Hardware vs Terminator, two cybernetic killers goes out in the battle of the ultimate killing machine

<Cue: Invader Theme>

Toomi: The future holds the key to many cool things in the future, ranging from flying cars to jetpacks

Megumi: And a bunch of robots with a killer intent.

Toomi: Such as M.A.R.K 13, the rampaging robot,

Megumi: And the T-800, aka the Terminator, she's Sachi-san, Toomi-san and I'm Megumi-san

Sachi: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle

M.A.R.K 13 tears into What if Battles

<Cue: The Order of Death by Public Image Ltd>

Sachi: Mark 13 is the thirteenth chapter of the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It contains Jesus' predictions of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and disaster for Judea, as well as his eschatological discourse. And the one phase that represents the following combatant is "No Flesh Shall Be Spared"

Toomi: In an irradiated wasteland, a lone nomad was just trekking until he found a robot buried deep within the sand. 

<Shows the nomad finding a robot head in the sand>

Megumi: He then collects the pieces and takes them to junk dealer Alvy, who is talking with 'Hard Mo' Baxter, a former soldier, and Mo's friend Shades. Because when you find robotic parts, the best solution is to sell them to junk dealers.

Sachi: When Alvy steps away, Mo buys the robot parts from the nomad and sells all but the head to Alvy.

Megumi: Intrigued by the technology, Alvy begins to research its background. Mo and Shades visit Jill, Mo's reclusive girlfriend, and then Mo presents the head to her as a Christmas gift. And long story short, they argued about sterilization, had some sex while some creepy pervertic neighbour jerks off from a distance.

Toomi: As the show goes on, it turns out that the robot is known as a "M.A.R.K 13" which is part of a government conspiracy for human genocide. 

Megumi: And back in her house, Jill's entire house went on a power outage just as the M.A.R.K 13 recharged itself with the electricity, using the sculpture body as a body for itself.

Sachi: The robot then went on to persue Jill, killing her pervertic neighbour in the process before cornering her into a refridgerator.

Megumi: But as Jill manages to fight back, Mo, Shades and the security team barges in and long story short, they destroyed it.

Toomi: However, it turns out the robot was still alive and it dragged Jill out of the house, throwing her into the neighbour's house before fighting against an overconfident Mo.

Sachi: The robot then proceeds to kill him before getting into a final battle with Jill and Shades, who lead it into the bathroom where they turned on the showers, eventually destroying it.

Toomi: That is until the Government decides to manufacture more of them.

Angry Bob: This is Angry Bob! Coming at you loud and clear on WAR radio somewhere on your dial I'm gonna wake you uuuuppppppp!!! We've got some good news this morning from Bare Isle Electronic, the deep hampster department has given them the 'go ahead' to mass produce the new M.A.R.K 13 cyborg! 

Megumi: Fucking dickheads. Well, if those robots ends up eradicating all your asses, you've got yourselves to blame.

Toomi: As a cyborg built for the eradication of mankind, M.A.R.K 13 is built with all sorts of weaponary, ranging from buzzsaws to it's six limbs.

CPU: M.A.R.K 13 is self-repairing, capable of recharging it's storage factories consisting just about any firewood, including the sun. 

Sachi: It even has an infra-sense vision used to hunt down any known targets.

Megumi: It also has tough armour which makes it impenetrable to bullets and also has a self-repair system, enabling it to regenerate from damage.

<Shows M.A.R.K 13 piecing itself together>

M.A.R.K 13

Self-Repairing System

Tough Armour

Infra-Vision

Buzzsaw

Six Limbs

Electricity Absorption

Cytotoxin needles

Just about capable of hunting and killing anybody

Toomi: Even when the M.A.R.K 13 has it's body parts separated and pieced into an art sculpture, the robot is more than capable of piecing itself together, absorbing enough electricity in Jill's apartment as a mean of recharging it's cells for activation

Megumi: That robot also managed to kill Mo and Lincoln during it's rampage and boy it sure is merciless

Feats

Caused a blackout by draining Jill's entire apartment of electricity

Killed both Mo and Lincoln

Killed Alvy by injecting him with Cytotoxin

Survived getting shot, getting hit and even thrown out of the building

Activated itself

Able to repair itself from any kind of blows

It's test run was so successful the Government even approved of mass manufacturing

Toomi: The M.A.R.K 15 although strong is not very intelligient as it was shown to be constantly outsmarted by humans and can even be tricked into walking right into traps.

Megumi: Not to mention, the M.A.R.K 13 cannot seems to detect any of it's targets in cold temperatures.

Weakness

Infra-red senses cannot detect lifeforms under cold temperature

Bullets can still dent it's armour

Weak against humidity

Water can still short circuit it's system

Lost against Jill and Shades

Toomi: And although the robot is mentioned to have tough armour, it has a weakness against humidity and water, with those capable of short circuiting the robot

Sachi: And the fact it is defeated by the very humans it tried so hard to kill

Megumi: But even so, the robot still proved it can be the greatest killing machine of all time. I mean, why else will mankind want to manufacture it?

<Shows the M.A.R.K 13 killing Lincoln>

Terminator terminates What if Battles

<Cue: Take Heart by the Sam Willows>

Toomi: In the distant future, the entire planet is under seige by the machines, all controlled by Skynet.

Megumi: Until a hero named John Connor came along and lead the humans to victory.

Sachi: Knowing about John's existence, Skynet sent a single Terminator back in time to kill John Connor before he was ever born.

Megumi: And with it's mission in place, the T-800 travelled back to the nineties to kill his mother, Sarah Connor. I mean, how hard could it be to kill a kid?

<Shows the Terminator getting crushed>

Megumi: Oh. That hard huh?

Toomi: Regardless, the Terminator has returned several types, reprogrammed to protect John Connor but it always ends up getting destroyed at the end of every film.

Sachi: Until one timeline, a T-1000 killed Sarah Connor's parents when she was little, which prompt him to take her and raise Sarah Connor as if she were his own child.

Megumi: And boy, those two are a pretty sick duo, killing every Terminator sent to that timeline and using their parts to build another time machine.

Toomi: After killing his younger self, the Terminator and Sarah eventually encountered a man named Kyle Reese who is actually John Connor's father who told them to go to the year 2017.

Sachi: With his metallic parts exposes after his fight against a T-1000, the Terminator was forced to wait until 2017, taking a job as a construction worker to study the blueprint of Skynet's factory until Kyle and Sarah made it.

Megumi: The two soon found their child and long story short, the Terminator killed John.

<Shows the Terminator shooting John, only for the video to timelapse to John standing up>

John: Well, that actually hurt.

Megumi: Or not. 

Toomi: Realizing that mankind's last hope is no longer the hero was in that future, Sarah, Kyle and the T-800 were forced to retreat, sneaking into the lab where John is waiting, forcing the Terminator to sacrifice himself which brought Skynet to an end.

Megumi: And if you ask, yes. Pops came back.

Sarah: I thought you were dead.

Pops: No. Just upgraded.

Toomi: Being a cyborg designed for killing, the T-800 is equipped with organic tissue to ensure he can blend in with human society along with a vocabulator which allows him to sometimes alter his own speech pattern or change his voice.

Megumi: The robot's tough but he's never far behind without his weapons. Ranging from an M-27 Phased Plasma Rifle, an AMT hardballer, a Franchi-SPAS-12 shotgun and a Handheld GE M134 Minigun.

Sachi: He's also equipped with face recognition to enable him to hunt down his victim, tough bullet proof armour and just about enough strength to send a full grown man flying with a single punch.

Toomi: The Terminator is so strong he has been able somehow defeat all the superior models, including the near indestructible T-1000, the T-X and the newly built T-3000

Megumi: That motherfucker has also survived even the worst cases of scenario, having survived the pressure of the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and even somehow survive having a massive blast of electricity struck onto him.

Sachi: It's also worth to note that the very amount of electricity used is enough to power an entire hospital. 

Megumi: And considering how much electricity is needed to power all the hospital equipment plus the kitchen vents, the lights and life-supports, damn. That's one tough son of a bitch.

Toomi: Not only that but the Terminator has once moved fast enough to catch a grenade, deduce how much time is left until it detonates, and where to throw it all in a second. 

Feats

Survived massive blows, power shortages, and getting dragged through an entire city

An older model Terminator prevented a school bus from falling with one hand

Survives being hit by a semi truck going 50 miles per hour

Tanks the intense pressure of the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and walks back to the nearest shore

Strong enough to stop a nuclear bunker door from closing with one hand

Was struck with electricity that can power an entire hospital and is still going

Can tank plasmablasts

Fast enough to dodge a car attempting to ram it

Shrugged off running over by a train.

Walks off a free fall from the Empire State Building

Survived being smothered in molten steel

Fast enough to catch a bullet with its mouth point blank

Was struck by lightning and continues to function

Fast enough to catch a grenade, deduce how much time is left until it detonates, and where to throw it all in a second

Destroyed the technically superior T-900s, T-1000, and T-X; with the latter being designed to be an Anti-Terminator.

Took on the T-Infinity, a vastly superior machine

Takes a serious punishment from the stronger T-3000 and remains functional

Sachi: And the Terminator has even destroyed the T-Infinity, a Terminator far stronger than many of it's own.

Megumi: Damn. I really wonder why Skynet even bothered building all those technologically advanced models when the original T-800 has proven to be stronger than many of them.

Toomi: Not exactly true Megumi, the T-800 have one fatal flaw. None of the models are unique, meaning all of them shares the same weaknesses and are easily hackable. I mean Arnold's Terminator has been reprogrammed like 4 times.

Sachi: And plus, while it is built with human features and skin to blend in, animals with acute sense of smell like dogs are capable of detecting their presence.

Megumi: And his behaviour alone also makes him rather suspicious.

Thug: Nice night for a walk eh?!

T-800: Nice night for a walk

Thug: Laundry day tomorrow, nothing clean right?

T-800: Nothing clean.

Weakness

Durability has limits

A dangerous power source (extensive damage may rupture the cell to critical condition)

Vulnerable to hacking (got reprogrammed four times)

Is completely focused only on fulfilling his mission by any means; which can make his actions predictable

His human disguise has flaws.

His skin is not superhuman. Basic bullet wounds and lacerations will expose his mechanical underside. This is why Terminator wore gloves and sunglasses (with bonus cool-factor points).

Has trouble comprehending human social norms; which could make him detectable

Detectable by dogs

Hydraulic presses

Sometimes defeated by humans

Vulnerable to precise attacks from behind

Toomi: And the Terminator's durability also has limits, often times thrown around by enemies of superior strength and his human skin can still be pierced by ordinary bullets 

Sachi: And plus, the Terminator can still die from the pressure of the Hydraulic presser

Megumi: But one thing's for sure, once the Terminator sets his eyes on you, don't bother running because you're already dead.

Terminator: You are Terminated.

Toomi: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Sachi: Don't forget to vote, comment what you think of the fight.

Megumi: Yeah, but right now, it's time for a Death Battle!

Fight

Warehouse

In a tall looming warehouse, everything seems to be quiet.

However, the peaceful tranquility of the night is suddenly interrupted with the sound of an explosion.

KABOOM!!!

Far across the warehouse, a large mass of liquid metal slams onto a deactivated M.A.R.K 13 unit before collapsing onto the floor.

As the liquid metal slowly pools itself into a tall humanoid shape, a large muscular cyborg cladded in a black leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses steps towards the T-1000.

<Cue: Terminator Genisys Main Theme>

The Terminator has arrived!

The T-1000's mouth shifts into a smile as it lunges forward, swinging it's blades arms at the Terminator.

While the pair are locked in battle, unknown to the two, the liquid metal slowly seeps into the M.A.R.K 13 unit.

WHOOM!!!

Upon activation, the M.A.R.K 13's eye suddenly glows brightly, it's head shifting up at the two figures in front of it.

VREEEE!!!

The Terimator grabs onto the struggling T-1000, sprinting across the warehouse before swinging his arm out, chucking the T-1000 over a nearby cliff.

The Terminator watches as the T-1000 disappears into the choppy waters below, getting dragged away by the strong water currents.

Victorious, the Terminator turns around, stepping away from the cliff.

However, right at that moment, the Terminator heard the sound of metal clanking from behind.

CLANK!!!

The Terminator turns around, looking just as the M.A.R.K 13 pushes itself up.

VREEE!!! VREEE!!!

The M.A.R.K 13'S scanner beeps as the robot analyses it's opponent, studying him as the Terminator speaks out.

Terminator: You are not a Terminator and yet you possess the same killer instinct. You will be terminated.

VREEEE!!!

A loud screeching sound emits from the M.A.R.K 13 just as the robot lunges forward, forcing the Terminator to open fire at it.

Annnouncer: Fight!

<Cue: RoboCop vs Terminator rap instrumental by ERB>

BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!

Loud gunshots rings from the Terminator's shotgun as the cyborg opens fire at the oncoming robot.

CLANK!!! CLANK!!! CLANK!!!

Bullets bounces off the M.A.R.K 13's armour just as the robot closes in onto the Terminator swinging it's arm at the Terminator.

WHAM!!!

The Terminator looks back at the M.A.R.K 13, throwing a punch square into the M.A.R.K 13's head.

WHAM!!!

The Terminator swings his shotgun across, only for the tip of the gun to shatter upon collision with the M.A.R.K 13's head.

CRACK!!!

The M.A.R.K 13 turns it's head to face the Terminator, pulling out a buzzsaw from within it's compartment.

ZZZNNNTTTT!!!

The robot swings the buzzsaw across, slashing right into the Terminator's skin.

SLASH!!!

The Terminator pulls out a large minigun, pointing it at the M.A.R.K 13 as he says.

Terminator: Fuck you dickwad!

BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!

The massive barrage of bullets flies across the air, striking into the M.A.R.K 13 repeatly, pushing the robot back.

The M.A.R.K 13 lunges forward, grabbing onto the Terminator.

Grab!

Terminator: Let me go!

The M.A.R.K 13 simply looks at the Terminator, pulling out a syringe before slamming it right into the T-800's flesh

SHOK!!!

The M.A.R.K 13 pushes down onto the syringe, injecting the cytotoxin into the robot.

However, the Terminator simply stares at the M.A.R.K 13, saying to it insultingly.

Terminator: You are not very bright aren't you?

WHAM!!!

The M.A.R.K 13 recoils back just as the Terminator throws out a kick, sending the M.A.R.K 13 staggering back.

The Terminator pulls out a grenade and he throws it at the M.A.R.K 13, backing away just as the robot went off in a massive fiery explosion.

KABOOM!!!

The Terminator then pulls out a shotgun, loading the rifle just as he steps towards the burning robot.

The M.A.R.K 13 shifts it's head up, staring weakly at it's opponent.

The Terminator points the tip of the rifle onto the M.A.R.K 13's forehead and he said to it coldly.

Terminator: Hasta la Vista, baby.

BANG!!!

A loud gunshot rings across the air before the M.A.R.K  13's head drop onto the floor, it's eyes slowly dims.

With his opponent down, the Terminator turns around, stepping towards his motorcycle, leaving the remains of the M.A.R.K 13 burning under the flames.

FWOOSH!!!

KO!

<Cue: New Earth by Bruce Falconer>

Megumi: Gosh. That was the quickest battle we have ever seen.

Toomi: The M.A.R.K 13 may have the advantage is size but the Terminator's speed, power, armour and weaponary has bested it in every category.

Sachi: Indeed. The M.A.R.K 13 may have survived getting shot but it's no doubt it can still be damaged by ordinary weapons whereas the T-800 has taken gunshots without even flinching.

Megumi: Yeah. That motherfucker has also survived a range of explosions, fire, water and even hits from stronger models, things that the M.A.R.K 13 has never achieved.

Toomi: Not only that but the M.A.R.K 13's weapons aren't that impressive at all. While the cytotoxin is deadly on humans, it has no effect on non-living things like robots which pretty much not only rendered it's attacks useless, but automatically gave the Terminator the win.

Megumi: Looks like the M.A.R.K 13's Hardware has just gotten Terminated

Sachi: The winner is the Terminator

Terminator: Hasta la Vista Baby.

Toomi: Hey guys, thank you so much for checking out our battle in What if Battles 2.

Sachi: If you want more content like this, don't forget to add this in your library and comment if you have any idea for a fight.

Megumi: Until then, next time on What if Battles....

Trivia

* The connections between M.A.R.K 13 and the Terminator is that both combatants are killer robots programmed to eradicate all kinds of life, being mass produced and are equipped with all kinds of killing weapons

* The two are also defeated by humans which is ironic considering how they are designed to be a phase for human eradication

* This is the first time a Hardware character fights a Terminator character

* This is the first time a Terminator character wins a What if Battle

* This is the first time a Hardware character loses a What if Battle

* This is the third battle to feature characters from Live Action Films, the first being Emma Swan vs Skye and James Bond vs Jason Bourne

* Since the M.A.R.K 13 has a complete lack of feats, arsenals and weaknesses, this makes this the first battle to have an extremely short analysis

* Coincidently, film critics has once considered Hardware to be a ripoff of Terminator

* This is the third battle to feature robots, the first being Genos vs Seryu and Ultron vs Cyborg Superman

* The part where the M.A.R.K 13 sparked to life was inspired by the original T-800's return from the movie Terminator Genisys
