Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Hasta la Vista, Kid"

I'm assuming you're using the Movie 1 terminator, since he doesn't have his hydrogen fuel cell detonation. Also surprised you didn't give the Terminator a plasma gun from the future, considering Athena uses an entire arsenal of future weapons.

Weapons

Short Range - Athena

Easy edge for the little girl cyborg. While her weapon is far less reliable and has a longer 'charge-up' time than a conventional pistol (it doesn't have rapid fire, also), I don't see normal bullets doing much damage to her, whereas her weapon with its tech advantage will most definitely damage the Terminator. He's one tough mo-fo, but that won't help him when weaponized energy is being slinged into his face.

Mid Range - The Terminator

I'd handily give this to Athena of her time grenade was more abusable. A quick look at the fight she uses it in here makes it clear that the time grenade makes it impossible for things to leave or enter the stopped time. While this can provide Athena a quick escape route, or let her set up a surprise attack, the nature of it makes it harder to abuse. On the other hand, a Winchester to the face might be enough to hurt Athena (albeit not immediately lethal), but it is more versatile than a 1-time get out of jail free card.

Long Range - Athena?

I'm genuinely confused as to why a grenade is considered long-range, but I digress. Athena's weapon will one-shot the terminator at 1 kiloton. A kiloton is enough to completely destroy large buildings and harm people in an entire city block, and the Terminator wasn't able to survive compression from an industrial hydraulic press. While the Minigun is certainly a threat to Athena, she should be able to survive fire from it for a limited amount of time, but if Athena plays her cards right her bomb will end up being the superior weapon.

Special - Terminator

I think it's fair to say that a self-destruct weapon wouldn't win Athena the fight under any condition, even though it would one-shot a T-1000. The grenade launcher should do significant harm to Athena (unlike a lot of the Terminator's arsenal), and is much more versatile as a weapon.

Powers - Athena

Athena's martial arts mastery should make her formidable at close range (she could tear off the heads of other androids casually), and her X-Ray vision makes any stealth tactics from the Terminator moot. Unless the battle takes place at night, Athena completely dominates in utility abilities, and even if it does she still steals this edge.

X- Factors

Athena is by far a more competent warrior than the T-1000, and will 9/10 employ superior tactics and planning when facing her foe. Her inhuman agility will make her remarkably hard to pin down for the clunky and slow Terminator,  and when combined with speed and a tech advantage makes her a superior cyborg inside and out.

Overall, I feel like Athena easily takes the cake here. I can see her using her time-stop bomb, placing her kiloton bomb next to the immobile Terminator outside of the bubble, and escaping in the entire minute she has to move before the Terminator explodes. While this isn't a curbstomp win here, I feel as if the T-3000 or T-X would have been better opponents than the OG Terminator, especially with her superior tec and arsenal.
