Battlezone discussion: BBZ vs Bentley vs GOD (aka PG to you lower life forms)
this is mainly alive so that bentley can plead that goddamn michael korvac (what if?/gotg) is kosher........ he thinks i was born yesterday or something lol
j/k
for serious, bbz has to post his team soon, pm'ing them to competitors is a little compromising to say the least
So... I'm going to a crystal clear plan of drafting:
Kang
Korvac (base form)
Punisher Robot
We all know that Korvac has a nice cube-computer attached to his body. I'm drafting Galactus's servitor (the Punisher Robot), to make TaaII my home base. Easy concept right
Now, I'm not going to bring neither the ship nor tech from the ship into the battlefield, so any boost I can get from my strategy, as long as I don't time-manipulate and using my prep time, should be legal.
I suppose the arguments against it is that Korvac is too powerful? Thoughts?
When the Surfer fought the Punisher Robot in the Tyrant arc it seemed to me they were on TaaII.
Can we really say the ship is as powerful as a cosmic cube or something of sorts? I guess it is a cosmic artifact, but not one I plan to take into battle.
You would be kind of cyborg-like, containing both organic and machine parts. You wouldn't necesarily double your mass though, so you would lose half of Ultron's adamantium.
Edit: I'm giving you my conception of how the amalgam could work, I have never seen the full fledged rules of amalgams regarding this particular case.
even in that link you posted it says the punishers are aboard galactus' spherical vessel, not the world ship taa II
but even then, taa II is a cosmic power artifact that any of our characters could utilize without any difficulty, in fact korvac had help in that regard since the badoon gave him that harness.
for example, i could draft a random a.i.m. scientist during the time they were manufacturing cosmic cubes, instant god level character that can slip under a low street cap
nice try bentley
i'm not scared of korvac BTW (doom can deal with him, and i have 3 other ways to KILL him off the top of my head), it's just that taa II is in the class of a cosmic cube and there is no way to sell it as anything less

And you think I would just jump with Korvac without ten ways of killing Doom on the top of my head?
If TaaII is not legal that's fine, but none of your comparisions were actually valid. I don't draft Korvac in a certain time -example, Magus almost wearing the IG-, Korvac's harness is part of his powerset -saying the Badoon gave it to him is like saying a spider gave Peter Parker his powers-, I challenge you to use TaaII and get something useful given the speculations I stated -stealing no tech, not bringing the ship into battle-. Boosting myself using TaaII is something done with the powerset of my character, the CC in the other hand, can be used by anyone disregarding the powerset. Just to bring a precedent, in a past tourney someone drafted Coligostro with Hell as his homebase; I mean Coligostro without his powers, then using his homebase he just put the crown of the king on hell on his head and became skyfather, that's even cheaper that what I'm doing and was not deemed illegal
About the Punisher Robot, he was at TaaII in the Tyrant affair right? so I just won't draft the PR's living in the Solar Ship. If I really wanted the ship I would just draft one of the animals in Galactus's zoo, but that wouldn't be very sport from me.
Bottomline, I'm awesome for fighting the combination
(I'm still looking for a team btw. Is multiplying yourself, powercopying or using independant constructs legal in this BZ?)
how about we make the prep area a 20 x 20 room, that all items must fit in to be of use ?
but seriously, the worldship is a cosmic artifact far and away over the low herald cap, just interfacing with it makes one something like a cube being.
I don't exactly disagree, but I'd like to know exactly how powerful are we allowed to call upon. I mean, if it can't even be above low herald it's something I would like to know...
