So in the big dukeroo between the older Major Matt Mason Power Limbs by Mattell [top] and Lieutenant Ellen Ripley's Power Loader from Aliens by Kenner [bottom], who would come out on top? I'll re-phrase that. If they fought, who would win and why?

My money is on the tallet, more flexible Supernaut Powrtlimbs, Ripley would be skidding around on those ridiculous tracks. Now had it been the Halcyon Powerloader model kit, it would be a different matter.
ReplyDeleteI’d bet on Ripley! For a couple of reasons;
ReplyDelete1 – Ripley has the Killer Instinct! Major Matt always struck me as more explorer and less soldier.
2 – Ripley’s Exo-Suit has three rather vicious looking double barrelled cannons, and she would not hesitate to use them. Poor old Matt wouldn’t even be able to get close, somewhat reminiscent of the scene from Indiana Jones when he lost patience and just shot the bad guy!
MMM FTW. He's got years of experience on Ripley. The Major just decompresses the cargo hold they are in and watches Ripley die a painful quick death and thinks to himself "Just like a miner to bring a power loader to a hard vacuum fight"
ReplyDeleteThe scene where Ellen Ripley stomps into the Cargo Hold to rescue Newt, wearing the Caterpillar P-5000 and says to the Xenomorph Queen “Get away from her… You Bitch!!” Still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.
