I can't wait to see him kill Truckzilla's ASSS!!!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'd pay to go to that Monster Truck vs. Mecha show!

And, once the bugs are worked out, we'll see the 200x models from Ford, Toyota, and Dodge out on the showroom floors!

The new Ford Shadowhawk...built Ford tough!

yesssss...

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

You kill me!

KILLyou?

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

Only in one on one simulation!

Outside of that, we like you too much to kill you off.

[c3fyn.livejournal.com]

Never!

Besides, I'm sure your mecha will have an autoeject feature to protect the pilot.

Oh. What? Mind was wandering.

What I meant to say was "That's the sort of thing folks come up with in Juneau."

And that I'd give my left testicle to own a working 18-foot tall mecha that shoots spikes and fire.

I say, what a fine team project something like this would be, what? I have a welder!

I know! And I still haven't used it for anything!

Fire is my favorite adhesive!

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

This is a welding project, most people lose their thumbs.

And if you CAN weld with your nuts, ummm. Wow?

[c3fyn.livejournal.com]

So, don't be surprised if an advance agent from Ford shows up at your door with a pair of shears and a contract.

And a neurohelmet.

yesss....

[sdemory.livejournal.com]

Well, since lefty's the small one it's all good.

Hook me up!

[keikaimalu.livejournal.com]

Too frickin' cool. I hope there's another article later telling us how well it works!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I have the fear that we might not see said article for a while....

One mechanical-romping-stomping-killing-machine-with-a-person-inside at a time, hon. But if you want to give the station wagon flamethrowers, I'm down.

[stuology.livejournal.com]

Oh, we have a Chrysler Seabring convertible to play with still too.

And it looks so much more badass than the Toyota prototype (http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/images/toyota_iwalk1.jpg).

Mmmmm...nailgun!
