![]() ![]() The Archetype might have been a Super Prototype, with the Bigs being (relatively) dialed back Production Models.I can't think why it would be so flexible but the speed makes sense since while Bigs are slow but they have heavy weaponry and armor to slow them down. The Big archetype is extremely fast and flexible but the Bigs themselves aren't.At first I thought this was an oversight by the animators, but then I realized: they're dirt-poor he's secretly giving her his food. In episode 11, when the sax player and his blind girlfriend are eating, there's no food on his plate, but he makes motions and noises with his utensils as though he's eating.Roger's Catch Phrases "It's Show Time" and "Action" make a lot more sense at the end of the series.He was thus found guilty of this sin ("Ye guilty" in contrast to the usual "Ye not guilty") and was himself slain by the executioner's weapon he tried to abuse. Alan Gabriel tried to use the instrument of God for murder.Hence "Ye Not Guilty." Alex thinks he IS a god and thus the practice falls apart. It's not the fact that Big Fau shuts down automatically due to missing components, but is actively rejecting Alex with the "Ye Not." An executioner's weapon would be blessed by a priest, so when it was used, the executioner's role was ordained by God, and thus, not a murderer. When Alex Rosewater tries to start up Big Fau, Big Fau goes through the whole "Cast in the name of God" stuff before going into "Ye Not" before shutting down. ![]() ![]() Which just goes to show that killing the only two people who could possibly Avert No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup for Dorothy-1 was rather shortsighted. Not to mention, those Megadei were designed and built in a relatively short time-span by people with just enough memories to get them working at all, while Dorothy-1 was built over many years by a trained engineer who was working from a proven (pre-Event) design (albeit not a particularly deadly one-its gentle, dexterous tendrils and burrowing drills suggest that it was originally for use in disaster areas, to rescue survivors).And in another jab at giant mecha cliches, Beck wasting time boasting before actually making an attack with the second mecha gave the Big O more than enough time to lay the smackdown on it (the first one did try to put up a fight, but its weapons were completely useless against the Big O). Why did Beck's Megadeus' go down so ridiculously easy in "Beck Comes Back" and "The Greatest Villain"? Because they're the super sized equivilent of a ED-209 they're flashy toys meant to look more intimidating and ego gratifying than anything meant to be practical fighting machines. ![]()
