Spartan. Hands down. Mjolnir armour has energy shields and is resistant to bullets and explosions. Clone armour can be beaten by teddy bears with stone clubs. The clones also use weaponry that is vastly inferior to the Spartan's.
Storm Trooper Armour is actually quite resistant to bullets; in the rest of SW fluff it takes a lucky shot to the eyes to penetrate ith slug throwers.
As to what happened on Endor, the poor imperial bastards stationed there were fighting Ewoks. These little terrors cannonicly use force storms, shrink people, And have an artifact that can control half of the Empire. They work the 2nd hardest material In the SW universe; endor's trees, trees that can take the impact of a full speed jet bike without a scratch. The Ewoks can work these tree's with stone tools, and can lift them high into the air to use against combat walkers. And to top it all off, they wear solidified Wank!
Never underestimate the Endorian Horrors.
Also, the Clone Commando's blaster is leagues above what the Spartans normally carry.
In the end the Spartan could win thanks to his aguments and power armour, but this isn't exactly a huge curbstomp in his favor.
The clone's were augmented in a differnt way. Although they didn't have metal grafted on to their bones to keep them from braking, they did have their genes tampered with. They came from arguably the most leathal bounty hunter in the SW universe Jango Fett. Then the Kaminoans took his genes and tampered with them making them hyperlethal, brilliant, and resistant to severe pain. There training was deadly. No dummy round was used in their expence. It was normal for a commando to get killed in a training exercise. According to the Kaminoans this made to were the strongest survived to be put into teams if the Kaminoans didnt get to them first.
It was my understanding the gene modding they underwent was to make them A: grow quicker and B: obediant. As for where the genetic material came from, who cares? They may look like Fett, but without his experiance and training, that's all they have in common.
And since when is getting killed in training a measure of quality? None of the Spartan IIs were killed in training, it was the augmentation that got them.
Yes it was to make them grow quicker and make them obediant, but that was the extint of the modifications for the normal troopers, not the commandos. The Kaminoans took it alot further for the commandos. They not only have his genes (the ones that make him such a good bounty hunter) but the Kaminoans also added genes alowing them to be more effecient. If the clones were to weak they were killed off by the kaminoans leaving the lucky ones to begin training. Fett and a few of his closest friends trained the commandos. They used live roundes to signify actual combat. They made it were there was no mistakes. To make a mistake equals death.
