Seems reasonable that the only non-organic and not at all fleshy one would win in a fight to the 'death'.

I am seeing pretty much everyone saying robots, I think I am going to start pleasing them as to not become a slave.
Depending on which fictional universe's rules you pit against which OTHER universes it should be the robots. They just have way more potential than organic (un)life...
Where is the epic "battle to the death"-thread with Ninjas, Pirates and Vikings?
But yeah, robots.

Whilst the general trend for vampires is that decapitation is fatal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tables_of_vampire_traits#Weaknesses], with robots it depends more on where the main processor is. The head could simply be acting like another limb such as an arm or leg, where the robot would continue to work afterwards, just missing a limb; in this case, a head. Destroying the brain would work for all three, though.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Man, this argument is getting hypothetical.
Admittedly this does make it a hard debate, every film/book/whatever has different versions of them, each with different strengths and weaknesses.Taawus said:
True, but Zombies tend to have difficulty making it past barbed wire fencing, so I wouldn't fancy their chances against a Terminator or something, let alone those giant robot tanks they have.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I think it's logical to assume that modern robots would have multiple processors, best if two in each part of the body and 4 in the chest. And they would have the same thing new Intel CPUs use - if one part of the body/processor would get destroyed, the others would work with the power of the one that just went off.Zombie_Fish said:
This way, you'd have to smash the robot to pieces to completely destroy it. Or sever all connections, but then all you have to do is wireless connection between all parts...
Yeah, as you can see, zombies and vampires are limited. Robots aren't.
I'm giggling at the fact that they've called it a "Battle to the death" when none of these are actually alive ><
And robots would have the upper hand, they have the smarts and manoeuvrability which the others lack (assuming it's hypothetical robots, not today's which are only just learning to play tetris and solve rubix cubes).
