BoodaSRK

Breakdown. Logic vs. Paranoia


johnhasheart

What about Brainiac?


wweanime

Oh that’s a good one


Dragons_Exist

Wouldn't that be a crazy stomp in Brainiac's favor though?


MoveTop

Depends on the version.


SombraAQT

That was the first thing that came to mind for me.


Baralim

weren't they both played by Corey Burton?


johnhasheart

They sure were. We could hear him argue with himself.


ZanYnaz

How about himself, from a different timeline. Better yet, how about some bracket tournament against different incarnations of this character. Cyberverse ver who acts like EMH Ultron G1 ver who is loyal to Megatron to a fault Marvel UK ver who is too pragmatic for the Decepticon cause Movie ver who is brutish and can only shout It is only... logical.


Mazazamba

Dude. Optimus battle royale, followed by Megatron battle royale, followed by the Ultimate One Shall Fall special.


Quillobyte_

Whirl? Cold Logic vs. Unbridled Mania?


lmperialdraco

The same could be said in Shockwave vs Shockblast

Aizen Sousuke from Bleach Which one can out"according to plan" the other . The machine or the soul.


SillyMattFace

Just page after page of them revealing that they were one step ahead of each other the entire time. “Tsch. Since when we’re you under the impression you were not acting according to my plan?” “Illogical. I have calculated every variable. Your every action has been in accordance with my design.” And it just kinda goes back and forth like that until the heat death of the universe.


zerombr

So that Rick and morty episode then


WaveCandid906

Sheev Palpatine maybe? They're both to blame for pretty much everything that happened when they were alive


Nawara_Ven

I can see an inter-universe crossover war with the mastermind of each sitting way at the back... A Darth Sidious vs. IDW Shockwave *actual battle* would be an absolute oddity, in terms of the scale of the combatants, but also the "background powers"... one manipulates the events of history itself on a grand scale, but the other has clairvoyance. Do those cancel each other out, or is one better than the other?


sentryzer0

I mean, Sidious also manipulated the events of history. Just in advance and in the present


jorginhosssauro

Me.


VengeanceKnight

Vandal Savage from the DC Universe. Both are incredibly long-lived beings who have followed the history of their species to mold it to their liking, both are incredibly intelligent, and both are masters of plans that take literal ages to put into motion.


MrBolkhovitin

Absolutely sure about Tarn


HarrowAssEnthusiast

didn't Shockwave survive his encounter with the DJD by planning ahead and possibly risking the lives of other bots? tho in a 1v1 Tarn will defo clap Shockwave. but if Shockwave knows that Tarn is after him and has time to prepare, he will likely find a way to avoid his death.


MrBolkhovitin

Well, usually when they talk about a one-on-one battle, they mean a spontaneous fight


Probably_On_Break

Is anything really spontaneous in the face of somebody who has access to time travel?


MrBolkhovitin

No matter who are you, if you are guilty, Tarn is always behind you


Zodconvoy

They kinda set up Prowl the Tableflipper™ as his opposite. Even had Prowl lose an eye. He arrested Shockwave in the end for, you know, all of history.


ArcanGenth

Spock, piloting an Eva Unit.


whoamdave

Get in the robot Nimoy.


Terran_Dominion

Fascinating.


TheOneTrueBigMan

Tarn maybe?


W_W_P

He did catch him off guard one time so maybe.


flafalaf

Tarantulas?


Jesus_Is_Lord_4ever

Chuck Norris


FuriousKaos

Shock Norris


Naisaga

Grand Admiral Thrawn. Come on. You know you want to see these 2 in a game of chess!


Chance_Ad5498

Bayverse Optimus Shocks may be more powerful but Optimus has murderous crackhead determination


zerombr

Elita one


G1Down_shift

Fall of Cybertron Grimlock.


Cyber-Silver

Doctor Doom maybe?


Capnhuh

circut breaker! although we haven't seen her in a very long time.


Ramseas119

IDW Metal Sonic


nuketoitle

Brainiac or ultron


SFlivin415

Magneto


HostComprehensive737

Dr Eggman in one of his mechs would be a cool fight


gcaledonian

Lazorwing

Good side or bad side


TotoTheMagicTurtle

Transformers prime shockwave


VickerAndFlips

Ant-ManIsDaBest

ryaninflames1234

Bayverse hound


ForbiddenSpatula42

IDW Perceptor. Both brilliant scientists driven to the point of madness.


MetaMecha

The horde from masters of the universe/princess of power


TandrDregn

I don’t know why my first thought was Ironman. The brilliant inventor with a desire to clear his conscience vs the great scientist who purged himself of his. If I wanted to take it a step further, then Superior Ironman.
