@Kurtroedeger And Transformer!! How cool
@PurpleDragon a transforming robot sent to the moon to die sounds like the lead in to a sci Fi movie where it comes back for revenge
@Kurtroedeger Right? He canabolizes the lander and other robot to get the parts to come back
@PurpleDragon Where he tracks down his creators, dealing retribution.
Since he was created in japan, should Kaiju be a part of the response to fight back the vengeful moon robot?
@PurpleDragon Kaiju is the term for all the giant monsters, godzilla, mothra, etc.
Okay, base script concept is good, just need to hammer out the details. Should there be a B story between a japanese roboticist and godzilla?
@Kurtroedeger Ah, then we're on the same page 😁
I'm thinking the robot and roboticist fall madly in love and are both in the plot to take over earth....
@PurpleDragon Ohh, a plot twist.
@Kurtroedeger And then the lander (which has survived and cannibalized the other robot) comes back and MURDERS the roboticist!!!!!! 😱
do you think we can get Bruce willis to be in this?
@Kurtroedeger No sadly, he's sick and dying.... 😭
@PurpleDragon he is :(
@PurpleDragon part of me just wants to crib the generic hallmark channel movie but replace quirky big city lawyer with japanese roboticist and down to earth small town boy with murder moon bot.
@Kurtroedeger @PurpleDragon
The literal meaning of "kaiju" is "strange beast".
