You mean you've never seen that before?

 

[Rally_man]

Nope.

 

[RoJoHen]

I dunno, but the All Spark better stay as far away from that thing as possible.

Don't mind Tachy, Rally_Man. He's just a bit jaded about this kind of stuff after proposing a machine like this in his "Is it possible to saw the Earth in half to avoid asteroids?" thread in SciTech. When you dream as big as Tachy does, real life just seems so mundane.

I didn't even think that was real at first...

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Talk about Heavy Plant Crossing.... [But it looks nothing like Oucho T. Cactus... - someone]

Looks like something out of Terminator Salvation.

For those not reading the websites on that machine it is well worth pointing out that that isn't a "saw" but a wheel of buckets/scoops.

And, yes, it's a real machine with a real purpose and is really that frelling huge.

Indeed. I think it's actually kind of neat, but I can't help thinking it could be bigger...

Constructicons, merge for the kill!

 

[Crusher Disciple]

Oh, so they're building another Chunnel, then?

Speaking of massive tools, for those being pedantic as usual it is well worth pointing out that when you talk about sawing something in half you are using the word saw as a verb and not a noun.

Oh...you.

Please tell me he's never done that.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

No, he hasn't. But the great thing about it is, even as outlandish as that proposal was, you all can easily believe that it could come from Tachy.

 

[Gepard]

^It could. It sounded exactly like him, only with more style. Maybe you can be Tachy's understudy.

I saw what you did there.
