Similar to the herbivore thread, in your opinion what are some of the most formidable animals at parity and why?
I think ankylosaurs are good contenders for that; they're well armed AND well armored

How do we scale this? There are large categories of animals that just don't overlap with others in terms of weight range and imagination isn't always easy.

One way I go about it is to ask myself what kinds of animals I would favor over a certain animal at equal weights.
By that logic, I honestly can't think of ANY animal I'd back over a same size ankylosaur

Like I mentioned, some weight ranges just don't overlap. Some arthropods have very impressive weapons, but would they still mean anything if they had any hypothetical relatives large enough to be compared to, say, dinosaurs?

Maybe you misunderstood the context - are there only a handful of animals you'd back over a same size arthropod of any sort? That would count

Why would that be, out of curiosity?

We need to include the square cube law. Mass increases faster than strength which is why if a small animal was miraculously scaled up, it will become weaker pound to pound than it already is.

You do have a point - I believe, for this reason and others, ankylosaurs>arthropods at parity
