Tristan rode by in a mouse drawn chariot while shouting:
It would make no sense to not ID everything around it at all times. any oulandish object, like say a giant robot, is gonna be investagated closer/blown up.

That's the funny thing about Transformers. They transform. Some of them, like Megatron, transform into very small objects.

Laserbeak = Audio tape
Megatron = handgun (human sized)

I can easily see them being missed and getting to the surface of the Death Star. After all, the armor plate should deal with objects of that size easily.

The propaganda machine of Kennatsu's junta released this statement:
How about that giant Amoeba the Enterprise encountered? The one that sucks out energy from both machines and living things?

How did the Enterprise beat it, originally?

Tristan was naked while typing this:
While armor plate can no doubt withstand a handgun bouncing off it, remember that exploseves (like anti-matter) can also be made to look like harmless things. They are not going to let anything through without telling exactly what it is.

I think you're overestimating the security on the Death Star.

Likewise, Primus doesn't have actual stats, but Primus is generally recognized as being at LEAST equal to Unicron, and likely more powerful.

Antimatter depth charges or simular.

And the Replyobots combined to form Karnaj, who roared:

They fed it a sammich of "beat up USS Constellation's warp core exploding in it's mouth". With the Constellation attached, still. I'd hate to have been Commodore Decker making that call to the insurance company.

Well, the amoeba could only grow so fast, so even if it was siphoning off energy rapidly, a barrage of missles or a superlaser should would be more than enough to blow it apart.

---

Verily, Karnaj doth proclaim:
How did the Enterprise beat it, originally?

---

A probe was rigged with an antimatter charge. The Enterprise then went inside the amoeba and launched it at point blank range at one of the thing's chromosomal bodies (to prevent the cytoplasm from carrying the charge away from its target). They barely made it out of the creature when the charge exploded...

Ahah! But you do not factor in the shields on the deathstar, which would incinerate Megatron the minute he hit them. He would not slip through the shields just because he is tiny.

True. The shields might get him.

But he could still smuggle himself in. Have himself attached to the outer hull of a ship on its way to the Death Star, maybe. Or just have himself shipped to the DS in a package.

Anakha impressed everyone with:
And once he did, a metric fuckton of Stormtroopers and Death Star guards would pew pew laser him, and if that did not work, Darth Vader or The Emperor would show up to lightsabre him.

assuming their abysmal accuraccy lets them hit him before he steps on them.

Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael's account was hax0red to write:
Now, granted, someone with a lightsaber can apparently deflect the cannon blast from an AT-AT. That could be troublesome.

---

I would remind you that, in the movie, Megatron pulled out a lightsaber-type weapon of his own. There's a good chance he can deal with a jedi. He might not be as fast, but he's alot stronger, and has great reach.

He also doesn't need air to breathe. Blow enough holes in the walls, or make enough smoke, and he gains another advantage.

Back on the subject of world killers taking on the Death Star, how about a few rust monsters? They can't do much to a normal world, but the Death Star or Unicron? Heh heh heh.

And yeah, Megs' biggest advantage is NOT that he has a big gun. It's that he has a big gun and doesn't have any of those meaty flesh-thing requirements regarding air.

This insanity brought to you by Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael:
Start of one of the books where Luke became Palpatine's bitch for a while. Dark Empire? Something like that. Anyway it was in there. Luke deflects a blast from an AT-AT back at it, essentially mortally wounding the walker, then uses the "size matters not" to tip it over.

---

I can see that happening with a Force-wielder who is strongly adept at controlling the Force precisely. The Cannon from an AT-AT is still just a focused blast of energy. The Lightsaber intercepts the highest point of concentration, while the wielder uses the Force to prevent any "overflow" from reaching him.

Tipping an AT-AT over is entirely possible using the Force.

How.... Tristan.... uughhhhhh:
Keep in ming that storm trooper is sealed vs space (for a little while), space troopers carry proton torpedo launchers, and that that stormtrooper blasters were seen blasting fist sized holes from reinforced landing pit walls.

---

Stormtrooper blasters left big scorchmarks. Not big holes, as I recall. Also keep in mind that storm trooper weapons aren't necessarily reactionless weapons.

Like that time they channeled it through that clone guy and moved a star destroyer away from yavin.

Damn straight; I really wouldn't have it any other way.

I still love the sig combinations the two of you are using right now. Very nifty looking. Civil war is sweetness.
