[QUOTE=Dr. Jerk;121336]I watched the video some days ago, it was alright.
I happen to be a fan of Dragonball... However, I'm really only fond of the first Dragonball (the one with child Goku, and more closely based on Journey to the West), but I will admit that DBZ is better than DBGT.
I'd actually have to wonder if Astro Boy would be bested by Goku. While Astro Boy does have over 100,000 horsepower and seven mechanical powers, he also doesn't posses 'other-worldly' powers that Goku does. And Astro would EASILY be obliterated by a Spirit Bomb, no questions asked. Even then, Goku had fought many other robots/androids before, robots more capable than Astro in some ways.
Not to mention, Goku's power level IS "over nine thousand". One has to wonder if saiyan power is stronger than mere horsepower.

So, as great as it is to DB fans and as saddening/maddening as it is to AB fans, Astro would realistically be defeated.
However since the videos are being produced by an AB fan, something tells me that the end result might end up very biased. It'd probably be better if the end resulted in a tie.
I think I have to agree with this post. I understand this video was only done for fun, but I'll put in my two cents on this...
To be honest, I don't think Astro Boy could defeat adult Goku due to those reasons you listed. On top of those reasons, Goku has teleportation which would aid him very well in a match like this.
Then again, I suppose it's not fair to compare two different series with two different measurements of power. There are some characters in Dragon Ball that are ridiculously over-powered, especially in Dragon Ball GT. Even at that point in Goku's life (at the Cell Games), he has quite a bit of power compared to everybody else (except for Gohan, who Goku actually states is more powerful then him during the fight against Cell).
So maybe if Astro had his power increased to about a hundred million horsepower...(I'm joking, I'm joking).
On topic though, I thought this video was okay. Interesting to see Astro Boy and Goku in the same video. However, I think it would even more interesting if Astro faced Goku when Goku was a kid. Also, I have to agree with Dr. Jerk. I think if the match ends up being a tie, it would be better.[/QUOTE]
Although in Omega Factor, Astro was powerful enough to beat Sharaku's Three-Eyed-One mode, which is supposed to be really powerful at his full potential.
