A serious movie question - Robocop vs T-800 Terminator

Diamondback · May 19, 2018

Serious movie question: What gun for genetically altered mutant T-rex from hell with chameleon camo and usable, human-like hands? Not those pussy stunguns the guys in the movie used, what are YOU taking if it's just you versus one of Bond Villain Wannabe Henry Wu's genespliced Frankendino freakshows?

--Indoraptor (new movie): Flamethrower. Damn thing's basically a Raptorburster Xenomorph, and Xenos hate fire, so Burn Baby Burn!
--Indominus Rex (last movie): A p***ed off Tyrannosaurus. Hopefully she's more interested in the territorial challenger than me... Failing that, we're gonna need man-portable antitank weaponry. Recoilless rifle from a rooftop? TOW missile? W54 Davy Crockett nukezooka? Remember, you have the problem of hitting what you may or may not be able to see... and the damn thing can hide from infrared too. (Hence the need for a hunting partner with good, long-range sense of smell...)

If we're getting into hardware, let me remind you that the Terminator's weapon of choice is a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 watt range.
Robocop's armor is Anti-ballistic carbon frame and titanium plates, clearly no match for a T-800's seek and destroy missions.

Yet somehow at the end of each and every movie Robocop is still alive and the Terminator is either smashed to bits in a press or slag in a cat of molten metal. The Terminator is so bad at survival he even killed himself once.

Firepower is all well and good, but if you can't hit what you are aiming at it's all a waste. Maybe the Terminator would have a better chance if he dropped all that macho bubblegum and chose a more controllable weapon? He would also finally be free to explore his latent urges and experiment with edgy haircuts, cross gender fashion styles, manscaping, and just a touch of makeup. Pretty soon all he will be doing all his pursuing in certain bars.

Robocop, on the other hand, will continue to kick arse as always and by the end of the movie will not only be alive but the bad guys will all be greasy spots.
