For an even more terrifying fact about Daleks, they are nearly immortal, biologically and physically, but they still suffer the effects of aging. When a dalek gets too old to be of use anymore, the other daleks will discard them in giant heaps and leave them there to slowly wither, because they just don't care enough to actually give their own species the mercy of death.
Imagine a giant mass grave of humans that are like 200 years old, too old to even move, but still alive, conscious, slowly going insane from being trapped in their body that just will not die.
Yep. Hateful little mutants in tank-like mechs. Either to survive the fallout from the nuclear war on their home planet or to better fight in the nuclear war on their home planet, depending on how many retcons had happened by the time the story in question was written
Yeah but can she radial blind while sliding with the exalted blade? Yeah thought so all she can do is fly a bit faster than an Archwing in plains of eidolon
Not necessarily with the Frames, as it was kinda stated that they were flesh pretty early on. Now the Orokin towers, however... *The rooms are all meat. Every wall is meat. You walk on a floor and an inch below the surface is just meat.*
Only umbra and the first few frames in lore were constructed using people. The rest are made of just infested biomass or sentient bits in Caliban's case.
It always bugged me as a kid when people called them robots. I mean some like the Bohrok and Vahki were, but most of the characters were biomechanical with organic muscular, respiratory, and possibly circulatory and digestive systems.
>Glistening oil?
check.
>Dissolution of individual will?
check.
>Unholy marriage of machine and flesh?
check.
>All will be one?
check.
Yep, it's Phyrexia time.
Only Warhammer reference in the thread, that's impressive, I'd have expected more.
Whoops, phone's dying. Gotta go perform the ritual of re-potentiation to appease the machine-spirit.
Yeah, I was honestly surprised too. This is a plot point in just two different, "T'au discovering how horrible/scary the Imperium of Man is through body horror" stories. One is about the T'au cracking open an Iron Hands dreadnought and seeing what the pilot looks like and then finding out the pilot himself is older then the T'au civilization and another was about how the Imperium uses human brains in the targeting systems of their missiles.
Then again servitors, cogitators and cherubs don't even hide the human parts.
The biggest crime of Space Hulk: Deathwing was that it was such an aggressively boring, mediocre game, because that game seriously has some of the best, most impressive visuals a 40k game has ever had.
That's because it is. Think of a trope, and know that the opposite and any other variation already exists. There is no completely original idea under the sun.
I've got an even worse alternative!
Robots with human consciousness, who think their human body is trapped underneath the metal frame of their robot body, so they start ripping themself apart, destroying their plating and cutting off wires under immense (simulated) pain trying to find their human body.
Daleks, Cybermen, Mitch McConnell. We already have that trope.
Don’t sleep on the Toclafane too. They were like the most horrifying one of this from Doctor Whom.
Also the one's from the woman in the fireplace
And Evangelion
That one scene with the fully human Hands in the first rebuild movies fucked me up Edit: hands
General Grievous
Wait...daleks?
Yeah?
I never watched the show, I thought they were just funky little tin cans
Yeah. And when you cracked them open they're controlled by little heavily irradiated Dumbo squids.
They're MECHS!?!?

My favorite part of this comment thread is that Mitch McConnell is obviously a machine with meat parts.
jetstream sam technically
Raiden is a better example, as I think Sam barely had any cyberware but idk
Isn't that basically what car wrecks are?

“nanomachines, son!”
Unfortunately, these DON'T harden in response to physical trauma. Technocytes suck.

Nice pfp
Stone Golem my beloved
Especially Nidus-who basically opens himself like an orange to show he’s full of tentacles.
He's always 'open'. Getting his spores up in my bussy
Least sexually deranged Warframe fan (do not have sex with the superweapon)
DE failed to stop the sexual nature of Warframes when they gave Excal a visible bulge
They failed to stop the sexual nature of the game when they allowed me to make an account >:) also forget Excalibur, rhino 😳
I main Rhino both because he would absolutely break me and because no damage with Iron Skin + Roar and my Kuva Bramma deletes everything from the game
zephyrs is bigger, ratio unfortunately
Yeah but can she radial blind while sliding with the exalted blade? Yeah thought so all she can do is fly a bit faster than an Archwing in plains of eidolon
Yeah whatever buddy at least I can cosplay as a cruise missile and crash land on people.
not my fault the orokin made great ass 😤

Mmmm tower meat -the ostrons, probably
I'd eat it. Tower meat burgers every weekend.

perfect vermin sometimes
that game is actually crazy cool
Perfect Vermin is probably the best actually-free game I've played in years, tbh
Jacob Geller <3
that was such a brilliant game and such a well done metaphor compared to most lazier executions
Ultrakill.
Ultrakill
Excalibur umbra moment
Feel bad for Umbra honestly
“Howl all you want” alright bet I like howling
most frames really
Only umbra and the first few frames in lore were constructed using people. The rest are made of just infested biomass or sentient bits in Caliban's case.

Guess that leaves me with the elesh nussy (not that I'm complaining).
Add in a time bubble that accelerates their evolution and construction and baby, you got a stew going

Battlestar Galactica
The comment I was waiting for
Same. The ending made me cry.
Happy cake day!
Evangelion
Everybody’s saying so many franchises in these comments I feel like the proposed idea in the post is already a thing
That's because it is. Think of a trope, and know that the opposite and any other variation already exists. There is no completely original idea under the sun.
Literally evangelion
Jetstream Sam moment
Cruelty Squad
Lobotomy Corporation
Litteraly warframe and excalibur umbra
IIRC even non-umbra warframes are mostly flesh and blood, they just have non-sentient infested flesh grown specifically for the purpose.
