  1. Thanks Seto... my apologies if I keep bringing up the Protoculture's possibility of survival, but at least on Earth, they've found remnants of species that had previously been declared "extinct". I was seeing some faint possibilities that perhaps a surviving group (albeit small) could have escaped annihilation by being in some "pocket" secreted away by circumstance or happenstance.
  2. Must be fun when playing "20 questions". I'm supposing that by now, certain entities in the NUNS as well as the major corporations have been studying Vajra remains. Interesting... is it possible that there might be at least one or two motherships out there that could have Protoculture survivors aboard them?
  3. MGS 1 was the best. Cardboard boxes at 40 paces. Good points. I assume that because the Protoculture must have had at least a communications hardline to the Zentraedi to issue orders that wouldn't be intercepted by their enemies. Hmm... maybe instead of "hive mind: like they were thinking, minimize the risk by only doing it long enough for a "push notification" of "would you stop killing everything in sight already?!"
  4. Do you still need scissors for Hari Kiri rock? 61? Playing Woke Up This Morning in the background (in Zentraedi), right? Combining these points together: could their original operations have had to do with securing something involving the Vajra? Seeing as Protoculture were seemingly obsessed with them, I wonder if their civil war early on required craft designed to seem "normal" amongst the Vajra? Tragedy upon tragedy, given that those that are free have the capability to go on to some tremendous things (Millia comes predominantly to mind). The only thing that did anything to help end it (and even then, just locally at Earth!), was Minmay's singing. And that's not a guarantee when dealing with the Zentraedi. Sometimes, I wonder if it were possible in story to be able to use the old Protoculture systems to transmit a peace message to them... but I think it's been pointed out that orders for them to stop didn't work when repeatedly sent.
  5. I have to avoid this site; it's a good site, but it reminds me of everything I cannot afford! 😭
  6. No more Meat Loaf... Guess we'll have to settle for steak.
  7. I would get Kirk and Khan as replacements for the 90's versions in my diorama.
  8. Sadly, I have yet to see them at my local Walmart.
  9. Did you remember to talk to the Colonel about that on the CODEC? ☺️ Zentraedi drive-by? I suspect as mecha became more and more used, they really didn't need infantry forces. Not to mention a mech could carry more firepower and armor anyways, plus increase effective range. I'll take "All of the Above" for $500, Alex. 😉
  10. Yeah, I'd imagine that would require a lot of energy and would thus limit the duration. Useful for emergencies, but unless they could up the average power output, not much beyond that then? Also makes me think of another possibility: putting all of that into beefing up the shield valks like the 11 and 19 have on their arm to tank shots heavier than from a fighter. (yeah...I have an entire bag of half-baked ideas just waiting for rainy days... )
  11. Agreed on all counts; if they can simply do that,k then they should have a solid series and potential winner. GOod point: as long as they can keep that straight, they should be okay. It's one thing I never liked with Got: nearly everyone was a Jerkface.
  12. While I understand where you're coming from on this ( they're doing "go with what works"), I think they badly overestimated the holding power of their original characters, and seem to be flailing here. Can we at least agree that if they try to bring in Wesley Crusher, then the series is in Absolute Panic Mode™ and they are desperate?
