Between a Defiler and/or (forge/mauler)fiend to the smaller SM version of the powerfist?

Do you mean fluff wise, or rules wise? I"m confused by this question. Confused and..enraged!

Rules-wise, a power fist is a power fist. It's covered in the BRB.
Walkers aren't affected by them being unwieldy.

I belive monsterous creatures are not affected by them being unwieldy as well as it doesn't double their strength to ten. IIRC

Maybe. Dunno. No book in front of me and I don't have any Monstrous Creatures.

The only reason why I argue that it doesn't, and bear with me since it is a very odd argument, is that the Dreadknight has the Nemisis Doom Fists (*sighs...*) as well as the psychic power Hammer Hand.

He has hammerhand because you can deck it out without the doomfist, making the extra str useful. You know... GKs must have all the options just in case the do need them

Which is why I assume it has Hammer Hand in the first place.

Would they still be restricted to hitting last or do they go @ the same In as something else they are attacking that's the same in?.

I may be confusing Walkers and Monstrous creatures, so check your rulebook.
But if they ignore the Unwieldy special rule, then they go on their normal initiative.

Yes, Walkers ignore Unwieldy as well.

DCCWs and PFs double everythings strength now. The restriction on Walkers only for DCCWs is no longer in the rules. PFs have always doubled everythings strength.
Walkers and MCs ignore the unwieldy special rule when using a weapon, so there is no real difference ruleswise between a DCCW and a PF on a walker/MC.
