Magnus: Robot Fighter meets C-3PO and R2D2



The latest trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker features an ominous moment where it appears that C-3PO is saying goodbye to his allies for the last time.  If they must kill of the beloved droid, I hope that he at least sacrifices himself in a heroic manner.  I'm still mad at the way they had Admiral Ackbar go out like a punk in The Last Jedi.

    Cover looks simple, but with the lighting, I'd bet it took a while before you were satisfied Ross.

    I still get a kick out of Magnut, robot biter meets the C-3PO front end of a computerized bicycle. "Delivering Tomorrow's Lunch Today".

    They can always have the Kaminoans clone him (and use GFFA computers to sleep-teach him with every facet of the original's life).

    Heh!

    I bet Magnus thought he was C3PX. The protocol droid-turned-assassin!

    Maybe Magnus could me the Jetsons(2017), whose robot was born a flesh-and-blood human.

    Hey Ross, if C-3PO were here, would he/it be able to leave a posting?
    "I'm not a robot" might be a bit of a block for him.

    Nice cover.

    @Carycomic and Ordinaryguy2: Here's an idea for a fanfic: Marvin the Martian (in "Mad as a Mars Hare") doesn't have his time projector (evolution ray) in reverse, but has it set too high, so he turns Bugs Bunny into, not a rabbuck (as in "After Man: A Zoology of the Future), but into a lagomorph-descended variation of a WILD BOAR; it could be titled "Killer Rabbuck". XD!

    Cryogenic! ^_^

    I notice Magnus has never met the Daleks yet, or the Borg (or Lore), or Brainiac...

    Or, to go for the comic angle, Bender: "Bite my shiny metal @$$, bigot boy!"

    @Anonymous943: Not bad! And, as the Killer Rabbuck, maybe he could take on the joined forces of Deadpool and the TMNT.

    @Anonymous1237: Grooooooooooooooan!

    Another fan of Dougal Dixon's work? I re-read 'After Man' most recently only a few weeks ago...
