Are there any technological terrors we can proudly construct with the ability to destroy planets?

Nice pic dogscoff, but don't you think the guns need a second 'strap' to help keep the barrel aligned? As is I think the the guns would eventually hang low in the front. Also there should be a horizontal strap around the front breast of the 'worthogish-bovine' to help keep the guns in place after the recoil.

then again, if everything is weightless in space it might not need more straps at all, you could also be using 'velcro' to hold it in place, hard to tell from this angle.

Oh well, it's still a nice pic, and if you chop off the head it would make a nice race portrait.

Cheers!

Maybe weightless but there's still reaction. Newton's 3rd law and all that. So unless the guns fire zero kinetic energy rounds there will be recoil, hence the need for more straps.

El Phil waits patiently for this physics to be torn apart

Thats mean. I will never think of that race the same again. The scarey orc-looking head will come up and I will remember that the body I could never see is some moo-cow
