R2 sucks
[/Twiki]
[Huer] Twiki! What on earth do you mean? [/Huer]
[Deering] Don’t I look good in a skintight jumpsuit? [/Deering]
I don’t recall… but if Twiki has opposable thumbs… R2 is hosed.
You are all bastards, for now I have a mental picture of R2 chasing Twiky around with that cattle-prod like attachment out and shocking Twiggy in the butt occasionally.
And I have a mental picture of a young Erin Gray in a tight jumpsuit.
mmmmmmmm.
Twiki does have opposable thumbs, but his hands are rather primitively articulated. It’s almsot as though his designers just put some poor shlub in a tiny suit of armor or something.
R2 is a badass. Ignoring the flight capability, he’s clearly capable of climbing stairs, as well as both desert and forest terrain maneuvering. No idea how, but he does it. He even powers through swamps, provided there’s a certain lack of swamp beasts. Hell, he kicked that critter’s tail, didn’t he? Built in tazer and buzzsaw, too, as I recall.
And yes, he pretty much is swearing through the original trilogy. Listen to 3P0’s reactions.
He might survive Marvin, as he has shown enough willpower to tell people to buzz off. Maybe. Marvin’s clearly smarter, but R2’s more stubborn.
R2 has Tourette’s. :eek:
Who’d thunk it?
Of course, listening to C3PO’s jabber for a few decades might be the actualy cause…
No contest. It’s Twiki. A little known fact is that Twiki’s main offensive weapon is his "helmet" shaped head, and it’s built for ramming. Ramming long and hard, over and over. Plunging forcefully into his opponent’s armor again and again relentlessly until a crack appears, and then hammering that area until it widens and splits wide open.
R2 would be a pile of debris after Twiki’s pounding assault.
Twiki rams R2, Twiki gets electrocuted as the main force of the blow slides
But the stairs thing has made me think of the Daleks. (Who were shown floating up a set of stairs in one episode, though not, I’ll admit, in others.)
What would happen if we threw Daleks into the mix? Would Marvin have any effect on them? Could R2 hack them?
And, astro, is there any particular reason to put quote marks around “helmet”?
Twiki’s bulbous helmet is nothing compared to Artoo being slid rhythmically into the astromech socket of a X-Wing.
Hey, Artoo’s armored, too. He’s taken blasterfire, and he’s fully spaceworthy. Heck, after taking 220 to his main data interface, he just needed a circuit breaker reset before he was up and running again.
R2 would take Twiki anytime, anywhere. Period.
And anyone who doesn’t agree can bite my shiny metal ass!
Homer: Hey robot, get your fat metal ass down here!
Bartender: First of all, I’m not a robot, and second, I got this metal ass in 'Nam, defending this country for lazy jerks like you… now what’ll ya have, partner?

There’s nothing wrong with either bot that a cigarette-box sized chunk of C4 couldn’t cure.
Bwahahahahaha!
Amen, brotherbot! I say we give’em each a quarter and point’em toward a Suicide Booth.
