Unknown at this time. We can certainly say that the bit we saw isn't doing very well, what with the nukes, and the immortal magma worm.

Another connection to Pacific Rim is that the Biomega they're fighting this time has the same color palette as the Kaiju from the movie. It's all greys and blues and purples, while I do remember a previous Biomega being reddish brown.

Also the comment about the Titans being plugged into Tokyo's electric grid for power reminded me of Evangelion.

Actually, I think they're both dead.

Yeah, that looks like a draw to me.

Well, a draw in a we-lose kind of way.

[up][up]Yeah, I'm pretty sure they can make more biomega easier than we can make more Titans.

The answer is obvious: energy weapons. Can't have any of it left? Incinerate it.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

It's like the guys who work at Ultra never read a comic or played a video game before or something. Enemy is constantly regenerating even from bare scraps of organic material? Strip them down to their component molecules! Burn it all! PURGE THEM WITH HOLY PROMETHIUM IN THE NAME OF THE EMPRAH! *ahem* Sorry about that. War Hammer 40000 still gets to me sometimes.

[up]No, no, burning the unholy beast of the appocalyps is appropriate. Why do you think the imperium loves fire so much?

Just realized that Hollow Earth probably didn't get destroyed because Robo is credited to have mapped it on first issue .-.*just read the old ones*

Oh wait, according to timeline Hollow Earth thing hadn't happened yet, so thats a different thing I guess ._.; Well I was also wondering "Huh how come on pyramid has 'focusing crystal' but Robo doesn't call bs on crystal power?" xD I guess thats early issue weirdness or something? .-.

[up]He could have mapped it without actually going down there himself or exploring too extensively. Using sonar and radio imaging or something. Either that or maybe the crystal civilization only exist in sparse pockets that he hadn't discovered.

There are a few small maybe gaffes like that. For example, Robo is surprised to see Dr. Dinosaur in the US in the science fair story, as if it is the first time he has seen Dr. Dinosaur outside of his island; however, this story takes place after Dr. Dinosaur sues Robo and attacks the LHC several times.

[up] It could be that Robo didn't expect even Dr. Dinosaur to try to steal things from a childrens science fair.

In more recent news, Robo's new plan is to wirelessly steal nuclear energy from China.

And also being a hypocrite, given he just said he isn't happy about Ultra doing something similar with Japan's electric grid. I am amused by the whole plan, at least, and find it likely that this will bite Robo, hard.

Actually, Robo was pointing out that Titans usually draw power from Tokyo's grid. Seeing one operate outside of Tokyo means that they don't anymore.

At half a page a day, yes.

Personally I think it would be better if then went a full page every other day, but it is what it is.

Brian and/or Scott posted the math of why they chose the half page every day pacing a while back - that anything slower would make them lag behind the print releases, and anything faster would be too quick for Scott to draw, provided they kept any kind of normal schedule (IE set days per week). Every other day would be good, but generally webcomics are consumed on weekly schedules rather than two-day intervals that would change the day of week constantly.

[up] And they mentioned that as an added bonus, the half-page happens to be the perfect size for someone browsing via mobile.
