4th Smasher Punch

So, that was both the Overdevil and the Inspectors...

[Kouji had to admit, the Overdevil and the Inspectors were quite the workout for him and Mazinkaiser, but they both came out on top. However, the fact that the Inspectors wanted the Overdevil caused him some concern.]

...they're incredibly powerful, but still wanting more? What are they planning?

Cynthia's looking up at Kaiser thoughtfully.

"So, this must be...Mazinger Z? I'd heard stories about it, but it looks different than I'd imagined."

[mazin_power]

Oh, that? Oh, no. That's Mazinkaiser. [He points over to the actual Mazinger-Z] That's Mazinger-Z. I had no idea grandpa had built two of them, but I'm glad he did...

[gamerqueen]

Wait, there's two? Who's the pilot of the other one?

[mazin_power]

Uh... me? What, can't use either machine when I want to? Of course, since I got Kaiser, that DOES mean Z's free...

[saikyocivrobo]

If I had to guess?

An army.

[mazin_power]

An army?! Sheesh, they could run across most of Earth's armies on their own if they went unchecked.

...could they be that scared of us that they're doing this?

[saikyocivrobo]

They should be, if they have any common sense. This ship is the collection of the strongest robots humanity, and not just humanity, has to offer.

And yet, I don't think fighting us is the only reason they're building an army.

[mazin_power]

...they're probably going to do this to other worlds, too...

[saikyocivrobo]

Only if we let them here. Which obviously won't happen.

No, I'm talking about something different. If you conquer some territory, how will you hold it if there's only 4 of you?

[mazin_power]

...tch. Now, it makes sense. Using everything they can to hold everyone down so they can't fight back.

Though, it looks like it's still not perfect - they had those Zeta Pluses, but couldn't actually use them like that one person could.

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, they were probably piloted by unintelligent AIs, or something like that. That's nowhere near as good as a pilot who thinks.

[mazin_power]

Then again, as powerful as their units are, I wouldn't be surprised if they did try to do something to make them smarter. They probably got the tech somehow...

[saikyocivrobo]

I wouldn't be surprised if that'll happen, yes. But I've got bad news for them: they're the the only ones who are getting smarter.

"Mechwarrior Kouji!" Matthew calls out, looking up at the two Mazingers thoughtfully.

The fire-blasts of your Mechs, I have heard, come from the heat-sink units mounted on their chests! How exactly do they do that?"

[mazin_power]

Oh, well... [And insert technobabble about how it simply channels the heat buildup into the heatsinks and lets it fire out with the wonder of super robot science!]

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"Hmmm..."

Matthew looks up at his Nova Messenger...and the various solid heat sinks recently installed on it.

"Do you think my Nova's radiator panels could be modified to produce the same effect?"

[mazin_power]

Hmm... It's possible. Might take a bit of work...

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"Then let us begin promptly!" Matthew exclaims, seizing a wrench from a pile and holding it aloft!

"Now...what components would we need to install? What materials are your heat sinks made of, for that matter?"
