Just feeling sad for this guy. He is like the first level boss. Used to be strong and amazing, but now largely forgotten. Except when he is Garland.

I see what you did there.

Indeed, Firestarters are scarier than Atlases these days.

Those fs9 should lose the gas canisters from the upper arms and replace them with glowing energy coils when boating lasers ( the coils should glow the colour of the lasers you use ) that would look most excellent !

The gas canisters never made any sense. According to all the tech books flamers run directly off of fusion engine discharge.

Early BT lore is to be taken with a grain of salt. Or a bucketload rather.

Catalyst can retcon only so much.


PS: I frown upon the implication that Firestarters are ugly. In fact I think they are cute, with their stubby arms and gatorade/coffee canisters at the shoulders.

The 80's called. They made the art.



Wait that was a terrible joke. Let me try again.



The 80's called, they want their lunchboxes back.



I give up.

You never had a chance to begin with, Capper.

The effort is noted, though.
