I'll start with the Colossus:

(I think the watergun has the better design after all. ;)
Ok, the firepower differs a bit... :drevil: )


Well, the Sobek looks like a watergun too IMHO:

And now the fish designs:

Everyone knows the Big C is a raygun...

But the sobek doesn't look as much like a watergun as that pic... not to me atleast. But then, I have a filthy, filthy mind.

The Mentu, to me, doesn't bear any resemblance to the stingray...

I have always thought that the Apollo beared more than a passing resemblence to the original Galactica.

The Sobek looks like a dart, or maybe an arrow.

But I think Volition has some odd fascination with vacuum cleaners. Everyone knows the Hatshepsut looks like a Hoover -- but how many people think the Aeolus looks like a Dustbuster? :p

It's pretty close actually. A dustbuster crossed with my VCR remote.

Oh, I thought it was common knowledge. :) Someone posts about it every so often. I think it was first noticed back on the VBB.

If only HLP weren't down. I'd try to find the freakspace comics with the Ares that had chicken legs instead of the extrusions on the side!

My young padawan you have much to learn about the ways of the SSX.

We're pretty much the guardians of everything these days.

You're talking about one of these though, ne?

That'd be it. I searched on google, but came up with nothing and soon quit. :p

Yeah, I had them all hosted on our servers. Better safe then sorry, after all I wasn't going to keep them on my hard drive forever.

Timmy is my favorite though. He's hosted as well (one image broken...hmmmmm....must talk with website-braniacs)
