[Necessary Evil]

Okay, we have a 2 on 2 battle here.

Which duo wins?

[Predaprince]

The Cons.

[AxiomScion]

While i'm highly partial to his torque rifle, AirRaid seems a little too wreckless to beat either Decepticon mentioned in the air. When he tries to get in close either Blitzwing just turns tank from above or grabs him in mech form as he can switch alts three times as fast; conversly Ramjet would just spear the Aerialbot should he streaking into his cluster. Hand to hand either Decepticon would dominate as well.

Sideswipe could hold his own against either Decepticon contender but given his lower endurance may have the same flaw as the Aerialbot. With limited flight and even more limited firepower, his only option is to use underhanded tactics and melee combat. Since he's not his brother, I don't see him getting past the triple changer. Ramjet handles pain a little too well for Sideswipe to rashly trade hits with the conehead either.

Given the comrodery of the decepticons sharing atleast one alt mode, I'ld have to default to them working better together too.

I'ld give Blitzwing and Ramjet the win 4 out of 5 matches.

Agree mainly with AxiomScion. The torque rifle is key here. It could literally screw up the Decepticons in one hit, if they can be caught in the beam.

Of course, the 'cons will attack hard and fast from the air. The Autobots will do their best to knock them down. Blitzwing has a gyroblaster that would keep the Autobots off balance long enough to be killed. This would only work if the Autobots were hit. This will be a fast and furious fight. The 'bots are braver and more intelligent. The 'cons are stronger and faster. Ramjet is the toughest but he's vulnerable to the torque rifle.

Personally, I think Air Raid will carry the day but there's still a fair chance that the 'cons will smash the 'bots with strong, rapid attacks.
