Deathblade's "The Empire's invasion of Mars" edges

Okay,

Primary: Tripod. While the T&B MS-1 Heavy Laser Cannon has twice the firepower, they're bloody inaccurate, not to mention slow to reload. That said, the Heat Rays while not as powerful can deliver a massive amount of energy into the target, enough to disintegrate a human, as well as melt steel. I personally think a key part of this comparison is the fact the Tripods' heat rays can operate together or act independently.

Secondary: TBA
