Peypeypeypey Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Lightning was build for this. He's a race car up against a truck. I have faith he can pull this up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSkillz Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Optimus's top speed in truck mode is 140 mph in a lot of media, so he's not a lot slower than Lightning. He probably also won't get knocked around as much by the items and hazards (not to mention his robot mode could save him from a fall). He'd also be kinda tough to pass if he gets ahead. Thing is, his vehicle modes probably can't handle sharp turns at high speeds as well as Lightning, especially if he's a larger truck or lugging a trailer around. All-in-all, it seems Lightning has the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All-in-all, it seems Lightning has the edge. NASCAR (which I presume McQueen is based on) has cars travelling around 200MPH. That's an additional lap per minute on Optimus. So McQueen's speed edge is actually pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not sure how big of an advantage his speed is on Rainbow Road, though, considering it's only a 3-lap race and the hazards of the track and items thrown Lightning's way will likely knock him around more than Optimus. I'm still pretty sure that Lightning's superior speed and better handling should net him a win here, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macklemore Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Narrow and slippery tracks are Lightning McQueen forte yes, but again, Rainbow Road is the one racing track that I'm aware of in the pool where combatants are allowed to use weapons. I don't know if Optimus would opt for that per say, he's too much of a nice man-bot-thing, but it's not a surefire win for Lightning cause just cause he's a racer.
