Now THAT'S a gundamn fight amirite?
Do Victory Saber from Transformers vs Victory Gundam 2 next. Since you did the first Gundam vs first Transformer, we should also get the last UC Gundam vs last G1 Transformers protagonist.
Love anime.

Hello death battle!
The rx 78 gundam is literally 3 times taller than g1 optimus, still awesome tho
Optimus would die from depression if he found out he killed a kid.
Bayformers Optimus would probably drink his blood tho.
Amuro's body was surely vaporized in the blast. Optimus will never know.
@@gustavocaceda8175Bayformer Optimus after someone cuts off Sam Witwicki or Kade Jaeger: “I’LL RIP YOUR SKULL APART”
He’s killed plenty in his fights with the deceptions I think he’s fine with it overall
@@Theology.101give me your face!
This is like pitting a guy in a gorilla costume against an actual gorilla.
The Gundam is still _somewhat_ constrained by logic. Optimus actively ignored it.
The most accurate description I've ever read 💯
That is one of the things that splits them. One of them is from the Super Mecha genre and the other one was the very thing that lead the way to the creation of the Realistic Mecha genre. Death Battles between these two genres don't turn out well for Realistic Mecha when they go up against Super Mecha.
There's still an issue of delay. While Optimus as a living machine reacts the way we pur bodies do, the Gundam is piloted. So the pilot has to see what's coming, translate that into using the controls, then the Gundam has to react to commands. Sure with intensive training and experience that delay in reaction would be very minimal, it's still there and can mean the difference between a glancing blow or a lethal one.
Pretty sure if Amuro had the Nu Gundam in this fight Optimus would have been smoked based purely on the fact the Nu Gundam reacts to thoughts @@RequiemPoete
Softcore sci-fi totals hardcore sci-fi due to lack of constraints.
*Meanwhile in Death Battle Purgatory)*
Megatron: He should be here any moment now.
Starscream: Are you sure sir?
Megatron: These fights usually last around 5 minutes so Optimus should be maintaining our terrible loss streak and-
*Amuro materializes*
Amuro: Damn it! Who was that pilot!
Megatron: Oh dear.
Amuro: Oh, another mobile suit pilot? Wait, do these mobile suits have sentience?
Starscream: It would appear Prime has slain a human sir.
Megatron: Looks like we're about to get more company.
*Optimus materializes*
Starscream: Wait, didn't you win?
Optimus: I found the human's body and then asked Bumblebee to sever my head as an act of- huh, Unicron lost too?
Unicron: Galactus killed me and took my afternoon meal.
Megatron: Fitting, I was destroyed by an intergalactic conqueror myself called Frieza. In hindsight, I probably should've challenged him before the Dragon Ball continuity was revived a decade ago.
*Everyone stares at Starscream*
Starscream: In my defense, I died in season 1.
Best comment award goes to you, sir
I read that in everyone's voices.
Optimus: That's right, you got (b)eaten. By a Pony no less.
this is exactly how this conversation would go
The end is killing me😂😂😂
Megatron: "Soundwave! Hit Prime's music!"
Soundwave: "Affirmative. Initiate Operation Wings of Iron."
Ha! I got that reference!
I feel like Soundwave would say "As you Command, Megatron. Initiating Operation Wings of Iron."
Wow, nice
Bro, Blaster is playing primes soundtrack, not soundwave
Huh?
And then, Optimus sunk into a deep depression when he realized he just killed a hum kid, from which he never recovered. Unless this is Bayformers Optimus, in which case he ripped of his head and wore it as a trophy.
Michael Bay at his best.
"Give me your face!"
And that's why Michael Bay should've won Best Director at the Academy Awards.
Then wore it as he had his Autobots dig up the location of his family, friends and everyone he ever shook hands with. After all that, he not only shoots White Base down, but proceeds to fornicate with him before blowing it up after he is finished
Probably not.
I like how Amuro aims for the chest when he stabs Optimus, because that is where the cockpit is located in Gundam 79
in every mobile suits bc he still thinks optimus a zeon mobile suit
That, is very interesting to hear and would make sense. Neat
@@laylahoang
And Optimus Prime thinks that the Gundam is a Decepticon, always aiming at the vital parts of the body
The chest is the house of the matrix and spark
I still love how the Gundam tries to land gracefully on the planet while Optimus just face plants into the sand
Well i mean think about it. Gundams and their pilots are used to Ground and Space fighting, having to switch mid fight sometimes. Optimus and most land vehicle Transformers aren't accustomed to not only air to ground fighting, but space to ground.
Just gonna point out by Gundam's own lore it shouldn't have survived reentry without it's shield.
ooptimus be like i can take it
@@TeamTowers1 The first time it does atmospheric re-entry it used a cover stored in it's crotch to defeat the heat, not the shield. So it would be fine there. No clue how Amuro survived the impact on hitting the ground though.
@@Raktussame reason the pilots survived falling from space in pacific rim *plot armor*
Megatron: "Not bad for a librarian! Perhaps you should spend more time at the pit!"
Optimus Prime: "Then you should spend more time at the library!"
Till all are one, My fellow fall of cybertron fan
Calling a miner uneducated is a pretty low blow for Optimus lmao
Optimus: "After eons of conflict, I finally see the truth to your words, Megatron."
Megatron: "And what might that be, Prime?"
Optimus: "That this universe, no matter how vast, will never be big enough for the two of us."
Boomstick: "HE'S GOT THE TOUCH! HE'S GOT THE POWER...!"
The gundam was an impressive machine and Amuro was a skilled pilot, but Optimus’s MILLIONS of years of combat experience completely overshadowed Amuro’s 14. Also we already know that Optimus was over six times faster and nine thousand times stronger.
Holy hell! Who knew Optimus was so freakin' buff?! But the Gundam held plenty of its own advantages. With Amuro's super future-sense powers, he could keep up with Optimus' speed. And with the Gundam's firepower, who cares how much it could lift?
@@SeanSimons-dl5wj unfortunately the gundam’s limited ammunition meant this wouldn’t last, and even then Optimus could certainly survive a shot from the beam rifle
The winner is Optimus Prime.
Optimis:I’ve got the power
Upon rewatching this battle, I appreciate the attention to detail in exactly where both are trying to attack on the other's body. Optimus attacks the Gundam as if it's just a tall Cybertronian. He punches for the face and the side of the torso, because that's where a Cybertronian's vital "organs" are located. Optimus assumes he's fighting another living being. Amuro always aims for the chest of Optimus. Amuro attacks Optimus as if he's just a shorter than average Mobile Suit. The chest of almost all Mobile Suits, from the Zaku to the Gundams, all have their cockpit in the chest or just below where the sternum. Amuro assumes he's fighting a vehicle with a human pilot inside.
"Epic robot fight!" I understand the target audience now
Everybody, who doesn't appreciate a good robot fight?
@@omarsalem1219 true true
Well one’s a robot the other is a mech.
If they didn't fight, they would be great allies against the Deceptacons.
And the people who the Gundam faces. (I know what they are, but I'm worried CZcams will take my comment down)
SRW
@@coachlombardi9657Uh, why? Zeon isn’t a controversial word.
@@Savagewolver I was going to say Space Nazis.
decepticons(+zeon)
Amuro: "Not bad. I'm just better"
Optimus Prime: "I must stand so you shall fall!"
0:01 This would be a good crossover story where Amuro Ray was sent to investigate a mysterious alien spaceship and ensure the forces of Zeon under Char Aznable won't seize it for themselves.
You forget what would happen if Megatron woke up
Optimus Prime vs The Gundam is pure unadulterated awesomeness.
You mean pure unadulterated Badass
Same with Power Rangers vs Voltron
@@jostardusklight8365more like pure unadulterated ego
This is still one of my favorite DB fights, simply out of pure Transformers nostalgia
Same here
2:22 One of my favorite moves that has ever been choreographed in a DB fight
Bro thinks he’s a Mishima
This feels strange because while Prime and RX 78 2 are both the most iconic of their stories, Prime is probably one of the most powerful transformers where as the RX 78 2 would be bodied by most other Gundams (like Unicorn/Banshee/Phenex, 00/Qan T, V2, Turn A, Xi, Strike Freedom, and probably Barbatos Lupus Rex).
Yeah, i think that with many others it would end differently.
Like Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle for example
The difference being that the Gundam didn't survive its own series while Optimus needed a movie (with attached editorial mandate) to bite the dust (and he got better).
"I must stand, so you shall fall" is still so badass after all this time.
HE’S GOT THE TOUCH HE’S GOT THE POWER!!!!!
Amuro: I hate gravity
Carl Johnson: hey that mine 😂
Funny, in both the anime and the Movie, Amuro adapted quickly to the effects of gravity.
So true! GTA fans!!!
Dude, watching this as a kid was amazing. AND! I realized something! Some of the moves, such as the upwards sledgehammer late in the ship fight, and Optimus dragging the Gundam across the dirt, are things you can do in Transformers Devastation! The sledgehammer comes from finally beating Megatron, as a callback to the G1 movie's intro, and the dirt-run move is something Blitzwing can do, and Grimlock has as his bot-mode ability!
Not to mention grinding the opponent's face with his leg wheels, which he did to great effect in Transformers Prime against Megatron
This battle was "More than meets the eye!" 😂😂
This seemed like a much fairer fight than Megatron vs Freiza...that being said, perhaps we can do Starscream vs a Macross Valkyrie or some other iconic anime mecha?
Starscream vs Macross would be pretty sick, make it a squadron battle with thundercracker and skywarp by his side versus the skull squadron.
@@bluecanine3374 isn't there that one obscure anime about the two genders living on separate sides of the galaxy and the mechs just conveniently have combining compatibility. what about them going against Marcross?
@@nathanbeaudoin4437 vandread?
@@nathanbeaudoin4437 Oh shit, VanDread is obscure isn't it? Well, I'm gonna go reflect on that for a while.
Honestly if we're doing Macross I think it'd be funny to have Robotech's version go against original Macross, if only to see how they did it.
Nah with proper modern scalling and research, Optimus stomps even harder.
This is the EPIC ROBOT FIGHT of all time
Ultron vs Sigma: 😢
Gotta love giant robot battles. Especially when they’re to the death.
"It's more than meets the eye" at the beginning was just such an early reference. I love it
Optimus: THAT’S MY LINE!
Amuro: Not bad. I'm just better!
Optimus Prime: You might have superpowers but your mobile suit is just a real robot while I... [opens Matrix of Leadership] am a _super_ robot!
Optimus Prime had to show the home invading ruffian Amuro Ray that he owns an ion blaster, energon axe, energon sword, and Matrix of Leadership for home defense, as the founding fathers intended.
Prime used the stand your ground laws apparently
The 2nd Amendment of Leadership contitutes that all Cybertronians - Autobot or Decepticon - have the right to bear arms.
Second best fight featuring massive sized combatants imo, behind Power rangers vs voltron
Than Prime says *GIVE ME YOUR FACE!*
Sorry that would be hilarious 😂
We need more gundam fights or just more giant robot fights.
Zex VS White Power Ranger, Mechagodzilla VS Green Power Ranger, Megazord VS Voltron
I know these other two are a bit tricky to say, but Megatron VS Frieza, Galactus VS Unicron
Yeah! After all, chicks dig giant robots.
Megas XLR vs Char Aznable with Sazabi
Gundam? No
Other Giant Robots? Yes
I would love to see a mech battle with Big O or an Evangelion Unit.
One of the most epic fights on Death Battle. I'd hope they make another Transformers related battle, mostly Eren Yaeger vs. Bayverse Optimus Prime. One of my favorite matchups.
and so far to this day Optimus remains the only Transformers combatant winner still.
Bayverse Prime would eat up Eren. You'd have to pick the most blood-lusted version of Prime out there. 😂
Superman vs optimus prime is better
Fair enough, I just want to see Bayverse Prime in action@@ironbat5481
@@ironbat5481let’s just hope it isn’t the robot version of super man, that guy would’ve torn down prime down.
No story no explanation
Just laser weapons and death
And epic music!
From one of the best death battles to another one of the best death battles. Sweet. 👍
God I love the 80s styled music with this battle.
This was an epic fight.
Hope Optimus comes back. Maybe fight Bomberman.
Honestly God Gundam would have been a fairer fight. The Matrix of Leadership defeated Unicron, God Gundam defeated the Devil Gundam combined after it absorbed the Neo Japan space colony.
I thought Turn A would be a fairer fight because of its Moonlight Butterfly system.
@@kevinmcmonagle7776 Nanomachines that would slowly eat away at Optimus _and_ the matrix? How is _that_ fair? Literally the only thing he could use in response would already be too damaged by the time he figures out what happened.
@@mattwo7the thing is, it wouldnt be slow. The nanomachines as soon as theyre active they'll eat optimus alive in mere instants. Theres even an official animation showing how did the turn A reset the gundam franchise.
Optimus: "I must stand so you shall fall" and that's why Optimus Prime is awesome
I'm actually glad you're actually the side of the rewatch and bring back some old battles. I really do enjoy watching them. Also I have a question what happened to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles battle Royale video and what happened to Lord Bearis VS that 1 sailor moon character.
Beerus vs. Galaxia got taken down because Toei hates fun, but it’s on Rooster Teeth if you want to watch it
As both a Transformers & Gundam fanatic, I bow to the animators that made this fight absolutely outstanding~🙏😩🙏
This is certainly one of my personal favorite Death Battles of all time!
My favorite of all time, my close second is Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher
Mine too!
This is still some of thier best work, especially for the era of the show it came out in.
Arguably, one of the best episodes of DeathBattle ever!
I can't wait for the next season.
Even after all these years still one of my absolute favorite episodes
0:57 "Vile Decepticon, i have been in battle for countless eons!"
Question: how would this situation actually go if it was story accurate?
Like say Teletran-1 did end up near the Gundam Earth, what would actually be the response?
imo They might fight for a while before Amuro and Optimus talk things out. Knowing Optimus tho, he would probably start things by trying to talk, Amuro would respond and the situation might deescalate before any fight happens at all.
@@renatoandrade3407 Optimus would be fascinated of the mobile suit and see the technology impressive by human standards.
Imagine The Gundam being given some... Cybertronian tech upgrades.
Godzilla Vs Gamera next pls
Optimus Prime @ 2:44 ~ "You may have the touch, but by the power of the matrix... I HAVE THE POWER!"
Can we please have more of these? Its great being able to rewatch specific fights this way
Fun Fact: This has been the only Fight wich a Transformer character won.
Hate that it's true, but *MAAAAN* were those fights still epic or what?
😢😢😢
Damn the truth behind this hurts. I hate, but I can't deny it. 😔
For now, at least. There might be a Transformers character that might win in the future.
It's a shame because transformers has so many incredible matchups: Shockwave vs Braniac, War Machine vs Ironhide, Juggernaut vs Overlord, Depthcharge vs Black Manta, Starscream vs Gigan, X vs Primal, Dinobot 2 vs Masked Man, Tigerhawk vs Hudiemon, Optimus vs Superman, and Beast vs Rhinox. Just a shame they lose so many of them.
He's got the touch!
He's got the power!
Yeah.
0:17 how did nobody notice this he literally says what the transformers theme is "more than meets the eye"
A fourteen year old vs a robot that’s been fighting longer than human civilization has existed
Bruh this was so awesome, I wish this crossover was official. Could you make a video on the Eva-01 vs colossal titan (evangelion vs attack on titan)?
Would that work as a Death Battle?
@@LordoftheSwamp1269 it kind of would, maybe a little too good…
I'd say no because of how one-sided that fight is, but this one was too.
@@SeiyaTempest Isn’t colossal titan strong or not, I thought h was for some reason.💀 (I never watched attack on titan…)
Eva-01 Vs Attack Titan ( Evangelion Vs Attack on Titan ) will be badass. I can't wait both Eren and Shinji fight each other in their Titan and Eva.
Still by far one of their best episodes to date
"Vile Decepticon. I have been in a battle for countless ions." Literel chills
This one is one of my favorites. Glad they reposted it
Just goes to show, you mess with his friends, and Optimus Prime will forgo any and all mercy.
For anyone who didn't recognize it, The Ship they started the fight on was The Ark, the very same ship that carried the Autobots to Earth in the first place, so when Amuro blew up The Ark, he also killed all of the Autobots still onboard.
Side note, Transformers Earth Wars recently established that both The Ark and The Nemesis (the Decepticon's Ship) are both Dormant Titans (like Metroplex), so Amuro's Cybertronian body count is 1 more than we thought when this episode first came out.
Amazing sound track
Optimus when Gundam was like: "YOU PICK THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL!!"
Loving these
Only the Fight edits
Keep it up
I like how if this was a composite or idw optimus prime, the fight wouldn't even last a second.
Looking back, this fight is hilarious one sided. Like damn. Megatron vs Frieza was a far closer match then this.
There's something about Amuro so casually saying 'Stop that' Gets me every time
5 years later and this fight still hits hard as a truck.
This is my all time favorite death battle
Their heights look kinda wrong or is it just me
Gundan should be larger than Optimus, but DB usually makes combatants around the same size for the sake of animation
it’s not as entertaining if one guy only reaches up to the other guy’s toe, and it didn’t really affect the result anyway
One of the coolest fights ever. Also the music was just great.
Megatron watching this: “DAMN YOU! You gave him the easy one!”
When is DBX coming back? It's been like... 2 years!
Love how Optimus just murders that guy. Classic.
This is the fight I was looking forward to
Low key a comic crossover of Gundam teaming up with the Autobots would be a kickass comic run
Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Unicron truly had worthy opponents…..🚚🔫🪐
Well….except Starscream of course…..🛩️
Atleast transformers has a single w
This is my favourite death battle of all time
This is up there with dante vs bayonetta and sam fisher vs snake. Peak death battle
One stands one falls
Captain America vs mr incredible please
Bro didn't even deploy the atmospheric condom, how did he survived that?
Dam, the music is just 🔥🔥🔥 with this battle! Felt like I was watching this on Toonami! Love it 😁
Three Death Battles I would love to see in the near future.
1. Captain America vs. Deathstroke (I still want to see that staring contest.)
2. The Batman who Laughs vs. Lord Drakkon
3. Dark Kahn vs. Ultron-Sigma
Batman who laughs would be fun, if not for everyone literally thinking he’s the worst character in all of DC.
Lol I understood that first reference 🤣 still, I think Captain America vs. Bane would be a more fitting matchup
@@ThePsych123 Maybe, but both Captain America and Deathstroke are both super soldiers with history of being enlisted in the military under some sort of false pretense. The former had multiple health problems and frequently lied on various forms to get in the military, while the latter was too young to be enlisted. Both were chosen to be part of a program that would result in them being experienced and enhanced to become super soldiers. Both possess some of the most advanced forms of hand-to-hand combat. Both wield some sort of weapon and/or armor that's made out of a material that harder and lighter than a real life substance. And both were in some sort of romantic relationship with a woman who was also part of the same division that the respect super soldier was involved with.
Optimus can beat ANY Gundam pilot, gundam pilots are still humans their piloting reaction times would still never be as fast as Prime's. They couldn't even have a strategy to counter him due to his superior strategic experience from millions of years of battles.
Not entirely the case. Unicorn Gundam Unit 3 Phenix is essentially piloted by Rita's soul. Because of this it can reach speeds approaching the speed of light, create shockwaves of psychic energy that can dismantle machines, manipulate matter and energy, etc. Wing Zero and Epyon both have the Zero System installed. This feeds tactical data directly into the pilot's brain and allows them to see multiple outcomes in battle. An even better case is Setsuna from Gundam 00. Being a pure-type Innovator, he can use GN particles in ways no other pilot can. This includes expanding his consciousness throughout the battlefield, quantizing (phasing out of normal reality) etc. On top of that with 00 Quanta, he was able to successfully make contact with alien life forms and essentially became an alien human hybrid. Not factoring in the pilot, Turn A Gundam would most likely beat Optimus Prime. It is powered by an artificial black hole, has nano regenerative armor, can teleport and most importantly, it has the Moonlight Butterfly system which can deconstruct and reconfigure matter.
You don't know many Gundam special systems, so you?
That was an awesome fight, thanks.
I like how it took three years for them to upload just the fight
Honestly my favorite deathbattle simply due to the franchises and also one of the greatest deathbattles to be animated at the time. This deathbattle was evolutionary as it eas a steo up from what they used to make.
The only reason this seems rigged is that Optimus is one of his best fighters of the franchise, but the Rx 78-2 is pretty far from the most powerful gundam, even if Amuro is arguably one of the best pilots
This fight is still one of my favorites
“I must stand, so you shall fall!” I love that so much dude.
This was one of my favorite death battle fights! I think you guys did a good show of respecting both characters while still making it pretty clear optimus was just built different
This was a great episode
Y’all ever think about how complicated it would be to pilot a Gundam? I used to think about that often.
Love this fight!
Red vs tai too please, that battle was legendary
The fact that Amuro killed an undetermined number of Autobots and Decepticons aboard the Ark, this victory was justified
And I'm also sure that Amuro ended the Transformers war
How'd you give Optimus Prime, motormaster's vehicle mode, when Optimus Prime transformed into a Freightliner f86 cab-over. Motor Master was the kenworth K100 cab over.
Years later I still love this song
