" Windows are a structural weakness. The Geth do not use them." - Legion, on the Geth Station, Mass Effect 2
Astartes boarding torpedo comes to mind.
Or indeed, the Astartes animated shorts
Or teleport assault, forget fighting your way from the outside in. Start at the inside and force the enemy to come for you.
or the Deathwing opening.
@@vitaliyred622 *(Walking With A Ghost Intensifies)*
Thats the first thing I thought of. They crash into a ship and murder everyone then overload the reactor and crash it into other ships or a space station or your base on the planets
Was hoping to see the Astartes boarding scene
right?
There ain't no party like a boarding party because a boarding party don't stop
massive windows are necessary to spread the Glory of the Emperor.
Technically windows made of translucent metal are possible and better than “windows” you think about.
And necessary to ventilate the Glorious Emperor.
@@kristopherleslie8343 Transparesteel windows?
Dušan Radin well it was a joke in Star Trek during one of the movies. But it’s actually real now as it’s just metal that’s translucent. I would rather have that than plastic gorilla glass equivalent
@@kristopherleslie8343 Yes,i know.It's a fact for quite some time now.
Astartes bording torpedo
Realistic boarding: B5 episode "Severed Dreams" used breaching pod to burn in.
Babylon 5 earth alliance marines episode severed dreams and unknown aliens episode A View from the Gallery
I’m surprised that there wasn’t any 40k on this list. Should’ve included the Retributors raid on the heretic vessel in the Astartes fan film.
Exactly. I get that it is a fan animated free to watch video but I think it is undeniably one of the most spectacular boarding actions in any visual medium.
Frak yes. Seeing the Astartes in their element - actually acting as, y'know, _Marines_ instead of more generic elite or heavy infantry - has rarely been done better.
@@tba113 you mean "never" been done better
Not any more as it becomes official now. FOR THE EMPEROR
*PLEASE DO:*
Best Sci-fi Tanks.
Post-Apocalyptic Factions.

Tank girl is highly underrated. Bolo certainly deserves a franchise of it's own.
Love these ideas. Hope they also do
Best sci fi weapons ranged
Best sci fi weapons close quarters
If you’re looking at non-space based operations, you really can’t miss out on the boarding of the Truth and Reconciliation
Yes you forgot a boarding sequence. Astarties not the video game but the video clips created by the independent creator. There is a depiction of a 40K boarding by the super soldiers in those clips. It is as far as I am aware the only depiction of a 40K boarding there is.
Try to find the Space hulk gameplay video. It is from the view of atarte terminator squad, and almost as good as Astartes 1-5.
@@ultramarinus2478 Yes however it doesn't show them boarding the ship.
@@dawall3732 Spacehulk is a conglomerate of spaceships, therefore kinda yes. Wiew FROM the bording torpedo is almost as interesting as 3rd person view behind the torpedo (as depicted in Astartes 1-5...
@@ultramarinus2478 Not what I meant. In space Hulk you don't actually see the process of boarding of the torpedo. You see Marines in Terminator armor being released from clamps after a little vibration and then walking through a door. In Astarties you see the view from the camera in the front of the torpedo as it heats up the hull of the ship melts its way through on impact than creating an airtight seal and releasing the Marines. That's the difference. I think the scene from Astarties is far better and more dramatically shown.
@@dawall3732 Just a little addition / clarification... I don´t think it was a torpedo. More a Caestus Assault Ram.
Mentioning Jubal Early from Firefly! Instant LIKE!
Astartes boarding was epic
I feel like the boarding of Cad Bane's ship in the clone wars would also be a good mention
The entirety of the Astartes RUclips series is the best boarding scene
The Martian: the one where Matt Damon almost dies
Interstellar: the one where Matt Damon actually dies
When does Matt Damon not almost die?
The Martian. The one where Sean Bean doesn't die
@@s.g.3898 I think it's one of those rare science fiction movies where no one dies
Any ship boarding that involves Brian Blessed is automatically going to be the best, just cos I mean.... come on, how could it not be!!!
That's *BRIAN BLESSED.*
Firefly was an amazing series that was killed off almost immediately by Fox TV's incompetence or open partisanship. They stuck it in the worst performing time slot on the network and then rearranged the order of the episodes in the first season so new people couldn't understand it that was going on.
Void Shields The giant stained glass windows are there to allow the Emporers divine image to illuminate the heretics.
What about Battlestar Galactica? Either when the cylons boarded galactica early on in the series and tried to turn off the life support; or when Galactica boarded the home base of the Cylons?
Ashford's surrender bugged me. So he's the last one of his party, he has the baddie in his sights, and the baddies son has Ashford in HIS sights... but if he surrenders he's going to die anyway, so why not take that final shot and take the baddie with him?
I thought about that aswell, i would say it was for plot. because as he is getting spaced i remember seeing a screen on his arm that said transmitting or something. If i had to guess, letting them do this still met that he could try and get the warning out about what inaros was doing. i think he recorded the whole exchange too.
Missed Space pirate Haarlock boarding action(s) and Astartes 1-5 short youtube video.
"That wall will explode and turn into a door" My favourite Expanse quote.
I know this may be a stretch but I felt like the anime Gundam Iron blood orphans when they boarded the Hammerhead with mobile workers would have fit perfectly in this category.
If I can make another suggestion, there's the boarding action in Babylon 5 where Earth Force Marines board the station and face down with B5 security and their Narn allies.
That was a moving scene. The Narns have been itching for a fight, and here's a gold-plated opportunity for them to show the ONE group in the galaxy that actually helped them that even though the Centauri might have glassed their planet, Narn warriors can still throw down with the best of them.
But enthusiasm and quick reflexes only get you so far in an age of body armor and PPG's. You can really see the horrified "what the fuck are you doing?!" looks on the faces of the human B5 security troops when the Narns break cover and charge in - and are gunned down by the cartload, as they sprint into the Earth Force boarding troops' fields of fire.
@@tba113 in fairness to the Narn, they did take a few Marines with them.
There was also an unidentified alien boarding action of B5 in an earlier season.
As Lotara Sarrin once said, *Fire the Ursus Claws*
I see you also are a faitful of the empyrean pantheon
*Happy World Eater Terminator chainaxe voices*
Gotta have boots on the ground
I’d have to say the boarding of the rebel capital ship at the battle of scarif
Cylons going straight for the damage control and bridge to flush the humans out quick effective and 100 percent efficient and now they get a brand new colonial ship
And during the start of the First Cylon War, the Cylons would just hack the Colonial ships and vent them without the need to board.
How was the boarding action from Flash Gordon included, when the amazing boarding sequence from the astartes wasn’t?
I have never felt so small and so big. I have witnessed physics broken as we moved slower then time. Being a Infantry Marine on a MEU I quickly relized how truly dangerous and difficult it is to take or take back a ship. Especially if the enemy has the intention and will to fight. Placed properly a limited enemy on a ship can make Navy Seals look human. Semper Fi....I love your channel Allen and your spirit. American Ben is simply cool to. Thanks keep it up. You saved Syfi for me
Well, there is another thing you should consider when you are inside a plane that might be attacked: that you have been boarded before your plane has even took of.
The austrian COBRA team once stopped a terrorist hijacking an aircraft while in flight. This was the first and only time such an operation happened in reality.
Fun Fact: The lone officer on the prison ship is the voice of Anakin Skywalker on the Clone wars.
The Expanse books make it even more fatalistic for boarding actions. As described, you either fail being killed by defending marines and sailors or you get close to the CIC and the command staff scuttle the ship....killing everyone still on board. This touches on something American Ben said about "surviving" and it's better to be a bartender on Titan then a crewman on any warship.
Question for Allen: Baby Yoda is a xeno so cute he confuses even the staunchest Humanity First activities. Would you recommend eating him or keeping him around as a potential weapon?
Kill it now, before it becomes fully aware of its powers and has mastery of them
@@weldonwin I wonder though if we could harness its powers and turn it against other xenos
@@tonymanderson4678 That way lies Damnation. The works of the foul xenos must be cleansed by fire, lest their corruption sully and taint all those who would tempted by alien falsehoods. SUffer Not The Alien To Live My Brothers. Ave Imperitor Est. Gloria In Excelsis Terra
Every damn time there’s a boarding in The Expanse, I always get stressed out from how tense it is
At this point, I’m pretty sure he’s now trolling the 40k crowd.
“Windows are a structural weakness”
*A Geth Boi*
7:10 those giant windows are to better see the xenos with.
Or more accurately, to watch the Xenos BURN with their entire wretched world as the Emperor's Judgement is delivered upon them with nuclear fire
Too bad Ashford didn't have a heartbeat sensor, he could have easily seen the trap.
I was disappointed the astartes scene wasn't included in the first list knowing it's not in this one I won't even watch it
DS9's "The Magnificent Ferengi" comes to mind, both for the use of skills and the humor.
Breaching pods have to be the coolest invention in Sci-Fi space battles
Astartes tho
Is anyone else confused with the corner intro?!
Allen hasn’t been the same since his brush with the plague.
Was astartes included in Part 1. It was awesome.
Kuddos on adding the expanse. By far and away the most realistic space travel of anything I've seen so far.
where's the love fo the Adeptes Astartes
Nice (;
RIP Klaes Ashford
I would like to see "The system of the expanse vs Star destroyer"
seeing how modern earth would barely make it I wonder a combined force of the UN, MCR and the OPA would deal with it
**** ***********!!!!! ****! Don't judge me. My knowledge lacks. I listen to Issac Arthur and understand at least 2% of what he says. So I'm somewhat smart um cough cough....I could better articulate myself with a A4. That long barreled beautiful battle rifle. Out

Just to name a few from the Video Games side of things
Hello Generation Films Boys. Got two videos request! first one is How to Survive Redshirt | Star Trek. It time put end of a meme and make fun of Pop-Culture Media, even been running jokes by Writers/Producers/Authors. Take looks at Redshirt and Characters who wore red and survive in missions. And second video…Human Defense Corps! Came on! No one in comic book RUclips community talking this group? This series is pretty good and criminally forgotten plus this series for perfect for you’re to talk it. Plus it get talking gorilla scientist.
Every episode your V-Neck gets deeper.
One Star Trek has a pretty cool boarding action. It’s one of the much-maligned Shatnerverse novels (the ones partly written by Shatner and where Kirk is revived by a Borg-Romulan alliance after being dropped from a bridge). The ship being boarded is an exact replica of the Voyager built by the Alliance from the Mirror Universe. The boarders are Kirk and Mirror!Janeway aboard a shuttle. They force a battle and wait for a tiny hole to open up in the Voyager’s shields to launch torpedoes, then Kirk goes to warp and slips in through the hole. A pre-programmed transport beam then deposits them aboard the Voyager’s bridge. While everyone on the bridge is gaping at how someone manages to transport though shields, Mirror!Janeway recites a memorized line that locks everyone but her from the controls and transports everyone but her and Kirk to the brig. After all, the ship is an EXACT copy, down to the computer, which is programmed to recognize its captain’s voiceprint (and mirror duplicates have the same voiceprints)
I’m expecting to see the boarding of the Klingon Bird of Prey by Major Kira, Gul Dukat, and the Cardassian crew of the Gromal; true, built on plot armor, but the twist at the end is brilliant
Sorry. I understand you can time travel into the past but not the future in theory. So I fudged up my last post robbing it. Trying to articulate a VBSS is difficult. Its possible I messed up the acronym. I got out 2006. The military finally has left me. Though it hasn't.
Now, now Allen - you can't have a proper battle-cathedral-in-space aesthetic without stained glass windows. At least in the 40K lore, those windows are made of 'armourglass', a transparent material stronger than steel, and are usually several feet thick at a minimum (the Imperium somehow correcting for optical distortion through such a thick transparent substance), and are further fortified by the ability to cover them with even heavier armoured shutters, so those windows (even without their combat shutters deployed) are far stronger than the hulls of most star ships in sci fi. And all that is before you factor in Void Shields.
Still inarguably silly, but nowhere near as silly as they may seem to the uninitiated.
Astartes is the obvious miss here, but it looked like you folks were sticking to movies and tv shows... but check out Astartes, there was also an entire Call of Duty (infinite warfare) basically built around the idea of externally boarding space ships and taking them over or sabotaging them. It got panned as a CoD but actually wasn't that bad as a more generic fps.
Ashfords boarding is my favorite. I mean theres Inaros, i dont wanna spoil anything, but they built him up as a fucked up person everyone evades and no one wants to mess with. U first dont know whats going on in this scene, just seeing some blasts coming thru. Then when he says "prepare to repel boarders" i was like "WTF who would even fucking try to hunt the hunter!?" and then u see the one is Ashford was the most badass moment in the entire show for me.
Ya cuz I guess squads of Terminators teleporting onto derelicts, xenos ships, or heretic vessels would be unfair to add to these lists. Everything else would just seem so lackluster.
I hold the 'mounted charge' scene of KK's third fanfic to be the work of a mind that HATES Star Wars with a Passion.
Don't 4:00 just don't praise that movie lol that space horse on a starship hull scene was fucking terrible... And you being polite about it doesn't help.
if you are including batman and mad max, in a ship boarding video, you need to watch more sci fi.....Babylon 5 springs to mind.
Not wanting to jump on the bandwagon unduly, but I think the various commenters on the threat mentioning the Astartes Shorts and Babylon 5 have a point.
one of the bloody boarding scenes I've seen was from "Legends of the Galactic Heroes". Using both lazer guns and axes made a very messy scene.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA... Any scenes pertaining the Rosen Ritters!
We can cruze away anytime in space but
the important link is source of energy
Lets discuss this on practicle grounds.
Nuclear, solar or any other
This is the worst series of editing choices I have seen in my entire life, somewhere between an acid flashback and schizophrenia, however I appreciate your sequence choices shown here.
Babylon 5 when Earth Alliance tried to take the station by force and used breaching pods to send in the Marines. Garabaldi led the defence of the station with station security, and assistance of the various aliens on the station.
Did they even read the comments from Part One? They were almost entirely comprised of the word 'Astartes'. :p
FLASH!!!
Ashford should have just pulled the trigger and took papa Inaros out. He had to know he was dead . I think it was for story reason only...
Rule number 1 of the star wars fandom: we don't talk about the awful sequel trilogy.
A bit surprised to see Dark Knight and Mad Max listed as "Science Fiction"
"to the Covenant back their Bomb"
you recognize this quote cause it should have been on this list
Legend of the Galactic Heroes had a few cool boardings.
Bro, did you learn nothing from your last video on this? Where is Astartes!?
You should watch Astartes series thats Space Marine boarding action done correct
What is up with the sound levels on the videos lately. Both your channels have gotten too quiet.
Blah blah blah Astartes blah blah blah boarding torpedo blah blah blah wah wah wah blah
Shout out to my boys in 'Astartes' who board a ship like real men
I swear this channel has become a fucking expanse Fanpage
What?!! STILL no Magog swarm ships!
Make an video about Rysed by wolfs. This show is so good.
Insta like for the intro. It was genius!
still no astartes and docking from Interstellar
Damn... I thought it was "The 8 Best *Surfboarding* Scenes in Science Fiction."
If those cavalry were on top my star destroyer I would just have rolled the ship over to make them all fall to the planet below. Problem solved.
I'm not sure it could do that while stationary and in-atmosphere, but I don't know Star Destroyers like that. I personally, would've increased my altitude as quickly as possible. Even if I didn't get the ship out of atmosphere the cavalry would've started running out of air fast.
Anyone remember the season 2 finale of SeaQuest DSV, where the boarding party was send to rescue a resistance force leader aboard an aliens space ship/submarine? BTW, the resistance leader also an alien.
The boarding ship they used attached to the hull and cut a hole in it for the boarders to get in. Massive battle ensured throughout the alley they have to go.
a that altitude you can go ahead and shoot at your windows
nice video :D
4:27 Squadron 40... *DIIIIIIVE!!!!*
Good. Or probably the best in the list so far.
Fyi,
The reason Warhammer 40k has those windows are because they have void shields. In the lore, they do have viewers at the bridge, not necessarily windows.
Not seen or appreciated in the BTG series is the info in the novels that void shield in an imperial or chaos fleet had to have their void shields and defenses overwhelmed first and the blast doors are way larger to breech conpared to most other sci-fi universes.
You can never beat a boarding torpedo.
“Gordans Alive?!?!?”
Babylon 5 the boarding of B5
For me, the best boarding sequence has to be the deep space recovery team breaching Ripley's escape pod at the beginning of 'Aliens'. nearly 35 years old and still looks and sounds epic.
