User blog:Drayco90/Movieverse Optimus Prime vs. G1 Optimus Prime

There have been many warriors with the same name in existance throughout the Multiverse, but this is the first time they have clashed for all to see. It's a battle of old vs. new. Nostalgia vs. hype. On side we have Optimus Prime, the original leader of the Autobots from the Generation 1 universe. He became an icon to millions as he protected Earth from the Deception threat from 1984 to 2005. On the otherside, we have Optimus Prime, the scientist turned warrior from the movie universe. He fought to keep his existance a secret, and protected Earth in disguise throughout the 2000s and 2010s. Two Autobot Commanders enter, but only can be the...DEADLIEST WARRIOR

Weapons
Optimus Prime (G1)

Optimus Prime (Movieverse)

Close Range
The Energon Axe is fast deadly, and has disarming abilities, but the Dual Energon Blades are faster, can't be disarmed through conventional methods and when combined with Movieverse Optimus Prime's enhanced mobility, makes them one of the most deadly weapons in the entire roster. EDGE- Movieverse

Mid Range
The Ion Blaster is very accurate, has a lot of ammo, and twice the firing speed of convential Cybertronian machine guns. The chaingun, being one of those aforementioned machine guns, is simply outclassed here. EDGE- G1

Long Range
The Photon Burst Rifle can zoom across the battlefield firing bursts of heated energy that is devestating when used acccuratly. The Barrage Cannon, however, may not have the same range but packs much, much more firepower. The weapon can also be dual wielded and have more ammo in addition to doing more damage. EDGE- Movieverse

Explosive
The Thermo Rocket Launcher can home in on an enemy in vehicle mode, and will often destroy something if it can hit, but the weapon is very slow, packs little ammo and is not very accurate against an enemy in Robot mode. The Jet Engine Shoulders make for a devestating launching weapon or a great way to end a combo, but aren't very powerful. EDGE- Even

Special
The Smokestack Prime Gun is powerful but slow, and can plaster an enemy in close quarters, but the Twin Hooks kill quicker and can do insane amounts of damage in short time, and like the Dual Energon Swords, can be incredibly lethal when combined with Prime's agility. The hooks can deal more damage faster, so that's what I'm going with EDGE- Twin Energon Hooks
