Description
And now we take a closer look at one of the battles sure to be taking place in the Planetary Conquest war of the Tyranids and the CIS.B2 Battle Droids: The B2 super battle droid was an upgraded version of the B1 battle droid, with superior armament and armor. Unlike their predecessor, these Droids could take far more damage while they mowed down organics at the whim of their masters.
Termagants: Termagants are fast, agile and cunning Tyranid creatures of the Gaunt genus, and serve as the backbone of the Tyranid invasion force. They pepper the field with cover fire for other Tyranids using their nightmarish Fleshborer.
Now these two, armed with powerful armaments of death will open fire on each other in a battle to the finish. Ravenous beetles and bolts of energy will fly over the land, chewing and burning until only one is left standing. I don't know who that will be, but you might, as only you can decide...
WHO! IS! DEADLIEST!
The war has begun... now where do you stand?

Dang then that complicates things

I think the B3 Ultradroide would be a bit to OP.

In a universe where overkill guarantees victory I think not

No joke,the B3 Ultradroide is the AK-47 under the batteldroids.One of them was in one battel blowd up with a rocker,blindet,sliced with a loghtsaber,attackt with the force and then was finaly destroyd with the head of a rocketfire droide.And it fight with mace windu and another jedimaster.This thing is tuff.

Well it is the final battle droid type and was built with the idea of countering Jedi in mind. Of course it has a design flaw

But that would be one hell of a fight!

While B2 Battledoids are awesome (they kill dozens of Jedi while Stormtroopers can barely kill 1 Han Solo on the Death Star). But not only would Terms outnumber B2s in a conventional fight but they have way better arms and armor.
B2 droids shoot lasers that are designed to kill human like targets. Terms guns can blast through several inches of Space Marine armor. The B2s would have to spam their rocket launchers like crazy.
B2s have good armor but not nearly as much as a Space Marine who Terms kill frequently enough. Plus a B2's legs are unarmored and weak. Meanwhile Terms can fairly easily absorb normal Imperial trooper lasers (equivalent to B2 laser) and multiple Space Marine gun shots which are basically mini rocket launchers.

Ha! if say 100v100, tyannid termagaunts would win, why? Β because they have better close combat capabilities, and better weapons, yes they are less accurate, but this is no worry as once hit by their weapon, you will not live due to it once peircing skin/armour the bullet will come alive and start tearing out the insides, but i believe the tyrannids would take high loses

Take note of the B2s being insta-killed by the Clones' Blaster Rifles at 7:21.
π: 0 β©: 2
its a movie....
the B2 can take a significant amount of blaster fire before going down
B2s have win wrist Blasters in each arm or the ycan be fitted wit ha rocket launcher,mortar,repeater blaster,graple claws for melle etc.
they can be fitted with jet packs as well
in melle they can be deadly just with their bare hands and like all other droids they have no fear or feelings

Um, how is the fact that it's from a movie relevant to anything? In fact, the movies are the highest form of canon. George Lucas himself doesn't even care about the expanded universe. So, if the movies have B2s getting insta-killed by blasters, we're to assume that they'll be insta-killed by blasters.
Hmmm. Well, I'm aware of the rocket launcher thing, but that was only in, what, one video game? In the movies, and the TV shows, and even in most of the games, they just use their standard wrist blasters, which really aren't that impressive compared to lasguns.
As for melee, one novel had a Termagant tearing through a solid steel wall several metres thick without issue, so I don't like the droids' chances if they get in close.

He HAS stuff from the EU.

also the droids can easily whitstand light blaster shots but if its a normall or max powered shot it can only take about 2 or 3 max depending on where they are hit
the important thing is that the nid bio weapons are somewhat less effective vs metal
π: 0 β©: 0
the wrist blasters are still very powerfull, fairly accurate and have a high rate of fire
i can imagine a B2 just fireing its blasters in a wide area killing dozens of gaunts by itsself
well its not hard at all to retrfit the droid with other weaponry like the locket launcher arm
P.S. what is the novel?
π: 0 β©: 0
clone rifles at full power can hit at upwards of 10k away and are known to pierce most infantry armors. even heavy infantry armors.
π: 0 β©: 3
someone in Heavy armour can whitstand a few Light Blaster Cannon so it would still be effective but it wont one shot him
π: 0 β©: 1
you have a point there but also considering at that power level the guns also have a range of 10k...........yeah....
π: 0 β©: 1
Probably doesnt really cover how deep you are in it does it lol
π: 0 β©: 0
they can also punch a 0.5m hole in Ferroconcrete which is used to make reinforced bunkers (in 40K too)
π: 0 β©: 1
so they have bunker busting rifles lol?
π: 0 β©: 1
actually that is just the Standard Issiue imagine if you were to customize it with other stuff.....
π: 0 β©: 1
Ooh ooh ooh can I add a 20x sniper scope and make it so the bolts are standard armor piercing?
π: 0 β©: 1
well im not sure there is such a thing as armour piercing energy bolts : P but if you add a bigger barrel you can make it be times more powerfull
me? if i want a sniper i customize a Verpine Shatter gun with a large barrel and a large scope
it by itsself it extremely accurate and almost completely silent not to mention that you can use rocks for ammo and still penetrate tank armour (and this is the standard pistol sized Verpine gun!!!)
π: 0 β©: 1
i would go with a sniper rifle one....now imagine that kind of gun............not just the pistol but the full scale sniperΒ verpine...
π: 0 β©: 1
you would be able to punch through Terminator armour from Kilometres away

I can hear/see the bodies now..................Is it bad that it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling?

Well, the same could be said of the Termagants' bio-weapons. The 'gaunts have access to a wide variety of deadly, armor-piercing weaponry such as the Fleshborer, as well as the Spike Rifle, the Strangleweb, the Spinefist and the Devourer.
And those clone rifles didn't just kill the B2s, they knocked them flat on the ground and left an enormous, gaping hole in them. Even if we assume that the gaunts' weapons only have half of that kind of punch, they're still going to incapacitate the droids.
π: 0 β©: 1
to answer the question about the droids then yes. those were probably getting hit with full power rounds. also what is the specific range on most nid weapons? isn't it rather close?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it depends on a lot of things. The description is rather vague, as it doesn't give us a lot of details about where the fight takes place or how far apart the droids and the 'nids start from each other. I COULD actually see the B2s winning if they start from a distant and the battle takes place on a flat terrain, but 'nids - termagants in particular - are extremely fond of using cover, so if they have that going for them then I could easily see this swinging in their favor.
Now, it's been a while since I watched the prequels, so what sort of range can the B2s get with their wrist blasters? They'd normally engage quite close with clones from what I remember. Also, can they aim reasonably well? Because termagants are very agile.
π: 0 β©: 2
well the cover wont do much because the blasters would just destroy it after a few shots so you cant have that as much of an advantage
π: 0 β©: 0
aim? reasonably well. they shoot at gunships that are flying away at top speed and hit them reasonably. as for cover its gonna get blasted apart due to the b2 being able to carry wrist mounted rockets, swap out an arm for a missile launcher, and so on. and actually getting close to an SBD/B2 is bad. they pack a lot of strength into those limbs.

so who do you think would win this fight scarecrow

Now, while the B2 is more aggressive, he's not exactly mobile, and may have trouble dodging the Termagants shots. Said Tyranid has a much wider arsenal then either the B2 or his Gnat cousin. Now, concerning the Fleshborer on Droids, obviously they don't feel pain like an organic would, however having a beetle chewing through circuitry will prove problematic. On the off chance these two get close to each other, the Termagant's claws may be able to do some damage; while the B2 is too clumsy.
However, both have variations! The B2s laser cannons would blow a Termagant about in a second, as would the wrist rocket. The Spinefist the Termagant uses could pierce the B2s armor. The Spike Rifle has some added distance to it, but unless the spike hits a very vital spot on the B2, it may just make it mad. I'm not sure how the Devourer would work on a target without a traditional brain, but I imagine that the B2 could probably still fight for a few moments before the burrowing disrupted to many systems and it shut down. The Strangleweb is good for binding a target, and I'm sure given enough time the acid could eat through the B2s armor, but it has a limited range of use.
On a side note, the B2 has no problem firing on allies. While I don't think Tyranids care that much about comrades, the Termagant does seem to be more set in its role to provide cover fire; and is less likely to fire on a fellow Tyranid. Β
I think of the two of them, with them firing at each others army; I'd go with the Termagant. It has a wider range of weapons it may bring into battle, and its weapons can pierce Droid armor, and it is more maneuverable on the field.

Honestly... the B2s take this one. Qualitatively, heavier armor, automatic weaponry, and at least half-competent, the B2s would bull through the Hormoguants.
However, Hormogaunts are one of the 'Nids basic warrior strains, and so would outnumber the droids by a ridiculous margin.
Technically, these units play different roles in their armies, and so aren't quite comparable.

we are talking about Termagaunts not Hormagaunts

Considering that the B2s actually proved themselves a formidable opponent against biological weaponry during the Battle of Mantessa against Yuuzhan Vong Firebreathers, I'd say they got this one.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't think it would be quite so simple as that, given that Termagants are a lot harder to hit than big targets like Firebreathers and they're probably more accurate with their weapons.

If not supported by synapse the termagaunts will start eating eachother and digging themselfs into the ground so not even a problem for the battldroids.
If they get supported by synapse creatures I think the battledroids have the upperhand 1 on 1 but if you are fighting Tyranids you will fight them at least 1000 on 1

I think the droids got this one. Super Battle Droids were made to withstand more than a standard one. And gaunts have flesh eating weapons, not enough to do much damage to a heavily armored droid.
π: 0 β©: 1
True, but I was under the impression that some of the things they shot could burrow through armor.
π: 0 β©: 1
They can, but they need to get really close to do it, the droids have more range and missile attachments. And with no synapse link with the gaunts they'll run around like idiots before they kill anything.
