@WhoWouldWin13 Talos was a giant bronze android of Greek Myth. In some versions, he is the last of the Men of Bronze, a race of giants who went extinct due to excess warfare. In most, however, he is built by Hephaestus, animated not through divine magic, but through, for all intents and
@WhoWouldWin13 purposes, advanced technology. He's a monster straight out of ancient science fiction. His massive body is made of bronze, and within it is a tube filled with Ichor, a liquid of the gods which serves as its blood. It not only has a huge sword, its capable of lifting ships and
@WhoWouldWin13 even massive boulders, using the latter as weapons. It could also grab opponents in a bear hug and then heat its body, until its enemy or enemies were fried. He went around Crete 3 times a day to patrol it, which indicates both a long stride and perhaps super speed (in some
@WhoWouldWin13 depictions he was shown to have wings, which might have been symbolic for super speed). The Witch Media enchants him, and when his ankle hits a sharp rocks, the ichor flows out. Bleeding to death, he collapses. I cannot find anything right not to see how tall Talos was in the
@WhoWouldWin13 myths (one fandom site said 8 feet, but that's bull). However, considering that men of the age of Heroes (the age between that of the Men of Bronze and the modern men of iron) were thought to be giants, about 15 feet tall on average...then we would have to conclude that Talos,
@WhoWouldWin13 considered a giant in his day, must have been HUGE. Indeed, in the classic film "Jason and the Argonauts", he was about 70 meters or 229 feet tall (maybe larger)
@WhoWouldWin13 The HK tank is nowhere near as large as Talos, but it may match him in intelligence, being a combat robot. Its also armed with plasma cannons which could potentially bust through Talos' bronze hide, hitting a "vein" or "Artery". Though his bronze his is called "unbreakable", it
@WhoWouldWin13 nevertheless had a thin membrane on its ankle that was vulnerable, and Appollonius, the man who wrote the Argonautica, may have been using hyperbole in describing Talos' bronze body. Thus, if Talos draws near, the HK tank might bleed it out if it strikes the ankle. However, it
@WhoWouldWin13 wont know Talos' weak spot, having never encountered him before. Still, it could potentially bleed Talos if its plasma blasts can penetrate its bronze "flesh" (Though how long the firing range of an HK tank's energy blasts is unknown). However, Talos most likely wont fight the HK
@WhoWouldWin13 in close quarter combat, instead throwing massive boulders at it just like it would any invader of Crete. He did just this to prevent the Argonauts from attaching their cables when they reached Dikte Harbor. It threw several more, but failed to hit the Argo as it was rowed back.
@WhoWouldWin13 Its difficult to tell if Talos was a bad shot, having no information on how far away he was when he threw the boulders (and how effective his sight was. Though it must have been impressive, there is not enough data to show exactly how good his sight was). Its impossible to
@WhoWouldWin13 tell for sure which will see the other first and thus have first strike capability, it must be noted that Talos, being able to move around Crete three times a day, must have been very fast, and with his far seeing abilities and great height, it stands to reason that he would
@WhoWouldWin13 spot the HK Tank first, and thus get a boulder shot off. However, he would have to draw closer in order to get a good shot, which would bring him potentially within firing range of the HK's guns. However, seeing these unusual plasma blasts coming his way, Talos might choose to
@WhoWouldWin13 outflank the HK tank's guns and then attack it from the sides, throwing massive boulders until one crushes it. He certainly has the speed for it, while the HK Tank moves at a snail's pace.

Thus, I conclude...
@WhoWouldWin13 TALOS STEPS ON HK TANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
