|
Yo, professor, what is that thing?
|
|
Tremble before my steampunk arachno-monstrosity!
|
|
|
It's steam-powered? Why would you ever choose steam as your power source?
|
|
Because it's scarier this way!
|
|
|
Maybe I'm not getting this. What's “scary” about utilizing outmoded technology?
|
|
I'll squash you for that!

Pt. 2
| After tapping on Snake's exclamation mark
|
|
Like, ouch!
|
|
|
You see?! My colossal steam spider works! Ha-ha-ha!!!
|
|
|
Actually, my pain comes from imagining how much more efficient it'd be with an internal combustion engine.
|
|
|
What's your fuel source, dude? How do you boil the water?
|
|
Coal. It burns coal.
|
|
|
Oh great. So it's both an engineering AND environmental disaster.
|
|
|
Who's the nerd here?

Pt. 3
| After tapping on Snake's exclamation mark
|
|
|
…I'm just saying that a mechanical steering system like yours will never approach the reliability of fly-by-wire electronics.
|
|
|
The weight savings alone would justify the R&D layout.
|
|
|
And it's not like you'd have to fabricate the parts yourself. Off-the-shelf components would work.
|
|
|
STOP GIVING ME ENGINEERING ADVICE!
|
|
|
Just let me see your blueprints. I can help!
|
|
|
Stand still!
|
|
|
Why? So you can cough coal smoke at me until I develop asthma? God!

Pt. 4
| After tapping on Snake's exclamation mark
|
|
My steam spider is a failure. You can go about your outlawry, Mr. Snake.
|
|
|
No, bro, I'm here for you. Let's roll up our sleeves and make this thing work.
|
|
|
What about going full-on electric? You could be the Tesla of giant killer mecha-spiders.
|
|
|
It won't work. Lead-acid batteries are too heavy.
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
What?
|
|
|
LEAD-ACID? Is this the 1990s? Uh, hello? Lithium-ion has, like, a billion times the energy density.
|
|
|
I knew that!
|
|
|
You are the sorriest excuse for a mad scientist I have ever met.
|
|
|
I'll squash you yet!
