MacGyver

V'S

B. A. Baracus

deise go deo · 12-03-2012 12:06am

Has to be MacGyver for me, B. A.'s talent is Intimadating others and hand to hand fighting, neither of which is going to be much use against a Zombie horde, MacGyver on the other hand can make anything out of anything, a usefull skill if Anti Z weapons or a safe house are needed.

Or if you need a helicopter and all that is available is a matchbox and an elasticband:pac:

MacGyver FTW

ScumLord · 12-03-2012 12:46am

MacGyver. While BA has plenty of practical mechanical skills MacGyvers overall engineering prowess would mean your not loosing out.

Agent J · 12-03-2012 1:13am

Originally i was going to say "McGyver" would win hands down.

However, he never uses guns. Ever. He usually wins fight by not fighting. Evasion is an important skill aganist zombies but if they break down the door & are lunging at your with your back to wall.. Is the elastic band & paperclip going to be much use?

BA,

Well he is a member of the A-Team which means he can fire a gun. However accurary might be an issue. He is mechanic so getting vechiles working would be important. His feroricty & strength would be an advantage

In a straight up once off fight i think i'd want BA covering my back. Longer term probably want someone more versatile like McGuvyer.. however there is only so long "Run and Hide" will keep you alive.

My vote for BA

My vote for BA

This +1

ChaseThisLight · 12-03-2012 3:12am

MacGuyver. Brains over brawn.

Kash · 12-03-2012 9:15am

MacGuyver

Love BA, and think his mechanical skills would definitely be a major asset in the initial flee the scene. But, I'd be afraid that his gold bling would be far too easy for the Zs to grab, and he'd eventually be overwhelmed - probably whilst still holding the keys to his "Nobody drives it but me" van.

Whereas MacGuyver might not be as useful in a hand to hand encounter, I'd have a lot of faith in him keeping us out of one, and when we eventually stop running - his innovation will make sure we have the best possible defenses, not to mention power/water etc.

And, to really tip the balance in his favour: he's just so upbeat. I'd hate to be stuck in a zombie apocalypse with a moody, grumpy sonofabitch like BA for company

EDDIE WATERS · 12-03-2012 9:19am

Ba would win

batm!ke · 12-03-2012 10:33am

MacGyver, his skills would be invaluable.

BA's brawn is all well and good but if we're constantly on the run evading shufflers/walkers MacGyvers skills set gets my vote.

So +1 for MacGyver

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 11:42am

5-3 to MacGyver. One more for the win.

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 12:41pm

Two strong contenders and I'd be happy if either one had my back. I feel BA is at an disadvantage though, he is part of a team and lacks certain qualities of his own. I'm not too sure how well he could handle his temper. It would be a time for cool heads and evasion.

MacGyver has so much more to offer so gets my vote.

MacGyver wins 6-3.

Battle 2 to begin shortly.

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 12:50pm

Round 1 Battle 2

Marty Mcfly

V's

Lara Croft

%2528110509190557%2529lara_croft_tomb_raider_3_113443.jpg

degrassinoel · 12-03-2012 12:58pm

having access to a time machine in the shape of a DeLorean would mean that McFly could take out Croft before she was even born, that is, unless biff tannen interferes somehow..

blaze1 · 12-03-2012 1:30pm

Marty McFly only if he has a spare hooverboard.

Think they would be a great mode of transport for skirmishes, light, can carry it around in a backpack. Plus the deloren time machine so you could just go back in time and warn people, 2nd thoughts they throw you in a loony bin get bigger guns more supplies and be better prepared for Z Day

ScumLord · 12-03-2012 1:54pm

Lara, not only does she have the marksman skills necessary to survive but I'd assume she's good at cooking spuds and keeping the fortified home nice and tidy.

Carsinian Thau · 12-03-2012 1:57pm

Voting for Lara Croft for this one.

Marty McFly's temporal abilities definitely have their uses but only for getting out of harm's way. Admittedly, while survival does constitute victory when you're battling the Zeds, he's still just very complexly running away. Which is exactly his downfall; the complexity. If anything goes wrong (even something as simple as could he get to the right speed with a bunch of Zeds in his way?) he's a sitting duck. In what is pretty much just a car in terms of protection. He'd be food.

Croft, on the other hand, is an experienced survivalist with both great access to and great training in various forms of ballistic weaponry, who lives in a strongly fortified mansion. No matter where she finds herself, her chances of being zombie chew are relatively low and definitely give her the better odds of surviving longer than Marty.

Mitch Buchannon · 12-03-2012 1:59pm

McFly... With knowledge of when/how the zombie outbreak occurred we could travel back in time and prevent it from happening. Failing that we could go back in time and prepare a super fortress si we could sit back and watch the carnage unfold !

ASOT · 12-03-2012 2:01pm

Lara, we need to re populate .....

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 2:02pm

A close run battle.

3-3

The only problem with Marty would be he's only a driver and doesn't understand how time travel actually works. If anything goes wrong with the time machine he won't be able to fix it and will have to wait around for Doc to rescue him. Overall he has displayed very little in the way of survival skills and depends on luck to get him through, he's always been a fish out of water in every film bar maybe the 3rd one where he showed some marksman skills.

FlyingIrishMan · 12-03-2012 2:06pm

I'll say McFly.
That time machine would be a huge asset, could travel back to stop it, could just keep travelling back to safely get new supplies.
Could even travel 20years into the future and see if the whole thing has been cured yet.

ChaseThisLight · 12-03-2012 2:13pm

Lara Croft. She's got the skills, and access to equipment that would be needed, weapons, etc.

McFly has no fighting skills at all, and just looks like zombie food.

allanb49 · 12-03-2012 2:17pm

Hmm Lara has got the survival skills,

Would there be a ready supply of plutonium? or has Mr Fusion been fitted yet?

Remember the delorean also needs petrol to go, so after a while that would become very rare,

I'll go with Lara,

She's fought dinos and survived think some zombies would be easy enough for her

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 2:37pm

5 - 4 to Croft.

It's anybodies game.

Armin_Tamzarian · 12-03-2012 2:55pm

Clearly has to be Croft.
Asides from her obvious fighting and jumping around skills she has the added bonus of some epic norks.
Could just flash them at male Zombies to distract them.

FFS, the boy McFly could barely outsmart that knucklehead Tannen.
Apart from that he'd probably let the Zombies take the upper hand while he was distracted chatting up his Mother or something.
The only thing he really has going for him is that car and we all know how bad a build the auld DeLoreans are, would definitely let him down.

Has to be Croft.

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 2:59pm

Croft takes it 6-4

Next battle up shortly.

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 3:03pm

Round 1 Battle 3

Capt James T Kirk

V's

Mad Max

Doctor DooM · 12-03-2012 3:18pm

Max, I don't think Kirk would be used to the very limited resources the post zombie world would have.

ChaseThisLight · 12-03-2012 3:23pm

Definitely Max. He's a badass. When I think of Kirk being faced with zeds, I see him asking to be beamed up, while Max would wade in and start killing.

ScumLord · 12-03-2012 3:34pm

I'm going to go with Kirk. First off he's from an advanced species, the training that a person would have to go through to be able to survive in space would undoubtedly cover survival in hostile environments. Being in space would mean he's certainly come across situations where being frugal with limited resources has been essential.

He would also have had extensive experience with strange creatures. This would reduce the fear factor and mean he has the necessary problem solving skills.

Overall even though Kirk would come off as a mans man, he would in actual fact be a very fit scientist, something along the lines of modern day astronauts who are not only the fittest but the brightest the human race has to offer.

Kash · 12-03-2012 6:44pm

Max

Whereas I agree with Scumlord that Captain Kirk has enough experience with alien creatures to be unfazed (ba dum tish) by the Zeds, he also has a the tendency to try and bone said alien species at any given moment. I'm not sure I could trust him to keep his head, He'd be no good to me if he gets caught with his pants down.

Max just keeps getting better and better - and despite his gruff exterior, is a pretty helpful kind of guy, as long as you don't get on his bad side.

Daisy M · 12-03-2012 6:49pm

This is actually a tough one, both would be serious competetors but I will go for Max as he wouldnt get distracted by the girls like Kirk would.

ASOT · 12-03-2012 7:04pm

Id like to go with max only because i never liked star trek

5-1

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 7:14pm

I'm going to have to go with Kirk. the guy has smarts and isn't afraid of a bust up. the new world will need a man with his leadership and tech skills.

degrassinoel · 12-03-2012 7:23pm

Definetly Kirk, much as i love the mad max character i just dont think he's got what it takes to face down Kirk, he got his ass handed to him by tina turner.. remember?

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 7:39pm

Kirk making a come back. Can he warp ahead?

Max needs one more to proceed.

5-3 to Mad Max

mawk · 12-03-2012 9:48pm

Max ftw.

hes got so much hands on experience that kirk just cannot have gleaned from a few weeks training in starfleet.

Max knows what its like to scrounge for resources to survive

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 9:54pm

Max takes it 6-3.

Next battle up shortly.

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 9:59pm

Round 1 Battle 4

Han Solo

V's

Bear Grylls

allanb49 · 12-03-2012 10:09pm

From a survival point of view Bear would be the one to have, he can survive in the wilderness and is a real life character not fictional

*some exageration in the show

Solo, unless chewie was with him he's just a guy who has shown no other skills other than leadership which granted is handy, being fast with a blaster and being able to do the kessel run in a few parsecs.

mawk · 12-03-2012 10:24pm

solo seems the type to do something dumb, even if he is a cool guy.

bear.

ChaseThisLight · 12-03-2012 10:35pm

So torn...I mean, it's Han Solo! He's got cool laser guns! But I re-watched the entire Star Wars saga recently and yeah, he is a good leader, and he can fly, sure, but he's a crap mechanic and seemed kinda clumsy at times, and he's more daring than anything and he's always in trouble.

And Bear...well, he drinks his own pee. :eek: But he knows his stuff as far as survival goes. So I gotta go with Bear.

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 10:35pm

While Bear might come in handy for hiding in a forest or jungle I don't think he has as many skills as Han.

Han is an experienced smuggler, fighter and trader. Skills that will come in as essential when the new world order after zed day emerges. His aggression and trading skills will come in handy in the aftermath of Z day. This guy was born for this world.

Han gets my vote.

cyberwolf77 · 12-03-2012 10:48pm

I giving my vote to the piss-drinking survival expert. He can ensure my survival after I kill the zombies

Daisy M · 12-03-2012 11:17pm

Its got to be bear, he would probably find a use for all the Zombie corpses to make life easier.

Micky Dolenz · 12-03-2012 11:20pm

5-1 to Bear.

deise go deo · 13-03-2012 12:38am

This is about who I want with me after the Zombie Appocolyps, while Bear has many usefull skills, there is a very high likelyhood that any stint in his company will involve piss drinking.

Solo FTW

ASOT · 13-03-2012 2:47am

Sure il win it for bear.

Zombie apocalypse ? brb drinking urine for no apparent reason.

phill106 · 13-03-2012 7:16am

Has to be solo. If bear somehow killed a zombie, he would eat the bloody thing washing it down with some nice warm zimbie piss. In fact, he probably caused the outbreak by doing so.

blaze1 · 13-03-2012 8:37am

I'd go with Han.

Bear would be great dont get me wrong, what do you think he'd to when supplies start getting low, and unless your fit enough to keep up with him and willing to hold his sea water enema he's going to look at you as bear food.
