Alaskan Bull Worm vs. Thomas The Tank Engine

[Insecurity97]

Thomas is 9-B. The bull worm can breathe on land, is the same size as Thomas and speed is equalized. Both start on a train track 100 meters away from each other

Alaskan Bull Worm: 0

Thomas The Tank Engine: 0

Inconclusive: 0

"is the same size as Thomas". I clicked on this thread assuming that wasn't the case, & now I feel like you've ruined a hilarious premise! You have embittered me so, but dangit, I'm gonna discuss this.

Heck, I could argue that by increasing its size without lowering its density, it might be weaker, but that's kind of not how powerscaling works.

In any case, I can't find the basis for Thomas's AP as a 9-B. At least the ABW's seems documented. It destroyed Bikini Bottom, & this is linked int he AP section of its profile. https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:ArbitraryNumbers/Destroying_Bikini_Bottom_(Redone)....

So uhhh, yeah. I can't think of why the AWB would avoid Thomas's tracks other than maybe instinct telling it to avoid the large moving object, but it's the same size, so maybe it'd get territorial & attack, especially given SBA? What even are an Alaskan Bull Worm's instincts?

(At least if it was its normal size, maybe it could be argued it'd try to avoid Thomas.)

It might ram Thomas. I wonder if it could try to fight through strangling or toppling Thomas? Could it tolerate his weight?

So yhhh, yeah. For now, without knowing the value of Thomas's AP, I'm abstaining from voting.

Actually I jokingly did a calc for Thomas a bit ago

It isn't very high

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Depending on the version of the Spongey boy calc, Thomas holds roughly a 2x minimum AP advantage

@Mr.Bambu: Thank you very much!

Ah. So, the only advantage the Alaskan Bull Worm might have is mobility, in that it's not bound to the tracks? ....Well, maybe Thomas's wheels can run off of rai-Wait.

SBA says default location is Central Park, New York. OP hasn't specified one but has said combatants start on a train track 100 meters from one another.

So.... Are there magically now train tracks in Central Park? (I mean, assuming there weren't already; I've never been there.) If not, where are they? The nearest train track?

 

[Insecurity97]

Let's just say the train track is out in the country. So basically an average everyday railroad

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Yes, there can magically be train tracks in central park

All things considered, even though the bull worm could deviate from the tracks... would it? It seems to me it would just sorta charge.

So for now my vote is Thomas.

If it's the same size as Thomas; I though the Worm would think about getting off of the tracks, considering it's kinda dumb. It'd definitely charge and go splat.
