Slam Bus Rodan

Slam Bus Rodan has panicked

The reports of his assimilation were greatly exaggerated.

Fascinating.

Mirror Chris. Basically Chris with a goatee. And he's evil.

I didn't say what side recruited him.

Maybe it's like the Last Starfighter. Chris developed such an awesome game showing how Earth fights back against aliens, he ended up getting recruited by an alien defense force to fight in an interstellar war!

We were unable to retrieve him, sir. Chris has been *altered* by the Borg.

No, man. That ain't what I heard at all... I heard that... the Bat got him.

You'll find out, Gauddlike, and when you do...

I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this, but I'm curious - how many people have been checking the boards twice or so daily to see if Chris made his triumphant return from a much deserved holiday to tell us some new news about this epic game!

Choose! Choose the form of the destructor!

Urban renewal?

Tier 5 - I wanna introduce you to a personal friend of mine. The M41A pulse rifle. Ten millimeter with over-and-under thirty millimeter pump action grenade launcher. Here. Feel the weight.

Anyone?

They were two popular "random" American names for soldiers in X-Com: UFO Defense.

In version 14, can you research that plasma cannon (rocket launcher like alien weapon) found in ground assaults?

Maybe you should base their look off of R.J. Macready from "John Carpenter's The Thing". He sent a rather nasty alien packing!

Or corporate raiders from Dimension X.

I was playing last night and during a few ground missions, I noticed something very strange. Instead of local national guardsmen, there were these civilians without any weapons in hand that shot laser blasts (!!!) out of their chests during the hidden movement combat phase normally reserved for friendly NPCs. Holy crap!

Chris, I didn't see it mentioned in your initial post... did the Reaper Zombie model get rigged, animated and rendered for v14?

With a little fundraising, we can do it!

Let's start a Kickstarter to include X-Com's greatest soldiers... Spencer Johnson and Calvin Homburger!

Well, I know what I'm doing when I get out of work today. Look out you mohawk wearing alien lizards!
