That 'AI' voice and behavior last update kinda makes me think that there actually is no AI and Doom is instead somehow manually managing all of those cars. Seems within the bounds of a powerful Toon doing a super-crit and it would mean that any such car is also a spy, which is a fair tradeoff for having to listen music he doesn't like sometimes.
 
Frog head is Frobo, placing the bet now.

Or at least the head of a Frobot, which has some serious tech inside in the first place.

But consider what frog-head robots we know.
 
"Kaiju! Is, I believe, the common term." Doom said, beginning to pace simply because it was necessary he do so. "Foreign term." He sneered. "Yet very evocative to the youth, they say."
Literally me:


If we are literally gonna start having kaiju up in this here quest, then I think this quest will automatically become my favorite.
While it wasn't a great movie, the Mighty Joe Young remake had some great effects on the gorilla. Giving him a tragic death in DQ means he really goes back to his roots as a follow up to King Kong.

Of course, the whole "we shot the ape and now everything sucks" meme takes on a new meaning these days...
That's the butterfly that made this bad timeline. Mighty Joe Young is killed and suddenly a sapient hat is running Florida... Actually, that isn't out of the norm for Florida.
 
If we are literally gonna start having kaiju up in this here quest, then I think this quest will automatically become my favorite.

In the Big Hero 6 TV series Fred uses his rich people money in order to commission a fully functional Kaiju Mecha based on the fictional Kentucky Kaiju franchise.

He might still have built it in this timeline or perhaps will build it after a few personals.
 
Okay, I know he's technically a muppet but the Wilkins coffee mascot is basically the template for an evil toon, it's no wonder the Judge is a fan (perhaps he is the Wilkin's coffee guy in disguise? Roger Rabbit never established his original identity in the movie, though I know some other versions of the story did).
Nah. The original script says he's "the guy who killed Bambi's mom". If I had to bet on who he is in this quest, assuming they bother and don't just leave it as a "Nothing Is Scarier" type mystery...Well, there is some symbolism that suggests he was once one Pistol-Packin Possum, a fictional Toon we see a poster of in the film. He's the only Maroon toon who doesn't appear in the movie. When Eddie's interviewing Maroon, he looks at the PPP poster, and attention is drawn to the reflection of Doom's gun, which matches Possum's own. Possum has blood-red eyes, a fedora, and, as a rodent-type character, he'd probably have a high squeaky voice...Hm. One could even presume that may be part of Doom's motive for being who he is: Perhaps he was an early star who was supplanted by younger, more successful acts, like Roger, and went down a dark path. For reference:

At this point it seems likely that Sycorax plan consists of three primary components:
1. Create superpowered monsters, likely by transforming human supers.
2. Gigantify the monsters using knowledge gleaned from Mighty Young Joe's corpse.
3. Control the super kaiju monsters using an adapted version of the insect control tech they want to collaborate with us on.
=>4. Profit and/or World Domination

I personally like the PPP as the answer in verse as the out of verse semi Canon? Answer of " baron von whatever" is alot less interesting. Heck maybe the weseals were his pack when he was Packin? Might be a way to investigate who doom really is if/ when we discover he's a toon

You forgot how Primal ties into this! It could be in part 1. but also might be used to make the Super-Kaiju's more feral.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to infiltrate Sycorax.
 
I'm surprised no one is talking about Dr. Carver considering he's a an evil mad scientist peanut man that wants to replace humanity with nut people.

 
he wants to actually get the thread to comit to infiltrating something instead of being world police
And we can do that by going after Doom. You know Doom, the person we've been actively antagonistic with and just received intel is doing something big right after making an unprecedented leap forward with his AI programs?

iirc he's fine with either. Syrocax is genetics research+figuring out wtf is up with zaibatsu and doom is doom+AI
 
Infiltrating Sycorax I think has priority over Doom since, well, San Fran is set to explode and we'd need to prepare to send an evac team for Wendy if necessary. Maybe not Mez if she is messing with Supers though.
 
Infiltration takes time to become really effective that we can't necessarily afford before the timer runs out on helping Wendy, though. It's really too bad that the Zaibatsu is the only decentralized Kingdom, otherwise we could infiltrate Sycorax and have someone try to get information on Funtelligence at the same time.

This makes a lot of sense with the moves they've been making.

Even if we don't help them get the control tech just having the ability to deploy giant enraged super mutants gives them a bunch of power.

We still can do that. We get two Intrigue actions a turn. Three, if you count Monogram, who, thanks to Agent Alphabet, is actually pretty good at it now.

You know, if we ever get to Ally state with David, we could always let him be the infiltration guy while we act as the Overt Eeeeeevil Army that just happens to stop a lot of nasty things out there.

Recent events...I like David. I want him as an ally, and I CERTAINLY don't want him as an enemy. But I don't trust him. At least, not THAT much. Keep your guard up around him, whatever you do, even if you're his ally.
