I think you're missing the point, Red. I understand that you want this to be just a physical weapons an hand-to-hand combat battle, but you'd have to misrepresent Teridax in order to make that so. So you said you were sorry for misrepresenting Teridax, but you're still doing it. That doesn't really count as an apology to me. You're still breaking the rules by choosing what powers Teridax should and shouldn't have. Natural ablities like the ones Teridax has are static, unlike swords and guns that vary from loadout to laodout. And we already confirmed that it's against the rules to misrepresent him like this. The point of this wiki is to evaluate who would win in a fight, not who would win in a fight if you stripped one warrior of most of his powers. I don't really blame you for announcing this blog post in the first place, seeing as how you were unaware of his godly powers at the time. But if this were my plog post, I would have cancelled the battle very quickly upon discovering his godly powers, since it is an unfair fight. I suggest you find a different matchup instead of trying to justify the fact that you're breaking the rule about limiting one's natural powers. I understand that you want this to be a battle between the two robots just duking it out, but you'd have to break the rules in order to do that. Just because that would be cool doesn't mak it okay to reduce one's powers.

Leo: Is this, "Mata Nui robot," an altogether different warrior from Teridax? If so, then Red could just change Optimus' opponent to that. If not, then that would probably be the most thorough form of breaking the natural ability rule.
