Gonna have to go with Leonardo. Not only does he know his anatomy and is thus best qualified to find that special nerve bundle (assuming Nikolai didn't get wounded in the war and have it moved), but he designed his own air support and mech cavalry.

To top it off, only one of the two was named after a turtle.

This is probably going to end up being a "Scientist vs. Engineer" battle.

Leo had some awesome ideas... Tesla actually made his work.

Pretty insightful comments above me, but I have to agree with Bar. The pity is, Tesla gets little to no credit for some of his most important inventions (see Edison, Thomas A.). Not sure how one would measure such a thing, but he may well have been the most brilliant mind of the 19th and 20th Centuries!

Leonardo could definitely make stuff work. Check out his resume.

I went with Tesla just because he's so very much younger.

OK, granted, Leonardo invented modern anatomy, the helicopter, and may even have had a hand in developing a cog-driven computer. He was a genius.

Nikola Tesla build, tested, and used an Earthquake machine. That worked and, you know, made real Eathquakes. Anywhere. I think I'll take the guy that can make a building fall on the other guy at will.

Between the fortresses, catapults, and helicopters, who needs electricity? DaVinci by a mile, and a half-a-smile.
