Haven't seen one of these yet. Can be anything. Exists in real life, a James Bond Movie, sci-fi planetkillers, anything.

Personally, I'm fond of the Death Star. Nothing says 'Don't Rebel, or Else' like a 900 km battlestation capable of destroying planets.

I would have to say that it would be Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris will roundhouse kick you, forcing the poo-on-a-stick up your own nose for a tragicomic death.

personaly, i find a simple rocket propelled astroid effective.

and i've been meaning to ask this for some time, as i see referances lots of places....

who's Chuck Norris?

seriously... i see many referances, but i got 0 clue.

Your Favorite Superweapon
Being Bad Wolf/The One etc - that is, being able to influence the universe through sheer force of will.

Why, Chuck Norris is God.

The Death Star is awesomely cool, but it failed miserably against puny little groups of one-man fighters. I like Command and Conquer's Particle Cannon, or the Ragnarok (from Europe mod). The USA should build a particle cannon. That would also be awesomely cool.

He's a karate and film person.

I haven't seen many of his films, the referance was a bit of a joke (for some reason there's a fair deal of Chuck Norris fandom on most forums).

Smallpox

yeup, the mass driver... if you can sling shot it around a few planets and then have it headed near enough to straight towards the relivant star on it's way in to the target planet, it could pick up some pretty impressive momentum, i think.

or you can just pound hte serface flat with massed bombardments of the things.


humm.. other weapons of mass distruction *ponders* ....


do humungadidgiously stupidly large hords of rifle armed infantry count? ... admitedly not very effective, but freaken awsome none the less.


oh! the giant railgun. you can fire just about anything out of a big enough one of those and create an interesting boom. mass driver again, i guess, but still.

yeah, when it comes to mass distruction, i prefure brute force over elegance.

now, in other areas, it can be different.

oh, and ont he chuck norris question... i think i may have seem a bit of something with him in it once, mabey.

edit: good grief. i thought i recognized him from somewhere. from wikipedia:

"Chuck Norris sponsors the infomercial, Total Gym Fitness, which usually airs in the late night or early morning hours."

they show that one here. no one, so far as i'm aware, has a clue who he actually is, aside from being the guy in those.

That was just the first one. The second one learned from the mistake, and would have been nigh-on unbeatable but for the fact that it was attacked before completion.

The Emperor is such a godmodder.

Chuck Norris= Walker, Texas Ranger.

Hilarious sketch, just sad it doesn't mean anything :p

I love the deathstar, but i have another favorite, The Sun Crusher, off of the Jedi Academy Trilogy from Kevin J. Anderson, The sun crusher is all but invurnable to any attack, you could even fly it in a sun and it wouldnt be destroyed, It is called the sun crusher because of the Torepedos, they get fired into the sun and creates a reaction to make the sun go into a supernova destroying all the planets orbiting it. YAY! TO DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!!!

Smallpox
Ah, classic that one, though I kinda prefer the Black Death.

not sure weither to stomp on you becuase they're just "kiwis" or say "yay!" for you allowed for the ignorant who think a kiwi is a fruit :)

Hilarious sketch, just sad it doesn't mean anything :p
Yeah

Any sort of massive railgun/hypervelocity cannon. Like the giant railgun in Heinlein's Moon is a Harsh Mistress or the Galaxy Gun from Star Wars.

Yeah, I know they're just kiwis, but I do not want my army of fuzzy birdies to be mistaken for an army of fuzzy fruit. Or carnivorous New Zealanders.

good point. actually, the fact that the word "kiwi" refurs to New Zealanders is apparantly almost as obscure as that it is the bird...

and very few places in the world acknowledge that the fruit is a "kiwi-fruit"

comes from the old american army packageing, i think. K1W1. why they couldn't just mark it "NZF" or something, i don't know. *shrugness*

The *big* Thrintun Power amplification helmet. The one they used to order every sentient being in the galaxy to kill itself.

Oh - and Lyta Alexander. I like superweapons you can also make love to.

I think a giant gun that could fire black holes would do the job.

Ow. I don't know if it could be used as a superweapon though. Well, ok, if you were being attacked by beings made out of milk, your singing would probably curdle them to death.;)

I'd like to take a moment to point out that there are no super weapons in real life capable of destroying the entire world or even a significant portion of its surface. That just means that we don't have enough nukes to scorch every square inch of land, it doesn't take into account the after effects which would likely be quite severe. World devastating weapons only exist in the movies/books. For now.

I do like the idea of a kinetic missile. Get it going to 1/4 C and slam it into a planet.

But smallpox is extinct, more or less. But fine, avian flu I guess.

I'd have to say point singularity cannons. Nothing punches a hole through anything like a small, nearly infinite-density dot wrapped in incredibly destructive gravitational tidal forces.

The best thing is, if they're small enough, they'll even evaporate after they take out the target (unless, of course, one is stupid enough to shoot 'em into a planet or star that can keep it going.)

That's because the USArmy is teh 7337, duh.

I'll cast my vote with any of: the Vogon Constructor Fleet, an ascended Ancient, the Infinite Improbability Drive, the Dakara Superweapon, or a Quantum Eraser*.

* - Quantum Eraser, n. A weapon that hugely reduces the value of the quantum wave function in a particular region of space. The existence of anything that previously existed in the affected region of space (ships, asteroids, or even planets, depending on the volume of space affected) becomes extremely improbable, and thus in >99.999% of all cases any object previously in the affected volume immediately ceases to exist.

"You do not exist. You have never existed." (paraphrased from George Orwell's 1984)

There was a Star Trek TNG computer game once where they encounter a weapon called the Unity Device. This thing was HUGE, roughly 600 million miles in diameter if I recall.

It effectivly could alter the structure of matter within the galaxy, effectivly doing....whatever you wanted it to do.

I'd go with that one.

I can think of a lot of ways that they could. Like, if you could get AIDS from sharing a straw with someone. Or if you could get chlamydia from hugging them. Or get trichomoniasis from having a wet dream. Or...

Ok, I'll stop.

I saw a demo for that a while ago.

Going back to superweapons, my favorite is Wal-Mart. The Smiley face of death that has a ton of costumes and gadgets will have the whole world quaking...

Organ Donors In the Nude.

The I.G.N.O.R.E cannon..The only superweapon guaranteed to always suceed in it's job.

But smallpox is extinct, more or less. But fine, avian flu I guess.

No, the US and Russia (and perhaps a few other nations) have some left.

The Russians also have an airborne variant that was genetically engineered to be both untreatable and will not be stopped by the old vaccine.

Read "The Devil In The Freezer".

Hmmm super weapons....

Ok take 1 inhabited planet, with 2 continents
You drop 600 million copies of the bible on one continent, and 600 million copies of the koran on the other...... stand back and wait a few years and hey presto both sides kill each... leaving you 1 nice uninhabited planent (if slightly radioactive) ready for colonisation AND we know it works too :D


Actually I prefer the 'footfall' method, attatch a small motor to a 5km wide asteriod that aims it at earth , 22 km/sec velocity... heck it would be through a deathstar and out the other side before they could say wtf!:eek:

Aim it somewhere nice...... yellowstone park for example, wait 25 yrs for the dust to settle and once again you have a nice empty planet:)

<<currently building the anti-plasmatic-electro-atomic-kill-o-zap cannon

You've missed the flaw with this one

<Russian General> release the mutant smallpox
<minion> smallpox released sir
<Russian General> now order our troops to attack the western imperialists
<minion> sir ... all our troops have just died from the untreatable smallpox
<Russian General> sod it... fire the nukes

Indeed, I could never get off the first island, though, I simply couldn't be arsed with it.

I got up to the last mission-y bit, but after spending hours fruitlessly trying to find the last 2 component thingies (I got all of the soldiers' ones, the crate ones and had one of the other ones :() I decided that enough was enough.

Shaft is my favourite superweapon

Your penis can destroy worlds?! :eek:

I’ve got Death Star, Bitch!

Me. :)

I think my Dino Riders idea needs more attention. Dinosaurs! Lasers! Riding!

Getting mass quantities of Anti-Matter and releasing it in the world's major cities.

Pwnage.

First, the first Death Star was only 120 km, not 900. I don't know where you are getting your facts, but you were incorrect.

Secondly: the Quantum Dynamo from Commander Keen Episode Five: Goodbye Galaxy! Nothing says destructive force like blowing up the entire galaxy in one bomb.

Wasn't there this bizzare bullet the main character's gun from Outlaw Star could fire, creating that? Called like a "Number 9 Bullet" or something....

The second Death Star was 900 km. *nod*
Once again, incorrect. It was APPROXIMATELY 160 kilometres. I say approximately due to the state of its construction, as that makes it harder to scale the exact size.

*shakes his head* There is some controversy about that, but according to Lucasfilm's statement of what is an isn't canon, it is 900km. *nod*

Meh. The Death Star could only destroy planets. The Shawkenese Universe Destroyer (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shawkenese_universe_destroyer) could easily destroy an entire galaxy should it have ever been activated.

Lucasfilm's canon policy is itself quite easily debated. Of course, I am a frequent visitor to http://www.st-v-sw.net/, so meh. Let's drop this. Not a good idea to hijack, especially when it's Star Trek vs. Star Wars.

...NEVER SAY THOSE BLASPHEMOUS WORDS AGAIN! Robots in Disguise was a huge insult to the entire Transformers saga.

Yeah, well the Death Star could just blow up the thing before it got a chance.

Mine is the Neutron Bomb. Highly Effective...

LoL, I was thinking of the Death Star before I even got to that in the post. Too bad. That was a big ass gun.

Other than that, I suppose the second coolest weapon is the BFG9000 from Doom. I mean, common. It's the only weapon in almost any first person shooter I can think of that can litterally clear a room. Nothing survives, and it doesn't hurt friendlies. Awesome.

I also liked another weapon from a movie I saw once (can't remember the name). It was sort of like a space booby trap. Supposidly it was made by super advanced aliens, and they would put it out in space, a ways away from a planet that had setilent life forms on it. Once/if the life form ever gets to a point where they are capable of space travel beyond their own planets, they come accross this thing in space and bring it in. Of course, they want to play with it and see what it does, etc, I mean common, its the first alien artifact they've ever found. They get a nasty supprise when they figure out it's an anti-mater weapon capable of destroying their entire solar system. :eek: I guess the aliens did it so that if anything got smart enough to have space travel they couldn't conquor space from them. Pretty cool.

I'd go with either the Hactar bomb, or...a combination. The Darkaber and the Sun Crusher, so you can vary, destroying entire solar systems, or just planets. It would be awesome. Or, a gigantic saw ten million miles across, made out of the same material as the Sun Crusher's armor, rotating at a couple, three million rpm. Just because it would look mad awesome.

I'm going to have to say Unicron

But you must admit, it would look badass.

I ment they just look like huge spinning saw blades made out of the stuff stars are made out of. Don't really spin that fast though I don't think. Wouldn't necessarily need to though, considering they consist of a couple kazillion tons of molton heavy metals and million degree gasses.

http://www.astrocruise.com/m101.jpg 0.00000000000000001 RPM or not, that'd fuck yo shit up. :)

I forgot about Project Pluto. That was fun. Nuke the cities of the world while you flatten everything between them and spread fallout to all corners. For the rest of the...EVER. FOREVER!

my favorite superweapon is peace.

don't get me wrong, it may sound like it but i'm not talking sainthood here.

though i have to admit a certain fondness for irony.

all the high tec toys are fun too. fun that is, if used, designed and evolved, to explore and be creative with. that is where the real gratification is to be found.

it is perfectly possible to avoid supporting conflict without making some big deal out of doing so.

of course if you want to carry a sign, or paint a big target on your shirt or whatever, historians seem to claim this may help, well, i'm not for denying anyone their altruistic gratification, but for those who lack the courage of a don quiota or a baron moonchausen, it is sufficient for us each in our inconspicuous, nonconfrontational way, to simply avoid contributing to the perpetuation of what we find abhorent and unpleasant.

i'm not calling this an effective defence aganst armed aggression. obviously it is not. but rather and avoidance of creating a market for armed aggression, which i may be ignorant, but i do not see it as probable to exist without.

the universal citizen militia is probably the best defense against that. armed with ultrastunners mounted on grav-sleds and those gravity modulation spaceworthy 'winibago/carivans' we lananarans call 'single-ships'

we have other toys and ways. energy field excavating tools, used to dig tunnels and for mucking in mineral extraction, make holes, big holes, in whatever they are pointed at just fine.

but really the most powerful weapon is simply peace.

and if peace fails, you build a bridge of pearls, by falling back before a supperior enimy and continue falling back, untill their supply lines are overextended even for them, then pinch off their sources of perpetuation and assimulate their remaining forces.

confusion also helps. ever read tactics of mistake?

With Diarrhea in a super soaker.

Wouldn't do much good against several objects massing around 1500 tons each moving at relativistic velocity, timed so that one strikes the earth 12 hours after the other.

Not even the cockroaches would survive.

if you've got several rather than just two... make it 6 hours... or 5, that's odd in the 24 hour cycle, and would mean they'd not hit the same place multipul times.
