i'm surprised i haven't seen this fight before.

brawn has an extremely high degree of strength and durability but hes also very agile as well as being a skilled brawler. his major weakness in this fight would probably be his lack of firepower, but his circuitry is of an older design and isn't protected against less conventional attacks.

warpath is also very strong, though id give brawn a slight advantage (their tech specs are identical for strength) warpath has vastly superior firepower and arguably greater durability, though probably not by much. hes also a very tough fighter but hes also an expert marksman with a wide range of options as to what type of ammo he wants to use. his major weakness would probably be his low vehicle speed and his gun barrels obvious and less than ideal strategic placing. hes also less focused and experienced in hand to hand combat.

i would personally give this fight to warpath. at the opening he would be able to fire several shots off at brawn, and given his accuracy at least one, probably more, would hit their target. warpath has access to 'sonic shells' and i believe brawn has been shown to be susceptible to frenzy's sonic attacks before.

brawn's agility would however mean he would likely avoid being critically damaged before he made his way to warpath to engage is hand to hand combat. while they are largely equal in going toe to toe, brawn's experience and skill would give him an advantage, and if he could damage warpaths canon it would neutralize his greatest advantage. no longer being able to use his firepower warpath would be forced to go toe to toe with one of the autobot's most dangerous melee fighters. ultimately his strength and durability would let him effectively trade blows, even if brawn was the better fighter. the deciding factor would be the damage warpath managed to deal in the opening stages of the fight before brawn got close enough to engage. they are so close in physical attributes that warpath would eventually wear brawn down.

depending on terrain warpath might even take out brawn before he ever reached him, or he might do less damage and be in for a more difficult fist fight, but in the end they are so evenly matched that his firepower combined with his accuracy is too much of an advantage and he'd take it probably 7 or 8 times out of 10, with brawn getting a a few wins in situations where the environment favored him (lost of cover) and he got to warpath almost untouched. he'd still be in for a difficult fight but his skill and experience would win out.

Ha...that!

I dunno, I like Brawn. Sure Warpath was crazy, but I Brawn was one of my favorite G1 characters because he went toe to toe with Decepticons waaay bigger than him. He was even brave enough to fire Megatron's cannon at him even though it took him back a bit.

Brawn FTW

Unique! You're alive! It's great to see you again!

Looks like you've covered your topic pretty darn well; no need for me to sound redundant. Warpath is, thanks to sound reasoning, the winner here.

Warpath

Warpath "Bang! Pow! I'm going to blow you into pieces"

Brawl "Shut up ya Autobot punk!"

They start fighting in a desert as tanks then realize they are too evenly matched to continue this way. They transform into robot mode and begin fighting intensly. Brawl takes a cheep shot and stuns Warpath. Taking a moment to call in Combaticon back up, Warpath rolls over and uses his powerful front mounted cannon to blast Brawl with all the Energon he has left. Brawl's com link is disrupted and with the damage he has sustained is too much for him to continue fighting. With one more well placed punch Warpath is able to walk away from this one.

Winner: Warpath

Warpath wins if his cannon shells are on target.

Brawn wins if he reaches Warpath before he's destroyed.

I reckon Brawn would win because he can throw large objects at Warpath, forcing the little red bot to dodge. Brawn throws something and then moves closer. Brawn takes cover. Warpath recovers and fires. Brawn isn't hit. Brawn throws something else and moves closer still... Repeat until Brawn starts grappling with Warpath and wins.
