What?
Thank you, corrected.
Not in my country, Colonial. Next you'll try telling me that gryphon has a 'f' in it!
That's lichen.
Seems wrong somehow
Thank you, corrected.
I'm still guessing some kind of space-fold thing. How it did so is still a mystery, but we can guess why. Whatever this thing is, it doesn't want them getting away. Though that still leaves us the question of what it is.
Including magic, of course. So whatever this was, it was purely technological or psionic in nature... Unless it has abilities outside of the big three categories.
...Attack drones of some kind? Interesting. And a logical alternative to splattering them with telekinesis.
Some sort of electrolaser, perhaps? Maybe there's enough ambient matter around the Mother Star to support ionisation. Still impressive.
And if nothing else, it is possible to assimilate technology, learning all information in any databanks it may have.
...Oh, that's just worrying. Some manner of hive organism. ...Made of glass...
Wait, wait, wait... This description sounds kind of familiar...
...Not ruling out my guess yet. Either of them (the Star Conqueror gut flora or the alien biomechanical entity...)
So, something that normally exists solely within the body of its maker-mother thing. Like a blood cell.
All right, not related to the Star Conqueror, then. Then how did it end up in it?
Possibly 'infected' by a Plant Elemental trying to form an avatar body...
...And that brings a nasty meaning to 'human resources.'
Not a complex intellect, I see. It has a purpose, it fulfils that purpose and enjoys doing so.
In the sense of what they're made of, I take it.
Circular logic. Sort of a 'It is what it is' definition. What do they call that?
Adaption and conversion, eh?
Sounds like the Dominators, perhaps? Using some sort of perception filter tuned to the 'antibody' constructs.
IT must be sooo annoying for you.
Trying to weaponise it/her/them, eh?
I'm guessing in the sense of using it/her/them as a transport vessel.
Yeah, looks like this fellow isn't smart enough to care or wonder about anything outside its purpose.
Bugger. Would have saved some time and effort.
That would be a 'no', then.
...Logical, really. If it can't escape you, it doesn't give away anything. It if can, it can reacquire that data from its' 'siblings'.
Just a matter of hacking the right spots, then.
So it came out as directed in order to contain and capture them. I wonder if the 'Aliens' are still here?
Since he can't even be sure this trick will work, after all.
'antibody' is the common usage these days
'Antibodies' are proteins. These are anti-body drones. They destroy bodies.
It really shouldn't work given IFF systems should be a thing.
Given the 'macro-scale internal biology' theme that's going on here, the crystal thingy probably is the IFF system.
No? IFF is an active system not passive. It would be sending out a signal that the automated system would pick up. It would also be the hardest part to falsify.
Makes perfect sense, thanks.
Do you count Starlight? Because of Saul's influence, she decided to stay with Vought under the belief that they can slowly change things from the inside.
Depends entirely on how it works; my body is an automated system with various methods in place to recognize foreign bodies, yet those methods can still be spoofed despite the fact that any intelligence directly examining the bodies in question would be able to easily discern that they are foreign.
He did create the anti-green central power battery, for what it's worth, so even before coming to maltus he would have had the technical expertise for the job - I think that he was hijacking a bunch of green lantern equipment so I'm not too sure that that method would have had the same spiritual requirements.
Ah, the most amusing part of a new job: orientation. And while a quick data-upload might get the gist of it across, there's bound to be thigns that need to be said out loud, if only to make sure thick former-Decepticon CPUs get it.
Ooh, A Duocon. That's always a fun concept to play with.
Perfectly reasonable. At least Earth came out of Unicron's wake-up call better than the Movie-verse did.
Dangerous work for big paychecks. Always good.
Ah, one of the more interesting subtypes of Cybertronian to come out of the recent years of Generations toys... Transformers with modular bodyparts. Wonder if she'll end up 'acquiring' parts from something on the job?
Nice. He was always a favourite, for many reasons. His motivations, his honourable nature, his stylish looks... The honking huge sword and cannon...
What happened to his brother, you may ask? Killed, reanimated by Dark Energon as a Terrorcon Zombie, and eventually shunted through a glitching Ground-bridge aperture into a subspace layer of reality... Who knows, maybe he's still running around Nevada as a 'ghost'.
I suppose it's one way to get upgrades on a budget. I guess her particular form of cybertronian can transplant parts with functionally zero chance of 'rejection'. Things like Transformation Cogs tend to be a bit finicky in that respect, after all.
Heh. Flywheels really putting the 'Duo' in Duocon, eh? Not surprised. Two bodies need two processor sets to operate them. And while his spark may or may not be split between frames, his mind definitely seems to be.
One thing the toyline didn't reflect about them. Two bodies the size of regular 'bots that merge into one is quite a bit larger than the norm. Especially when aircraft are involved.
Good question. Best to get details like that worked out before payday rolls around.
I suspect it comes down to a 'per spark' basis. A Special Team of five or six bots would probably get five or six shares, one for each of them.
Would a single-framed 'bot with multiple heads also suffer that issue?
Looking at you, DoubleCross.Just stay behind the tank and you'll be fine. You're more DPS anyway.
Heck, two brains might well enable him to shoot accurately at two different targets, especially if he has secondary optics to aim through.
No need to poke the Spark Chamber when exploring his extremities is sufficient. Remember, he's the size of a planet. Even the tip of his pinky finger is the size of... I wanna say... New York City?
Well, from what I could tell from the art, Nova's a little more solidly-framed. Or that may be variances in aesthetic.
That's what Pull and his brainmaster are for. Also, they can escort human exploration teams, maybe.
To be fair, his smallest miniature bodies were easily the size of Optimus and Megs. And there is a history of smaller Unicron figures to draw on. Such as the Cybertron Deluxe toy which turned into a tank-crab thing....
Still, for some of them... The taste of failure is bitter indeed.
Ha! That's assuming things go that well.
Big trauma button there for both of them.
Good to see them bonding over said trauma.
Custom body mods for your alt-mode, perhaps. I'm sure some 'bots enjoy that kind of cosmetic upgrades.
Now, you want to race? Humans have that covered in spades. I expect a Cybtertronian might make quite the rally racer, perhaps.
And his alt-mode didn't exactly look cargo-friendly either. Despite turning into a jacked-up SUV-truck hybrid...
Though I don't expect she's too concerned about things like the patient's comfort, or the aesthetics of her repairs...
Ah, good. He might be useful as a crew boss. If nothing else, he can intimidate unruly 'bots into toeing the line.
Man, Flywheels is a peach.
Both of him. So much 'slightly cracked big guy' energy they have.Among other things, road rules for the major nations you'll be working in, for a start,
And if they don't feel like tossing some tacical nukes, there's always Dreadwing.
I'm sure once you look up human motor sports, you'll be very interested.
I wonder if that also means that Soundwave got free from that dimension since Megatron has come back from his exile to take command of the Decepticons.
Possibly, not sure about the timing considering the Robots in Disguise stuff that had him both in the early episode cameo and then what the new autobot council was up to
