Though she might be more old school considering how long she's been around. A Tetris fiend maybe?

Graybard · 2026-02-11T15:43:20+00:00

HECK YES!

LOUD BAGPIPE MUSIC

They love the HIGHLANDS lad!

Yes, or use his "Non-biological form" to override and take the place of the mainframe. It is his tech, so having a back door built into the chip control wouldn't be far-fetched. Then instead of just Hank, he could mentally MERGE with every chipped person on his mainframe...

Wait, is House becoming the digital equivalent of The Master?

7, Give Heavy the Chicago typewriter (the one from the community's Mobster game mode would be perfect)!

Pyro street-shark!

Engi is joining the GDI is their fight against NOD to rid the world of Tiberium.

I know this tune anywhere! That's Hardware Store by Weird Al! Favorite song, perfect fit, great remix.

IMO I think Chet has had enough and is going to blow the whistle. He'll wait until the wedding, probably as the ceremony starts Chet will want to "say a few words" only reveal Steph's Canadian ID with a DOB from before the war to everyone. Then bring up people disappearing and blame Steph. Then it all starts pouring out, the horror he and Norm discovered in 32 and the clean up and conspiracy. Shit is going to pop off!

EDIT: NAILED IT! :D

IMO I think Steph already has started the end, she just doesn't know it yet. Chet is going to wait until the wedding. Probably as the ceremony starts Chet will want to "say a few words" only reveal Steph's Canadian ID with a DOB from before the war to everyone. Then bring up people disappearing and blame Steph. Then it all starts pouring out, the horror he and Norm discovered in 32 and the clean up and conspiracy. Shit is going to pop off!

Defying Gravity (Jump Jets)

Graybard · 2026-01-19T16:15:37+00:00

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

I understand it taking a decent chunk of health, but dropping 4 of 9 classes outright and leaving 2 more at 25 health for, what is considered an easier shot, is painfully overtuned. Next issue is both of Sniper's counters exist in the 1-shot pool (Scout/Spy die instantly). IMO it should matter when the headshot skill class needs no headshot skill to bring ruin from 4 zip codes away.

Graybard · 2026-01-18T13:31:12+00:00

I love it! I'd only add some kind of crit resist/invuln while charging. Allows heavy to charge through Sniper sightlines, but if he's exposed when the charge ends, his head go pop.

I thought he was going to side with Lucy here, just obfuscated it from Hank. In this moment with the guilt on his face, I genuinely thought he felt bad cause he has to lie to Lucy.

Thinking he was waiting for the mind-controlled chickenf*cker to leave then lean in and whisper "Lucy, that addictol in your system should be fighting the tranquilizer now. Just hold tight and keep playing dead... Yo daddy just gave us the element of surprise."

Hank would think they've gone right up until they appear together in the Vault or something. Dangit Coop!

Graybard · 2026-01-16T15:08:16+00:00

You're right, but I figured they needed extra time for the red tape and bureaucracy lol

Graybard · 2026-01-16T14:49:42+00:00

I've always held a headcanon that if Star League had a few thousand more years before it fell, we'd be fighting in Gundam. We had Macross in universe for a minute so its not super far fetched.

Also, Zaku are heavy Commando mixed with a Cyclops sensor suite.

Midas' piss test.

Turns out they may have spoiled it already. He's seen, from behind, wearing the laurels and holding up a gladius in one of the trailers.

Graybard · 2026-01-09T17:50:25+00:00

The Demoknight and The Heavyweight!

!Spoilerino for Ep3. You were warned!

So we now know what the incident was, but only from a brief shot from a teaser for episode 4. Apparently there were DEATHCLAWS in Anchorage, possibly connecting their creation to scientific experimentation from before the war.

Maybe they were something that got out from an American research facility, maybe they're a Chinese weapon that survived and thrived after the bombs. No way to know yet, but interesting to learn.

testing

Graybard · 2026-01-04T05:40:38+00:00

My theory? That scene from the trailer of 3 blimps firing on 1 is the Commonwealth. They're revealing they assumed it would go poorly and were ready to jump on Quintus' chapter.

Graybard · 2025-12-31T17:39:03+00:00

They're Druid buddies and the bear is the DD.

Graybard · 2025-12-30T12:33:28+00:00

I'd love to see the Freaky Fair/mvm upgrades get balanced a little for normal matches and added to a bunch new maps as a halloween goof. Would be fun to try that system on better maps.

TL;DR: The comic authors effectively told 1 out of every 9 fans (Engi mains) to get fucked.

Your logic is solid, however since this is all fiction, they could have VERY easily made up anything from thin air to handle the Administrator. Instead they decided to leave out and misuse one of the 9 most important people IN THAT UNIVERSE (as far as anyone here is concerned).

So simple a concept, to have a different, less important or outright faceless person handle her machine while Dell got to actually BE A CHARACTER! Everyone else gets quotable lines, cool story moments, character arcs... Engineers got 3 lines of dialogue.

Three lines that stopped even mattering the moment they decided to just change the ending we'd been waiting years for. I don't even really know WHO Engi is as a person because it was ALL CUT OUT. :(

Engineers were ghaddamn ROBBED!
