Your Ideas for glukken vendo weapons!
 
This is my idea for a vendo weapon that can be used only for glukkens. It would be called Smokers. And heres what the logo would be. "Smokers light, puff and spit and watch the stogey go boom. Or for a fun treat watch your frendly glukken go boom! Smokers they are a blow out!"

I can see it now since the glukkens are constantly smoking cigars and cigerets, the glukkens turn there cigars into deadly weapons. Like an emergency weapon against Mudokins like Abe. He presses a button on the machine with his head like the Lulu fund and out comes a cigar that gets placed right inside the glukkens mouth. Then a little lighter attached to the vending machine comes out and lights the cigar for the glukken. The glukken takes a few puffs of the cigar and then he spits it out and once the cigar hits the ground it starts to spark and then blows up. Now I can see a crazy thing happening to glukken where for some odd reason the cigar back fires. What kind of ideas do you have for glukken vendo weapons?:fuzblink:

(good idea)

What if Glukkons had mechanical arm attachments the vendo would be called Gluk Tanks because the machanical arms would be robust and powerful. With these arms they would be able to pick up things such as guns or they could simply use there arms as a battering mechanizm. The mechanical arms would operate Keneticly. The glukkon would simply have to think of what he wants for the arms to operated. The kenetic receptors on the arms will recieve the energy only from the host because it only operates when it senses the energy sent from the host.The Vendo would look different though the Glukkon would have to step in a small stall then press the activate button with his head the arms will then be attacht to the Glukkon. The arms are sealed on to the glukkon by special receptor clamps that will stay on the Glukkon. It can only be taken off by going back to the Vendo and pressing the button again wich will cause the machine to turn off the clamps and storing it back for others to use.

its something i have always thought of before:fuzconf:

Why do glukkons need weapons? The fact that glukkons walk on their 'hands' shows that OWI wanted to emphasise the fact that glukkons don't do anything. They have sligs to be their bodyguards (at least in AE, they do).

One, Two, Middlesboogie 06-30-2002 09:43 AM

Exactly. And if they didn't wear strait-jackets they wouldn't need bodyguards either, what with their claws and powerful kick.

I think Glukkons have the most powerfull weapons ever:
Moolah and Autority

try to fight agains that

paramiteabe 06-30-2002 11:29 AM

I am thinking of something more like an emergency resource. Like if all else fails like Sligs, Interns etc where they all fail in the protection of the glukken. He can simply go to this resource and simply defend himself from the impending threat. Not to say it would be truely effective but it would be considered a last resort for the glukken. Kind of like a Fire extinguisher. They are there just for comfort and they would use them only in extreme situations. Like if all of your security has been killed. A minor personal security for ones self just so the glukken can relax in such situations. Thats all. :fuzblink:

TheKhanzumer 06-30-2002 01:57 PM

Please... No self-loving glukkon would ever stoop so low as to use a weapon... That's what sligs are for.

Xavier 06-30-2002 05:19 PM

like TheKhanzumer said: weapons are extremely degrading.
they perefer now some security orbs. some deadly ones

M.O.M 06-30-2002 05:23 PM

Weapons
 
I think they should use their hands to strangle the enemy!:D

Xavier 06-30-2002 05:39 PM

they aren't souple enough and tere feet are atrophiated
so thay can't do anything.
remember the sad end of the brew master, he couldn't do anything:(

kleeng 07-02-2002 06:46 PM

Gluk's dont need weapons they need an emegency escape tunnel of some sort.

Xavier 07-02-2002 06:48 PM

yeah that's a good idea.
but isn't running away degrading?
like noy asume their responsabilities

Oddsville 07-02-2002 07:26 PM

I think if Gluks really needed to defend themselves (they would have to have there suit off.) then they could kick their enemy with either one or both of thier legs, kinda like a Kangaroo?:fuzsmile:

Mac the Janitor 07-02-2002 08:53 PM

That's a pretty cool idea, but what would they hold themselves up with? Their legs are tiny.

Xavier 07-03-2002 06:29 AM

well I don't think they can...
or maybe they don't have the reflex for.

why don't he turn the weel? cause he can't

I think that the Brewmaster is just watching the guage because time's already run out - like in the Boiler Run, I think it's meant to take Abe exactly three minutes to get through the SoulStorm Brewery Ender. That's why nobody's bothering turning off the boiler, it's too late.

And it may interet you all to know that in early design of Abe's Exoddus, Glukkons carried chainguns with them.

One, Two, Middlesboogie 07-06-2002 09:25 AM

Where the smeg do you find out these things, Max? I'd've loved to see that... it wouldn't fit in with the ideas about Glukkons we now have, but it would have made the gameply more interesting.
Are there any pictures that you know of of Glukkons with guns?

Xavier 07-06-2002 09:59 AM

can you post a picture of that max?
I don't have a picture with that.
awnsome

Wil 07-06-2002 04:01 PM

I don't have any pictures, I'm afraid, it was one of those really early thoughts that designers come up with that last long enough to be significantly interesting, but never gets anywhere. Like Mudombies.

Xavier 07-06-2002 05:27 PM

mudombies?
sounds good. I guess they are mudokon zombies or momies.
eurk, should be in fearitales

Oddsville 07-06-2002 05:32 PM

Hey they just might be in Fearitales! I never thought of that. Anyways Mudombies are basicly Mudokon zombies that where ment to wake up the spirits in the early plot of AE, heh got this little bit of info from Max.:fuzwink:

Xavier 07-06-2002 05:49 PM

I saw it too.
They must be sooooo ugly, and decomposated eark. I don't wan't to imagine it.
I realy want to see a game with is not from the quintology
