Elgb's "Walking Chicken Legs" EDGES!!!

Primary: The Laser cannons easy. We still don't know how strong the Heat Ray really is in the Wellsverse. It was effective in incinerating people and a bunch of stuffs, but the laser cannon the Ats fire can destroy forts and armored vehicles. Also, the laser cannons seem to have the faster rate of fire than the heat rays which can only fire at intervals (based on my observatiosn off course). EDGE: ATs

Secondary: The repeating canons will win off course. The tentacles look creepy (non H-punintended), but the repeaters can fire farther and probably do more damage. The tentacles may trip and tip the ATs the same way Luke did with only a bunch of chords, but they still need to get close. EDGE: ATs

Defense: Technically the Tripods have two armors, its metallic skin and the force field. The metal skin can also survive a bit off misiles if the force field goes off. The ATs on the other hand only has one layer of armor. EDGE: Tripods

Deadliest Warrior?

In a military perspective, these vehicles would have been thrown out of the window in a snap. The ATs are so stupid that even a piece of chord can trip it. The Tripods don't fair that well better. In the words of Mr. Hyde from LXG himself, he said, "God created creatures off various limbs. Some have two. Some have four. Both there is no way he would have created a creature with only three legs. That would have been too cruel even for him." (he said before destroying one easily, and the quote was also paraphrased by me). Hell, our own 21st century generation created far more reliable walking robots than these pieces of crap.

Still, the ATs seem to have the better weaponry here. It faired better than the Tripod in "conquering" their enemies. And besides, the ATs seem to have the better weapons. It'll took some time to get pass the Tripod's force field, but with superior firepower and enough armor to survive themselves, the ATs may jsut pierce through and win.
