Ha!

{ROFLOL}!

[seawasp]

If they program him right, he'll go off the rails pretty soon, and develop the megawattage cannon!

[jeriendhal]

Well, that could be easily taken care of by ground units and aerial bombardment...

Oh, wait...

[seawasp]

Obviously the solution is to create a giant three-headed dragon. What could go wrong, Groupmind?

Sector 30 is closed until further notice. Repeat, Sector 30 is entirely closed

"Monster Zero was one of the stupider entries anyway."

"Shut up, Kieko."

Although technically he'd be MechaGodzilla...

I thought the Morphs were mostly biological. Royce? Are even the advanced morphs machines underneath? (i.e., if hulk rips one apart, do we have a gory scene, or a dismantling-of-machine scene?)

[jeriendhal]

Morphs are mostly machine. Skin and fur are cosmetic, only "alive" in the most basic sense, allowing for some self-repair. Cut though the top layer of skin and fur and you'd find a basic nutrient feed layer keeping the skin alive, and a plastic and or aluminum frame underneath for basic morphs, plus some biomorphic padding for hugability depending on the design.

So they aren't androids, in the sense of the original definition of an artificially created biological lifeform, or the newer version like in Transhuman Space, of something basically printed from biological components.

[seawasp]

Ah, so this WOULD be Mecha-Godzilla. That has OTHER failure modes.

[seawasp]

Oh, and it's "Gorilla-Whale" :)

[jeriendhal]

Argh, you're right.

I may not be QUITE the Gojira fanatic that, say, Bob Eggleton is, but I'm rarely wrong when it comes to my kaiju lore!
