TPLBI Short (non-canon): Optimus vs Gundam (Death Battle)
The scene then opens up and shows the Vehicon Steve in his quarters in the Nemesis, facing the audience, totally not breaking the 4th Wall.
"Who would win in a fight?" Steve asked the audience. "Now, if that's not the most popular question asked around 'The Transformers Fandom or Continuity' I don't know what is. Oh! No, wait-it'd probably be 'Hey, where do these Vehicons keep coming from?' or 'Have you noticed that we Decepticons are looking pretty evil lately.... well most of the time'. Anyway, there's been plenty of action-packed punch-outs and kick-ass karate matches over the years, like the ones in the Pits of Kaon, but we never really saw a match-up between two of giant strong robots from different franchises: Optimus and the Gundam. Let's see if we can do something about that." Steve finished."
~Location: Autobot Base~
On the top of the base, Simmons and Grif are seen standing, 'guarding' the base. Grif then let's out a sigh of boredom.
"I'm bored..." Grif said.
"Yup..." Simmons agrees.
"You know. for becoming giant transforming robots I thought things would get more interesting, but this... this is boring..." Grif said bluntly.
"Yup... not a single Decepticon attack for a whole month..." Simmon sighs.
The two heard footsteps coming from behind, and they look to see Donut, Raf, Miko, Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee. Unfortunately Washington, Carolina and Optimus went out for a drive whilst Sarge, Doc and O'Malley are somewhere in the base.
"Hey Grif! Hey Simmons!" Miko greeted.
"Sup..." Simmons greeted back.
"Hey Miko..." Grif greeted, as Donut, Raf, Miko, Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee stops in front of them.
"So... what's up?" Miko asked the two Human-turned Vehicons.
"Oh... we're just standing here... guarding the base... prepared for Decepticon attacks..." Simmons said.
"...you do realize that there's really no need for guarding the top..." Bulkhead pointed out.
"Well, Sarge is the one who orders us to guard the base from, he quote: 'any purple bastards...' " Simmons quoted.
"...but there's nothing to guard, but the canyon..." Raf pointed out.
"Oh..." both Grif and Simmons said.
There was awkward silence, until Grif broke the silence.
"Hey..." Grif said catching the group's attention.
"Yeah?" Simmons said, while everyone else just listened.
"Have you guys ever wonder who would win in a fight between Optimus and the Gundam?" Grif asked.
"No! Only hopeless nerds on the internet care about that kind of crap." Simmons replied.
"Gundam? Hey, I watched that Anime when I was young..." Miko said, catching everyone's attention.
"Wait, you watch Gundam when you're were a child?" Grif asked in surprise.
"Yup!"
"...Anyways," Grif rebutted, "Why do you think I'm asking you guys? C'mon, picture it! It would be totally awesome!"
"Hm... yeah, I guess it would be cool." Bulkhead said.
"Betting who would win between our leader and a fictional mech? I'm not sure..." Arcee said, unsure to agree on this.
"Well, yeah, I guess," Simmons muttered, "...Optimus would definitely win though."
"Bullshi-!" Grif was cut off.
"Grif!!" Bumblebee gestures to Raf, who is listening to the conversation.
"Oh... uh... I mean... Bullscrap?" Grif clarifies.
"Much better." Bumblebee nodded in approval.
"Okay..." He said, looking back at Simmons, "...Bullscrap! You're just picking him because you think he's cool. Gundams are way more cooler!"
"Oh, I didn't realize coolness was the deciding factor in a fight to the freaking death, genius!!" Simmons said sarcastically.
"Hey guys!" A familiar voice calls out behind them and they look and it reveals to be Caboose, "...What are you guys talking about?"
"Grif was just asking what would happen if Optimus and the Gundam fought." Arcee explains, facing Caboose.
"Fought who?" Caboose asked.
"One another." Arcee replied.
"Another who?" Caboose asked again.
"What?" Arcee asked.
"What?" Caboose replied.
"What?" Bumblebee beeped.
"What?" Bulkhead replied.
"What?" Miko replied.
"What?" Raf replied.
This strange exchange confused everyone, even the children who looked at each other.
"Just ignore him." Grif said.
"Ohhhh! You mean DEATH BATTLE!" Caboose said dramatically, while Arcee chuckled at his antics.
"I mean... suuure." Simmons and Bumblebee said an unsure, how to reply.
"Oh! Awesome! Hang on, I know some smart people that can help! Be right back!" Caboose said excitedly before running away somewhere leaving the others.
"Do you have any idea what he's talking about?" Simmons asked Grif.
"No," Grif replied, "But I do know you're still wrong."
"No, I think Optimus will win." Raf said.
"Oh whatever, you only go for him because he's the leader of the Autobots." Grif retorted.
Then Caboose returned.
"Okay, I'm back!" Caboose exclaimed, running back.
"That was fast," Grif said.
"Yep," Caboose continued, "I went to the phone and they sent two of their best scientist fighting people to help us!"
"Their best?" Simmons said condescendingly, "Really?"
"Wait, a minute... Caboose who did you call?" Arcee asked in caution.
~Small Timeskip~
"And that's how you write your name in buckshot!" A voice said.
"Caboose...What...the...fuck!?" Ratchet cursed, not noticing the shock faces from the Autobots when they heard him curse out a human word, while the Medic glares at the Blue Idiot.
"Oh, so he gets to curse and I don't!?" Grif said, but it was if ignored.
"Caboose, you brought two humans here and revealed to them our secret Autobot base!?" Ratchet exclaims in anger.
"Yes!" Caboose replies.
Two humans, aside from Miko, Raf and Jack are seen in the Autobot Base, one is Wizard (usually shortened to Wiz) is a presenter of Death Battle alongside Boomstick. He is an intelligent individual who provides technical information, and is much more serious than the comical Boomstick
Boomstick is a presenter of Death Battle alongside Wiz. Being the "funny man" of the duo, he's usually the one providing the comedy relief and making (usually inappropriate) jokes, and noting how hot several of the female competitors are. He still does help with giving information on the fighters being a "Weapons Expert" of sorts.
"Alright, alright, enough screwing around," Wiz said, "We've got a job to do."
"Oh, fine!" Boomstick responded.
The Autobots, Reds and Blues looked at the new arrivals, with raised eyebrows.
"I think you're forgetting that best scientist," Grif told Caboose, "Is just a step up from incompetent."
"Command sent us Donut," Simmons said.
"I rest my case." Grif said.
"Hey!" Donut said.
"Introducing!" Caboose announced, "Jiz and Broomstick-k-k-k-k...!!"
Immediately, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Donut and the three Children laughs at the mispronunciations whilst Arcee chuckles and Ratchet facepalms.
"Hahahaha! Good one!" Tucker praised.
"It's Wiz and Boomstick," Wiz corrected.
"Wow," Grif said, "Those are the dumbest names I've heard."
"Franklin..." Bumblebee begins
"Delano..." Jack added.
"...Donut." Simmons finished.
"And I retract my previous statement," Grif admitted.
"Hey!" Donut protested.
"Yeah, well..." Boomstick said, "You've got the dumbest face I've ever seen!"
"Uh, I thought you were supposed to be smart," Grif retorted, "I'm wearing a mask."
"Oh my God!!" Caboose exclaimed, "Me too!!"
"Me three!" Donut added.
"So how does this work?" Bumblebee asked.
"Yeah," Simmons said, "Do you just draw names out of a hat, or cast some chicken bones around?"
"It's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win, a Death Battle!!" Wiz responded, rather dramatically, while everyone looks at him confused.
"Why'd you say it like that?" Jack asked in confusion.
"Just... Just watch," Boomstick stuttered.
_____________________________________________________
(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates*)
Wiz: Across this vast world of different nations with different people, it is the clash of opinions which truly divides us. However, there is one universal truth that absolutely everyone can agree on.
Boomstick: Giant robots are freaking awesome! Like Optimus Prime, the original G1 Transformer.
Wiz: And the RX-78-2, the original Mobile Suit Gundam.
Boomstick: These aren't just any robots. They're the old-school classics! The first of their kind, and we're in for a Robo-battle of east vs. west!
Wiz: Well, Optimus was originally a Japanese toy-
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
_____________________________________________________
Optimus Prime
Wiz: Millions of years ago, on a distant planet called Cybertron, a great unrest grew between two factions of robotic beings, the Decepticons and the Autobots. With little warning, they found themselves entangled in civil war.
Boomstick: Led by that douchebag, Megatron, the Decepticons started gunning down any bot they pleased for basically no reason, including some guy named Orion Pax, which will be important later. Rest in peace, ro-bro.
Popup: In the IDW Comics G1 continuity, Orion Pax was a captain of the Rodion Police, who went on the challenge the Cybertronian Senate.
_____________________________________________________
"Hey, wait a minute! Where'd you get all this footage? Have you been spying on us!?" Ratchet asked in shock, alongside the Autobots, and Reds and Blues, as the children looks around for hidden cameras.
"Don't worry about..." Both Wiz and Boomstick said in unison nonchalantly, trying not to sound suspicious.
_____________________________________________________
Wiz: What Megatron didn't know was that this seeming random encounter would end up reshaping the universe.
Boomstick: Thanks to a robot Gandalf, Orion Pax was rebuilt into something bigger, stronger, and way more recognizable.
Wiz: The newest commander of the Autobots had risen: Optimus Prime.
Optimus: The Autobots will never sacrifice freedom.
Boomstick: Optimus is a powerful warrior, with tons of awesome robo-powers.
Wiz: As a Transformer, he can scan nearby objects and morph his body to resemble one, becoming a robot in disguise.
Boomstick: His favorite is a classic 1979 Kenworth K-100 tractor, an oldie but a goodie which sports five hundred horsepower and can book it over eighty miles per hour. He even gets a trailer, which, when he doesn't need it, mysteriously disappears into thin air. No, really, where the hell does that thing go? I need to know.
Popup: According to a 1985 Japanese catalog, the trailer is teleported back to base via a "special signal" when Optimus doesn't need it. It's actually a weaponized Command Deck.
Wiz: More importantly, the lifeforce of every Transformer resides in their spark, sort of like a soul, and Optimus is no different, except that his spark gives him a few unique abilities.
Boomstick: Yeah, his spark's pretty rare, compared to other robo-people, it gives him increased strength, speed, and durability. He can shoot laser beams from his hands, fly with either a jetpack or his feet boosters, and move his limbs around while their detached like some sort of ghost robot Rayman. Ooh!
Wiz: Optimus is referred to as a point one percenter, that is how rare a being of his caliber is.
Popup: After binary binding with a Nebulan named Hi-Q, Optimus could combine with the Combat Deck to achieve the Powermaster form, and later merged with Hi-Q to become an Action Master.
Boomstick: Is that what all those people on Wall Street were protesting?
Wiz: Even then, many of Optimus' abilities are further enhanced thanks to his possession of one of the most powerful artifacts in Cybertron's history: the Matrix of Leadership.
Boomstick: Oh yeah, you know, it's nothing much, just A PIECE OF ROBOT GOD!
Wiz: The matrix is a conduit for the power of Primus, the creator of the Transformer race. With this, Optimus can heal some of his most grievous wounds.
Boomstick: But not all the time, like, you know, when he died.
Optimus: And use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour...
Wiz: Well, he has an impressive arsenal to hopefully keep that particular problem from coming up again.
Boomstick: Hah... yeah... Never again... Regardless, he wields the Ion Blaster, a giant death cannon which Prime one-hands like a boss!
_____________________________________________________
The Autobots, Reds and Blues are now seen in the training chamber and Caboose is now seen holding the ion blaster with Boomstick on his right shoulder and Bumblebee is in the center of room.
"I mean serieously, this big ol' rifle fires bolts of energy strong enough to take down most Decepticons, and can even be fired into space from ground level! Even better, it never seems to run out of ammo! Ah, one can only dream..." Boomstick said excitedly.
"Wait, where did he get that thing?!" Grif exclaims, pointing at the ion blaster that Caboose is holding.
"Let's test that, shall we?" Boomstick said, as Caboose points the Ion Blaster at Bumblebee.
"Uh...Caboose why are you aiming that at me?" Bumblebee asked nervously, as he took a step back.
"Fire in the hole in one!" Caboose shouted as the Ion Blaster is primed.
Without warning, Caboose then starts firing the Ion blaster at the Autobot Scout, as Bumblebee yells in pain.
"AAH! OW!!" Bumblebee yells in pain as he falls on the ground 'dead'.
"Oh my god, Caboose you killed Bumblebee you team killing fucktard!" Tucker said in shock.
"You bastards!" Raf exclaims, causing the the humans, Autobots, Reds, and Blue look at the young child in shock.
"Language!" Ratchet shouted.
"G-guys... I'm okay..." Bumblebee beeped, catching their attention as Ratchet comes to check in him.
"Well, in conclusion, I love this thing." Boomstick said in a contented voice, while Bumblebee weakly raise a middle finger at the host.
"I fucking hate you Boomstick..." Bumblebee growled weakly at the host, while Arcee Covers Raf and Miko's eyes from the Middle Finger.
_____________________________________________________
Wiz: Optimus Prime also carries numerous weapons composed of Energon, a raw energy force used by Transformers to power their technology and, well, themselves.
Boomstick: He's got a glowy Energon Axe and Energon Swords.
_____________________________________________________
"Allow us to demonstrate!"
Now in the chamber, Bulkhead and Grif are seen in the middle of the room with Caboose across them. equipped the Energon Axe and Energon Sword.
"Wait, why am I here!?" Bulkhead exclaims.
"Here's Bulkhead and Grif in the middle of training Room." Boomstick states, gesturing to the two.
"Uh oh..." Grif said, realizing what's going to happen.
"...And here's Caboose equipped with an Energon Axe, and Energon Sword." Boomstick said, gesturing to the Blue Vehicon, who in turn transforms his left servo into an Energon Axe, and his right servo into an Energon Sword.
"And what could go wrong?" Caboose said with his two weapons ready.
"...Oh, shit..." Bulkhead cursed, also realizing what's going to happen next.
"Alright blue Buddy, show them a demonstration." Boomstick encourages.
"Okay!" Caboose complies and charges at Grif and Bulkhead, with his Energon Axe and Sword in the ready.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" The two held each other and screamed, as Caboose is seen beating them up.
"I DEMAND COOKIES!" Caboose yells out as he beats them up.
"As you can see, it's perfect for slicing up robots of all sizes, and I guess they probably work pretty good on people too." Boomstick explains, as the sound of beating, screaming and clashing is heard in the background, while the bots in the sidelines can only watch in shock.
After Caboose is done beating up Bulkhead and Grif, they are seen to have injuries all around them.
"Ooooowww...." Bulkhead groans in pain.
"Why won't someone just kill meeeeeee...." Grif said, equally in pain as Ratchet comes to fix their injuries.
"How did you convince Caboose to beat up Grif and Bulkhead?!" Arcee asked in shock, on how the Blue Idiot is willing to beat up his own teammates
"I promised him an Orange Juice and Chocolate cookies." Boomstick replied.
"What!?" Everyone exclaims.
_____________________________________________________
Popup: Optimus may be honorable, but will do whatever it takes to save people. He once fought his way into the Cybertronian Senate using the corpse of his friend Springarm as a weapon!
Wiz: Fighting fire with fire, Optimus Prime led the fight against the Decepticons for several millenia. Eventually, the war even found its way to our own Earth.
Boomstick: But we've got nothing to worry about with Optimus protecting the planet. He's tanked blasts that would tear other bots apart. Like when this mega-refinery exploded, it could be seen from outer space! He's punched the ground so hard the trees around him freakin exploded.
Wiz: Child's play, Boomstick! He's strong enough to tip this large oil tanker, which, when compared to the real life Seawise Giant, must weigh over 700,000 tons.
Boomstick: He's thrown a satellite into orbit, and punched hard enough to crack Sixshot's chest plate.
Wiz: Who boasted that his armor was drawn from the compacted subatomic matter from a collapsed star. Just to let you know, such a star would have a density of over 300 billion tons per cubic inch. While great density does not necessarily beget great toughness, this still means that Sixshot's armor was 500 billion times more dense than osmium, the most dense natural material on Earth.
Boomstick: You're the most dense natural material on Earth...
Wiz: What'd you say?
Boomstick: And our robo-commander wrecked it! He's fast enough to catch up to this Decepticon space shuttle in just twenty three seconds!
Wiz: Given the size of the earth here and angle of ascent, we can determine he's moving around 125,000 miles per hour. He's also a talented leader, capable of commanding a thousand battles at the same time via the Omniglobe.
Popup: The Omniglobe simply funneled information to Optimus, as he can't physically be in one thousand places at once. It did not enane his cognitive abilities.
Boomstick: Like Skynet, but in a giant disco ball. He's used that crazy strength of his to punch through Megatron, who once tanked an explosion big enough to knock Cybertron out of orbit, and thanks to the weird robo-magic of the Matrix, he's even defeated Unicorn-
Wiz: Unicron.
Boomstick: Who's basically a giant robot Satan who eats planets! This guy is unstoppable!
Wiz: Not necessarily. Optimus is certainly powerful, but after all is said and done, he has one major weakness...
Optimus: To violate that law would destroy our honor.
Wiz: He's just too nice.
Boomstick: Yeah, he's kinda all about the whole 'honor' and 'fair fighting' thing, which kinda screwed him over more than once, and even gotten him killed! Multiple times! Plus, he killed himself once just because he accidentally broke the rules in a freaking game! Damn!
Popup: Specifically, he felt he broke his own rules of morality by sacrificing NPCs to defeat Megatron in virtual reality, and so sentenced himself to death. This was his in-canon death for years!
_____________________________________________________
"Wait What!?" Everyone in the Autobots literally exclaims when they heard that.
"It's an alternate universe! Don't worry about it! It's G1!" Wiz reassured.
_____________________________________________________
Wiz: But when his back is to the wall and all hell's breaking loose, he'll fight to the end, riding the eye of the storm.
Megatron: Prime!
Optimus: One shall stand, one shall fall!
_____________________________________________________
Gundam
Wiz: In the year 2179, humanity has embraced the stars.
Boomstick: Well, mostly.
Wiz: Right, after a somewhat united humanity expanded across the solar system, the ideologies between those on Earth and those in space began to drift apart. A new Spacenoid republic, the Principality of Zeon, arose to challenge the Earth Federation.
Boomstick: Spacenoid? That like the Domino's pizza mascot, but in space?
Wiz: No, more like space Nazis.
Boomstick: Oh, well, I guess it's no surprise that they started a war, by gassing a populated space colony and dropping the whole thing on the planet! Man, that's messed up, but that's just how it started. For the real star of the show, some smart guys put their heads together and came up with the coolest thing they could think of: Giant fighting robots!
Wiz: These were Mobile Suits, and one of Earth's...nuttier engineers had developed a suit which would put all others to shame, this was the RX-78-2, otherwise known as the Gundam.
(*Cues: Power Within*)
Popup: Currently, there are over 400 different Gundam models across over 100 different television, film, manga, novel, and video game releases!
Boomstick: There have been lots of mobile suits named Gundam, but this was the original granddaddy of 'em all.
Wiz: This experimental mobile suit was hidden on a remote colony, but before its maiden voyage with the equally classified White Base could begin, it was caught in a surprise Zeon attack.
Boomstick: With just two Zaku suits, the space nazis wiped out almost all of the White Base's military crew. The only people left to save these secret projects were civilians, who had no idea these things even existed.
Wiz: Among those who rose up was a young boy named Amuro Ray. Brilliant, albeit standoffish, Amuro was actually the son of the Gundam's chief engineer, and had already stumbled upon the mech's coded blueprints.
Boomstick: So, he grabbed the owners manual, jumped in the Gundam, and flew into the fight. Damn! Not too shabby for going off just the manual.
Popup: Piloting the RX-78-2 is extremely complex, using a mix of levers, buttons, and pedals to command individual joints. The Learning Computer helps inexperienced pilots adapt, though even that is a difficult task.
Wiz: Amuro quickly adapted to its complex controls, thanks to its Learning Computer system, designed so the Gundam itself can learn its pilot's limitations and compensate.
Boomstick: Its body is made of a super durable luna titanium alloy called Gundarium, of course...
Wiz: Yet another fictional metal that's way better than anything in real life.
Boomstick: For weapons, it's got twin sixty millimeter Vulcan guns for ears, it's got a shield that can block shots strong enough to take down warships, and a Gravity Hammer, a supersized flail that's rocket propelled! Whoever came up with that is my goddamn hero. Same with the guy who built the ultra destructive Beam Rifle.
_____________________________________________________
In the chamber, Ratchet is seen running away from Caboose and Boomstick, realizing he is next for 'Demonstration'. While the Blue Vehicon is holding the Beam Rifle.
"It's not as flashy as the ion blaster, but it's got a very impressive range and power!" Boomstick said with pride.
Boomstick then gestures to Caboose to give a demonstration as the Blue Vehicon shoots Ratchet with the Beam Rifle.
"OOW!!! CABOOSE!" Ratchet yells in pain as the Beam hits him and he falls on the ground in pain.
"Tucker did it!" Caboose said.
"I'm standing right here you fucking dumbass!" Tucker shouted from the sidelines.
Boomstick lets out a sigh of satisfaction, "It just feels right..."
_____________________________________________________
Wiz: That would be the ingenious Dr. Minovsky. Thanks to him, the beam rifle is a marvelous feat of weapons engineering. Minovsky had developed a way to miniaturize the enormous mega particle canons found on warships without losing any power.
Boomstick: The result is a Gundam sized rifle that can take down entire fleets of ships all on its own! It's like having a pistol with all the power of a thousand tanks.
Wiz: A single shot could easily tear through a 13,000 ton Musai-class warship. Given the official stats of this ship, to tear it asunder like so would require a strike worth nearly nine thousand tons of TNT.
Boomstick: Sure, the beam rifle only has sixteen shots, but who really cares when you just need one?
Wiz: Last, but not least, the Gundam carries two retractable beam sabers.
Boomstick: Cause you can't have space battles without royalty-free lightsabers.
_____________________________________________________
In the Chamber, Bumblebee is now in the middle of the Training Room, after his recovery.
"Oh shit...not again..." Bumblebee beeped, realizing he's going to be used for another demonstration.
"Allow us to-" Boomstick was the cut-off by Arcee.
"Caboose!" Arcee calls out, catching the Blue Idiot's attention, "...we can go in a picnic and have energon ice cream together, if you don't do the demonstration!"
"Gasp! Am I hearing you right or is my mind playing trick on me again!?" Caboose said excitedly.
"I guess you will have to find out!" Arcee replied, with a light blush on her faceplate.
"Okay!" Caboose said as he drops the Beam lasers and walks towards Arcee, while Bumblebee let's out a sigh of relief.
"Aw come on!" Boomstick whines.
_____________________________________________________
Popup: The Gundam's cockpit can double as an escape pod or it can combine with the G-Armor module for specialized assignments.
Wiz: But all these amazing weapons would be useless without an exceptional pilot. Despite still technically being a civilian, Amuro became the main pilot for the Gundam. Turns out, his skill was mostly thanks to his previously unknown abilities. Amuro was a Newtype.
Boomstick: Like a Pokémon?
Wiz: See, apparently, humankind was never meant to live under gravity's pull. In space, without it literally weighing down their souls, some humans developed psychic powers.
Boomstick: That is the dumbest backstory for why someone gets powers, and we've heard a lot of 'em, Wiz. So, what, he can like, read minds or something?
Wiz: Sort of, these powers and their capabilities have little definition, often differing between different people. Most Newtypes can instantly understand each other upon contact, even drawing kinship between sworn enemies. Amuro's abilities, in particular, grant him something akin to precognition, he can predict exactly what will happen on the battlefield and where his enemies will be, and can capitalize on it if he reacts fast enough.
Popup: With Amuro's Newtype powers, the RX-78-2 could shoot down targets too small and fast for eyes or military scanners to pick up, suggesting high hypersonic reaction speeds when compared to lesser mobile suits.
Pilot: How could he possibly predict I'd attack from the other side?
Boomstick: He's shot down targets too fast for the eye to see, and navigated his friends through a collapsing fortress with no casualties. By the end of the war, his own reflexes were pushing the limits of the Gundam itself.
Wiz: A magnetic coating was added to the Gundam to compensate, reducing the suit's friction and increasing its speed by 27 percent.
Popup: Fearing Newtypes, the Federation removed Amuro from active duty for about seven years, this hardly affected his combat skill.
Boomstick: Over fourteen years of military service, Amuro became a legendary pilot, he even learned how to use these super fast funnel guns with his psycho-whatzit powers.
Popup: While Amuro has shown the ability to psychokinetically control funnels and bits, these were not a part of the RX-78-2 Gundam's arsenal.
Wiz: Speaking of speed, the Gundam is comparable to the Red Zaku, piloted by Amuro's rival, Char, which is three times faster than the standard green model.
Boomstick: During the first large scale battle with mobile suits, a Zaku flew through the battlefield in seven seconds.
Wiz: By comparing the 1072 foot long Magellan-Class starships in the distance, we can tell the Zaku flew over seven miles. This puts the standard Zaku's top speed just under Mach five. When tripled to compare to Char, this means the Gundam can move at least eleven thousand miles per hour, fifteen times the speed of sound. Highballing it with Amuro's Newtype powers and magnetic coating, it's possible the Gundam can move as fast as Mach 25, though anything over that would put it dangerously close to re-entry speeds, which its chassis cannot survive on its own.
Popup: In case atmospheric re-entry is necessary, the RX-78-2 does have a single-use deployable heat proof shield.
Boomstick: The Gundam is strong enough to lift and throw this goofy Mobile Suit, and tough enough to power through a magnetic field that's 7,200 degrees Fahrenheit. It's survived plenty of really big explosions, including a detonating asteroid and a nuclear blast which wrecked Amuro's home colony. I bet it could wipe out the space Nazis all on its own!
Wiz: It nearly did! Amuro and his Gundam were instrumental to the war effort. It doesn't matter how much the Gundam was burned; it would always stand up, dispel the fear, and fly.
Amuro's Gundam slices through several Zaku suits.
Amuro: Die!
_____________________________________________________
(*Cues: Wings of Iron - Therewolf Werewolf*)
In the middle of an asteroid field, there is a spacecraft in the middle of nowhere, apparently abandoned.
Suddenly, a laser cuts through a wall and the RX-78-2 Gundam enters the ship.
"Amuro! Amuro, come in! Where are you?" Sayla calls him from the comm. link.
"I'm checking something out, Sayla." Amuro said, before walking in, "...It's more than meets the eye!
"Get your butt back to White Base! If there's trouble, we can't send backup." Sayla warns him.
A red truck suddenly starts its engine and drives towards the Gundam.
"Let's roll!" Optimus Prime announces.
Noticing the attack, the Gundam turns around to see the truck transforming into another giant robot, Optimus Prime, who punches the Gundam out of the ship and into space.
FIGHT!
The Gundam grabs it's Beam Rifle and aims it at the Autobot.
"It's an enemy Mobile Suit!" The Gundam starts firing some laser beams, which Optimus avoids with ease.
"I told you. I TOLD YOU!" Sayla said, before cutting off.
Optimus then jumps of the asteroid and fires his ion blaster, but the Gundam covers with its shield.
"Ngha! It's too fast!" Amuro said as he continues to fire a few shots from his Beam rifle.
Optimus hides behind an asteroid which gets destroyed immediately. He fires at the Gundam and manages to hit its right leg. Amuro's Newtype powers kick in at this point.
"There you are!" Amuro said.
Amuro aims at Optimus and hits him, causing him to fly towards the ship, with Amuro following behind attacking Optimus with his shield. However, Optimus punches the Gundam's rifle away uses his axe as the Gundam uses its beam saber to defend itself.
"Vile Decepticon! I have been in battle for countless eons!" Optimus growled.
Optimus breaks the stalemate and dropkicks the Gundam away. He then charges towards the Gundam. The Gundam tries to punch Optimus, but Optimus dodges to the side before transforming into vehicle mode and ramming the Gundam. Optimus then swings his axe to destroy the Gundam, but Amuro's Newtype powers kick in again, allowing it to block the attack at the cost of its shield.
It then takes out its second beam saber, knocking Optimus back with it and then throwing one as a Beam Javelin, which hits Optimus square in the chest. The Gundam then charges to attack Optimus again.
"Not today!" Optimus fires his Ion Blaster at the ground behind the Gundam, sending it flying towards him, allowing him to strike the Gundam and send it flying away, before removing the beam javelin from his chest. The Gundam's beam rifle strikes its head as it's flying away, which the Gundam then grabs it.
"Only one shot left..." Amuro thought, he takes aim and fires, hitting Optimus square on and destroying the Arc, the two were fighting on. Optimus falls off.
"No... NO!!!" Optimus shouted.
As Optimus is falling, he ends up falling straight into the Gundam, who is similarly sent falling to Earth. The two robots re-enter the Atmosphere, with the Gundam reaching the ground first.
"Ugh... I hate gravity..." Amuro said distorted.
He then looks to the side and Optimus lands, his impact creating a dust cloud which obscures Amuro's vision. His Newtype powers kick in, alerting him. Optimus jumps out of the cloud and firing his Ion Blaster. However, Amuro can't react in time and the Gundam gets hit. The Gundam then takes out its one remaining Beam Saber and leaps towards Optimus, slicing through the Ion Blaster.
However, Optimus takes the opportunity to counter and starts relentlessly punching and kicking the Gundam as it tries to fight back. The Gundam then backs away and sees Optimus coming from above with his axe. Amuro barely avoids the hit and stabs through Optimus' arm with his beam saber before punching Optimus, knocking him to the ground.
"Not bad..." Amuro said.
The Gundam then approaches Optimus and lifts him by the head, preparing to finish him off.
"I'm just better." Amuro declares.
Optimus has one last trick up his sleeve and starts reaching towards his chest piece.
"I must stand... so you shall fall!" As Optimus says this, he opens his chest piece and unleashes a giant energy blast from the Matrix of Leadership, striking the Gundam clean through the chest.
Amuro lets out a final cry as a massive explosion occurs. Once the dust clears, Optimus is seen standing over the only thing left of his foe: The Gundam's head.
K.O!

"He's got the touch! He's got the poweeeeer!" Boomstick sang.
Arcee, Caboose, the two who are holding Energon Ice creams, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Grif, whom recovered from the 'demonstrations' and Jack, Miko, Raf, Donut, Simmons, Wiz and Boomstick who were silently staring at the screen.
"Holy shit!" Grif said in amazement.
"I know! He did not even have a body under his armor! He was a ghost the whole time!" Caboose exclaims in shock.
"I told you, I TOLD you!" Bumblebee beeped in a victorious tone.
"Like Bruce Willis..." Caboose said under his breath.
"Bullscrap! The Gundam is stronger he should have won!" Grif said angrily, clearly not happy he lost the bet.
"Not True Grif..." Wiz begins.
Cuts to the results.
_____________________________________________________
Wiz: The Gundam was an impressive machine and Amuro was a skilled pilot, but Optimus' millions of years of battle experience completely overshadowed Amuro's 14. Also, we already know that Optimus was over six times faster and nine thousand times stronger.
Popup: While he was technically with the military for 14 years before his mysterious demise, Amuro spent 7 of them in isolation by the Earth Federation's decree.
Boomstick: Holy hell! Who knew Optimus was so freakin' buff?! But the Gundam held plenty of its own advantages. With Amuro's super future-sense powers, he could keep up with Optimus' speed. And with the Gundam's firepower, who cares how much it could lift?
Wiz: Unfortunately, the Gundam's limited ammunition meant this couldn't last. And even then, Optimus could certainly survive a shot from the Beam Rifle.
Boomstick: Remember that refinery explosion Optimus survived? The one you could see from outer space?
Wiz: This blast left an enormous gash on the planet Cybertron. To measure the power of this explosion, we needed to compare it to the curve of the planet. Now, Cybertron's size is pretty inconsistent throughout G1 Transformers history, but even when using the alternating sizes between the cartoons and the comics, the blast is far more destructive than the Beam Rifle in both cases.
Boomstick: And Optimus just walked right out of that bitch! And this isn't just some weird outlier just out of the comics, either. In the cartoon, Megatron survived a blast that pushed Cybertron out of orbit! And he's pretty comparable to Optimus!
Popup: By measuring the kinetic energy of Cybertron as it was sent into space, we found this explosion to yield about 4.48 ninatons of TNT. Megatron survived that!
Wiz: To be fair, the Gundam boasted some impressive durability feats too.
Boomstick: Like when Amuro accidentally blew up a Zaku's nuclear reactor right in his own face! Hey, give him a break. It was his first time.
Wiz: This explosion created a hole in the space colony which sucked out Amuro's father-
Boomstick: Whoops! On the bright side, he's gonna save some money on Father's Day gifts, right?
Wiz: And with his height in mind, we deduced the scope of the explosion.
Boomstick: It's over 150,000 kilotons of TNT. That's 10,000 times more powerful than the bomb that dropped on Hiroshima. But still nowhere close to the refinery explosion Optimus survived.
Popup: While its relevance to G1 continuity is dubious, the Nuclear Quest Super Convoy toy depicts Optimus wearing armor which can withstand the gravitational forces within black holes!
Wiz: Also, the Gundam couldn't dodge Optimus' Ion Blaster forever. It was fast enough to strike down targets in orbit from ground level. That puts its laser speed over three million miles per hour.
Popup: This is actually consistent with Transformers lore, as Megatron's comparable Fusion Cannon could also fire projectiles into space.
Boomstick: Even when he knew it was coming, Amuro couldn't react quick enough to block or dodge anything that fast. And even then, Optimus' time in the Omniglobe proves he can think way faster than Amuro.
Wiz: And just to blow your mind even more, in order to obliterate Unicron with the Matrix, the energy output must've equaled more than... ahem... 40 yottatons of TNT.
Boomstick: Like the Star Wars guy?!
Cue Yoda laughing.
Boomstick: And you know what they say: size matters not, especially when Optimus has defeated as big as Devastator.
Wiz: The Gundam was a powerful Mobile Suit with some astonishing firepower, but was ultimately outmatched by the Autobot's strength, speed, durability and experience.
Cuts back to Autobots.

"... I guess... that makes... senses..." Grif grumbled, still angry he lost the bet.
"I'd say Optimus was primed for this fight!" Miko punned, making some of them groan.
"Hey! That's my job little missy." Boomstick exclaims.
"The winner is Optimus Prime." Wiz declares.
"Hey!" A voice catches their attention and it's revealed to Sarge, with Doc and Lopez beside him.
"...What in Sam Hill are you boys doing in here?" Sarge yelled angrily as he ran in with his servo transformed into a shotgun, everyone stared at sarge in silence.
"...and who the hell are these dirtbags?" He demanded with his shotgun primed and pointed at the two human host.
"wha-ho! Easy there, sir. We're just called here by your friend!" Wiz said in a hurry.
"Hey, nice shotgun! I like the cut of your jib!" Boomstick said happily, unfazed with the Weapon primed and aimed at them.
"Hehehe... Well, whaddaya know? Someone who has an eye for the finer things in life!" Sarge said in an appreciative tone, as he puts his weapon away.
"Hoho, you better believe it." Boomstick confirmed.
"Y'know, you remind me of someone-- Almost like the son that I...never wanted..." Sarge said casually, while the Autobots, Reds, Blue and Children looks at Sarge on shock on how he would casually say that.
"Well, that's funny. I was about to say you're like the pappy I never had. When I was a kid he ran out on us to join the Army and never came back." Boomstick stated.
In the small awkward silence, realization suddenly hits them as they stared wide eyed at Sarge, before looking at Boomstick in shock by the revelation.
"...Huh.... Well...how about that? Time to move along, I guess. Nothing to see here. Do-do-do Do-di-do Do-do." Sarge said nervously, before he backed away while singing a little ditty to himself.
As Sarge walks away and the singing fades away slowly. Everyone looks at Boomstick, expecting what his reaction will be.
"What a nice guy!" Boomstick said happily.
There was awkward silence before Doc broke it.
"That...was a bit awkward..." Doc said.
"Yup..." Ratchet agrees.
