    dracula. he cant be killed, not by a robot anyway :pac:

    It's gonna get realy tough from here on in.

    My heart says Darcula but my head says T800. Can't see Darcula hurting T800 in any way, the whole " I ain't got running blood or a heart" card that T800 has is very strong plus the fact that he is non living biologically (mostly)

    Have to think long and hard on this one

    my vote is for T-800, he has no blood so drac cant drink anything from him (unless he likes oil) terminator all the way!

    Nice fight to start with.:)

    T-800, it could just take Dracula for a walk in the daylight.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    T800 tracked down John Conners and could easily track down Darcula during day hours (assuming he was programmed to do it) and shove a steak through his chest.

    My juries still out!

    T-800 probably knows enough about human pop-culture to understand Dracula's weaknesses and exploit them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 908 ✭✭✭fluffyVW


    Wendy Torrance (The Shining)
    I love Lee's Dracula but I have to go with T800.

    Like you're all saying he would easily put a stake through Dracula plus T800 has no blood and all.

    T800 gets my vote!!!

    As much as I hate to say it, T-800 would finish Dracula - daylight, steak throught the heart, it wouldnt be too tough.
    Loving the clips btw LZ:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 908 ✭✭✭fluffyVW


    Wendy Torrance (The Shining)
    Forgot to say love the clips too!!! ;) :P
    Awesome idea!!! :D

    Thanks! I have to admit though, it was tough finding short clips for every character so for some I'm just using the trailers that I think sum up the respective characters best. It will be easier for the semis because I'll pick 8/9 minute clips, plenty of them on youtube!:D

    5-1 one so far to the T-800/T-101.

    After giving it much thought I think Darcula would take him, the dude is a few hundred years old and has survived more than a few wars, all the world ones. He is clever, ruthless and very strong. It would take more than a robot with skin to finish him.

    Because he would be well hidden by day the battle would only happen at night. Darcula would be a whole lot quicker than any of T-800 normal foe.

    Dracula would see off the newbie.

    Norman Bates (Psycho)
    I'm for Dracula, on the basis that T-800'd probably not be able to work out what Dracula is in time.

    Dracula's an ancient cunning being. I reckon he'd just use his superhuman strength to fúck T-800 into a blacksmith's furnace. ^^

    Goodpoint,

    Dracula would chose the battle ground and allow T 800 to "hunt" him there before he is disposed of in a varity of ways.

    Thats assuming T-800 doesn't timetravel to Dracula during the day.;)

    The T-800's lead has been reduced. It's now 5-3.

    Dracula has survived many a days and is a dabb hand of staying out of danger during sun time.

    Don't think T-800 would find him during light hours and Dracula would only be found when he wanted to be, namely night time, near a play ground of T-800 destruction :D

    T-800 can't time travel on his own steam. ;)

    T-800 would tear Dracula to bits.

    6-3 to the T-800, two more for the cyborg from the future and the Prince of Darkness crashes out at the QF stage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    Norman Bates (Psycho)
    I think the Dracula guys have made a great case. The fact that the t-800 would have to play on Dracula's turf is the clincher for me. Can't imagine the robot doing well in the castle, too much potential for him to get destroyed by rocks and outsmarted. All he does is chase

    It ain't over yet man.

    6-4 to the T-800, Dracula is gradually closing in.

    Norman Bates (Psycho)
    Dracula.

    Nearly invulnerable like the t800, but also cunning and clever in a way the t800 isn't.

    The t800 would loose I think because he a creature of pure technology and science. Drac understands these things and magic, too.

    7-5 to the T-800, one more and the cyborg can add the Prince of Darkness to his terminated list.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,011 ✭✭✭cHaTbOx


    Dracula muahhaahhaha

    I know! I increased the majority required to eight and I am still confident that was the right decision as by looking at the poll, we had 22 different voters. I'm confident we will get an influx of fresh votes soon! I really do not want to make the deciding vote at this stage.

    Really?


    Cos Doctor Who's race, the time lords, fought a race of Vampires 50,000 years in the future. FACT.

    Where were your "robots" then?
