That might be fun to combine all four together just to see which one is better!!!
robotech and battletech are probably similar they probably have the same types of weapons. gundum and transformers i really don't know anything about.

Definitely the original Transformers. They have a mobility advantage over any of the others.

have to agree there. The biggest difference is the transformers are (arguably) alive.

Don't know anything about gundam or robotech.
I agree that the Transformers would have a mobility advantage over 'Mechs. They also have the ability to look like harmless civie cars until the 'Mechs get close. But a BattleMech is really big, bigger than most Tranformers, although Optimus Prime was pretty big. It'll end up being 'Mechs blasting Transformers to bits while Transformers rip the pilots out of their 'Mechs.
I'll say BTech wins it. But they'll have to call in artillery, Aerospace fighters, DropShips, and orbital bombardment to finish the job.

The Robotech Veritechs have maneuverability comparable to any of the Transformers. That protoculture matrix that power's 'em is a nasty thing.
Battlemechs would come in dead last. (Gasp!) They've got a shorter effective combat range and they're slower than any of the others. And as far as orbital bombardment, the SDF-1 would waste any B-Tech warship that tried.
And don't forget, before you flame me too much, that I'm a die-hard B-Tech fan. But, I'm a realist too......

lol. "Realist." You have realisitcally determined which fictional army will win a fictional battle. Isn't it great how people use "realism" nowadays?

The Transformers wouldn't win.
Everytime the dramatic moment comes, Optimus Prime dies.
How can they win without their leader?
Now, the Decepticons...

War is expensive, and the guys who can spend most have a huge advantage. Which of these forces is best at (ignoring) finance?
