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.Scorpeneks: Built during the later stages of the Clone War, the Scorpenek Annihilator Droid was armed with duel laser cannons and a particle energy shield. It's nickname? The Platoon Killer; after a single Droid wiped out three whole platoons of Clone Troopers.
Hive Guards: A massive gun-beast, the Hive Guard defends those structures deemed important to the Hive Mind. Mildly telepathic, the Guard sees through the eyes of all Tyranid organisms. So when it fires it's Impaler Cannon, piercing walls, tanks, and bodies to reach its target, it rarely ever misses.
Now the Annihilator and the Gun-Beast will square off. Though miles of land may separate them, that won't stop the carnage. Bolts of energy will tear through bodies almost as quickly as the massive bony spines. Electronic sensors against psychic sight, it's a battle that you won't want to miss! But in the end, only one can walk away; claiming victory for their army. And that decision is up to you, for only you can decide...
WHO! IS! DEADLIEST!
The war has begun... now where do you stand?

The Scorpenek droid can destroy entire platoons of troopers and 6-meters long tanks without a scratch. So the Hive guards stand no chance.

who do you think would win this fight scarecrow

Ah, the Hive Guard; a sniper with a missile launcher. This guy will end up making himself a prime target, as he'll be the one trying to blow up a lot of the CIS's armors and vehicles. These things will also be problematic if they start targeting Heroes, or Aircrafts. However, these things are also big targets, with not much in the way of weaponry outside its Cannon and claws. It also isn't high on the mobility scale, meaning a swift or agile opponent could flank it and take it out.
Now, the Scorpenek Annihilator Droid is not exactly the most mobile thing in the world, however, it's every bit as deadly as the Hive Guard. It's four laser cannons will fire much faster then the Impaler Cannon. These things punch holes in starships, it should have no problem taking out a majority of the Tyranids. Platoon-Killer is a title it has easily earned, and I can see why the Confederacy won the majority of the battles this thing was in. It's shield is strong enough to defend from most Tyranid attacks, a Hive Guard's included. It's even able to defend other CIS units with the size of its shield.
Overall, the Hive Guard is a one trick pony that's really only good at one range. While its psychic sight makes it a good aim, that isn't enough to make it better then the CIS (or even some of its fellow Tyranids), and thus it looses.

The Hive Guard is one of the more advanced Tyranid creatures. When it's not under direct influence of a Synapse Creature its instinct is to hide and fire surprise salvos at unsuspecting charges. Also it never fights alone, almost always surrounded by swarms of smaller creatures from termagants to little rippers. So basically there is no way for an enemy to hide from the Impaler Cannons deadly spikes, who by the way can penetrate the armour of an Imperial Baneblade Battletank, which outclasses the Annihilator's armour by galaxies. The impact of an Implaer Cannon has been described in the Tyranid fluff as akin to artillery shells.

Anti-tank indirect fire spike gun versus particle beams... THICK armor versus a shield of dubious nature...
I think that the Hive Tyrant would have the edge in a large scrap, maybe even in a 1v1.
Even if it's guns don't penetrate the shield, it could just run into the droid and win.

Don't underestimate the Annihilator droid for they are made by the cannibalistic collicoids. Β These droids not only have shields and heavy laser cannons on their side but also sentience and intelligence.
As the standard battleground is naboo, I must say that the annihilator has the advantage because it sounds as though the gun beast is incapable of taking action outside the hive mind. Β And while it may never miss, it does not sound as though it posses enough sense to move out of the way of the droid.

I'll just take a detailed look at your post here...
"Don't underestimate the Annihilator droid for they are made by the cannibalistic collicoids."
Don't underestimate the Hive Guard because it IS a cannibalistic Tyranid.
"These droids not only have shields and heavy laser cannons"
The Hive Guard possesses armor hard enough that Leman Russ Battle Tanks have a hard time getting through, and their weaponry can easily punch holes in the aforementioned tanks.
"but also sentience and intelligence."
So do Tyranids. Your point?
"As the standard battleground is naboo, I must say that the annihilator has the advantage because it sounds as though the gun beast is incapable of taking action outside the hive mind."
The Hive Mind IS the "gun beast" and vice-versa. If it's outside the influence of the Hive Mind, then it's basically dead and this becomes a pointless match.
"And while it may never miss, it does not sound as though it posses enough sense to move out of the way of the droid."
And would makes you think that something with better hand-eye coordination than most human beings would be too stupid to move out of the way of something? More importantly, does it even NEED to move?

you know more about the tyranids then me so i concede to your superior knowledge of their expertise.
Is even anything int the Star Wars Universe that is a match for this gun beast aside from orbital bombardment?

An AT-AT could certainly kill it.
The IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank has a good chance of killing it, as well as the AT-TE to a lesser extent.
I'd say that an AAT would have 50/50 odds of killing it.
π: 0 β©: 2
i think the AAT has a little larger chance since it has a Heavy Laser Cannon (just wanted to say that in SW Laser does not mean like Imperium's Lascannons they are basicly bigger and much much more powerfull blasters) 2 Laser Blasters,2 Antipesonell Blasters and 6 Chain Fed Energized Shell Projectile Launchers
π: 0 β©: 0
But why not an Annihilator droid? Β It has shields, intelligence, sentience, powerful blastercannons and have been known to wipe-out half a dozen AT-TEs before going down. Β Look it up! Β Even an AT-AT would be toppled by that thing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait, so this thing can take six AT-TEs? I thought it was just an artillery piece. Well, in that case it probably wins.
π: 0 β©: 2
Correction. Dozens of heavy units are generally lost trying to take one down. an annihilator has a duel role in that it forces the enemy to commit a large amount of resources to take down one target severely weakening the opposing force in the process. One annihilator took out three platoons and almost wiped out a fourth before the clones retreated. Each battle they were at was a CIS victory due to the massive losses inflicted when trying to take down the one droid.
π: 1 β©: 1
Well, in that case, I'll concede that the Hive Guard loses.
π: 0 β©: 1
personally if it was me I would send something like a trygon. hit it from below or cause it to fall into a tunnel. then a gain it would probably shoot the trygon to pieces in its own tunnel.

Yeah, a lot of these seem pretty mismatched to me. I mean, Biovores vs. Mandalorians? That doesn't make a lot of sense.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah that one is a little mismatched. but this one is kinda better.

Republic commanders always had to commit dozens of heavy units just to bring one down. Β When the war ended, the Emperor too a few of them to guard his vaults.

I have no input on who'll win, but I have to say that this intrigues me. While the armies are fighting up-close and personal, these guys will have to kill their opponents from miles away.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hive guard can't even shoot half a mile
Against a droid that have a energy field the impaler cannon isn't going to cut it since the field will probably protect it against solid projectiles?
Or is one of those fields that allow solid matter trough?

its both a Particle and a Ray meaning it stops everyting

These shields block both DEWs and solid-matter weapons.
