The Gestalt Showdown

The Champ


Ever wonder which Gestalt was the biggest bad-ass? I know I have. I decided to put them to the test, in the most objective way possible; their tech specs. I realize that there are many inconsistencies between the tech specs and the cartoon, but like I said, I believe that I have done this in the most objective way imaginable. So, while you may not agree with the results........enjoy the section anyway!

* Highlighted cells indicate highest power level for that category.*



The above table, graphically illustrates the power level of each of the Gestalts in the 8 different categories supplied on their Tech Specs. Some interesting notes: With the exception of Computron, all of the combiners have Strength power levels of "10". In addition, since many of the power levels of the different Gestalts are so close, it is very difficult to say which Gestalt would win in a "battle royal" type brawl between all of them. Therefore, I have created an algorithm that takes all of the above power levels into consideration except for rank (because rank really wouldn't be any advantage in this type of brawl), and produces one general power level for each Gestalt. These power levels are shown in the table below.




GESTALT
OVERALL POWER LEVEL

As the table illustrates, Superion has the highest overall power rating; Devastator the lowest.It is interesting to note that the three Autobot Gestalts posess the top three power levels. A mitigating factor that could alter the outcome of such a test of power would be terrain.
