Was anybody at all surprised to find that the stylized dragon at the front of a crazy train was actually a flamethrower? :)

I'm evidently out of touch with my Inner Spark; it hadn't even occurred to me.

Wolf wins every fight but one, and in that one he dies, his fangs locked on the throat of his opponent.

i would be actively disappointed if they had not had something named a dragon that did NOT breathe huge clouds of fire. it's just such a perfect opportunity.....

i like him, he's a proper card. i hope he's one of the recurring characters that isn't shelved for months at a time.


this also makes me wish for 'mech mounted pyrotechnics in mechwarrior online.

Don't look at him like that, Agatha. God is all about the sharing.
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

You know...I think it says something when a Jaeger is actually telling people to get away, and is actually being
SERIOUS about the threat something poses..Agatha should probably pay attention!

Yes, but seriously: Even in the past, what would Dimo reaction to Agatha actually saying all the stuff she has to use?
It would be to smile, and get ready to join in the carnage. In this case, though, his reaction telling everyone to
RUN. Even AFTER Agatha starts into the Crazy Place.  I think we are about to see the first REALLY dangerous thing
ever!

i can imagine it isn't. sparks don't seem to be the most outgoing about spreading their research, after all and the hetrodyne don't seem to be different what with how little we actually understand how the castle works. besides, what more do you need to tell those fools past "i have created a vicious army to crush you"?

Every other time it's been brought up by someone, for example, Old Man Death, the fact that there was a process that changed people into Jaegers has been mentioned very casually, with none of the explanations expected if it wasn't something that most people knew.

the thing is that everyone who HAS mentioned it has either been Jaegers, or members of the town that are oldsters.

I took the whole thing as more of a warning. "Don't expect them to act civilized, because they probably don't even remember what that means"

Or alternately a "maybe they deserve more respect".

Or both!
