Are Kilrathi the loving sort of people?

Is that the recent Transformers series your talking about, the one with those anime-looking humans and drawing styles?

Perhaps one moral of that episode was something Blair was trying to flag, whether it was really correct to judge an entire race because of the actions of others of that species, and the prejudices that brutal war can create between different cultures. Grunt: 'How can we ever make peace with...

Re: Re: Nameless Kilrathi Because I'm a curious person.

Until I saw the movie, I thought Cyclonus was made from Thundercracker too. But since out of the two Transformers, Bombshell and Thundercracker, Unicron reconstructed Bombshell into Cyclonus first, and named him Cyclonus, then reconstructed Thundercracker in the background into a Cyclonus...

Unicron reconstructed Cyclonus from Bombshell, although it is difficult to tell. For a start, Unicron makes two Cyclonus robots out of Bombshell and either Skywarp or Thundercracker (impossible for me to tell, as the lights from Unicron's mouth obstruct the usual identifying colours), but the...

Not exactly anime, but... LOAF, speaking of getting hard to attach to shows with giant robots, did you ever develop a liking for the Transformers?

Guthrig Andropolos is the guy whose father died on board the Iason, right?

If any of you have watched the Wing Commander Academy TV series, does anybody recall the emotional problems the young cadet Gwen 'Archer' Bowman had with killing opposing pilots, especially Kilrathi? She would always hesitate to pull the trigger once a target lock was confirmed, and on several...

If anybody remembers, there was a cutscene from Wing Commander 2, where Prince Thrakhath is giving Khasra his assignment to destroy the Concordia, and then goes on to tell how his grandfather, the Emperor, will not allow him to go into battle. There's a partially yellow-furred Kilrathi standing...

KF-100?

What was the deal with Kilrathi pilots and ejection? In Wing Commander 1, SM2, when they captured the Dralthi Mk 2, Halcyon mentioned that the Terran engineers had attempted to install an ejection system on the fighter, but couldn't because of technical difficulties. Also, in WC1 and WC2, we...

The purpose of the cloaking device on the Shok'lar in Armada: what was its exact usage? The Shok'lar only kept you cloaked for about a second, then returned you back to sight. Was its only purpose as a countermeasure?

No, I think that's actually the Dioskerns from 'Lords of the Sky' they give the obsolete Dralthi fighters to. The Dolosians were just slaves they used to build the pyramid in 'Glory of Sivar'.

There is one other suspiciously familiar Wing Commander reference in the Ultima universe. In Ultima Underworld 1, if you manage to travel all the way down to the lowest level, in a large pit full of monsters there's a small bit of graffiti in a corner wall. It reads, 'Thou canst not defeat the...

I think it had something to do with the fact that the Retros had begun to mass-produce the Steltek gun, and the Kilrathi were so worried that they might give the weapon to the Confed war effort, that they struck a deal with the Retros. They would give them additional ships, while the Retros...

Salthi? Hmmm, must have been a heavily upgraded one to have been that deadly. But, anyway, while we're on the issue of Privateer, do you reckon that the Gothri heavies of WC2 were more deadly than those of Privateer?

I believe that it should take place in the game series, but not necessarily where Secret Ops left off. Preferably, I'd like it taken place somewhere between WC1 and WC2.

Commander Kahl gave the Retros a small amount of Kilrathi ships that could prove to be formidable at times, and always happened to be waiting for you at a jump point at some critical point in the game. Were those Kilrathi ships a variant of the Shok'lar from Armada?

There's also another vague reference in one of the Ultima game manuals, that talks about how the sorcerer Mondain, the Avatar's mortal enemy, allied himself with 'star-walking monsters of unparallelled savagery'. Of course, this passage is open to other forms of interpretation.
