R2-D2 vs Dalek

**R2-D2 vs Dalek** is the first battle that GalactaK has created on this wiki. It is going to be analysed. This is going to be done in the style of Death Battle, but with less humour and more just getting right down to it.

## Description

*Star Wars vs Doctor Who! When you're the most popular trash cans in fiction, you've gotta be powerful to stay floating atop the crowd. But which is better? The astromech droid or the Mark 3 Travel Machine?*

## Intro

GalactaK: **Science Fiction is** **probably one of the newest types of film genre and they have included so many aliens, robots, warlords and heroes that it's really hard to keep track.**

Elysia: *One thing I have to ask though. In the most popular sci-fi franchises, there's always A character shaped like a bin. Why is that?*

GalactaK: **Don't ask me. Well, we're having them fight today. R2-D2, Star Wars' famously faithful yet gutsy astromech droid.**

Elysia: *And Doctor Who's warlike race known as the Daleks.*

GlactaK: **Who will win? Who will be a pile of scrap on the floor? Who is the superior fighter?**

## R2-D2 Analysis.

### Short Biography

GalactaK: **Naboo was being invaded by the Trade Federation. In an attempt to flee her homeland, Queen Padme Amidala decided to evacuate on her starship. But bad luck hit. The vessel took a hit to the shield generator from a Trade Federation Battleship. So, to repair the damage, the passengers and crew sent out their best defence: astromech droids.**

Elysia: *During the process of repairing the ship though, several of them were shot off and destroyed. However, one droid survived and repaired the ship, allowing it to go into hyperspace. This droid's number was R2-D2.*

### Powers, abilities and equipment

GalactaK: **Artoo is a surprisingly intelligent machine. While he can't speak basic...**

Elysia: *What's basic?*

GalactaK: **The Star Wars version of English. ANYWAY, while he can't speak basic, he can understand it. He can quickly read entire networks due to having some pretty sophisticated computer access equipment, move on any terrain so long as it's basically horizontal and has several methods of fighting or escaping a battlefield.**

Elysia: *He has a small buzzsaw, a hidden lightsabre compartment and an ejector for any Jedi's sticky situation, a periscope, which proved handy when submerged in Dagobah... Oh, did I mention he's waterproof?*

GalactaK: **With the electro-shock prod, he can shock any hostiles. With the rocket boosters, he can fly in the air to get onto higher terrain. And he also has a few other functions too. However, they can't exactly help him out in the heat of a battle.**

### Feats

Elysia: *Artoo's pretty tough. He's taken a point-blank shot from a TIE Fighter and was still intact afterwards, defeated 3 super battle droids single-handedly and can turn advanced plans into chaos.*

GalactaK: **He's hacked into the intricate mechanisms of the Death Star, which is quite enviable, considering that the most any human's managed is just shooting a commlink. Also, if we look again at the point-blank shot from a TIE Fighter, that shot was enough to destroy a Jedi Cruiser!**

### Faults

Elysia: *Despite this achievement, he's been taken down with electric shocks from a Jawa gun, so the validity of whether he can normally do this isn't clear.*

GalactaK: **Also, the astromech droids atop the ship were destroyed by guess what? Blaster fire. Plus, like a human, whenever he uses his periscope, he can't see anything else. If he could then he probably wouldn't have been eaten. And Elysia, Artoo isn't waterproof. In the Empire strikes back, he is seen crackling with electricity after leaving the water and getting mud out of his systems.**

Elysia: *Either way, Artoo is still quite the saviour of the Star Wars universe.*

\*R2-D2 defeats R3-S6\*

## Dalek analysis

### Short Biography

GalactaK: **Many, many millennia ago, on the planet Skaro, two species were fighting for survival. They were the Kaleds and the Thals. The Kaleds were losing, and eventually lost, but it came at a benefit. They had mutated over the course of the war, and one brainy non-mutated Kaled scientist had an idea as to how to keep his race going.**

Elysia: *Corpses were taken for experiments, and eventually, Davros found a way to make the Kaleds the perfect killing machine. He put them in metal armour, removed their emotions other than hate, switched the front and end letters of the species' name around and created... a Dalek.*

GalactaK: **Actually Elysia, Dalek is how you pronounce the Kaled word for god.**

### Powers, abilities and equipment

Elysia: *Daleks are usually equipped with a Telescopic Manipulator Arm and a Death Ray.*

GalactaK: **What she means is a plunger and a laser gun. Anyway, what can they do?**

Elysia: *Well, the Manipulator Arm can extend to twice its normal length and crush a skull, something which takes 235 kg of force to achieve. Additionally, it can track brain waves and can desecrate a human head if enough of them are used. The Death Ray destroys every cell in the human body, and can kill a cyberman, which can convert or possibly even destroy, one Earth city. There are also flamethrower and claw versions of this weapon and it can break through so many materials it's untrue, like glass and steel.*

GalactaK: **Daleks are also equipped with an eyestalk, which allows the mutant inside to see what's going on. It also has a motion power systems which allows the Daleks to move across almost any surface with no difficulty and fly. While it's generally described as hovering, they have been seen in the TV story The Witch's Familiar going as high as the top of the Dalek Citadel which is several thousand metres tall. They have a force field which makes them as good as bulletproof and are actually waterproof too! Finally, they have sensor globes which allow the Daleks to self-destruct. This, understandably as all hell, is used as a last resort.**

### Feats

Elysia: *Well, they're certainly powerful. I mean, one single Dalek can destroy one million city-busting cybermen. GalactaK, y'know what this means, right?*

GalactaK: **No, no idea whatsoever.**

Elysia: *It means that one single Dalek could bring the entire world crying at its feet! One Dalek can destroy one million cities! London, Washington, Beijing, all wiped out!*

GalactaK: **You forgot Tokyo and Berlin.**

Elysia: *Whatever. Also, the Daleks engaged in a war against the Time Lords, who have powers well above that of a cyberman, killed several, and destroyed Arcadia, the most fortified city on the planet!*

GalactaK: **That's... actually impressive since I can't get into the heavily fortified area of my house to use the Johnson.**

Elysia: *The wha- oh.*

### Faults

GalactaK: **Daleks may be powerful, but many of their feats come from there being really high numbers of them. Also, they can be stopped by simply destroying the eyestalk. There's no backup supply for it, so it will reduce a Dalek to a screaming dustbin. Literally anything can do that, like a superpowered baseball bat for example. They're also vulnerable to laser projectiles. K-9 has killed a few in the comics with his laser gun, and the lasers from the Dalek's own death rays hurt them! Weird or just silly?**

Elysija: *Weird.*

GalactaK: **There's actually several ways to kill a Dalek. I'll give you a link to a video.**

Elysia: *Despite having 1001 ways to be destroyed, the Daleks always move forward, getting towards their main goal: Total Destruction.*

The Doctor: *So, who's for dodgems?*

Daleks: *EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!*

## Pre-Battle

GalactaK: **OK, the characters are covered, time to finally end this- and get some awesome scrap!**

Elysia: *Time to destroy some dustbin!*

Both: ***It's time for some Ultimate Destruction!***

## Battle

Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 were going down a hallway in the Jedi cruiser they were in. Something was happening outside. Neither of them knew what or who, only that they had to deal with it before it was too late. Another explosion sounded and something started to rumble, almost as if it was landing. Anakin stopped.

Anakin: *Hear that Artoo?*

R2-D2: *beep.*

Several more explosions sounded, this time coupled with screams. Shots were now heard and one of them nearly hit Anakin as smoke began to cover up vision on board. Artoo was unlucky enough to get hit by a giant shot which broke through the cruiser, hitting him. The smoke began to subside as voices could be heard. But they weren't friendly voices.

???: *WE MUST BE CLOSE NOW! there's NO WAY THAT WE CAN'T BE NEAR THE RAINBOW NOW!*

???: *YOU WILL STAY QUIET DALEK JEFF!*

Two golden dustbins appeared out of the smoke. Both looked at Anakin and Artoo. They were Daleks. Anakin didn't know this and ran at them, getting his lightsabre out ready. However, the Daleks simply shot him, killing him on the spot.

Dalek Jeff: *YAY! DESTRUCTION!*

Dalek: *YOU ARE NOT OF TRUE DALEK ORIGINS! \*turns to Artoo\** *MULTI-SPECTRUM SCANNING NOW ENGAGED. SCANNING... YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF THE DALEKS, YOU MUST BE DESTROYED!*

The Dalek bumped Artoo away. Artoo got up, ready for battle.

Dalek: *EXTERMINATE!*

GalactaK and Elysia: ***FIGHT!***

Artoo rolled forward as the Dalek fired beam after beam, which Artoo dodged. Artoo the shocked the Dalek, doing little in the way of damage. In return, the Dalek tried to crush Artoo's head with his Manipulator arm, but it did nothing. Dalek Jeff trundled off to get destroyed as the Dalek continued shooting at Artoo, who took to the air. The Dalek did the same.

Dalek: *YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR ME! YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED!*

Artoo rammed into the Dalek, denting a sensor globe. The Dalek removed the gunstick that he currently had, flew to the ground and took the flamethrower from a fallen comrade. He fired it at Artoo, who bleeed in pain as it hit, and dodged. Artoo got out his buzzsaw, cutting off the Manipulator arm. The Dalek removed the flamethrower, putting the gunstick back in. He shot at Artoo, but it gave no effect. He tried a couple more times, this time harming him in a few minor ways, before firing at a pipe, creating enough smoke for Artoo to not be able to see. However, Artoo simply got out his periscope and trundled towards the Dalek, the buzzsaw raised.

R2-D2: *Beep beep boop.*

He started to slice away at the Dalek's bottom area, with the Dalek withdrawing to not get completely destroyed. He shot at Artoo, who took to the skies once again, with the Dalek following as they went into space. The Dalek carried on shooting, as Artoo kept on dodging, the buzzsaw still out. The Dalek tried one last attack. He detached his gunstick and found the claw of a dead ally back on the cruiser. Going back into space, the Dalek caught Artoo's buzzsaw and snapped it off, Artoo screaming in robotic agony.

Dalek: *EXTERMINATE!*

He fired at the R2 unit, who opened up an are of his body to find the electro-shock prod and shock the Dalek with it This had an effect, sending the Dalek careering out of the mock arena. However, it resurfaced moments later with the gunstick to hand. It shot at Artoo, who dodged, just as his rocket boosters ran out of gas. The Dalek shot several times at the falling astromech droid, hitting it each time. Eventually, it followed as the astromech droid hit the floor of the cruiser. The Dalek shot one last time at the short-circuiting droid, making Artoo explode.

Dalek: *THIS WAS NO BATTLE! THIS WAS PEST CONTROL!*

***KO!***

## Conclusion

Elysia: *Talk about spamming!*

GalactaK: **Artoo had some impressive machinery, but the Dalek's was simply superior. It was built for fighting against organic creatures, but it has fought and killed several Mechonoids and Movellans, both of which are robots.**

Elysia: *Artoo wasn't built for fighting, only mechanical work, while the Daleks were designed to be the perfect killing machine.* \*mimicking salty Star Wars fan\* *But Elysia! Artoo survived a point-blank shot from a TIE Fighter!*

GalactaK: **That was in the Legends continuity, or at least that's so far as my research goes. Besides, it isn't supported in canon, where several similar astromech droids were destroyed by similar blaster fire.**

Elysia: *What they can destroy is also vastly different! Artoo can destroy three super battle droids, while the Daleks can destroy one million city-destroying Cybermen each! Overall, it's clear to see the victor.*

GalactaK: **We can assume that Artoo does have some intelligence advatages. After all, he hacked into the complex computer system of the Death Star. However, he didn't shut it all down, which coulda given him the edge.**

Elysia: *Artoo was left mentally Skaro'd from this fight.*

GalactaK: **That was terrible. The winner is the Dalek.**
