Is the Gorilla allowed to throw giant boulders?

I voted for gorilla because it has opposable thumbs. End of discussion.

Um... one of the worlds laziest animals versus one of the worlds most deadly predators?

Polar bear. It's not even a contest.

Put it this way...

Take the strongest, smartest human fighter and put it in a fight with a polar bear. Who do you really think will win? Polar bears are f'ing HUGE.

To suggest this suggests that you are ill informed about the true strength of a big ass ape.

More info can be found earlier in the thread. Coles notes: In terms of strength the Gorilla is stronger then a polar bear.

Neutral setting...

The gorillas opposable thumbs are neutralized by a 1 tonne bear hug. The strength of the ape per se is far greater than the 'WSM', not even lebron james gets the jump on that guy. The Polar bear is GSP and the Gorilla's camp is complaining to the nevada fight commission.

When a Gorilla starts chucking a 3000lb Beluga Whale out of the water i'll start to believe it.

Here's how I see this developing.

The Gorilla and the Polar Bear sight each other from afar, and come together in an hours-long staredown.





Things are getting pretty tense. They're both growling. The Polar Bear is flexing its razor-sharp claws, while the Gorilla tenses his muscular body. The Polar Bear makes the first move, and tries lunging at the Gorilla.



What happens next?




Game. Over.

Awesome, in that case. Optimist does win. Unless it's a fight like him and dino bot. It was an epic battle that saw a once proud adversary converted by the henry the 5th like leader in Optimist Prime(al). I cried at the dino bot death scene. He was the best poetic death of a cartoon warrior since the ronin story, or the legend of graywolf.

Watch this clip. Dino bot is the only soldier able to stop the predicons and megatron from using a disc to find the beginning of the human cradel of life insofar as to annihilate it. Dino bot a one time predicon comes to humanity's aid. Sometimes help comes from the unlikeliest of places. And why was there no Polar Bear Beast autobot (maximal) version who would have been armed to the teeth, moreso than the rhino dude.

I searched for this clip not too long as it appeared I wasn't the only person with an affinity for a warrior.

Let me ask you this:

If gorillas are so frigging smart, why did the Dharma Initiative choose POLAR BEARS to turn the time traveling donkey wheel in the Orchid Station?

Hm?

Anyone?

Polar bears time travel and teleport. Gorillas eat bananas.

Dude, Beast Wars sucks. You don't need to keep talking about it. Keep it on topic about Gorillas and Polar Bears at the least. No one cares about Dinobot - who incidentally also sucks compared to this guy.

Back on topic...
