Serendipitous Nonsense

HM3: Military chevrons

I've just updated the ShoulderRight-Standard set of items to include separate shoulder boards, chevrons, and rockers so you can do military ranks. They should all fit together so you can do multiple rockers & chevrons over a board to do various ranks.

This is the prize for Skybandit's win in the last Character Contest, by the way.

Skynet vs. Transformers. Who wins?

In the history of film, we have two great robot franchises to contend with. The first is the soulless living metal cyborg army of the Skynet future, Terminators rolling over the last tenuous threads of humanity. The other are the transforming alien Autobots known as the Transformers. Who would win an all-out struggle between these inorganic titans?

On the one hand you have alien technology and Optimus Prime's astounding generalship, going against a sentient AI whose best plan ultimately was to send Arnold Schwarzenegger back in time repeatedly to kill one dude. One dude!

On the other hand, the liquid metal T-2000 not only resembled a gorgeous woman (take THAT, Bumblebee!) but was able to transform itself in limited ways as well.

I admit I'm a bit stumped on this one. So I turn it over to you to debate -- cast your vote and persuade others to do the same!

Caption Contest 120: Bat Gat

Your challenge this week is to come up with the best replacement dialog for this comics panel:

The best entry (as judged by yours truly) wins the author's choice of either any item they like or any portrait to be included in HeroMachine 3′s final release, or a custom black and white “Sketch of the Day” style illustration (you pick the subject, I draw it however I like).

All entries must be left as a comment (or comments) to this post. Keep ‘em clean (appropriate for a late-night broadcast TV show), but most importantly, keep ‘em funny!

No limit to entries, but please, self-edit and only put up ones you genuinely think are good!
