    His reaction to G4 is Bullsh!t!!! That thing is cool as sh!t! A giant robo! I want One Piece joke, but I'm afraid that if I do someone's not going to get it and I get even more dumb warnings.

    I'm not sure what you mean. G4 was Alex's favorite (and mine) for that day. They sparred together. And Alex got to keep G4's sword.

    • Admittedly, Megalon is fairly powerful alongside its ability to burrow at mach 2 speeds. Even faster if you use Miniaturization I believe. But short of launching a preemptive attack on Behemoth I don't really see when Alex will have a use for it.

    Any of those, really.

    Those are all good and we can continue to save up!

    @vulcan321 would you consider extending your vote to the Nix-Hound?

    [X] Methuselah

    [X] 600 Methuselah

    Everyone be right about it being outclassed as an offensive partner by what he has already, but 2 quotes from its wiki made me rethink how he could be used, here it is.

    "Methuselah uses its mountainous body as a shield and sanctuary to protect or relocate entire populations from environmental catastrophes and Titan attacks.

    He can also effortlessly carry an entire human population on his back."

    One of the most pressing dangers of an Endbringer fight was the civilians being caught up in it from how sudden their appearances can be, Endbringer shelters can only do so much and there is still one Endbringer where hunkering down in one is pointless.

    The Simurgh

    A Conflict Engine that chooses cities with high populations, where the chance of even a partial evacuation of its populace is difficult, all so they can be trapped inside a perimeter to keep the outside world safe from those affected by her song, the uncertainty and terror of being the next Simurgh target a constant even with Alex becoming the Endkiller.

    This Big Boi could change that, with Grace, Bernie, his other partners and powers like Perfect Teamwork and Speed Amplification, he could relocate a cities worth of people onto Methuselah's back and trundle them on down to the next county before she finishes landing.
     
    Wouldn't Methuselah also wreck any city he enters? And how fast can he move anyway? If the Endbringers can just catch-up to him it negates a lot of his usefulness. Though I will state that thematically Methuselah fits a Keeper.

    On a related note, what are the odds of new Endbringers popping up now that Leviathan died? Was it ever established that the appearance of new ones was due to some protocol inherent to the Endbringers or is it literally just the product of Eidolon feeling unsatisfied with his battles?

    I hadn't considered where he would be summoned in that scenario, fair point.

    I suppose using Grant Trait with Kujo the ghost dogs intangibility could simplify some of those issues moving between pickup points for people to onboard the Kaiju Express, as Danny Phantom ghosts can turn things touching them like people and objects intangible too.

    I had no worries about speed, at least in the getting away part of that scenario, as even if Speed Amplification, which Boosts them to 3 times their speed now wasn't enough, he still has the Rabbit Talisman which works on everything. How that might affect the people he's carrying though, may not be so good for them...

    I just wanted to show that not every creature needs to be able to knock down Gods to have worth.

    It's ironic that we got Mire Squid as an option consider one of out last temp summoning was it's primary predator the Sirenjaw.

    As for votes…

    [X] Methuselah

    The point about it being extremely useful for mass evacuations won me over, while Bruce is faster there's a hard limit on how many people he can transport at once.

    [X] 50 Pocket Mammoth + Micro Bonus

    On the other hand if we end up not grabbing Methuselah I'd rather Pocket Mammoth than any of the other minor choices. Neither the Netch or Nix-hound are particularly useful and the Pocket Mammoth is at least cute while also being the cheapest one.

    When you're dealing with an Endbringer attack damage to the city itself is a distant secondary concern to evacuation, especially when you're talking about the Simurgh which necessitates the evacuation of the entire city anyway.

    As for speed, there are plenty of ways around that. Alex can easily triple his usual speed and if that doesn't suffice he has other ways to enhance him. Not to mention that something that size can cross a lot of distance in relatively little time regardless of how fast it actually moves.

    I'm 99% sure it's part of their function. Eidolon's influence over the Endbringers pretty much began and ended with accidentally waking them up and after dealing with them for so long I doubt he'd be unsatisfied after one of them died and accidentally wake up more.

    And assuming we get the same new Endbringers as in canon the potential collateral damage of Methuselah really won't matter when you've got Bohu redesigning entire cities and Khonsu reducing city blocks to dust.
