I’ve received intel from higher up that Blacktron I AND II are coming next year…

 

So, anyone wanna make an alliance before your impending doom? I need a good excuse for why I’ve been hanging around an Aslume this whole time.

Bring it.

I have been preparing since I first learned of their return, assembling the best of the best through Project Orpheus.

My corps is ready, and be warned we are mighty.

Man, you left out the Dummy?

Have we ever confirmed that the Dummy is driven by willpower, as opposed to hope, rage, fear/inspiring fear, compassion/lack of compassion, love, life, or death? 

Actually, if I remember right there's like a grey ring of Apathy now, which I could see working.

We talked about it before, we agreed on willpower as the way almost all character descriptions describe him as having unwavering dedication to taking things apart with nothing being able to stop him. I think that's speaks to an unbreakable will.

He's not apathy as he's shown to have quite exaggerated emotions whenever he's made sad, angry or happy 

I suppose we could argue in the context of the aslume he's hope though

I tried to recruit him. But he kept breaking his power ring.

Damn, fair enough if, he's a powerful enough ally without it

 

 

Btw is everyone here aware the animation director of piece by piece is the director of Clutch Powers? Will the film end with Lofar the Dwarf recruiting Pharrell to kill Squidman?

The  very same. Now I want to know who is the greatest villain in your opinion? Rench? Frenzy? Skull twins? The space pimp known as Brick Daddy? (Squidman beats them all, IMO.)

Nah, i'll just thug it out, if they're bringing their dorky younger brother faction they've gotta be desperate

Who says we like at Blacktron I like our dorky younger brother? They just have a better idea of who’s coming out on top when our conquest is complete.

We could’ve been great allies, CloneCommando. Had you stayed with the Black Lanterns, with our alliance, we could’ve wrought peace to the galaxy—why, the universe!

Alas, our paths have diverged, which disappoints me. I can’t spare all of you from subjection; I’ve only managed arrangements for Mara Jade, and I’m currently negotiating for Dummy, though communications keep breaking between the three of us. To the rest of you, I give one word:

Prepare.

I mean space pimp has to be the worst, everyone else is doing Saturday morning cartoon stuff.

 

Squidmman definitely earned his spot as number 2 spot, he's not from earth and probably from the far future and off all the earth artists he chooses to name himself after he chooses that one? He's got skeletons in his closet

The Brick Pimp himself. Though Squidman is a really good number 1 too.

Bro they're just space pirates man, they can't even successful rob places half the time.

Though they may have grown in power they can't win as they've already made their greatest mistake, you think the Dummy or Mara would stand by as you try take over the world and subjugate their friends? You've just made two powerful enemies and if I can give you one piece of advice about the Dummy straight from official LEGO media?

Banger theme honestly, Lego is so good at inventive alien designs

Squidward is not from the SPIII theme, though.

Also, I've noticed something: As you are a kid, you relate to Spongebob. As an adult, you become Squidward. Then, when you get even older (and if you're extremely unlucky), you relate to Mr. Krabs.

Squidward is my life at this point. Cynical about life, unwanted and with neighbors that make you crazy. (or in my case, family) At least I like my job!

What have they done to you? You were my acquaintance Swordy, I tolerated you.

I have walked the dark path you are on now. It never ends well. You relentlessly tighten your grip until you find that the people you’re hurting are those who you swore to protect in the first place.

When will you learn as I did that freedom is the right of all sentient beings?

I fear that Blacktron has taken control of Superman’s mind. He appears to be returning at the same time as Blacktron’s invasion force is arriving. They might be mind-bending the entire Justice League (bar Batman) for all we know. Perhaps that is how Mara became under @Swordy‘s sway?

But worry not fellow inmates: it is always darkest before the dawn. In the end, all will be well.

I don't think that's what he's said, he said that he made arrangements for Blacktron to spare Mara, not that she's joined him.

Powerful stuff, truly the most heartbreaking moment in the aslume.

1984 from a toy stat sheet, 2007 from everyone's favorite face-ripper, or 2021 from my boy Wheeljack, depending on which continuity he enjoys.

The Blacktron II guys are nerds, a total different operation. Although they still pack a punch in their infantry, we never invited them. They’re only tagging along because the Alien Villainess told us they had to. Still, the point stands that they know who’s going to win (Blacktron) and have chosen their allegiances wisely.

 

We have become more than space pirates, for no one can’t stop us. We are a symbol!

(Go back up a few dozen pages for a more detailed manifesto of mine.)

 

We’ll give Dummy free rein to demolish whatever in the new order. Is that fair?

As for Mara, I like her—in a purely platonic way! As long as she stays as Cloud City, I’ve promised she won’t be a problem.

(Okay, that is in the running for quote of the year.)

 

Ha, you think we’re evil?

I mean, sure, that’s our branding, but honestly we just want to make everyone wear black spacesuits everywhere and colour their windows yellow. Like dude, Blacktron’s totally chill. You should like, join it, or something.

Freedom, ha. Is not [subjugation] simpler? Is this not our natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity that we crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your lives’ joy in a mad scramble for power; for identity. We were made to be ruled. In the end, you all will wear black.

You know why?

BECUZ I’M BATMAN.

 

Last time some guy said that, he got a pretty wicked, albeit painful, costume change.

I'll be real homie, I don't remember how evil your manifesto sounds nor how many pages back your thing is , just as a general rule though authoritarian regimes are always headed by dickheads and the Dummy ain't gonna tolerate that. 

 

Also if I was to examine the Dummy politically he's probably closest to some type of anarchist so your nanny state is never gonna work for him.

Okay, that's pretty convincing, you've got me ther-

Wait, you're trying to trick me by quoting the one cool star wars show! I see through you, I bet you don't even like Detours, just playing mind games like the Dummy said you would.

Well, at least we know that brothers are the same whether you're good or evil

After Pirates my secondary theme as a kid was M:Tron. Today I stand by that allegiance. They had magnets damnit! If they came back in force I would be seriously tempted. What do we want? Magnets in Lego sets again! When do we want it? Just as soon as the DC line has a pulse again!

Castle was my main theme as a kid (Fantasy era to show my age!) DC wasn't even second either

Am I misremembering or where the magnets stopped because a kid swallowed one? Either way a worthy sacrifice for cool toys

Honestly fantasy era Castle clears pretty much every normal superheroes wave, such a perfect line. That then Kingdoms right after was kinda a golden age for LEGO Castle 

[ILoveSeatron]

If Lego made a set with the old magnets I would probably buy it if I could. IMO Lego won't bring back the old magnets.(by "old magnets" I mean the style magnets Mtron used, or Ice Planet, or old train sets)

Correct. They‘ve been discontinued for good reason and will never ever be brought back!

1 hour ago, Renny The Spaceman said:

No, one would‘ve been okay-ish. Not good obviously, but also not life-threatening. The kid swallowed two with a time gap in-between, meaning the magnets tried to connect within the kids digestive tract
