Ultimate TOS Fighting Championship

We never saw Charlie do anything on that scale. Changing people is one thing. Changing something of the PK's size made of neutronium is something else.

We did not need to, since his episode had him manipulating or removing things no matter the scale, from Phasers to adult human beings. That, and his destruction of the Antares made him a teen only limited by imagination. What would stop him from making large parts of the DM's hull vanish--which would expose its internal mechanism, probably destroying it in the process? The DM is just a device--a weapon, but Charlie has human thought on his side, giving him near endless advantages backed up by his gifted abilities.
 
And yet the Thasians could control him while he was on their world and yet didn't realise he was gone when the Antares stopped there? I wonder how they found him on that planet? Was he still living in the ruined spaceship of his parents?

Wasn't Clayton Forrester the name of the scientist in the 1953 War of The Worlds movie starring Gene Barry?

Yeoman Landon has pretty good combat skills.

Dammit. It’s a Yeoman’s Stunt Double. Looks like she has 3 dudes knocked out!

Ok so I might be breaking the rules here but -

Nomad vs Daystrom's M 5 unit.

I can hear it now

"This unit must survive "..... "Sterilize sterilize "

Probably Nomad wins.

The initial error that Nomad made in "The Changeling" was in thinking that Kirk was Roykirk. Unless Nomad makes an error that the M-5 detects, it's not going to be able to make Nomad self-destruct using Kirk's logic bomb, even if it occurs to the unit that it's an option worth trying. Nomad wins a brute force contest, I'm afraid.

I do wonder if the reaction time and maneuverability M 5 could give a ship might allow it to evade Nomads fire long enough to wear Nomad down. We never did see a drawn out conflict for Nomad that might drain its resources to the point where it would become vulnerable. .
 
In one of my Production viewing order write-ups I pondered who would win Planet Killer vs. Nomad. Could Nomad's weaponry penetrate the PK's hull? What damage would they do if Nomad fired into the maw? How many of the PK's shots could Nomad take?

Nomad attacked with energy bolts that traveled at warp 15 and inflicted 90 photon torpedoes' worth of damage. The implication was that it would have finished off the Enterprise, if it hadn't mistaken Kirk for its creator.

What damage would they do if Nomad fired into the maw?
That's a good question. In one of our discussions of "The Doomsday Machine," someone hypothesized that the dampening field of the planet killer disabled photon torpedoes, as the reason explaining why no one tried to fire them at the machine. It doesn't explain why no one tried to fire phasers into the maw, though.

Wasnt there a line of diologe in "The Doomsday Machine " about Consolations anti matter being deactivated?

That would explaun why torpedoes would have been ineffective and not considered by Decker in his attack.
 
I suspect that getting right in front of a device that carves up planets to fire phasers would be pretty much a non starter even for Decker in his grief.

He only did it at the end in rhe shuttle once he decided on suicide.
