Omnomnomnivore posted:I finally got around to reading the Real Science Adventures TBP and Oh My God this Bruce Lee story is everything I read robot comics for, thank you. There weren't enough hats in that TF2 short. There also aren't enough robo themed hats in TF2. Which gets me to thinking. What is it like to have a bunch of liscences floating out there? How many agreements do you have, and what degree of control do you maintain?

Covok posted:Odd thought, but I remember once that Atomic Robo told Dr. Dinosaur to downplay the raptor angle because he is based on a fictitious depiction of velociraptor. While that may be true, ignoring the lack of feathers, he does look like the Utahraptor, if you go by the holotype specimen. He also bears a lot of similarities with deinonychus. Of course, Dinosaurs don't have larynx and he is a totally genetic experiment, but just felt like mentioning since I like dinosaurs. Don't know if anyone ever brought that up. The maniraptors didn't have a larynx, but I'd be a little surprised if they didn't have a syrinx, which is the bird equivalent of that organ. It can do a serviceable job at replicating human speech, although it isn't evolved to be able to replicate the volumes a mammal can. That doesn't mean a syrinx can't make very loud noises, it just can't make very loud human speech noises. So, actually, Dr. Dinosaur's weird speech bubbles make a lot of scientific sense, since he'd be using organs not quite designed to make those particular noises. They're about the only part of the good Doctor that makes any sense at all.

Seriously, if the foil cover doesn't come with a ton of pouches and faces with WAY too many lines on them, what's the point of having a foil cover?

Gunjin posted:Ahh yes, the mean streets of Fredericksburg, home to a bunch of colonial reenactment tour sites that VA school children are ferried through every year of grade school, civil war battlefields, and a million lovely antique stores for old folks to paw through to find the best tacky nick-knacks for their colonial brick homes. All in search for the long lost Aunt Gert.

Hyperactive posted:Fun fact: I would test RPG systems by seeing how closely they could model Atomic Robo as a character. HoL was the first one to produce an acceptable version. I never found another until the Fate iteration of Kerberos Club. Well then, I have to know what Robo's Nuts score is.

It's not really Germans. It's Venusians pretending to be Germans! There is one thing that is bothering me, though. Why is there so much weathering and rust on something that has been in a vaccuum for the past 70 years?

So, uh, in the Atomic Robot universe, what with his company being called Tesladyne, who is the premiere manufacturer of high end electric automobiles, and are they also involved in spaceflight and pneumatic mass transportation?

High velocity dust can scratch glass lenses, and Robo doesn't have a living cornea that can heal itself.

Polaron posted:Based on what I know about Japanese tanks from that time period, this latest comic seems 100% accurate. Maybe that motorcycle has... um. gently caress. I don't have any idea how a Japanese tank could conceivably keep up with a motorcycle that is even remotely capable of moving under its own power.
