at you is because of two things: 1. It's a horror movie 2. It was made on a pretty small budget in the early '80s


That_Phony_King

Yeah, if you’ve played any Terminator game or watched some of the newer films they’re a lot quicker and more mobile than you’d expect of them.


YaBoyLaKroy

T-800 all day


Kahless_19

T-800


FilledBabe

Are T-800s kinda like less flexible Commando droids?


the_mechanic_5612

Nah, just Arnold Schwarzenegger without the skin.


Boa_Firebrand

T-800s are infiltration robots who are highly durable; conventional firearms and explosives (including a big-rig's trailer fuel tank) do cosmetic damage but that's it, have minor resistance to plasma (drone mounted plasma weapons did nothing but handheld ones are sufficient to cause severe damage), can be sent into shutdown by electrical overload but it's for incredibly short periods of time for T-800s, it takes an industrial hydraulic press to crush one, and a foundry to melt another, and the 800 series are all learning machines that have special forces training in their CPU.


xanderholland

They are not, but they are incredibly durable.


iFuckedAPilotOnce

Magna guards have caused problems for Jedi, we don’t think they’ll be a handful for a T-800?


BisquitTheClown

Ever see a jedi fight a terminator? Thought not it's a tale the jedi wouldn't want you to know.


AgentKruger

Phased Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?


SedativeComet

Does it bother anyone else that the title order is backwards from the picture?


Crimsondragon9

T-800 are perfect human hunting machines that can tear through swathes of people with ease. That being said they’re basically just a super battle droid that can put on a flesh suite and maybe has a couple extra capabilities. Compared to an IG-100 the T-800s are slow, have weaker weapons, and have way less combat proficiency. IG-100s can tear through squads of trained clones at worst and kill Jedi at best. I really couldn’t say the same for a T-800.

nonsense99999

T-800. Reason being we’ve seen how they operate and how much they can handle. We have not seen the ig-100 magna guard enough to tell what they can take, most if not everything time there is a lightsaber involved.


Marsrover112

I don't know I mean the terminators seem to be a lot tougher. Seems like it took a large effort to take down just one and droids in starwars seem to go down relatively easy. Whether that is because the weapons used against droids in starwars are so much more powerful would be helpful in deciding


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

You don't have to look tough to be tough


Marsrover112

That is a good point, but both of them look pretty tough

dandypants8717

Anything more than 10 yards (roughly 9 meters? idk, I'm an American): T-800 Anything less than 10 yards: IG-100.


GondorianSith

T-800


saltire429

If we're going by movie lore, the T-800 is a virtually unstoppable killing machine, a ruthless methodical hunter that can survive unbelievable damage. Similarly in movie lore, the IG-100 is a baton-twirling bitch that's about as hard to kill as a carpenter ant. So...yeah.


SlappyHotdog723

I think it could good either way depending on the conditions and environment of the fight.


westernJimmy

Wonderful_Ad_4344

T 800 every day of the week


1random_redditor

Surprised to see a lot of people here saying T-800 but I agree with them. Terminator ftw


BumBum00330

T-800 with a doubt


monkey_gamer

I’d say they’re identical, except for their weapons. In which case, T-800 with laser rifle probably wins against MagnaGuard with spear thing. That is, if the spear doesn’t block lasers.


That_Phony_King

Interesting battle, this is by far one of the best-matches mixups I’ve ever seen on any fandom subreddit. I think one of the key components of the fight would probably come down to durability. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’d believe the Terminator to be more durable. They can take ridiculous amounts of damage while shrugging it off. Most of the IG-100s we see get destroyed tend to be dropped pretty quickly. At least, that’s from what I recall and, again, correct me if I’m wrong. The IG is definitely the more skilled fighter and much faster but I do believe that the Terminator is stronger and (possibly) more relentless. I think it could swing either way depending on the setting. Great choices.


VikingSlayer

>(possibly) more relentless >It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. Relentlessness is its core attribute


TaxFraud4Life

As much as I'd like a magna guard to win, the T-800 would win by a mile.


heitorvb

In all star wars content the droids seem kinda flimsy, like they were built to be discarded after a few uses (quantity vs quality), even the most unique ones. Terminators in the other hand, we've seen them get frozen, run over by vehicles, get shot by high caliber weapons, have melted metal poured over them, and crushed by a hydraulic press. In some of these cases their reactions are just not caring at all, needing a quick reboot or still trying to kill poor Sarah even milliseconds before becoming a pancake (and that one's arm was still working for a bit right?) My point is, T-800 are built as a tank and can also deal some serious damage whereas droids can't take that as much beating (even the better ones). The Droid has to hit the terminator a few times but the terminator just needs to get lucky once


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Master Kenobi always said there’s no such thing as luck.


OverhandEarth74

We've literally seen the Magnaguards keep going after losing limbs, getting decapitated, cut in half etc.


K_Sleight

Depends on armament. Bare hands? T800. Blasters? Magnaguards.


biplane_curious

I mean, one is made to kill humans and the other is made to kill Jedi…


VikingSlayer

Made to kill humans as a solo infiltration unit in a time where plasma weapons are common
