from the direct to dvd sequel "Dragonheart: a new beginning", Drake is the son of Draco, found by left in the care of a monastary, until events lead him to take his first steps out into the wider world, and learn what it means to be a dragon.

I've only seen one pertinent clip from the movie, but Drake wasn't that hard to build, since he's a scaled down Draco, with the addition of the ability to breathe extreme cold. i'm not quite satisfied with the thagomizer, but it'll have to do

much like narsil, I statted up Twilight's male lead for one express purpose. okay, two purposes if only to get it out of the way, but first and foremost, so that he may be destroyed.

originally, i tried building him like i would another PL8 vampire, but it's just not feasible with him, thanks to meyer throwing out any conceivable weakness. so, i saw no reason as to apply the typical criteria for undead. and even then, this was a chore, thus why he's pl9.

so, much like psycho mantis did with the 'red blur', I am extending an open invitation to anybody who wnts to put this suckhead down. preferably matchups where he has some small chance of survival, if only to prolong his suffering (IE: squash matches are over too quick)

I think my wampyr Victor would be a fair match for him, at least, for three rounds. Especially since his will save is crap, there's little chance that Edward's puny mind could forestall his judgement at the hands of a real Child of Perdition.

Gentlemen, since the beginning of written history a nation's power has been measured by the size of its standing army. Tonight that chapter will be closed. The traditional army, to say nothing of the United States, will become extinct, laid low by a cripple, as the general so amusingly implied, and mechanology.

"But my friends, that tank is just a little hors d'oeuvre compared to what the country's greatest scientists are cooking up for me next. So, if I have piqued your interest, bring one thousand kilograms of your country's gold to Spider Canyon in ten days time."

so i've been sitting on Mecha & manga for a couple of weeks now, and i figured it was high time to give the mecha construction rules a test drive. sure, I could have picked an iconic anime mecha, but since i'm on a live action kick i decided to stat up the infamous Giant Mechanial Spider of Wild Wild West*

the tarantula in itself wasn't too hard to build, as the real issue was when I built Dr. Loveless to go with it, and my attempts to fit him into a Pl7 framework while keeping the spider at pl8.

incidently, having built the thing, i'm wondering how it would fare against the civil war heros from Worlds of Freedom

* the full story of which can be explained by looking up "Kevin Smith Talks about superman" on youtube. no direct link due to NSFW language.

[Nareik123]

Kruez, you want to see Edward beaten, crushed and humiliated by a character who is only one PL above him? The link is here! viewtopic.php?p=598326#p598326.

The skinning, it involves a suit, a huge hammer, a vampire, and a lot of knockback...

[Kreuzritter]

well, that's two entrants thus far. anybody else want a go?

[MisterO]

Welp I'm going to bring out Legion for her world debut (which reminds me: I still got to write a background for her) having her put a beating on Edward.

EDIT: You know what I just noticed? You have 'diehard' twice in Edward's feat list.

[Jalinth]

While I don't have any hate of Edward, having never seen the movie or read any of the books, I do have a build or two that I'd love to test out. This sounds like a worthy cause, and so I may take up the Gauntlet.

I'm glad it's going to be open for a couple weeks, because there is no way I'm getting started on it this weekend.

Now to do some research to find out just how and why Edward has aroused such ire.

titular heros of the Super Mario Bros movie, Mario & luigi are just a pair of brothers from brooklyn who get hurled into an alternate dimension where humanoid diosaurs rule the earth. now not only do they have to find their way home, but they've got to rescue Luigi's gal Daisy (secretly the long lost princess of Dinohattan) from the clutches of the evil Boss Koopa.

mechanicly, they're quite alike, except that mario's a bit smarter while luigi's better looking

[Karma]

well, that's two entrants thus far. anybody else want a go?

Edward vs Agatha.

I'm not completely sure I did the grappling part right, though..

Oh, and in addition to the two Diehards thing, Edward has vampiric on his Drain Con, but I think vampiric only works with damaging effects.
I used the point from Diehard to add a linked Strike 1 which had the vampiric extra. Or you could use Transfer instead of the vampiric Drain.

a bit of a break as summer movie mania winds down, as I present the result of giving Heavy from Team Fortress 2 a suit of power armor with enough dakka to possibly satisfy even a pack of 40k Orkz.

originally, I was gonna build him as the bionic heavy, but Heavy Metal works better, so thereya go

Keep up the excellent work Kreuzritter!

[Kreuzritter]

a reminder, you have 9 days left to kill ed deader than joe smith (i apologize to all mormon readers, but srsly, that book series is making you look like $cienology)

I suppose that part of the problem is choosing just how best to subject Cullen to the most humiliating demise possible without breaching the Think Tank's general PG-13 rating.

Perhaps one should pit him against Dracula, literary forefather of all Vampires, and then have the old leech tell him exactly what he thinks of the Younger Generation. . .
