I have most of the manga in my apartment. I'm just missing one volume of S and one volume of SuperS.

They're enabled - SB is currently working fine for me. They might be expiring too soon, though.

Well, my observations of most anime have told me that even the most mundane, useless piece of tin can destroy the entire universe. For some reason, anime writers seem to have a fetish with destruction on an unimaginably and impossibly large scale. Anything from Super Sain Vegeta to Ranma's dung is fair game for a universal catastrophe.

Animation has an SFX budget as big as their budget for ink and paint. If ya got it, flaunt it.

Moon is considered the most powerful one, greater than either Pluto (with her temporal powers) or Saturn (with her planetkiller and innate healing powers). She can "heal a planet" (possibly a hint to what she'll do at the birth of Crystal Tokyo). In addition, she destroyed the Dark Kingdom reality, the extent of which is not known.

So I better be careful of schoolgirls in sailor suits...

Seriously though, I had no idea the manga was so much darker than the series!

The ending sequence of the first season in the manga is quite dark.

Thanks

This is easily the most hijacked threat on the board... and it always has been!

Lets wait till someone brings in something old-school like Blake's 7 or Dr Who...

Another planet-killer is a properly constructed true dweomer from the 2nd edition AD&D high-level campaigns book. It wipes out all zero level creatures on the entire plane.

It's possible that's what your thinking of.
It was definately an episode - I can remember the sound (unless my childhood imagination made them up... it was a long time ago) Do you have a link to this image??

Go to http://www.transformers.themoon.co.uk/DanKhan.htm
and look for the link on the Lefthand side for Devastator vs Omega... check out his other ones as well as they are all rather good. Mr Khanna is a talented artist.

[Q]I mean, come on, blaze bugs for tactical readouts. Bugs, for Christ's sake.[/Q]

I think the bugs are cool :p

[Q]And corral that makes up the hulls of ships, yet somehow manages not to burn off in atmospheric flight even though it must be receptive to light and EM radiation to grow, which means it can't be anywhere near as ablative as a piece of steel.[/Q]

You sure it gets it's energy from light and EM radiation and not something else?

[Q]Everything is handled by the yammosk war coordinator. Unless it has a few hundred thousand tiny eye balls that can run around in a vacuum, there's no way it could distinguish ships based on their gravitational nature.[/Q]

Well it might have, the Dovin basals, they are how they communicate, they might also have non gravitic sensors like eyes and shit wich they report back to the yammosk.

[Q]The difference in mass is so utterly small on a gravitational scale that it might as well be nonexistent. So Jaina might have 5kg less mass than some other guy, and her X-Wing might have 1kg more of paint. This is trivial.[/Q]

I know.

[Q]I've heard of crystal-based computers, and they have been shown to make crystals before (like the one Anakin put in his lightsaber), so I guess it's a possibility. But how would they program the thing? How could their civilization have even started? They didn't have pencils or paper![/Q]

The Vong might now have evolved like normal species, they and their technology could have been created by another conventional species for whatever purpose, wich would explain alot if so.

I can't believe nobody has devoted more than a mention to Abaddon the Despoiler's flagship from Games Workshop's wargame Battlefleet Gothic, which was properly titled the Planet Killer.

Abaddon "the Despoiler", a Space Marine officer now in the service of the Chaos Gods together with his legion, the Black Legion After 10.000 years of attempting to conquer the galaxy, Abaddon decided that it would be an idea to build a spaceship with the firepower to destroy planets. Using abandoned technological knowledge gained from the world of Lanamorgstein, a team of Tech-Priests designed the Planet Killer. I don't know the exact size of the Planet Killer, but judging by the fact that the Imperium of Mankind's cruisers are 3km long each - the Planet Killer is 4600m long if we are to judge by model sizes - but others imagine the Planet Killer as a 10km long vessel dwarfing other spaceships. (except for the largest space hulks, and of course the Eldar Craftworlds).

It is also unknown how it functions, but it uses its seven massive front-mounted cannons to project seven energy beams which together are powerful enough to destroy a planet. However, there is some weird, massive pit in the centre of the back hull, which contains some crackling energy formation which possibly provides energy.

If this sounds unrealistic, Games Workshop's official explanation is that the Planet Killer was constructed in the Eye of Terror, an area of space which doesn't conform to the laws of physics!![/i]

Bugger, somebody got there before me in mentioning the Vogon destructor fleet from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
