Okay, so I don’t know if this is appropriate or not but I really think that “The Tectonics” would be a great name for for the Savage Races Champion Group.
I mean, Gastonia has “The Peace-Makers” so wouldn’t Harky’s elite force need a name as well?
Can’t possibly be cheering for having won a decisive battle following the clusterfuck that was B’ial Vezk.
Can’t possibly be cheering for seeing their champions stand proud and tall, and match their counterparts point for point.
Can’t possibly be cheering for continuing to be alive after a bloody melee, a protracted siege, and being on the wrong end of a pair of warships which nobody even knew existed till it was too late to run away.
No, obviously they’re cheering because they’re bloodthirsty chucklefucks with no concept of joy beyond the next bout of pillaging and burning.
Yeah, even though I don’t like the guys, you can’t blame them for being glad that they won, and more importantly, are still alive. 99 reasons to dislike them, but that ain’t one.
He has a right to hate whatever he wants. I, in turn, am free to point out when the reasons he cites for doing so boils down to cherry picked, spurious nonsense.
That was an Imperial pilot helmet. They also dress in all black.
Although how an Ewok got his hands on one is the better question. After all none of fighters should have been that close to the ground and all “debris” from the battle would have been in orbit. What would add to the disturbing factor is if a Rebel pilot retrieved one and then hand it over to the Ewok for use in that macab helmet xylophone. (The dangers of letting the movie prop-guys use the “leftovers”.)
Obviously, there were Ewok pilots involved in the orbital battle. Their starfighters are made of wood and vine. They launch rock rockets using great big slings. They’re *unstoppable*.
It’s not like some of the fighters might have just been winged and crashed on the nearest habitable rock, or that there might have been some pilots stationed on the planet
…and you’ve made it very clear that the only thing that could stop you from finding some reason to hate them more each page would be if that page held the revelation that they’re actually human, so, have fun with that.
You seem to have a problem with people having difference of opinions than you, and disguise it as that you can’t stand people that hate something you like.
Hah, I hadn’t thought of that. But then, Penk seems to kind of expect it given his speech before leaving. You don’t give a rant like that to someone that’s not going to be able to spread it around, after all.
The portal was in the center. I feel like the tectonics saw it. And I don’t think there was much of a time gap between “you’ve been pwned” and “magic portal”
I like how Goblaurence still isn’t smiling after all that. He’s so close.
On the other hand, Auraugu would normally seem like the celebratory sort and yet he’s just standing there. Here’s hoping something actually comes of that and he isn’t completely satisfied with how this fight went.
Ah yes, the token first-battle-victory to prove that the villains are legit and not just your average mooks. I’m sure there’s a Trope for this, but I refuse to go back to TV Tropes to find out exactly what they’re calling it right now. I just got free of that prison! I won’t go back! You’ll never take me alive!
Too bad we can never take the Savage Champions seriously. Penk is too busy ruining all their cool posing with his gaudy red pauldrons and double-wide helmet. Go back to WoW, Penk!
Mr. Phil, I get the feeling from this story arc is that you might be a Horde supporter. If that is so (or not), what race and/or what server do you play most on?
Remember when the Horde was an unstoppable swarm of hellish green berserkers, raging across the planes as they fled their dying world? Nobody who still plays WoW does. They have SHAMANS now. They’re basically hippies.

Would you take them seriously after they permanently kill one or more peacemakers?
Of course I guess that would still fall into the trope of the “token sacrifice(s) to motivate the rest of the team to beat the villains for good” but proving their ‘seriousness’ to your standards would likely require that or reducing a major gastonian city and most of its population to ash, I imagine.
Possibly, but they had to get the Humans to fully retreat before they could even try that. Sort of overkill on their part if they were actually trying for the base.
Discussion (75) ¬
Suspicious that when the Tectonics get back to home base, they’ll discover Harky’s been snuffed.

Cmon Khan make this canon! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I SECOND THE MOTION!!!
There’s five of them, a harmonious musical mix. I propose a tweak, “The Pentectonics”
The Penkectonics!
Six.
Yeah, you’re right! So they should be the sextonics! Buy sex tonics and sextants at http://www.sextonics.com!
“Penk-Tectonix?” Like your idea, mixed with that of cliffmonster’s?
IMO it should parrallel The Peace-Makers a bit and likewise speak to their driving purpose.
Something like The Revengers
Guilded Age: Revengeance? I mean this song should be playing for the entirety of the siege!
What song is it they are kazoo-ing? Sounds familiar (never seen the game before though)
Game: “Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance”
Song:”The only thing I know for real”
Context: A response to Danzin’s post about calling our group of anti-heroes “The Revengers”.
I’m down with that.
Nothing like cheering for total death and destruction of your enemies.
Every page always makes me hate these guys more

He has a right to hate these guys, “Loyal”. If you have a problem, scream and rip your hair out. ;)
The rest of us have the right to get irritated with him if he posts about it page after page after page, too.

This page is relavent to how conversation works, at least how it should work, regarding people’s right to say what they want to say.
http://xkcd.com/1357/
its not his hating but his reason for hating them more that is being mocked
Mmmkay, I know I’ve raised some concerns about the Champions behavior, so I can get where you’re coming from.
But dude, you don’t need to comment about it every. Single. Page. We get it by now, we really do.
How dare the Rebels throw a party with the Ewoks when the Death Star explode and the Emperor is dead!
Playing Darth Vader’s helmet as a drum, when he was the one that killed the Emperor and saved Luke’s life doing so, may have been a bit uncalled for….
That was an Imperial pilot helmet. They also dress in all black.

Ishmael, that was lame. :/

You seem to have a problem with people having difference of opinions than you, and disguise it as that you can’t stand people that hate something you like.
You seem to have a problem with people reading and processing what Tatsu writes.
And unlike you, I based that observation on more than one comment.
Not sure if racist.
As a certain goblin in a certain other webcomic would say: he’s not racist, he’s a speciesist.
…or if just had a bad breakup with a troll?
It fell right onto the medic shack. Gives new meaning to the term M*A*S*H.
5′oclock Charley was never that accurate. OK, that one time, but he had help.
Gods, does that reference take me back.
My headcanon voices will never be the same.
Its gonna freak them out even more when they see the heroes ‘come back from the dead’ again

Credit to team as always, Goblaurence.
High five!
The way he looks, it seems like your high five idea is going to go down. Like the Hindenburg.
So, that was a thing. Who’s up for ice cream?
Me!
Just make sure you get enough Phish Food ™ for HAMMERHEAD
Alt text continued: “…But just to be safe, you go check.”
… has anyone seen the Silver Centurion? …No? …Good!
The Bird Man looks displeased.
Pretty sure that’s just a combination of the goggles and the fact that beaks don’t leave a lot of room for facial expression.
I like how Goblaurence still isn’t smiling after all that. He’s so close.
On the other hand, Auraugu would normally seem like the celebratory sort and yet he’s just standing there. Here’s hoping something actually comes of that and he isn’t completely satisfied with how this fight went.
Personally I was surprised how willing he was to back down and give Goblaurence his due when the whole blimp plan finally snapped into place.
Not quite the gloryhound we all think he is perhaps.
Cool guys don’t look at explosions.
So long as they continue to actually look at the explosion, their victory is incomplete.
I can’t believe I watched that whole video.
Am I the only one that is reminded of the 80s GI Joe intro where they destroy the massive Cobra airship and then pose before the burning debris?
Yep.
OH, THE HUGE MANATEES!
Ah yes, the token first-battle-victory to prove that the villains are legit and not just your average mooks. I’m sure there’s a Trope for this, but I refuse to go back to TV Tropes to find out exactly what they’re calling it right now. I just got free of that prison! I won’t go back! You’ll never take me alive!
Too bad we can never take the Savage Champions seriously. Penk is too busy ruining all their cool posing with his gaudy red pauldrons and double-wide helmet. Go back to WoW, Penk!
Gentle reminder that the original concept behind Guilded Age was something of a very loose WoW parody.
Mr. Phil, I get the feeling from this story arc is that you might be a Horde supporter. If that is so (or not), what race and/or what server do you play most on?
Hell no.
I was a Gnome ‘lock on Sentinels years ago.
You would have to pay me to go back to WoW now.
Remember when the Horde was an unstoppable swarm of hellish green berserkers, raging across the planes as they fled their dying world? Nobody who still plays WoW does. They have SHAMANS now. They’re basically hippies.

What? Oh no. Only thing they need to earn my respect is a Second Season wardrobe change where Penk looks less like a tomato.
Because while I find their presence on my sandwich insidious, I do not find them threatening.
And thus, a musician, a crazy luchador, a stoner, a bodybuilder, a depressed birdman, and a random chick with fire magic destroyed a military outpost
Earth/Fire Magic.* FTFY
Hey, where’s Auraugu’s tag?
GET IT? *DOG TAG!*
Arr arr arr (or is it Aur aur aur?)
Oh, the Elfmanity!
Honestly, my only complaint about this page is…
…The savage races could’a USED that outpost as a forward base! Nevermore! Nevermore!
Possibly, but they had to get the Humans to fully retreat before they could even try that. Sort of overkill on their part if they were actually trying for the base.
Anyone else reminded of this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW_hGOFukMQ
Yeah, always amazes me how a single A-Wing managed to take down a SSD
