Army of Terminators (T-800) vs a hive of Xenomorphs

[Sakuraba is #1]

If there was an army of 1,000 T-800 Terminators versus a hive of 2,000 Xenomorphs which side would come out victorious?

The Xenomorphs main weapon is of course their agility, strength and their acid, which seems to eat through inorganic matter more efficiently. The T-800 is made of titanium and is a machine.

The only weapon allowed for the T-800 is a shotgun with no extra rounds.

No weapons allowed for either side.

No weapons ? They both pretty much are weapons. You gonna hog tie em and have them flop around in some kind of bizarre fish out of water battle?

 

[bandicoot]

No weapons? So the Xenomorphs will have their tails cropped, their acidic spit washed out with Listerine, and their second mouth removed, right?

 

[Osculater]

Skynet would create an Exo-Terminator

 

[MicroBrew]

Hard to say because we don't know if the Xeno's acid will have a severe detrimental effect.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Would a terminator with 5 rounds be able to take out two xenomorphs?

 

[crabmeat]

The T-800 could use it's nuclear power cell.

No phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?

 

[chill doggie]

Easy win for the alien, their acid will corrode the titanium easily on a stock T-800. Terminator would need hydrophobic prep.

Since Weyland-Yutani created worker synths, and because their core MO explicitly involves profiting from advanced technological development, one would believe that WT would have created deployable combat synth models.

If they have deployable combat synth models, why even send in the colonial marines?

This has always been my question

Let's think of this...

Is a Xenos teeth, jaw, tail or claws strong enough to damage the T800s endo skeleton? I don't think so, they'd flay the flesh off the Terminators but all it would do is make it look cooler...

So the only thing that would cause damage (and im assuming it would based on the acid eating through space ship decking) is the acid blood...a very passive "weapon": meaning the xeno needs to be injured to injure the T800...

...but just injuring a Terminator won't stop them, sure a t800 might decapitate at xeno and get sprayed, maybe even lose some limbs to acid...but it will not stop unless it's completely destroyed, it's cpu is dissolved, or it loses all power...

Meanwhile xenos die like most organisms would, destroy vitals.

Other advantage T800s would have is (artificial) intelligence. After the first Terminator dies tearing a xeno apart, the machines realize they can fashion weapons from their fallen to damage the aliens with less risk to their own bodies...

T800 in a close 29-28 fight

This is assuming xeno blood dissolves the endo skelly if not total domination.

If the T800s have projectile weapons "game over man! Game over!"

Xenos need a 3-1 advantage for a long shot victory. I'd say 5-1 for the advantage...

I wasn’t thinking that they don’t actually shoot the acid.
But the xeno blood doesn’t affect any part of their biology. Not sure what you meant there in the end in terms of machines fashioning weapons. From their fallen terminator comrades?
They could fashion armor and acid resistant weapons from the fallen xenos endo skeletons/bones though.

 

[Fedorgasm]

Yup. One terminator walks out into the middle of the battlefield and gets swarmed by the xenos, then he blows his power cell and nukes the entire horde.

Then the other terminators come out and mop up any survivors.

probably a lot cheaper.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

I'm going with the Terminators.

How can it be an easy win for Xenomorph?



T-800 body was fully submerged in basically Lava and he still manage to give a thumbs up meaning he is still capable of computing actions.




The alien acid took over 30s from the beginning of the attack to melting the metal floor.

So even assuming the Exo-skeleton of T-800 is as "weak" as the metal floor, they have over 30s to react. Probably closer to over a minute. I believe the Exo-Skeleton of T-800 is way stronger than normal metal.

Xenomorph melee attack won't do much except MAYBE tear off limbs of T-800 which will STILL do basically nothing. Their only chance of seriously damaging is the Acid of their blood which will kill themselves anyway.

Even without a shotgun as a weapon, T-800 wins if the ratio is 1000:2000. If it's 100:2000, Xenomorph might have a chance. But I'm still giving it to T-800. Maybe 10:2000, Xenomorph could win.

Good to that you know your place.

Have you guys ever heard of Warhammer: 40,000?
