When I was 5, the Transformers was one of my favorite cartoons in the action category, up there with G.I. Joe<\/a>, Voltron, He-Man<\/a> (remember, I was only 5), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/a> (spot the double entrendre here<\/a>), Thundercats<\/a>, Inspector Gadget<\/a>, Jonny Quest<\/a>, Silverhawks<\/a>, and Robotech<\/a>. I remember thinking breifly about who would win in an all out battle- GoBots or Transformers (It didn’t take long to reach a definitive conclusion). If you happen to be curious, the answer to this question is exhaustively covered here<\/a>.
\nHowever, Who would win this fight?:
\nThe Constructicons<\/a> (in Devastator form) vs. (Lion) Voltron<\/a>.
\nMy vote goes to Voltron, who would first fight the individual Constructicons broken down into 5 lions. A ferocious battle between the two teams would ensue, with the Constructicons slightly getting the upper hand. Outnumbered, the lions would come together to form Voltron, a move shadowed by The Constructicons. The Constructicons would get in a few good bitchslaps (while talking major trash to the seemingly mute Voltron- of course the pilots would be shouting encouragement, spitting out profanities, and grunting whenever they were dealt a telling blow) and maybe a couple of kicks to the groin before Voltron got pissed enough to clank his clenched fists together. Once Voltron unleashed his mighty longsword (at the apogee of a spectacular leap, of course!) he would streak down with tremendous speed and cut Devastator clear in half (who would be screaming “NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”), resulting in an explosion of stupendous proportions. However, I believe that the Constructicons would win if they had help from Megatron.
\nAnd just for the record, I don’t give a damn what happened in the movie<\/a> (King Kong won in BOTH the Japanese and American versions of the film) or that their incarnations were equally matched in Rampage<\/a> (they made Godzilla a bitch in this game if I remember correctly). It isn’t even a question: Godzilla<\/a> (destroyer<\/b> of skyscrapers. special powers: invincibility, atomic breath, tail doubling as a bludgeon, super strength) would f*cking kill King Kong<\/a> (climber<\/b> of skyscrapers. special powers: super strength). Period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
