The goddamn Scorpitron.

[Drool]

I had something like that happen, except with a Mangler against Brother Goliath. I had no idea what a Mangler was supposed to be.

I had the damnedest time taking that bugger down. I never finished the original, I was 11 at the time, but i finally killed the Scorpitron. I thought i was the shizznit!

Trying to remember the first time...

I believe it was during the time my younger brother was playing the game. He had a team that he split into two. One character had AT weapons and was south of it (I think it was Sabot rockets) and the other were on the... east. He kept the AT guys in relative distance and the second team was closer. It took a couple rockets and some melee weapons to take it down. He was about nine, I ten, at the time, and it was a heck of a moment for us, since just about every other time ended up with the team being right out murdered.

I kicked Scorptiron's ass yesterday in melee combat. All my seven of my chars had Brawling 3+, Chainsaws, and Kevlar Suits. I'm one of those putzes who only uses melee and energy weapons though.

[The Tallest]

I don't believe I've ever taken the Scorpitron down. At least not that I can remember. I really hope that at soem point I can get Wasteland so I may once again try my luck.

The only time my party actually killed the damned thing was one that just returned from the Death Valley trip. So they're all decked out in Power and Pseudochitinous Armour, wielding Proton Axes and not much else (because fun as it was, most of them ran out of ammo by the end), and it felt like the ending of a Hollywood movie -- when the protagonist that had previously failed to overcome some obstacle that used to feel impossible for him/her returns to his/her hometown, and gives it a good push and discovers that it's no longer so impossible.

It was so cathartic, I almost cried.

(Also, for all the years I've been playing Wasteland, it only happened three years ago)

The Scorpitron took me by surprise the first time I encountered it. I burned every clip I had, ran away with only one person still conscious, spent every dime on more clips and AT weapons, then returned to finish the job...but wound up getting my rear end whipped again. A second time of doing other things, making some more money, and buying some more AT weapons and another kevlar suit then back to Las Vegas--third time was the charm.

Back in 1988, I admit that I wasn't familiar with the concept of the "boss" fight but I knew that the Scorpitron was at least an order of magnitude tougher than anything else I had encountered before then.

[Darkzone]

The first time i encountered the Scorpitron, i thought: S...! What just happend?
All dead within two or three rounds.
It took me one whole day to find a way to destroy this machine. I really loved it.
The Scorpitron and the situation.
The Scorpitron was always my favorite enemy in Wasteland.

The last time i came to encounter this death machine, i brought the PowerArmor's from the Citadel along,
and the fists, knifes and pic axes with me along, to raise the skills of my party.
Naturally the Scorpitron had no chances. But i hated, what i have done.
It has stollen the whole joy and magic in overcoming this enemy.
It was disrespectful against this beloved nightmare.

To the dev team:
We need a Scorpitron in Wasteland 2.
