That's ONE demon... we're talking about millions of demons swarming a few thousand robots.

Oh hell, anything can win with those kind of odds.

I mean, you put a brick vs a person, and the person will probably win. Probably by throwing the brick into a river or something.

But you swarm a thousand people with a million bricks, and the bricks win.

Since there were no values determined in the original statement (BIG WORDS) we must assume it's all equal.

And robots have Optimus Prime, Megatron, the Terminator and Robocop.

Also, since demons are evil, then you can say the robots are on the side of good, which increases their chances of arse kicking increasingly. And if there are humans, they'll fight alongside the robots, bringing the whole religion thing to a big shebang. Plus, it's always a motley ragtag bunch of humans who win the thing anyway.

Also, daleks.

One word: Megaman.

He beats one demon then he has the "EVIL BLASTER" and then goes decapitating demons and stealing their powers.

And for the physical vs. spirits Megaman uses a blaster capable of throwing energy. I think even a fallen angle would be hurt by a massive blast of electrons to the face. Expecially with God rooting on the good guys.

If you simply take a look at the international news, you'll note that while God is certainly rooting for the good guys, He's not helping them at all.

Besides, Robots are not good, and assuming that they are simply because they are fighting evil is incorrect.
Faith is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse- reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor. Thus, the men who commited the atrocities of September 11 were neither cowards nor lunatics of any sort, but Men of Faith- perfect faith- and this, it must finally be acknowleged, is a terrible thing to be.

Yeah, but that's all human vs human.

A Demon Army invades then you'd assume that something would be done.

Also, the whole 'good side, bad side' thing depends on whether humans are in the equation at all. If they are, and are on neither side, then the humans'll win, cause humans are both eviler than demons and more kick arse than robots.

I don't get why so many stories downplay us fleshies as useless. We are rather immensely awesome when we want to be.

Well, Satan and all his demons are supposed to be destroyed in the lake of fire, which suggests that sustained ultra-high temperatures will kill a demon. They can walk through walls so shutting them inside a particle accelerator wouldn't work. Therefore, the best option is nukes. Lots and lots of nukes.
Robots can get those.

Magic doesn't exist so demons would have to conform to the mundane rules of reality. So the robots would squish them.
If magic did exist, I'd just build magical robots which would still trump the demons.
According to most lore you'd get automatons then, and we all know how much independant automatons sucks, therefore Demons will win.

So if magic didn't exist you can envision titans in bodymass with demonesque bodies ripping away through heaps of scrapmetal,
and if they do exist ... well...
Let's just say it's like comparing a hamradio against a bulldozer then.

There's no basis for judgment here. What mythos are we using? There are hundreds of different theories for how demons work. Walk through walls? Where did that come from? According to "most lore," automatons suck? In D&D, golems/constructs are among the nastiest and most powerful enemies that exist. What can you use to judge this battle? Is there magic or not? No definitions, no rules, no guidelines. Pointless debate.

Now, you could fix this by saying: according to Christian mythology and Warhammer 40k, would robots or demons win?

Robots have a limited power supply, and thus at points where they need to recharge, are open to be attacked.

Demons are also unfathomable creatures of darkness, so there's no knowing what they can accomplish.

Since Satan is all maniuplative and everything and can basically con anybody whose faith isn't strong enough, and since the robots aren't necessarily particularly religious or intelligent, I'd say that the demons would probably trick the robots into assisting them with the total corruption of mankind.

And I'm pretty sure the whole "hellfire melting the robots" thing has already been mentioned, but that bears repeating.

Plus, demons are freakin' awesome. If this were a webcomic, chances are the demons would win cause all the readers would think they were the coolest and hence be rooting them on. And a reader rooting on certain people in a webcomic has considerably more immediate influence on things than God rooting on particular people in the Universe. Or the reader has more influence if the comic's author pays any attention to his fanbase. And if he doesn't, then the comic has a certain chance for suckage, in which case no one would read it and both armies would descend into oblivion.

The end.
