They also have the iron giant. That was my childhood. And they team him up with superman.
Though the free to play is a red flag.

Neat.

No sign of Rulk even though I think he was confirmed.

@Dustcan
Red Hulk is General Ross right?

The guy who played him passed away a few months ago so i think that might be why he isn’t in it.

The first and most well known Rulk, yes.

And dang. RIP.

It’s like the now let’s get you back to bed meme

Mechs are cool but they’re pretty dumb in terms of real world application.

This thing is badass to be sure:

But it would be a fucking pain to maintain and repair.

You’re better off with a 100 of these things in the long run instead:

Russell t davis:
For contact day pretty much jumped to conclusion that Yasmin finney is rose Tyler and not just someone else called rose

Mechs are unfeasible less because of maintenance logistics and more because of physics.

Thanks to the square cube law any robot of any respectable size will crush itself under it’s own weight.

@Dustcan
Robots and Mech’s about the same size or slightly larger than Humans are pretty much the most plausible type:

Like the Deebee’s from Gears:

Yeah, human size is close to the limit on what a bipedal form can handle. There’s a reason why larger land animals are either quadrupedal or, in the case of the mega sloth, still spent a lot of time knucklewalking.

Elephants are more or less the biggest you can get on land. After that you need be aquatic and let water’s natural buoyancy pick up the slack. Literally.

Which is lame.

@Dustcan
Oh shit, that means this Madman from RDR2 was actually onto something:

@Dustcan
Are sauropods a fucking joke to you?

How big were they?

@Dustcan
Pretty big, by our approximation.

O-kay then. I was very wrong on elephants being the cap on land sized animals by far.

Still a quadruped, so at least that’s right. Though now I’m wondering how bigger you can theoretically get with a bipedal spine.

@Dustcan
really fucking big

If either Gadget or Zipper turn out to be the twist villain in the new Chip ‘n Dale movie, I called it.

Last time a mouse girl was a twist villain the respective fandom didn’t take it well:

@CaptainXtra
To be fair, Thieves in Time had a pretty bad story overall. The twist villain bulls##t and the downer ending were just the icing on the cake.

@CaptainXtra
Oh yeah, I forgot how much that infuriated me.

@Penguin Dragneel
Plus when you recall that one of the elephant with hypnotism as one of her power and to me that feels like a wasted opportunity to use that a plot point. They could of use that to why each boss were there with Penelope being the huge red flag that somethings up.

Tbf, buying into an idiotic scam because he doesn’t know any better is totally on brand for the character.
