@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 Soundwave definitely has a size advantage, but in the world of comics and cartoons, this often doesn't mean much. War Machine's suit gives him the ability to press 200 tons, which is more than enough to toss Soundwave around like a rag doll. The question is, how strong is

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 Soundwave? Can he lift or press 200 tons, more or less? Its not impossible for a very large character to be easily overpowered by a much smaller one in fictional settings (Hulk is WAY bigger than Superman, but he can't lift 66 quintillion tons like big blue).
Another thing that

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 we should consider is weaponry. Soundwave has impressive conventional weapons, such as rocket launchers and machine guns. War Machine, however, has both conventional and far, far more advanced sci fi style weaponry, including several energy weapons. Now, Soundwave can make up

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 for this with the fact that, being so massive, his conventional weapons are HUGE, much larger than rocket launchers and machine guns held by human sized opponents. Still, the energy capability of War Machine should never, ever be underestimated.
Both are capable of flying at

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 super speed, but I have not found anything to show which is faster, thus this is a very irritating unknown.

What isn't an unknown is Soundwave's cassette bots, which could swarm War Machine if he got too close.
What's also not uknown is Soundwave's ability to incorporate

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 nearby machines into his own body.

You know, like a Variable Threat Response Battle Suit...

If War Machine gets into close quarters, Soundwave could grab his suit and make it a part of his own, thus winning the fight in a few seconds...

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 Soundwave, being from an advanced AI alien race, has more knowledge than War Machine, but War Machine, based on my recollections of Decepticons in the old cartoon, would be far more intelligent when it comes to combat. This may be enough to get him the win, and I could

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 potentially see him frying Soundwave from a safe distance with his energy weapons before going in for a close kill (if he even needs to do that at all). This would be logical, since Soundwave is the size of a dinosaur. War Machine may assume that, due to its bigger size,

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 Soundwave may prove to be much stronger, thus a close quarter fight would be a high risk. It would be better to take him out with his energy weapons at a safe distance, not engage in fisticuffs. A somewhat similar line of reasoning was used in the film "GI Jane", when Demi

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 Moore's character, a female Navy Seal, is close to a very huge terrorist (looks to be well over 6 feet high). Her Master Chief tells her that he's a big boy and she should take him from behind.
Now, being a Navy Seal, Demi's character would be far, far better trained at

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 martial arts than that big lug of a dude, and could have very likely taken him from the front but...it would be a very serious risk, with someone that much larger than her. Better to take him from behind.

Likewise, War Machine wont want to risk an initial up close

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 clash with Soundwave. He'll pepper him with his energy weapons until Soundwave has more holes than Swiss Cheese

Thus, I conclude that...

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @JamesGavsie @999RPMs @Sinjun45 @3RShow @Beorntheviking @MediaTekRundown @delvin_cox @getMetal @TheShawnG @WolverSteve @MikeSchmidt09 WAR MACHINE WARHAMMERS SOUNDWAVE!!!!!!

And since I mentioned Warhammer, I have to post this vid.
(it kicks off at 1:20, the song would go well with this @WhoWouldWinShow battle)
