User blog comment:BeastMan14/Iron Giant vs Devestator/@comment-4484220-20120921190440

For a robat titan, I always thought Devastator was a bit underwhelming. He moves rather sluggishly, and it's not really that hard to knock him apart into the five Constructicons he's composed of. After which, the Iron Giant would be able to pick them off rather easily. And of course the Irgon Giant is much more agile. The laser pistols the Autobots and Decepticons use in Transformers G1 don't really do a whole lot to other robots other than knock them back. The Iron Giant's laser eyes, on the other hand, have been known to desintegrate objects without a whole lot of effort. Now this won't instantly get rid of Devastator, because he is made of metal, and Cybertronian metal is harder than earthly metal if I recal correctly, but the point is that the Iron Giant has more lethal weapons by far. Let's not also forget that the Iron Giant can fly. I don't remember Devastator ever doing that. He'll be able to easily build up momentum flying, and slam into Devastator. If the Iron Giant was pretty much limited to what we see throughout most of the movie, I would say this might be a somewhat close battle. However, at a certain point, we are shown that the Iron Giant can exhibit a far more destructive mode when seeing a hostile target, causing him to bring out weapons of mass destruction. This in my opinion, makes it a rather easy win for the Iron Giant.
