2. Not sure, a standard Astartes takes on thousands of enemies before falling. Once again not sure but i'm gonna go with Astartes.

3. Hunter will win, just. The terminator's assault cannon will slowly rip through the Hunter's armour but is too slow to dodge the Fuel Rod, which is apparently plasma and as we all know, Ceramite is tough but cannot survive heavy plasma assaults.

4. Not sure, one or two boltgun shots could sever the  lower portion from the upper portion, if he manages to get behind the Hunter that thing is gone, but only IF.

5. Tough call, they are both extremely powerful warriors and it would become on of those hour long duels where if one makes a mistake, the other wins.

6. Probably Linda, because she is apparently the best sniper the UNSC have.

7. Brute, no competition.

8.Tartarus has a gravity hammer so he wins, but this "muscles like thick steel cables," would be nothing to a Power Klaw, not to mention the Ork warboss's ability to regenerate.

9. Brute, no competition.

10. Scarab is tough, but against the Baneblade? Whoever sees the other and fires first wins, as they will ahhnialate the other with little problem.

11. Despite their appearance Orks do very little eating and sleeping, there's more fitin' to be done and more dakka to be lootin'. So I guess the Brutes with their habit of eating people and all win.

Soceror Du'un, don't forget that Tartarus has that OP shielding from Halo 2, that could resist three shots from a High-Particle accelerator cannon, the Beam Rifle has been clock to have the explosive firepower of 40-80 tons of TNT. Which is exactly why it kills eveything within several hundred meters everytime its fired. Oh wait. It doesnt. 40-80 Gigajoules, sorry got kind of mixed up with those tons and joules. Anyway the point is, what I am saying is how strong those shields Tartarus was wearing.

Also Geomax could you have a legit calc for Tarty shields. 40-80 gigatons is still "blow up everything" level. 40-80 kilojoules seems more liekly going by the 20-45 kilowatt stated output for the plasma rifle.

I still don't get how you got the 40-80 kiljoule for the Plasma Rifle since we see single shots of a Plasma rifle blowing up and disintergrating the entire torso of a heavily armored marine.

Either that or Halo calcs and cannon are incredibly inconsistent, and we usually get different results.
