In a bare fisted fight to the deaths, if we call what the Robo-men are "living", who would be remain as last "beings" standing in a battle Royal between 10 Robo-Men and 10 Ogrons?
 
OK, the Ogrons. Big, muscular, aggressive ape like beings who get angry if you shoot them.

Robomen, slow, lumbering, almost brain dead with suicidal tendencies.

Now if you said "ten robomen armed with smgs against a single unarmed Ogron" then the matter would be up for debate. But as it is...
 
but here's the thing about ROBO-men. They don't feel pain and they don't stop.

If you rip them in half, even very briefly both halves will continuing to attack their opponents, now you can argue that an Ogron can ignore pain because their too stupid to... but it's still not quite the same thing.

A robo-man will not bother turning every bone in their hand into custard if it allows them the correct amount of punches to be applied to achieve their mission objective.

Even though? Maybe I should have tipped the odds 10 to 1?
 
Are we talking about the Robo-men from the "Dalek Invasion of Earth"? They wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell against the Ogrons. If you rip themin half, they're dead. They're just humans with head gear.
 
^Yes, that. Mind controlled humans, that's all.

Ten robomen against one Ogron? I'd still put my money on the hairy fellow. Hell, I reckon he'd use his first attacker as a club to batter the others to death with!
 
Hmmm?

We've never seen Robo-men fight. What if their cpu's network and they manage to fight together with the precision of a synchronized swimming squad?

What happened to the Ogrons? A causality of the timewar? was their planet destroyed millennia before the Ogrons even crawled out of the oceans? Or like the Jaffar from Stargate did they eventually rebel and win freedom for their species? Hells, was their planet even under Dalek Rule? They might have been willing allies like the Vorta from DS9, or the Ogrons we saw were all just a foreign legion which had no ties to their homeworld for all we know? Oh my?They might have just commandeered an Ogron Nursery? Maybe they were just children and not idiot adults?

Dalek is old Skaro for "God" apparently.

O.

I wonder if there was ever any Robo-Ogrons?

Their lack of intelligence might have been from surgical conditioning which is an offshoot from the robo-men project?

Then again, the principle of coalhill School from Remembrance of the daleks was a Robo-Man, Just a far more advanced model that he only needed a clip on the back of his neck to maintain total domination compared to all that head gear from the dalek invasion, but it does prove that Robo-men are capable of preforming precise and complicated tasks if the needs be.

Well, they do move in synchronization. There's a famous shot in DIOE where two of them turn their heads in perfect unison. Very eerie. Also, when capturing the Doctor and Ian, they raise their whips and speak in unison.

Having said that, they are slow moving, not particularly coordinated, and, based on what we've seen on screen, possessing no greater strength or endurance. Indeed, given their apparent poor health, they're probably worse than an average human. So even if they are all perfectly synchronized, there would be few occasions where that would make any real difference.

Never heard that before. Source?

The head teacher was being mind controlled. I don't know one way or another if that counts as him being a roboman (the term usually applies to humans that have been adapted via a surgically invasive procedure to be used as expendable troops). Even if he does count, it makes little difference. He had no combat advantages, no superior strength or endurance. He was incapacitated by Ace kneeing him in the goolies, so I don't think he could resist an Ogron ripping his head off.

Perhaps, with their knowledge of science, the Daleks could develop a new type of roboman that could defeat an Ogron. But the lads seen in DIOE? No chance.
 
In the lengthy I, Davros biography detailing his formative years audio adventure not to be confused with Davros vs. "Sixy" sahring an office space semicomedy Odd couple rhomp of the same name.

But they were drawing information from all over, so I just assumed that it might have been mentioned before, perhaps in one of those equally non canon daleks annuals which used to be all the rageint he 60s and 70s.
